Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II) is a lysosomal storage disorder due to a mutation in the genethat encodes acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). GAA deficiency causes the excessive storage of lysosomal glycogen inmany cell types, leading to cell and, subsequently, tissue dysfunction. Cardiac, respiratory and skeletal muscles are themost severely affected. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human GAA (rhGAA, Myozyme®, Genzyme, Cambridge) is the only approved treatment for Pompe disease. A new therapeutic strategy was developed consisting ofdelivering adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) and serotype 10 (AAV10) vectors expressing human GAA intocerebrospinal fluid of GAA-KO 6neo/6neo Pompe mice. The purpose of this work was to investigate synchrotron Fouriertransform infrared (sFT-IR) and deep ultraviolet (sDUV) microspectroscopies to detect new biomarkers of the disease andthe AAV gene therapy in the cardiac muscle, one of the most affected organs in Pompe disease. Multivariate statisticsapplied to sFT-IR spectra between 4000 cm–1 and 950 cm–1 highlighted the potential of sFT-IR to discriminate Pompe (-/-),Wild type and AAV-treated animals from C–H stretching vibrations of CH3, from C–O, C–N and C–C stretching vibrations of amide I, II, III bands and from specific IR signature of the glycogen. Investigations performed by sDUV microscopy showeda significant increase of the tryptophan autofluorescent signal in the right ventricle for the AAV9-treated Pompe mice. Thehigh-resolution sDUV microspectroscopy experiments suggested a correlation between the tryptophan-rich area and theGAA-rich area. These unprecedented results demonstrate that high-resolution UV microspectroscopy can be acomplementary innovative approach to monitor the chemical change in label-free cardiac muscle section. Moreover, thisnon-destructive technology can be applied to a small amount of tissue allowing therapeutic assessment from biopsy ofhuman patients.
