Establishment of mouse model of inherited PIGO deficiency and therapeutic potential of AAV-based gene therapy

Abstract: Inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiency (IGD) is caused by mutations in GPI biosynthesis genes. The mechanisms of its systemic, especially neurological, symptoms are not clarified and fundamental therapy has not been established. Here, we report establishment of mouse models of IGD caused by PIGO mutations as well as development of effective gene therapy. As the clinical manifestations of IGD are systemic and lifelong lasting, we treated the mice with adeno-associated virus for homology-indepen… Show more

“…18,19 Glycocalyceal dysfunction has been previously suggested as a pathogenic mechanism in a cohort of patients with congenital disorders of glycosylation, including a patient with PIGN-CDG reported by Brucker et al for whom fresh frozen plasma and protein C concentrate infusions were given, with the rationale of supporting the endothelial glycocalyx during acute illnesses, with excellent results. 20 It is possible that further studies, especially using the recently validated murine model for PIGO deficiency, 21 will better delineate the role of the glycocalyx and the etiology of intestinal dysfunction in these patients and provide therapeutic insights for addressing this issue.…”

“…This is consistent with reports that some severe IGD cases show mitochondrial dysfunction ( 28 ). In future, we are planning to analyze the metabolic conditions in vivo using IGD model mice ( 29 ). CD73 expression is decreased in phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class G (PIGG) KO cells ( 30 ) and some cases with null mutation of PIGG also showed decreased expression of CD73 and mitochondrial dysfunction ( 31 ), suggesting that CD73 expression is important for uptake of vitamin B 2 in PIGG deficiency.…”

“…We used two software packages to evaluate cellularity and nuclear morphology: Hybrid Cell Count (BZ‐X800, Keyence) 21 and QuPath (version 0.3.2; an open‐source software for digital pathology images) 22 . For the Hybrid Cell Count, we took three HPFs per case carrying the greatest cell density at a glance, and semiautomatically analyzed them for the density and morphological parameters as follows: nuclear area, roundness, and circularity calculated, respectively, by the following equations: Roundness=Diametermax.Diameter0.25emmin.2;Circularity=4π×AreaPerimeter20.25em.…”
