Disappearance of lysosomal storage in spleen and liver of
mucopolysaccharidosis VII mice after transplantation of genetically
modified bone marrow cells

Mice homozygous for the gusmps allele lack beta-glucuronidase activity and
provide a useful model for human Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII),
also known as Sly syndrome. Bone marrow (BM) transplantation was shown to
correct the metabolic defect and to increase the life span of diseased
animals. We have used this murine model in a preclinical study aimed at
evaluating whether the techniques currently available for gene transfer
into large mammalian and human BM cells will provide efficient enzyme
replacement therapy in MPS patients. Autologous BM was transplanted into
deficient mice after retrovirus-mediated transfer of the human
beta-glucuronidase cDNA. Conditioning of recipients was performed by a
single sublethal irradiation of 4.5 Gy, giving rise to low donor
engraftment. In recipient mice analyzed until 145 days after gene transfer,
the percentage of genetically modified hematopoietic cells was less than
5%. Nevertheless, beta-glucuronidase enzyme activity was detectable in
various organs, including the brain, and disappearance of lysosomal storage
was obvious in the liver and spleen. These results show that the autologous
transplantation of genetically engineered BM cells could be beneficial in
MPS patients.
