Abstract

제1형 고셔병(Gaucher disease type 1)은 리소좀 효소인 산성 ${\beta}$-글루코시다아제(acid ${\beta}-glucosidase$)의 결핍으로 인한 리소솜 축적 질환이다. 효소 활성도가 감소되어 기질이 축적되어, 간비종대, 빈혈, 혈소판감소증 및 골질환을 포함한 전신 증상이 발생한다. 재조합 효소 단백을 정맥 주입하는 효소 대체요법(Enzyme replacement therapy)는 지난 20년 넘게 고셔병의 표준 치료법이었다. 그러나 성공적인 효소 대체요법에도 불구하고, 심각한 폐증상과 골격 증상 등 고셔병 치료에 여전히 해결되지 않는 문제들이 남아 있다. 기질 감소 치료(Substrate reduction therapy)는 기질의 생합성을 억제하여 축적을 감소시킨다. 최근 새로운 경구용 기질감소 치료제인 엘리글루스타트(eliglustat)가 적합한 CYP2D6 대사 표현형을 가진 고셔병 성인 환자를 위한 1차 치료제로 미국과 유럽에서 승인되었다. 엘리글루스타트가 아직 한국에서는 쓰이지 않고 있지만, 본 종설에서는 문헌 검토를 통해 고셔병의 새로운 치료로서의 효소 대체요법을 소개하고자 한다. 아직 확고한 결론을 도출하기에는 연구 결과가 제한적이기는 하지만, 현재까지의 데이터에 따르면 엘리글루스타트는 임상 효능에 있어서 효소 보충 요법에 비열등성을 보인다. 장기 결과에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하지만, 엘리글루스타트의 승인은 해당 1형 고셔병 성인 환자들에게 경구 치료제라는 새로운 선택을 가능하게 하였다. 향후 국내에서 엘리글루스타트가 처방 가능해 지면, 각 환자 마다 철저한 평가를 통해 치료법을 선택할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다. 나아가, 국내 1형 고셔병 환자들을 위해 엘리글루스타트의 사용에 관한 임상적 지침 또한 조만간 개발될 필요가 있다.
