We have investigated the utility of bone marrow-derived
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as targets for gene therapy of the
autosomal recessive disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type IH (MPS-IH,
Hurler syndrome). Cultures of MSCs were initially exposed to a green fluorescent protein-expressing retrovirus. Green fluorescent
protein-positive cells maintained their proliferative and
differentiation capacity. Next we used a vector encoding
-L-iduronidase (IDUA), the enzyme that is defective in
MPS-IH. Following transduction, MPS-IH MSCs expressed high levels of
IDUA and secreted supernormal levels of this enzyme into the
extracellular medium. Exogenous IDUA expression led to a normalization
of glycosaminoglycan storage in MPS-IH cells, as evidenced by a
dramatic decrease in the amount of 35SO4
sequestered within the heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate compartments of these cells. Finally, gene-modified MSCs were able to
cross-correct the enzyme defect in untransduced MPS-IH fibroblasts via
protein transfer.
