BackgroundWe generated an adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vector in which the humanSLC2A1gene, encoding glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1), was expressed under the human endogenous GLUT1 promoter (AAV‐GLUT1). We examined whether AAV‐GLUT1 administration could lead to functional improvement inGLUT1‐deficient mice.MethodsWe extrapolated human endogenous GLUT1 promoter sequences from rat minimal Glut1 promoter sequences. We generated a tyrosine‐mutant AAV9/3 vector in which humanSLC2A1‐myc‐DDKwas expressed under the human GLUT1 promoter (AAV‐GLUT1). AAV‐GLUT1 was administered toGLUT1‐deficient mice (GLUT1+/–mice) via intracerebroventricular injection (1.85 × 1010vg/mouse or 6.5 × 1010vg/mouse). We analyzed exogenous GLUT1 mRNA and protein expression in the brain and other major organs. We also examined improvements of cerebral microvasculature, motor function using rota‐rod and footprint tests, as well as blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels. Additionally, we confirmed exogenous GLUT1 protein distribution in the brain and other organs after intracardiac injection (7.8 × 1011vg/mouse).ResultsExogenous GLUT1 protein was strongly expressed in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and thalamus. It was mainly expressed in endothelial cells, and partially expressed in neural cells and oligodendrocytes. Motor function and CSF glucose levels were significantly improved following intracerebroventricular injection. Exogenous GLUT1 expression was not detected in other organs after intracerebroventricular injection of AAV‐GLUT1, whereas it was detected in the liver and muscle tissue after intracardiac injection.ConclusionsExogenous GLUT1 expression after AAV‐GLUT1 injection approximated that of physiological human GLUT1 expression. Local central nervous system administration of AAV‐GLUT1 improved CSF glucose levels and motor function ofGLUT1‐deficient mice and minimized off‐target effects.
