Dual-isoform hUBE3A gene transfer improves behavioral and seizure outcomes in Angelman syndrome model mice

Abstract: BDP are inventors of a gene therapy for Angelman syndrome evaluated in this paper. This intellectual property has been filed, and a patent is pending (WO 2020/237130). Some of this research was conducted under a term of a license agreement with Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, and the technology is now licensed to Taysha Gene Therapies. MCJ, CS, SJG, and BDP received royalties from Asklepios BioPharmaceutical. BDP also served on a program committee and consulted for Asklepios BioPharmaceutical. These relationships… Show more

“…Developing a pipeline to test new AS treatments in mice will be critical to evaluate their success, regardless of treatment mechanism. Recent work established a “gold standard” behavioral battery consisting of five tests (rotarod, open field, marble burying, nest building, forced swim) that are reliably impaired in Ube3a m-/p+ mice [ 24 ] and are sensitive to treatment [ 40 , 44 46 ]. Using this battery, we hypothesized that multidimensional analysis: (a) would enable quantification of behavior across multiple domains as a single “severity score,” (b) that this severity score would be a reliable indicator of Ube3a genotype, and (c) that this severity score is sensitive to treatment.…”

“…Currently, three Phase 1 or Phase 1/2 clinical trials with ASOs targeting UBE3A-ATS are underway. Another approach is to directly express an exogenous copy of UBE3A by AAV, which also only rescues a subset of phenotypes of maternal Ube3a knockout mice when administered postnatally ( Daily et al, 2011 ; Judson et al, 2021 ). The reversibility of neurological phenotypes at different ages is summarized in Supplementary file 1 .…”

“…While not planned in this case, the group difference in age was beneficial in that it enabled us to study behavior in Ube3a m−/p+ mice in groups that were weight-matched (Supplementary Figure 8B). Increased weight has been widely reported in Ube3a m−/p+ mice (van Woerden et al, 2007;Huang et al, 2013;Born et al, 2017;Judson et al, 2017Judson et al, , 2021Sonzogni et al, 2018;Wolter et al, 2020), and weight differences have the potential to confound behavioral tests. Here, behavioral phenotypes were present on the 5CSRTT in Ube3a m−/p+ mice that were the same weight as WT controls.…”
