Abstract:
The invention relates to a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid protein, which is a hybrid between AAV serotype 9 (AAV9) and AAV serotype 74 (AAVrh74) capsid proteins, wherein said recombinant hybrid AAV capsid protein has a reduced liver tropism compared to the parent AAV9 and AAVrh74 capsid proteins. The invention relates also to the derived hybrid AAV serotype vector particles packaging a gene of interest and their use in gene therapy, in particular for treating neuromuscular genetic diseases.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for prognosing, diagnosing, determining the risk, and monitoring the evolution of a muscular dystrophy. It also relates to a method for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment of a muscular dystrophy in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition including at least one epigenome-modifying compound, for a use thereof in the treatment of genetic muscular diseases linked to a conformational disorder of at least one protein, said disorder causing the cellular degradation of the protein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an expression system for systemic administration comprising a sequence encoding a protein, said expression system allowing:
the expression at a therapeutically acceptable level of the protein in the target tissues including skeletal muscles; and the expression at toxically acceptable level of the protein in tissues other than the target tissues, especially in the heart.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an expression system for systemic administration comprising a sequence encoding a protein, said expression system allowing: the expression at a therapeutically acceptable level of the protein in the target tissues including skeletal muscles and/or the peripheral nervous tissue; and the expression at toxically acceptable level of the protein in tissues other than the target tissues, especially in the heart.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a peptide-modified AAV capsid with improved tropism, in particular increased muscle tropism and/or reduced liver tropism. The invention relates also to the derived recombinant AAV vector particle packaging a gene of interest, and its use in gene therapy, in particular for treating muscle diseases.
Abstract:
Sarcoglycanopathies are autosomal recessive diseases caused by mutations in the one of the genes coding for any sarcoglycans (SG). The inventors previously showed that the application of small molecules developed to rescue ΔF508-CFTR trafficking, and known as CFTR correctors, improved the maturation of several α-sarcoglycan mutants that were consequently rescued at the plasma membrane (WO 014086687). Now, the inventors show that some specific CFTR correctors provide additive and even synergic effect when administered in combination.
