Gaucher disease (GD) leads to accumulation of glucosylceramide (GL1) and its deacylated lysolipid, glucosylsphingosine (lyso-GL1) which is implicated in mediating immune dysregulation and skeletal disease. The aim of our study was to assess plasma Lyso-GL1 as a biomarker of GD and its response to therapy. Plasma lyso-GL1 in 169 patients with GD type 1 (GD1) was measured by LC-MS/MS. Significant predictors of were assessed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Wilcoxon Mann Whitney test and multiple linear regression. Propensity scores were used to match patients on treatment mode: Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) vs Eliglustat Tartrate SRT (ELI-SRT). Lyso-GL1 levels in healthy controls on average was 1.5 ng/ml (1.3 – 1.7; 95% CI). In untreated GD patients, the levels were massively elevated (180.9 ng/ml: 95% CI, 145.4 – 216.5) and ERT resulted in marked reduction (89 ng/ml: 95% CI, 69.2 – 129.4) (p<0.001). Lyso-GL1 correlated with chitotriosidase (r=0.59 p<0.001), CCL18 (r= 0.62 p <0.001), hepatomegaly (r=0.28 p<0.001), splenomegaly (r=0.27 p=0.003), splenectomy (p=0.01) and treatment mode (p<0.001). By multiple linear regression, the strongest predictors of lyso-GL1 were age (p<0.001), splenectomy (p=0.02), Chitotriosidase (p<0.001) and CCL18 levels (p=0.001). After propensity score matching to obtain comparable groups of patients on ERT vs ELI-SRT, lyso-GL1 levels were lower among patients receiving ELI-SRT by 113 ng/ml (95% CI: 136 – 90.3 ng/ml p<0.001). Plasma lyso-GL1 is a key biomarker of GD. ERT reduced lyso-GL1 levels. By propensity scoring, ELI-SRT resulted in greater reduction of lyso-GL1 than ERT.
