Patients with the DMC syndrome have been suggested to possess a specific sulfatase abnormality and/or to be deficient in a proteinase cleaving glycoprotein-acid mucopolysaccharide (AMP) linkage. We have previously found in DMC patients an abnormal excretion of urinary AMPs of which hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate (A + C) were oversulfated and keratosulfate and heparan sulfate were undersulfated. Lysosomal acid proteinase, i.e. cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5) and neutral proteinase : elastase (EC 3.4.21.11) and cathepsin G were found to be normal in DMC patients. However, alpha 2-macroglobulin in serum was raised. This increase may be associated with a complex formation of alpha 2-macroglobulin with a neutral proteinase released from the cells. Increased levels of chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase and sulfamidase and decreased enzymic levels of arylsulfatase A and B (EC 3.1.6.1) were found in leucocytes of DMC patients. The sulfatase activities assayed in the present study support our theory that a specific sulfatase abnormality may exist in the DMC syndrome.

The net percentage of release of arylsulfatase activity from purified rat mast cells induced by rabbit anti-rat F(ab')2 was consistently only about 1/3 that of histamine. Isoelectric focusing of the released and residual arylsulfatase activities demonstrated specific release of the A type without B and a net percentage of immunologic release of arylsulfatase A equivalent to that of histamine. When the net percentage of histamine and arylsulfatase A release were nearly maximal (88 and 76%) in response to the calcium ionophore A23187, specific release of arylsulfatase B did not occur. Thus, arylsulfatase A and not B was associated with the secretory granule released from the rat mast cell by reversed anaphylaxis or the calcium ionophore. In contrast, subcellular fractionation of water-lysed mast cells yielded arylsulfatase B with the heparin- and chymase-containing granule fraction and arylsulfatase A in the aqueous fraction comprised of cell sap and granule water eluate. It may be that arylsulfatase B resides in a minor second granule, whereas arylsulfatase A is loosely associated with the predominant secretory granule of the rat mast cell.

Arylsulfatases A, B, and C, beta-galactosidase, and acid phosphatase were assayed in neuronal, astroglial, and oligodendroglial fractions isolated from adult rabbit and beef brains. The specific activities of all acid hydrolases were lower in beef cells compared to rabbit cells. The lysosomal enzymes of the rabbit neuronal fraction showed 10--25 time higher activities than the oligodendroglial fraction and 5-fold higher activities than the astroglial fraction. In beef brain, the specific activities of these enzymes were similar in oligodendroglia and astrocytes but 4--10 times lower than in neurons. The low activity of arylsulfatase A and beta-galactosidase in oligodendroglial cells may suggest that the low turnover of cerebroside and sulfatide in myelin may be regulated in part by the enzymes that catalyze their degradation.

The segregation of human lysosomal arylsulfatase A (ARS-A) has been evaluated in 50 primary hybrid clones derived from four separate fusions involving WBCs from two unrelated individuals and three hamster cell lines. ARS-A was expressed in the hybrids as a dimeric molecule of very similar or identical subunits. The expression of this enzyme was concordant with that of mitochondrial aconitase (ACON-M), an isozyme assigned to chromosome 22, in all 50 clones and with chromosome 22 segregation in all but one of the 29 karyotyped hybrids. No other human chromosome cosegregated with 22 in these clones, suggesting that this enzyme is specified in hybrid cells by a locus (or loci) on a single chromosome. beta-Galactosidase (B-GAL) expression was analyzed with two different electrophoresis systems and with a number of cell extract preparation methods in 39 of the primary hybrid clones. The B-GAL isozyme expressed in these hybrid cells was concordant with the expression of glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX-1), an isozyme assigned to chromosome 3, in all 39 clones and with the segregation of this chromosome in 97% of the 29 karyotyped hybrids. These observations substantiate the prior tentative assignments of an ARS-A locus to chromosome 22 and a B-GAL locus to chromosome 3 (Bruns et al., 1978a, b). The implications of the chromosome assignments of loci for 12 human lysosomal enzymes for the cellular assembly of these organelles are discussed.

Diphosphonates are known to inhibit bone resorption in tissue culture and in experimental animals. This effect may be due to their ability to inhibit the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals, but other mechanisms may be important. Since lysosomal enzymes have implicated in the process of bone resorption, we have examined the effect of several phosphonates and of a polyphosphate (P20,2) on lysosomal hydrolases derived from rat liver and rat bone. Dichloromethylene diphosphonate strongly inhibited acid beta-glycerophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and to a lesser degree (in descending order) acid pyrophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.-), arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.1), deoxyribonuclease II(EC 3.1.4.6) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) of rat liver. Inhibition of acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and arylsulfatase A was competitive. Ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate did not inhibit any of these enzymes, except at high concentrations. Neither dichloromethylene diphosphonate nor ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate had any effect on beta-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31), arylesterase (EC 3.1.1.2) and cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5). Of several other phosphonates tested only undec-10-ene-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonic acid inhibited acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase strongly, the polyphosphate (P20, I) had little effect. Acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase in rat calvaria extract behaved in the same way as the liver enzyme and was also strongly inhibited by dichloromethylene diphosphonate, but not by ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate. It is suggested that the inhibition of bone resorption by dichloromethylene diphosphonate might be due in part to a direct effect of this diphosphonate on lysosomal hydrolases.

In a 13-year-old neurologically healthy boy from a family with adult-onset of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) showing arylsulfatase A-deficiency in the adult, sural nerve biopsy probably was performed 2-3 decades before clinical manifestation of the disease could be expected. Ultrastructurally 4 basic types of inclusion bodies in Schwann cells could be demonstrated (pleo-morphic "zebra body"-like inclusions, double-lamellated inclusions, "tuff-stone"-like inclusions, granular osmiophilic inclusions). Additionally, endoplasmatic reticulum, mitochondria and lysosomes showed marked alterations. Advanced damage of myelin was only rarely seen, but initial segmental demyelination was a common finding. These early pathological changes in chronic MLD are thought to represent a subcellular metabolic insufficiency of Schwann cells in this disease.

In a family with a metachromatic leukodystrophy patient, two further pregnancies at risk were monitored by amnion cell culture. In one case, a normal baby was predicted and born. In the other case, a prenatal deficiency of arylsulfatase A was found. The diagnosis of metachromatic leukodystrophy was confirmed biochemically in various organs of the fetus by the deficiency of arylsulfatase A. The residual enzyme activity was shown to have an abnormal pH optimum and an increased heat stability. Ultrastructural studies revealed lipid storage in the myelinating nervous system and in the liver. For the interpretation of morphological results, it was indispensable to analyze an age-matched control fetus.

A simple and rapid method for the purification of arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.1) from sheep brain has been developed. This includes the concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography and the pH-dependent polymerization and depolymerization of the enzyme. By these methods a homogeneous enzyme was obtained and the enzyme was purified 7180-fold. Sheep brain arylsulfatase A has been shown to be a glycoprotein containing 25% neutral sugar and 0.5% sialic acid. The constituent neutral sugars were identified as glucose and mannose.

Rats were injected with a single intravenous dose of aminonucleoside (AMN) and sacrificed 1-48 h later. The activity of several enzymes was assayed in the Golgi apparatus isolated from the liver. Galactosyltransferase activity showed little changes after the AMN, but both acid (EC 3.1.3.2) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) activities increased within the first hour and reached control levels only 5-24 h later. Thiamine pyrophosphatase and arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.1) activities also increased and stayed at higher levels for the duration of the experiment. Arylsulfatase B (EC 3.1.6.1) activity decreased shortly after the AMN but later increased to above control levels. These findings support earlier results in which liver ultrastructural and biochemical changes were observed early before renal lesions and proteinuria.
