Lysosomal storage disorders are amenable to treatment by enzyme replacement. Genetic modification of muscle via direct injection of expression vectors might represent an alternative method of providing the defective enzymes, if adequate and long-lasting expression levels can be achieved in muscle. We have used the C2C12 mouse myogenic cell line to study the effect of combination of muscle-specific regulatory elements on the expression of the human lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase (α-gal). In differentiated myotubes, a construct containing the myosin light chain 1/3 enhancer in combination with the human cytomegalovirus promoter resulted in higher expression than constructs combining the same enhancer with the rabbit β-myosin heavy chain promoter, or containing the CMV promoter only. Increased enzymatic activity was detectable both in cell extracts and in supernatants. Furthermore, human fibroblasts deficient in α-gal were able to take up the enzyme from medium conditioned by transfected myoblasts. This did not occur in the presence of mannose-6-phosphate which indicates that the uptake was via mannose-6-phosphate receptors. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which a correctly processed form of human α-gal was expressed and secreted from differentiated muscle cells. Direct injection of a plasmid expression vector into mouse tibialis anterior muscle showed significantly increased levels of α-gal 7 days after injection.
