METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR INCREASING N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINIDASE ACTIVITY IN THE CNS
20220127369 · 2022-04-28 ·

Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from an enzyme deficiency in the central nervous system (CNS). The bifunctional fusion antibody provided herein comprise an antibody to an endogenous blood brain barrier (BBB) receptor and an enzyme deficient in mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPS-IIIB). The fusion antibodies provided herein comprise alpha-N-acetylgulcosaminidase (NAGLU). The methods of treating an enzyme deficiency in the CNS comprise systemic administration of a fusion antibody provided herein.

Mutant of alpha-N-Acetylglucosaminidase

The present invention relates to a mutant of human α-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hNAGLU), more specifically a hNAGLU mutant produced by adding a mutation to an amino acid sequence for hNAGLU such that an expression level of hNAGLU in a host cell in which a gene encoding hNAGLU is introduced can be increased compared with the case where a gene encoding wild-type hNAGLU is introduced. For example, the hNAGLU mutant has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 15, or SEQ ID NO: 19, or has an amino acid sequence introduced a mutation to the amino acid sequence of any one of the hNAGLU mutants.

Gene therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB

Provided herein is a recombinant AAV (rAAV) comprising an AAV capsid and a vector genome packaged therein, wherein the vector genome comprises an AAV 5′ inverted terminal repeat (ITR), an engineered nucleic acid sequence encoding a functional human N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase (hNAGLU), a regulatory sequence which direct expression of hNAGLU in a target cell, and an AAV 3′ ITR. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a rAAV as described herein in a formulation buffer, and a method of treating a human subject diagnosed with MPS IIIB.

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CNS DELIVERY OF IDURONATE-2-SULFATASE

The present invention provides, among other things, compositions and methods for CNS delivery of lysosomal enzymes for effective treatment of lysosomal storage diseases. In some embodiments, the present invention includes a stable formulation for direct CNS intrathecal administration comprising an iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) protein, salt, and a polysorbate surfactant for the treatment of Hunters Syndrome.

CNS delivery of therapeutic agents

The present invention provides an effective and less invasive approach for direct delivery of therapeutic agents to the central nervous system (CNS). In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods including a step of administering intrathecally to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a lysosomal storage disease associated with reduced level or activity of a lysosomal enzyme, a composition comprising a replacement enzyme for the lysosomal enzyme.

CLEANING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING DISPERSIN VARIANTS

Cleaning compositions may include novel dispersin variants having improved properties relative to the parent dispersin. Such properties may include one or more of the following; wash performance, stability e.g. detergent and/or storage stability. The cleaning compositions may be suitable for use in cleaning processes and include detergent compositions, such as laundry compositions and dish wash compositions, including hand wash and automatic dish wash compositions.

Therapeutic fusion protein comprising an alpha-n-acetylglucosaminidase and a lysosomal targeting moiety

Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating Sanfilippo syndrome type B (Sanfilippo B) by, e.g., intrathecal (IT) administration of a Naglu protein. A suitable Naglu protein can be a recombinant, gene-activated or natural protein. In some embodiments, a suitable Naglu protein is a recombinant Naglu protein. In some embodiments, a recombinant Naglu protein is a fusion protein containing a Naglu domain and a lysosomal targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting domain is an IGF-II moiety.

Delivery of therapeutic compounds to the brain and other tissues

The present invention relates to the intrathecal (IT) administration of recombinant enzyme to treat lysosomal storage disorders. In an exemplary embodiment, intrathecal administration of human α-L-iduronidase (rhIDU) injections in MPS I affected animals resulted in significant enzyme uptake, significant rh-iduronidase activity in brain and meninges and a decrease of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) storage in cells of MPS I subjects to that of normal subjects. Intrathecal administration proved more effective than intravenous treatment at alleviating MPS I symptoms, indicating it is a useful method of treating lysosomal storage disorders.
