Аннотация

INTRODUCTION: Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS-VI) is caused by a deficiency in N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase activity, resulting in lysosomal accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Compressive myelopathy in early-onset MPS-VI patients has been partly attributed to thickening of the dura mater following engorgement with GAG. In this study, we therefore tested whether the dural abnormalities could be prevented in a feline model of the disorder.

RESULTS: All intrathecal injections (IT-INJs) were well tolerated. MPS-VI cats treated with IT-INJ of recombinant human N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (rhASB) exhibited reduced vacuolation in the dural fibroblasts, diminished levels of sulfated-N-acetylhexosamine (HNAc(+S)) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and no hind-limb paresis. Serum anti-rhASB antibodies remained low in MPS-VI cats treated with intravenous enzyme replacement therapy (IV-ERT) and increased slightly in normal cats treated with IT-INJ of rhASB alone. Anti-rhASB antibodies in CSF remained undetectable.

DISCUSSION: These data indicate that repeated IT-INJ of rhASB can safely prevent GAG storage in MPS-VI dura.

METHODS: Cats were assigned to three groups: (i) receiving weekly IV-ERT of rhASB from birth plus six monthly IT-INJs of rhASB from age 2 months; (ii) receiving six monthly IT-INJs of vehicle; or (iii) untreated. Additional normal cats received five fortnightly IT-INJs of rhASB or vehicle alone.
