PURPOSE: To develop an effective therapy for treating glycosaminoglycan (GAG) storage in mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII) retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in vitro using adenoviral vector mediated human beta-glucuronidase cDNA (Ad-GUSB) transfer.
METHODS: Ad-GUSB was used to infect RPE at confluency. The transduction condition was optimized varying time of infection and number of infectious particles. The beta-glucuronidase (GUSB) activity was measured in transduced cells and media using a fluorogenic substrate. The GAG profiles were examined by metabolically labeling RPE with (35)Na(2)SO(4).
RESULTS: Transduced RPE, irrespective of species or disease status, expressed a high level of beta-glucuronidase. The expressed enzyme restored normal levels of GAGs in the RPE cells of homozygous affected MPS VII dogs by metabolizing stored GAGs. The over-expressed enzyme (>10 000 nmoles/hr/mg) failed to restore normal level of GAGs. A high level of GUSB expression was maintained in vitro at least nine weeks.
CONCLUSIONS: Adenoviral vector could mediate transfer of GUSB in MPS VII affected RPE and RPE of various species, and the expression was observed to be stable in vitro. However, controlled expression of GUSB was essential for the metabolism of stored GAGs to achieve normal levels.
