Efficacy of two vitamin E formulations in patients with abetalipoproteinemia and chylomicron retention disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) and chylomicron retention disease (CMRD) are extremely rare recessive forms of hypobetalipoproteinemia characterized by intestinal lipid malabsorption and severe vitamin E deficiency. Vitamin E is often supplemented in the form of fat-soluble vitamin E acetate, but fat malabsorption considerably limits correction of the deficiency. In this crossover study, we administered two different forms of vitamin E, tocofersolan (a water-soluble derivative of RRR-α-tocopherol) and α-tocopherol acetate, to three patients with ABL and four patients with CMRD. The aims of this study were to evaluate the intestinal absorption characteristics of tocofersolan versus α-tocopherol acetate by measuring the plasma concentrations of α-tocopherol over time after a single oral load and to compare efficacy by evaluating the ability of each formulation to restore vitamin E storage after 4 months of treatment. In patients with ABL, tocofersolan and α-tocopherol acetate bioavailabilities were extremely low (2.8% and 3.1%, respectively). In contrast, bioavailabilities were higher in patients with CMRD (tocofersolan, 24.7%; α-tocopherol acetate, 11.4%). Plasma concentrations of α-tocopherol at 4 months were not significantly different by formulation type in ABL or CMRD. This study provides new insights about vitamin E status in ABL and CMRD and suggests the potential of different formulations as treatment options.

Hypobetalipoproteinemias (HBLs) represent a heterogeneous group of very rare diseases characterized by reduced plasma levels of LDL-cholesterol and apoB below the fifth age- and sex-specific percentile (1.Tarugi P.

Insights from human congenital disorders of intestinal lipid metabolism.J. Lipid Res. 2015; 56: 945-962Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google Scholar). Familial HBL (MIM 107730), the most frequent monogenic form of HBL with a codominant mode of inheritance, is mainly due to loss-of-function mutations in the APOB gene leading to a defect in the secretion of β-lipoproteins. The extremely rare (less than one in one million) recessive forms of primary monogenic HBL are represented by abetalipoproteinemia (ABL; MIM 200100) and chylomicron retention disease (CMRD; MIM 246700). ABL is due to mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit gene (MTTP), which encodes the MTP protein, the apoB chaperone protein, leading to a defect in apoB lipidation and, consequently, a lack of chylomicrons and VLDL (4.Sharp D. Blinderman L. Combs K.A. Kienzle B. Ricci B. Wager-Smith K. Gil C.M. Turck C.W. Boumas M.E.

Genet. 1993; 2: 2109-2116Crossref PubMed Scopus (227) Google Scholar). CMRD is due to mutations in the SAR1B gene, which encodes the Sar1b protein involved in the control of the intracellular trafficking of chylomicrons in coat protein complex II (COPII)-coated vesicles (6.Jones B. Jones E.L. Bonney S.A. Patel H.N. Mensenkamp A.R. Eichenbaum-Voline S. Rudling M. Myrdal U. Annesi G. Naik S. et al.Mutations in a Sar1 GTPase of COPII vesicles are associated with lipid absorption disorders.Nat. Genet. 2003; 34: 29-31Crossref PubMed Scopus (295) Google Scholar). The clinical phenotype of ABL, CMRD, and homozygous or compound heterozygous familial HBL is usually severe, being characterized by intestinal lipid malabsorption, steatorrhea, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, and “failure to thrive” in the neonatal period (7.Di Filippo M. Moulin P. Roy P. Samson-Bouma M.E. Collardeau-Frachon S. Chebel-Dumont S. Peretti N. Dumortier J. Zoulim F. Fontanges T. et al.Homozygous MTTP and APOB mutations may lead to hepatic steatosis and fibrosis despite metabolic differences in congenital hypocholesterolemia.J. Hepatol. 2014; 61: 891-902Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (86) Google Scholar). Most commonly, cases of ABL and homozygous or compound heterozygous familial HBL are complicated by retinal degeneration and ataxia beginning in the second decade of life if no treatment was initiated (3.Levy E. Insights from human congenital disorders of intestinal lipid metabolism.J. Lipid Res. 2015; 56: 945-962Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google Scholar, 8.Zamel R. Khan R. Pollex R.L. Hegele R.A. Abetalipoproteinemia: two case reports and literature review.Orphanet J. Rare Dis. 2008; 3: 19Crossref PubMed Scopus (136) Google Scholar). Oral α-tocopherol supplementation with high doses (50–200 IU/kg/day) has to be started as early as possible to prevent neurological and retinal disability and halt/abrogate progression of complications associated with this disease (9.Muller D.P. Lloyd J.K. Bird A.C. Long-term management of abetalipoproteinaemia. Possible role for vitamin E.Arch. Dis. Child. 1977; 52: 209-214Crossref PubMed Scopus (103) Google Scholar, 10.Muller D.P. Lloyd J.K. Effect of large oral doses of vitamin E on the neurological sequelae of patients with abetalipoproteinemia.Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 1982; 393: 133-144Crossref PubMed Scopus (76) Google Scholar, 11.Runge P. Muller D.P. McAllister J. Calver D. Lloyd J.K. Taylor D. Oral vitamin E supplements can prevent the retinopathy of abetalipoproteinaemia.Br. J. Ophthalmol. 1986; 70: 166-173Crossref PubMed Scopus (65) Google Scholar). However, despite initiation of vitamin treatment, fundoscopic and retinal changes may appear (12.Chowers I. Banin E. Merin S. Cooper M. Granot E. Long-term assessment of combined vitamin A and E treatment for the prevention of retinal degeneration in abetalipoproteinaemia and hypobetalipoproteinaemia patients.Eye (Lond.). 2001; 15: 525-530Crossref PubMed Scopus (59) Google Scholar). Therefore, finding the most effective form and dose of tocopherol for treatment is of major interest because fat malabsorption considerably limits the correction of deficiencies with standard formulations of fat-soluble vitamins. In clinical nutrition, vitamin E is often supplemented in the form of vitamin E acetate. Tocofersolan, a water-soluble derivative of RRR-α-tocopherol, is a commercially available vitamin E supplement for lipid malabsorption syndromes, including chronic cholestasis and cystic fibrosis (13.Sokol R.J.
