In recent years, two defects in the PPP have been discovered [1-3]. The first defect is deficiency of ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RPI, OMIM 608611) and has been diagnosed in one patient, who presented with a slowly progressive leukoencephalopathy. The other defect is deficiency of transaldolase (TALDO, OMIM 606003). This defect is associated with liver dysfunction, whereas other organs are affected in various degrees. These two defects are very rare and although the defected enzymes are present in the same metabolic pathway, the PPP, the clinical phenotypes of both diseases are completely different. The main research goals concerning this thesis were: To characterize the normal pattern of metabolites involved in the PPP (polyols, sugars and sugar-phosphates (sugar-P)) and to diagnose new patients with abnormal metabolite profiles with a defect in the PPP To elucidate further the clinical phenotype and pathology of patients with TALDO deficiency To investigate the function of the PPP and its interrelationship with connected pathways. This thesis is divided in three sections. The biochemical methods designed to study normal and abnormal metabolite patterns of intermediates in the PPP are described in chapters 2-4. The research performed to diagnose new TALDO deficient patients and further characterisation of the clinical phenotype is described in chapter 5 and 6. In the third section we studied the function and routing through the PPP (chapter 7 and 8). The PPP is an inter-conversion of sugar-P. In the oxidative part glucose-6- phosphate is converted to a pentose-phosphate which is converted in the non-oxidative part into other sugar-P. To investigate the intracellular concentrations of sugar-P in patients with a defect in the PPP a new method was developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). With this method described in chapter 2, the accumulation of sedoheptulose-7P in blood spots, fibroblasts and lymphoblasts of TALDO deficient patients could be identified. Furthermore, the LC-MS/MS method can be used for determining enzyme activities of 8 Chapter 1 the PPP by measuring the sugar-P involved as was done for TALDO and RPI deficiency. Polyols, or polyhydric alcohols, can be formed by the reduction of sugars and are classified based on the numbers of carbon (C) -atoms: erythritol and threitol (C4-polyols, tetritols), ribitol, arabitol and xylitol (C5-polyols, pentitols), galactitol, sorbitol and mannitol (C6-polyols, hexitols) and sedoheptitol and perseitol (C7-polyols, heptitols). Knowledge of the metabolism and function of most of the polyols is very limited. In TALDO deficiency elevated urinary concentrations of erythritol, arabitol and ribitol have been described [2]. In RPI deficiency arabitol and ribitol concentrations are highly elevated in urine, wheras xylitol is mildly elevated [1,3]. These two defects and other defects associated with the accumulation of polyols, like galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency, galactokinase deficiency, essential pentosuria and L- arabinosuria, can be diagnosed by the assessment of urinary concentrations of polyols. In chapter 3, two novel methods for the quantitative profiling of polyols in urine by LC-MS/MS are described. We started with the development of one method, which can be used as a quick screening method. The different polyol isomers elute as one peak and cannot be distinguished from each other. The second method uses the same sample preparation, however the use of another type of analytical liquid chromatography column makes separation of the different polyol isomers possible and thus enables the separate quantification of erythritol, threitol, ribitol, arabitol, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, galactitol, sedoheptitol and perseitol. In patients affected with TALDO deficiency, we previously also found increased amounts of a 7-carbon chain carbohydrate which we suspected of being sedoheptulose. In chapter 4 we describe the development of a LC-MS/MS method for identification and quantitation of the seven-carbon carbohydrates sedoheptulose and mannoheptulose in urine. Additionally, other seven-carbon chain carbohydrates were characterized in urine from controls and TALDO deficient patients, including sedoheptitol, perseitol and sedoheptulose-7P. The diagnosis of TALDO deficiency in a French family with four affected children born to the same consanguineous parents in 2006 expanded the number of TALDO deficient patients from two to six [4]. One of these patients presented in the antenatal period with hydrops fetalis with oligohydramnios. The pregnancy was medically terminated at 28 weeks gestation. In chapter 5 we retrospectively measured polyols, heptuloses and sedoheptulose-7P in the amniotic fluid sample of this fetus by LC- MS/MS. 9 Chapter 1 In chapter 6 we report the detailed clinical and biochemical presentation of a newly diagnosed patient with TALDO deficiency. As more patients are diagnosed, the clinical and biochemical phenotype of this disorder becomes more characterized and an overview is given in this chapter of all patients diagnosed together with the characteristics of the liver pathology. Little is known about the function of sedoheptulose and sedoheptulose-7P. Sedoheptulose-7P is one of the intermediates of the PPP and sedoheptulose and sedoheptulose-7P both accumulate in TALDO deficiency (chapter 2, 4-6). In chapter 7 we showed that patients with cystinosis caused by the common 57-kb deletion in the CTNS (cystinosin) gene excrete increased amounts of sedoheptulose in their urine. This 57-kb deletion also includes an adjacent gene CARKL. The CARKL gene encodes a protein that was predicted to function as a carbohydrate kinase.

Hereditary galactokinase deficiency. A baby with galactokinase deficiency, a recessive inborn error of galactose metabolism, is des- cribed. The case is exceptional in that there was no evidence of gypsy blood in the family concerned. The investigation of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia led to the discovery of galactosuria. As noted by others, the paucity of presenting features makes early diagnosis difficult, and detection by biochemical screening seems desirable. Cataract formation, of early onset, appears to be the only severe persisting complication and may be due to the biosynthesis and accumulation of galactitol in the lens. Ophthalmic surgeons need to be aware of this enzyme defect, because with early diagnosis and dietary treatment these lens changes should be reversible.

Sucrose can be utilized as a major source of energy. Sucrose includes sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, maple sugar pineapple, ripe fruits and honey Corn syrup is recognized as high fructose corn syrup which gives the impression that it is very rich in fructose content but the difference between the fructose content in sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is only 5-10%. HFCS is rich in fructose because the sucrose extracted from the corn syrup is treated with the enzyme that converts some glucose in fructose which makes it more sweet.

  • RESPIRATION Pentose Phosphate Pathway Or Hexose Monophosphate Pathway
    RESPIRATION Pentose Phosphate Pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Pathway Pentose phosphate pathway or hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP pathway) is the other common pathway to break down glucose to pyruvate and operates in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This pathway produces NADPH, which carries chemical energy in the form of reducing power and is used almost universally as the reductant in anabolic (energy utilization) pathways (e.g., fatty acid biosynthesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, nucleotide biosynthesis) and detoxification pathways (e.g., reduction of oxidized glutathione, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases). Also, the pentose phosphate pathway generates pentose sugar ribose and its derivatives, which are necessary for the biosynthesis of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as well as ATP, NADH, FAD, and coenzyme A. In this way, though the pentose phosphate pathway may be a source of energy in many microorganisms, it is more often of greater importance in various biosynthetic pathways. Pentose phosphate pathway consists of two phases: the oxidative phase and the non-oxidative phase. Oxidative Phase: The oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway initiates with the conversion of glucose 6- phosphate to 6-Phosphogluconate. NADP+ is the electron acceptor yielding NADPH during this reaction. 6-Phosphogluconate, a six-carbon sugar, is then oxidativelydecarboxylated to yield ribulose 5-phosphate, a five-carbon sugar. NADP+ is again the electron acceptor yielding NADPH. In the final step of oxidative phase, there is isomerisation of ribulose 5-phosphatc to ribose 5- phosphate by phosphopentose isomerase and the conversion of ribulose 5-phosphate into its epimerxylulose 5-phosphate by phosphopentose epimerase for the transketolase reaction in non- oxidative phase.

The lens opacification may occur early or later in life, and may be isolated or associated to particular syndromes. We describe some of these metabolic conditions associated with cataract formation, and in particular we report our experience with a patient affected by lathosterolosis that presented bilateral cataracts. Methods: Our patient was a 7-years-old little girl diagnosed with lathosterolosis at age 2 years, through gas cromatography/mass spectrometry method for plasma sterol profile that revealed a peak corresponding to cholest- 7-en-3β-ol (lathosterol). Results: The lens samples obtained during surgical removal with B-MICS technique were sent to the Department of Pathology and routinely processed and stained with haematoxylin-eosin and PAS; then, they were examined under a light microscope. Histological examination revealed lens fragments with the presence of fibers disposed in a honeycomb way, samples characterized by the presence of homogeneous eosinophilic lens fibers, and other fragments characterized by bulgy elements referable to cortical fibers with degenerative characteristics.

MURILA SUMMARY Galactosaemia is a disorder of galactose metabolism in which raised levels of galactose and galactose-1-phosphate damage various organs. It is a very rare disease (incidence 1 in 60,000) and the diagnosis is often missed, leading to poor prognosis. A case of clinical galactosaemia that was diagnosed at the age of 11 months is reported. It is important to be aware of this condition as early treatment may prevent some of the complications.
