Comparison of efficacy between subcutaneous and intravenous application of moss‐aGal in the mouse model of Fabry disease
2023
Overview
Fabry disease (FD, OMIM 301500) is a rare X‐linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder associated with reduced activities of α‐galactosidase A (aGal, EC 3.2.1.22). The current standard of care for FD is based on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), in which a recombinantly produced version of αGal is intravenously (iv) applied to Fabry patients in biweekly intervals. Though the iv application is clinically efficacious, periodical infusions are inconvenient, time‐ and resource‐consuming and they negatively impact the patients’ quality of life. Subcutaneous (sc) injection, in contrast, is an established route of administration for treatment of chronic conditions. It opens the beneficial option of self‐administration, thereby improving patients’ quality of life and at the same time reducing treatment costs. We have previously shown that Moss‐α‐Galactosidase (moss‐aGal), recombinantly produced in the moss Physcomitrium patens , is efficient in degrading accumulated Gb3 in target organs of murine model of FD and in the phase I clinical study, we obtained first efficacy evidence in human patients following single iv infusion. Here, we tested the efficacy of subcutaneous administration of moss‐aGal and compared it with the results observed following iv infusion in Fabry mice. The obtained findings demonstrate that subcutaneously applied moss‐aGal is correctly transported to target organs and efficacious in degrading Gb3 deposits there and thus suggest the possibility of using this route of administration for therapy of Fabry disease.
