Embodiment 1

[0095] Example 1 - Efficiency of secretion signaling

[0096] To test the efficacy of the secretion signal, GFP (SEQ ID No: 1 ) (XM 013480425.1 ) was cloned in frame with human insulin, GDNF (SEQ ID No: 2) (AB675653.1 ) or the IgK signal peptide.

[0116] Example 3 - In Vitro Testing of Mouse UBE3A Vector Constructs

[0117] The mouse vector properties of the constructs generated in Example 2 were tested in HEK293 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA). HEK293 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified essential medium (DMEM) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin / streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO 2 Grow and subculture at 80% confluency.

[0118] The vector (2 μg / well in a 6-well plate) was transfected into cells using the PEI transfection method. Two days before transfection, cells were incubated with 0.5 × 10 6 Cells / well were subcultured in DMEM medium in 6-well plates. The medium was changed the night before transfection. Endotoxin-free dH 2 O was heated to 80°C and polyethyleneimine (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved. The solution was cooled to about 25°C, and the solution was neutralized with sodium hydroxide. For each transfection well, add AAV4-STUb vector or negative control (m...

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel vector, composition and method of treating a neurological disorder characterized by deficient UBE3A. The UBE3A gene, which encodes for E6-AP, a ubiquitin ligase,was found to be responsible for Angelman syndrome (AS). A unique feature of this gene is that it undergoes maternal imprinting in a neuron-specific manner. In the majority of AS cases, there is a mutation or deletion in the maternally inherited UBE3A gene, although other cases are the result of uniparental disomy or mismethylation of the maternal gene. A UBE3A protein construct was generated withadditional sequences that allow the secretion from cells and uptake by neighboring neuronal cells. The UBE3A vector may be used in gene therapy to confer a functional E6-AP protein into the neurons and rescue disease pathology.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is the U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 entitled "Modified UBE3A Gene for a Gene Therapy Approach for Angelman Syndrome" filed on June 28, 2017 / 525,787, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into the present disclosure. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the treatment of Angelman syndrome. More specifically, the present invention provides therapeutic methods and compositions for the treatment of Angelman Syndrome. Background technique [0004] Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder affecting neurons that is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 15,000 births (Clayton-Smith, Clinical Study of Angelman Syndrome, UK: A Study of 82 Affected Individuals observations (Clinical research on Angelman syndrome in the United Kingdom: observations on82 affected individuals), Am J Med Genet. 1993 Apr 1; ​​46(1):12-5), but the actual number of ...
