CONTEXT: Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) deficiency is a rare genetic disease that leads to severe global developmental delay. MCT8 facilitates thyroid hormone (TH) transport across the cell membrane, and the serum TH profile is characterized by high T3 and low T4 levels. Recent studies have shown that the chemical chaperone sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) restored mutant MCT8 function and increased TH content in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells, making it a potential treatment for MCT8 deficiency.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB) in MCT8 deficiency.
METHODS: We treated two monozygotic twins aged 14.5 years with MCT8 deficiency due to P321L mutation with escalating doses of GPB over 13 months. We recorded TH, Vital signs, anthropometric measurements and neurocognitive functions. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured by indirect calorimetry. Serum metabolites of GPB were monitored as a safety measure. In-vitro effects of NaPB were evaluated in MDCK1 cells stably expressing the MCT8P321L mutation. The effects of GPB were compared to the effects of DITPA and TRIAC, thyromimetic medications that the patients received in the past.
RESULTS: NaPB restored mutant MCT8 expression in MDCK1 cells and increased T3 transport into cells carrying the P321L mutation. GPB treatment reduced high T3 and increased low T4 levels. The patients showed a significant weight gain simultaneously with a reduction in RMR. Only minor neuro-cognitive improvement was observed, in hyperreflexia score and in cognitive functions. Serum metabolites did not exceed the toxic range but elevated liver transaminases were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: In the first report of GPB treatment in MCT8 deficiency we found an improvement in TH profile and body-mass index, with minor neuro-developmental changes.
