Research Abstract |
The therapeutic efficacy of cell transplantation for muscular lesions in lysosomal storage disorders was explored using a murine model of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII). We used stromal cells derived from bone marrow and expanded in vitro as the source of graft materials. We transplanted marrow stromal cells into the muscular tissue of MPS VII mice and found that donor cells migrated far beyond the site of injection. The GUSB activity was recovered after transplantation. In addition, histological analysis revealed a widespread decrease in lysosomal storage in the recipients. These results suggest that intramuscular transplantation of marrow stromal cells is feasible for treatment of lesions associated with lysosomal storage disorders.
