This study is a 24-month open label, prospective, randomized trial in 16 MPS I patients age six years or older who have documented evidence of cognitive decline. The study will test the safety and efficacy of intrathecal recombinant human alpha-L iduronidase (rhIDU) to reduce or stabilize cognitive decline by assessing the subjects at baseline with neuropsychological, clinical, radiological, and biochemical evaluations and then monitoring the change in these parameters during a regimen of first monthly, then quarterly, intrathecal treatments with rhIDU. The clinical safety of the regimen will be assessed by monitoring of adverse events, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) laboratory assessments, and clinical evaluations.. Subjects will be randomized to a treatment or a control group for 12 months, following which all subjects will receive 12 months of active treatment. During the first 12 months, the control group will receive similar study assessments but will be unblinded with no placebo administered. ...
At ARVO, we always expect to see plenty of new studies in the area of corneal trauma, infl ammation and wound healing. This year did not disappoint. Progress in gene-based therapy for inherited disease was demonstrated in a study of corneal clouding associated with MPS1, a condition known historically as Hurlers syndrome. (Hirsch M, et al. ARVO E-Abstract 260) The syndrome is due to a genetic defect in iduronidase α-L, a key enzyme in glycosoaminoglycan metabolism. The study tested a viral-based expression of a replacement for IDUA in patient fi broblasts, mouse cornea and human cornea. The goal was to optimize the adeno-associated viral vector for corneal expression of IDUA, and that was demonstrated in all three test tissues. Stromal injections of optimized constructs into wild-type human corneas ex vivo yielded robust expression of the viral IDUA, providing hope for therapeutic intervention for corneal clouding in children with MPS1 and other varients of mucopolysacharrideassociated ...

Laronidase is a medicine available in a number of countries worldwide. A list of US medications equivalent to Laronidase is available on the Drugs.com website.
The definitive diagnosis is made after assaying for alpha-L-iduronidase activity in leukocytes, cultured skin fibroblasts, or serum. This is markedly deficient in affected patients with less than 1 percent of normal activity measured. This can also be done by culturing chorionic villi or amniocytes during prenatal testing. The level of enzyme deficiency does not directly correlate with disease severity, indicating that there is still a lot to learn about the diseases caused by this deficient enzyme. A genetic mutation analysis is available but reserved for carrier detection as it is expensive and there are numerous potential point mutations that can cause the deficiency. This test has limited usefulness as the established mutations constitute only a fraction of known cases. Early diagnosis remains the key to preventing the irreversible damage.. As in most genetic diseases, there is more than one mutation that can lead to disease expression. In fact, for this disorder, there are more than 50 ...
A typical strategy to combat this deficiency is to generate the enzyme using cell cultures and then administer it to patients in a process called enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). However, ERT is costly and not always effective.. But Kermode and Clarke have found that by using plants as hosts to produce the iduronidase enzyme, they can stimulate enzyme production rapidly and in a more cost-effective manner. In addition, the plant cells are not subject to contamination from pathogens that affect humans, making them safer.. The prospect of creating a therapeutic enzyme for ERT administration in patients is reaching a fruitful stage, where we are starting to look at therapeutic efficacy. Once completed, we can begin to scale up the purification of our enzyme target and develop the means to get it into clinical trials, Kermode adds.. Early detection of the disease is critical to impacting outcomes for patients, and so newborn screening is also essential. We are at an exciting phase where we can ...

Information and tools to detect signs and symptoms of mucopolysaccharidosis type I, also known as Hurler syndrome, in children. MPS I causes progressive and multi-system organ damage.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a genetic disease caused by the deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) activity. MPS I is classified into three clinical phenotypes called Hurler, Scheie, and Hurler-Scheie syndromes according to their clinical severity. Treatments for MPS I are available. Better outcomes are associated with early treatment, which suggests a need for newborn screening for MPS I. The goal of this study was to determine whether measuring IDUA activity in dried blood on filter paper was effective in newborn screening for MPS I. We conducted a newborn screening pilot program for MPS I from October 01, 2008 to April 30, 2013. Screening involved measuring IDUA activity in dried blood spots from 35,285 newborns using a fluorometric assay. Of the 35,285 newborns screened, 19 did not pass the tests and had been noticed for a recall examination. After completing further recheck process, 3 were recalled again for leukocyte IDUA enzyme activity testing. Two of the three had deficient leukocyte

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 alpha-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 (35)SO(4) 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 ...
Hurler syndrome, also called mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I), is a genetic disorder leading to the glycosaminoglycans buildup because of a alpha-L iduronidase deficiency. This is the forum for discussing anything related to this health condition
Failure to Diagnose Mucopolysaccharidosis I including overlooked symptoms and complications for under-diagnosed medical conditions.
Results and discussion The oral and dental findings of MPS I include hyperplastic gingiva, macroglossia, high-arched palate, short mandibular rami with abnormal condyles, spaced hypoplastic peg-shaped teeth with retarded eruption; and localised dentigerous cyst-like radiolucencies. Guven et al.(Jan 2008) have investigated the ultra structural and chemical properties of MPS I (Hurler) teeth. The dentin of the primary teeth was characterised by extremely narrow dentinal tubules with an irregular wave-like pattern. The enamel-dentin junction was poorly shaped, micro gaps occurred and the enamel displayed an irregular arrangement of prisms. The enamel and the dentin had an abnormal protein structure and the dentin protein content was low.. The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are prominent among the lysosomal storage diseases. The intra-lysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in this group of diseases induces a cascade of responses affecting cellular functions and maintenance of the ...
Hurler syndrome is caused by a variation in the IDUA gene, which contains the instructions for the production of a specific enzyme known as alpha-L-iduronidase. This specialized protein is normally found in the lysosomes of cells, where it helps to break down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Genetic variations in the IDUA gene result in a deficiency or a complete absence of alpha-L-iduronidase, which in turn results in an abnormal accumulation of GAGs in the bodys cells.. This condition is genetic and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that an affected child has received one defective copy of the IDUA from each parent.. ...
AMORIN, Milagros; CARLIN, Andrea and PROTZEL, Ana. Mucopolysaccharidosis I, Hurler syndrome: A case report. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2012, vol.110, n.5, pp. e103-e106. ISSN 0325-0075.. Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare, recessively inherited, lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency on the enzyme a-L-iduronidase. This defect results in accumulation of heparan and dermatan sulfate in different tissues and organs due to a deficiency in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans. The overall incidence of MPS I is 0.99-1.99/100.000 live births. There are three clinical presentations: Hurler (severe), Hurler Scheie (mild) and Scheie (mild). We report the case of a 10-years-old male patient diagnosed with Hurler syndrome, the severe presentation, 5 years ago by enzyme a-L-iduronidase activity measurement in leukocytes; with a history of recurrent respiratory infections, umbilical hernia, corneal opacity, coarse facial features, macroglossia, hearing loss, stiffness of joints, cardiac ...

Another member of the genera retroviridae commonly studied in gene therapy is the amphotropic MLV-based retrovirus (Romano et al. 1999; Shinnick et al. 1981; Weiss 1998; Weiss and Wrangham 1999). MLV-based retroviral vectors contain a single-stranded, linear, positive-sense RNA molecule of approximately 8000 nucle-otides. In some studies in utero, MLV-based retroviral vectors have been pseudo-typed with VSV-G envelope proteins (Tarantal et al. 2001). MLV-based retroviral vectors infect dividing cells and integrate into the host cell genome providing the rationale that MLV-based retroviral vectors could offer permanent gene replacement in utero (Miller et al. 1990). While studies have shown short term expression in canine mucopolysaccharidosis Type I animal models, they have not demonstrated long term gene expression and transgene integration into the germ line (Meertens et al. 2002).. Relatively few retroviral in utero studies transducing muscle tissues have been performed. One study showed ...
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare genetic diseases caused by the deficiency of one of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) breakdown pathway. This metabolic block leads to the accumulation of GAG in various organs and tissues of the affected patients, resulting in a multisystemic clinical picture, sometimes including cognitive impairment. Until the beginning of the XXI century, treatment was mainly supportive. Bone marrow transplantation improved the natural course of the disease in some types of MPS, but the morbidity and mortality restricted its use to selected cases. The identification of the genes involved, the new molecular biology tools and the availability of animal models made it possible to develop specific enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) for these diseases. At present, a great number of Brazilian medical centers from all regions of the country have experience with ERT for MPS I, II, and VI, acquired not only through patient treatment but also in clinical ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) (EC 3.2.1.76); enzyme replacement therapy is the conventional treatment for this genetic disease. Arabidopsis cgl mutants are characterized by a deficiency of the activity of N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase I (EC 2.4.1.101), the first enzyme in the pathway of hybrid and complex N-glycan biosynthesis. To develop a seed-based platform for the production of recombinant IDUA for potential treatment of MPS I, cgl mutant seeds were generated to express human IDUA at high yields and to avoid maturation of the N-linked glycans on the recombinant human enzyme. Enzyme kinetic data showed that cgl-IDUA has similar enzymatic properties to the commercial recombinant IDUA derived from cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (AldurazymeTM). The N-glycan profile showed that cgl-derived IDUA contained predominantly high-mannose-type N-glycans (94.5%), and the residual complex/hybrid ...

In Paper I, using four congenic sub-loci within the arthritis susceptible Cia9 locus on chromosome 1, we found that the NOD.Q polymorphic Fc gamma receptor gene (FcγR) cluster located within sub-loci Cia9i and Cia9k, regulated arthritis. Polymorphic FcγR2b and FcγR4 were contained in both Cia9i and Cia9k, whereas Cia9i mice also carried polymorphic FcγR3. FcγR2b gene and protein expression were downregulated in Cia9i and Cia9k mice, whereas FcγR3 was upregulated in Cia9i mice and found downregulated in Cia9k mice compared to littermate control mice. This difference in FcγR3 expression affected killing by NK cells and phagocytosis by macrophages in vitro and PC61 antibody induced regulatory T cell depletion in vivo. Interestingly, arthritis development was regulated by interaction between FcγR2b and FcγR3 without affecting anti-collagen type II antibody secretion. These results show that polymorphisms in both FcγR2b and FcγR3 regulate the severity of inflammatory responses ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is the most common form of the MPS group of genetic diseases. MPS I results from a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme α-l-iduronidase, leading to accumulation of undegraded heparan and dermatan sulphate glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains in patient cells. MPS children suffer from multiple organ failure and die in their teens to early twenties. In particular, MPS I children also suffer from profound mental retardation and skeletal disease that restricts growth and movement. Neither brain nor skeletal disease is adequately treated by current therapy approaches. To overcome these barriers to effective therapy we have developed and tested a treatment called substrate deprivation therapy (SDT). MPS I knockout mice were treated with weekly intravenous injections of 1 mg/kg rhodamine B for six months to assess the efficacy of SDT. Mice were assessed using biochemistry, micro-CT and a battery of behaviour tests to determine the outcome of treatment. A reduction in female
Mucopolysaccharidosis type-I (MPS-I) is caused by the deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) that results in glycosaminoglycan accumulation in tissues. The available treatments are enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation. An alternative therapeutic option is ex vivo hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy and preclinical studies performed in mice demonstrated the efficacy of this approach based on lentiviral vectors in the absence of pre-existing anti-IDUA immunity. However, several MPS-I patients develop anti-IDUA immunity after enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), thus pre-existing immune response may jeopardize ex vivo HSC gene therapy efficacy. To study the impact of pre-existing anti-IDUA immunity on gene corrected HSC engraftment in enzyme pre-treated and immunized mice, we optimize an artificial immunization protocol in MPS-I mice to mimic the effect of ERT in patients. We demonstrate that engraftment of IDUA-corrected HSCs is ...

Seventeen of eighteen patients with the Hurler syndrome demomstrated a characteristic, perhaps pathognomonic, accumulation of mucopolysaccharide granules in their bone marrow. These can be easily recognized by conventional hematologic techniques for preparation and staining of bone marrow. Since large amounts of bone marrow material can be obtained, bone marrow aspirates could conceivably provide an accessible source of tissue mucopolysaccharide for analysis and study. Reilly bodies are so infrequently found that we feel their importance as a diagnostic feature has been overemphasized.. ...

Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a growth factor involved in neurodevelopment and plasticity. It is a schizophrenia candidate gene, and hippocampal expression of the NRG1 type I isoform is increased in the disorder. We have studied transgenic mice overexpressing NRG1 type I (NRG1(tg-type I)) and their wild-type littermates and measured hippocampal electrophysiological and behavioral phenotypes. Young NRG1(tg-type I) mice showed normal memory performance, but in older NRG1(tg-type I) mice, hippocampus-dependent spatial working memory was selectively impaired. Hippocampal slice preparations from NRG1(tg-type I) mice exhibited a reduced frequency of carbachol-induced gamma oscillations and an increased tendency to epileptiform activity. Long-term potentiation in NRG1(tg-type I) mice was normal. The results provide evidence that NRG1 type I impacts on hippocampal function and circuitry. The effects are likely mediated via inhibitory interneurons and may be relevant to the involvement of NRG1 in schizophrenia. However
