Abstract

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is caused by deficient alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, the human peroxisomal enzyme that detoxifies glyoxylate. Glycolate is one of the best-known substrates leading to glyoxylate production, via peroxisomal glycolate oxidase (GO). Using genetically modified mice, we herein report GO as a safe and efficient target for substrate reduction therapy (SRT) in PH1. We first generated a GO-deficient mouse (Hao1(-/-)) that presented high urine glycolate levels but no additional phenotype. Next, we produced double KO mice (Agxt1(-/-) Hao1(-/-)) that showed low levels of oxalate excretion compared with hyperoxaluric mice model (Agxt1(-/-)). Previous studies have identified some GO inhibitors, such as 4-carboxy-5-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-1,2,3-thiadiazole (CCPST). We herein report that CCPST inhibits GO in Agxt1(-/-) hepatocytes and significantly reduces their oxalate production, starting at 25 µM. We also tested the ability of orally administered CCPST to reduce oxalate excretion in Agxt1(-/-) mice, showing that 30-50% reduction in urine oxalate can be achieved. In summary, we present proof-of-concept evidence for SRT in PH1. These encouraging results should be followed by a medicinal chemistry programme that might yield more potent GO inhibitors and eventually could result in a pharmacological treatment for this rare and severe inborn error of metabolism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
