abstractText | Previous studies strongly suggest that starch binding domain containing protein 1 (Stbd1) plays an important role in intracellular glycogen trafficking into lysosomes. We report here that Stbd1 expression is markedly increased in skeletal muscles but not in heart and liver of GAA-KO mice. An AAV2/9 vector expressing a Stbd1-specific shRNA effectively suppressed Stbd1 expression but did not alter lysosomal glycogen accumulation in the affected tissues of GAA-KO mice. Our results indicate that inhibition of Stbd1 does not appear to be an effective therapeutic approach for Pompe disease. |
