Aav Gene Therapy For Mps Iva With Induction Of Immune Tolerance Via Oral Administration Of Epitope Peptides Of N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-Sulfate Sulfatase, Sampurna Saikia, Yasuhiko Ago, Fnu Nidhi, Shaukat Khan, Zhengyu Ma, Shunji Tomatsu

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is caused by the accumulation of undegraded glycosaminoglycans due to the deficiency of the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme. MPS IVA manifests as progressive systemic skeletal dysplasia. Gene therapy (GT) is potentially a one-time treatment in which the enzyme is continuously produced, circulated, and delivered to target tissues. However, immune responses to gene products can diminish therapeutic efficacy. We hypothesized that oral delivery of tolerogenic peptides induces immune tolerance to human GALNS (hGALNS) in MPS IVA mice, enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Neonatal mice deficient in mouse GALNS (mGALNS) were treated orally with three T-cell/B-cell epitope peptides or hGALNS …
