Pompe disease is a genetic disorder that can be corrected through gene therapy, but substantial transduction of liver cells is required. Research has found that a dose of 2 x 10(11) vg/kg can transduce all hepatocytes and achieve partial correction.
Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), resulting in skeletal muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. Muscle weakness progresses despite currently available therapy, which has prompted the development of gene therapy with adeno-associated virus (AAV) type 2 vectors cross-packaged as AAV8 (2/8). Preclinical studies of gene therapy demonstrated that the minimum effective dose (MED) for biochemical correction with AAV2/8-LSPhGAA was similar to 2 x 10(11) vector genomes (vg)/kg body weight. The current study examined the transduction of AAV2/8-LSPeGFP vector in adult GAA-KO mice with Pompe disease, and correlated that degree of transduction with the biochemical correction achieved by the same dose of AAV2/8-LSPhGAA. The MED was found to be similar to 2 x 10(11) vg/kg, with all hepatocytes variably transducing at this dose. At this dose, liver GAA significantly increased, while liver glycogen significantly decreased. The 2 x 10(11) vg/kg dose was sufficient to significantly decrease diaphragm glycogen.However, the heart, diaphragm, and quadriceps all required a fourfold higher dose to achieve correction of GAA deficiency in association with significant clearance of stored glycogen, which correlated with increased serum GAA activity. These data indicate that AAV2/8-LSPeGFP transduced all hepatocytes when the 2 x 10(11) vg/kg dose was administered, which correlated with partial biochemical correction from the equivalent dose of AAV2/8-LSPhGAA. Altogether, these data support the conclusion that substantial transduction of the liver is required to achieve biochemical correction from AAV2/8-LSPhGAA.
