INTRODUCTION
Gaucher disease (GD) is a glycosphingolipid disorder, B) Results on the GBA activiy of iminosugar-treated
caused by deficiency of lysosomal acid β-glucosidase (GBA), enzymes:
resulting in progressive accumulation of glucosylceramide in
macrophages of liver, spleen, bone marrow and, sometimes,
central nervous system. It has been reported that some
iminosugar compounds are able to work as chemical
chaperones, at subinhibitor concentrations, and increase the

MATERIAL AND METHODS
COS-7 cells have been transfected with the pcDNA3
expression vector carrying the wild-type or the mutated
cDNAs.
CONCLUSIONS
Stable transfected cells, selected with geneticin, were treated
-The residual enzymatic activities, given as percentage of

RESULTS 16.46%, L444P: 2.42%, [N188S;E326K]: 12.78% and
[H255Q;D409H]: 16.05%.
A) Eleven different mutated alleles have been studied.
Results on the GBA activity of mutated enzymes are
indicated in the figure below. - The preliminary results obtained after treating the cells for 6
days with NN-DNJ show an increase of enzymatic activity of
