Background: Kidney failure is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (FLD), a rare inherited lipid disorder with no cure. Lipoprotein X (LpX), an abnormal lipoprotein, is primarily accountable for nephrotoxicity. Methods: CER-001 was tested in an FLD patient with dramatic kidney disease for 12 weeks. Results: Infusions of CER-001 normalized the lipoprotein profile, with a disappearance of the abnormal LpX in favour of normal-sized LDL. The worsening of kidney function was slowed by the treatment, and kidney biopsy showed a slight reduction of lipid deposits and a stabilization of the disease. In vitro experiments demonstrate that CER-001 progressively reverts lipid accumulation in podocytes by a dual effect: remodelling plasma lipoproteins and removing LpX-induced lipid deposit. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that CER-001 may represent a therapeutic option in FLD patients. It also has the potential to be beneficial in other renal diseases characterized by kidney lipid deposits.

Abstract
Background: Kidney failure is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (FLD), a rare inherited lipid disorder with no cure. Lipoprotein X (LpX), an abnormal lipoprotein, is primarily accountable for nephrotoxicity. Methods: CER-001 was tested in an FLD patient with dramatic kidney disease for 12 weeks. Results: Infusions of CER-001 normalized the lipoprotein profile, with a disappearance of the abnormal LpX in favour of normal-sized LDL. The worsening of kidney function was slowed by the treatment, and kidney biopsy showed a slight reduction of lipid deposits and a stabilization of the disease. In vitro experiments demonstrate that CER-001 progressively reverts lipid accumulation in podocytes by a dual effect: remodelling plasma lipoproteins and removing LpX-induced lipid deposit. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that CER-001 may represent a therapeutic option in FLD patients. It also has the potential to be beneficial in other renal diseases characterized by kidney lipid deposits.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
