Assessment of stability, toxicity and immunogenicity of new polymeric nanoreactors for use in enzyme replacement therapy of MNGIE.
The lack of a crucial metabolic enzyme can lead to accumulating substrate concentrations in the bloodstream and severe human enzyme deficiency diseases. Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is such a fatal genetic disorder, caused by a thymidine phosphorylase deficiency. Enzyme replacement therapy is a strategy where the deficient enzyme is administered intravenously in...

متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been approved for 6 lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) worldwide including Japan. These diseases include Gaucher disease (GD), Fabry disease, mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I, II, and VI, and Pompe disease (PD). The efficacy and safety of ERT for LSDs has been confirmed by extensive clinical trials. However, there are still obstacles to successful ERT, suc...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Anderson-Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked defect of glycosphingolipid metabolism. Progressive renal insufficiency is a major source of morbidity, additional complications result from cardio- and cerebro-vascular involvement. Survival is reduced among affected males and symptomatic female carriers. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of enzyme replacement therapy compare...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is the most common lysosomal storage disease, and the first lysosomal storage disease for which a specific therapy has been developed. Enzyme replacement therapy, with glucocerebrosidase purified from human placentae, was introduced in 1991. Recombinant human glucocerebrosidase, produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells in tissue culture, became available in 1994 and has replaced ...
