Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of a lysosomal disease or disorder involving increasing the level, expression, or activity of a metallothionein polypeptide or polynucleotide in the subject.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a lysosomal storage disease or disorder in a subject, the method comprising increasing the level, expression, or activity of a metallothionein-1 polypeptide or polynucleotide in the subject relative to a reference by administering to the subject an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector or a lentiviral (LV) vector encoding the metallothionein-1 polypeptide or polynucleotide, wherein the lysosomal storage disease is globoid leukodystrophy or metachromatic leukodystrophy. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is pre-selected by detecting an increase in the level of a metallothionein (MT) polynucleotide or polypeptide in a sample of the subject relative to a reference. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metallothionein is selected from the group consisting of metallothionein-1A (MT1A), metallothionein-1B (MT1B), metallothionein-1E (MT1E), metallothionein-1F (MT1F), metallothionein-1G (MT1G), metallothionein-1H (MT1H), metallothionein-lI pseudogene (MT1Ip or MTE), metallothionein-1L (LT1L or MT1R), metallothionem-1M (MT1M or MT1K), and metallothionein-1X (MT1X). 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering the AAV vector to the subject. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the AAV vector is administered systemically. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering the LV vector. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the LV vector is administered systemically. 8. A method of treating a lysosomal storage disease or disorder in a subject, the method comprising increasing the level, expression, or activity of a metallothionein-1 polypeptide or polynucleotide in the subject relative to a reference by administering to the subject hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) comprising a vector encoding the metallothionein-1 polypeptide or polynucleotide, wherein the lysosomal storage disease is globoid leukodystrophy or metachromatic leukodystrophy. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the subject is pre-selected by detecting an increase in the level of a metallothionein (MT) polynucleotide or polypeptide in a sample of the subject relative to a reference. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the metallothionein selected from the group consisting of metallothionein-1A (MT1A), metallothionein-1B (MT1B), metallothionein-1E (MT1E), metallothionein-1F (MT1F), metallothionein-1G (MT1G), metallothionein-1H (MT1H), metallothionein-lI pseudogene (MT1Ip or MTE), metallothionein-1L (LT1L or MT1R), metallothionem-1M (MT1M or MT1K), and metallothionein-1X (MT1X). 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the vector is a lentiviral vector or an adeno associated virus (AAV) vector.
