Glycosylation-independent Lysosomal Targeting of Acid α-Glucosidase Enhances Muscle Glycogen Clearance in Pompe Mice*
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used a peptide-based targeting system to improve lysosomal delivery of acid α-glucosidase (GAA), the enzyme deficient in patients with Pompe disease. Human GAA was fused to the glycosylation-independent lysosomal targeting (GILT) tag, which contains a portion of insulin-like growth factor II, to create an active, chimeric enzyme with high affinity for the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. GILT-tagged GAA was taken up by L6 myoblasts about 25-fold more efficiently than was recombinant human GAA (rhGAA). Once delivered to the lysosome, the mature form of GILT-tagged GAA was indistinguishable from rhGAA and persisted with a half-life indistinguishable from rhGAA. GILT-tagged GAA was significantly more effective than rhGAA in clearing glycogen from numerous skeletal muscle tissues in the Pompe mouse model. The GILT-tagged GAA enzyme may provide an improved enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease patients.

Golgi glycosylation defect in Pompe iPSC-cardiomyocytes
Background: How the absence of lysosomal enzyme acid α-glucosidase causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Pompe disease is unknown. Results: Pompe patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes have normal autophagic and contractile function, but exhibit a deficit of golgi-based protein glycosylation. Conclusions: Loss of lysosomal glycogen hydrolyzing ability results in protein gl...

Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II) is a glycogen storage disease caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, acid maltase/acid alpha-1,4 glucosidase (GAA). Deficiency of the enzyme leads primarily to intra-lysosomal glycogen accumulation, primarily in cardiac and skeletal muscles, due to the inability of converting glycogen into glucose. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has be...

Pompe disease is a lysosomal storage disorder associated with systemic deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA). Respiratory-related problems in Pompe disease include hypoventilation and upper airway dysfunction. Although these problems have generally been attributed to muscular pathology, recent work has highlighted the potential role of central nervous system (CNS) neuropathology in Pompe motor...
متن کاملClinical features of Pompe disease
Glycogen storage disease type II - also called Pompe disease or acid maltase deficiency - is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, caused by an accumulation of glycogen in the lysosome due to deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme. Pompe disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the acid α-glucosidase (GAA), lo...
