Gene therapy may provide a long-term approach to the treatment of mucopolysaccharidoses. As a first step toward the development of an effective gene therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (Morquio syndrome), a recombinant retroviral vector, LGSN, derived from the LXSN vector, containing a full-length human wildtype N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfa...

Extracellular matrix dysregulation is key to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH), suggesting a pivotal role for the proteases that control matrix remodeling. Both hypoxia- and monocrotaline-induced PH are associated with increased protease activity in the distal and proximal pulmonary arteries. However, the role of proteases is not compl...

Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal childhood neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease with no known therapy. There are estimated to be 200 to 300 children in the United States at any one time with the disease. LINCL is a genetic disease resulting from a deficiency of tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP-I), a proteolytic en...

Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency in the factor VIII (FVIII) gene. Constrained by limited packaging capacity, even the 4.3-kb B domain-deleted FVIII remained a challenge for delivery by a single adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector. Studies have shown that up to a 6.6-kb vector sequence may be packaged into AAV virions, which suggested an alter...

Oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is being developed as a novel therapeutic agent for cancer treatment, although it is toxic in animals when administered systemically at high doses. Its safety can be substantively improved by an M Delta 51 deletion in the viral genome, and yet VSV(M Delta 51) induces a much greater, robust cellular inflamm...
