pubmed:abstractText |
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency resulting from the inability of an individual's phagocytes to produce superoxide anions because of defective NADPH oxidase. The disease may be treated by bone marrow transplantation and as such is a candidate for somatic gene therapy. Two thirds of patients have defects in an X-linked gene (X-CGD) encoding gp91-phox, the large subunit of the membrane cytochrome b-245 component of NADPH oxidase. Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cell lines from patients with CGD provide a model system for the disease. We have used retrovirus-mediated expression of gp91-phox to reconstitute functionally NADPH oxidase activity in B-cell lines from three unrelated patients with X-CGD. The protein is glycosylated and membrane associated, and the reconstituted oxidase is appropriately activated via protein kinase C. The kinetics of superoxide production by such reconstituted cells is similar to that of normal B-cell lines. These data show the potential of gene therapy for this disease.
