Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a compound selected from a polynucleotide coding for the glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE), a vector and a host cell genetically engineered so as to express the GDE enzyme.
  • GDE glycogen debranching enzyme
  • the present invention further relates to the use of the compound for the treatment of a glycogenosis (GSD), preferably GSDIII.
  • Glycogenoses are a group of at least fifteen rare metabolic diseases due to alterations of enzymes that act at different levels of the metabolic pathway of glycogen degradation.
  • Glycogen represents a storage form of sugars that the body uses according to need to release glucose in order to maintain blood glucose at normal levels during fasting and/or for energy purposes for muscular contraction.
  • An accumulation of glycogen in tissues causes severe alterations, mainly in the liver, in muscles and in other organs.
  • glycogenosis type III (GSDIII, or Cori or Forbes disease), is an ultra rare disease, with an estimated prevalence of about ⁇ 1 out of 80,000-100,000 born, due to the absence of the glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE).
  • GDE glycogen debranching enzyme
  • GDE is a cytoplasmic monomeric protein with two distinct catalytic activities: it contains a transferase domain and a glucosidase domain.
  • the lack or an alteration of the activity of the GDE enzyme leads to abnormal glycogen with shorter chains (called p hosphorylase-limit dextrin, PLD) which accumulates in skeletal and/or heart muscle and/or in the liver.
  • PLD p hosphorylase-limit dextrin
  • the disease manifests itself a few months after birth or during childhood with an enlargement of the liver, hypoglycaemia and retarded growth.
  • the muscles generally weaken starting from the second-third decade of life and, in addition to muscle hypotonia, some affected individuals can develop a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy over time.
  • the symptoms present themselves with a highly variable severity.
  • the disease is caused by mutations of the “AGL” ( amylo-1,6 - glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase) gene, which codes for the GDE enzyme, and is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner: it is necessary that both genes, of paternal and maternal origin, lead to a pathological change in the sequence in order for the disease to manifest itself.
  • the parents are therefore healthy carriers.
  • ERT Enzyme replacement therapy
  • the cDNA of the AGL gene was divided into two parts (with an overlapping region) and it was necessary to introduce a step of a homologous recombination process, which partly nullifies the advantage of the high transfection efficiency of the viral vector.
