Absent or low levels of the enzyme leads to lysosomal glycogen accumulation in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, resulting in progressive muscle weakness and death from cardiac or respiratory failure. Recombinant enzyme replacement and gene therapy are now being investigated as treatment modalities for this disease. A knockout mouse model for Pompe disease, induced by the disruption of exon 6 within the acid \u03b1-glucosidase gene, mimics the human disease and has been used to evaluate the efficacy of treatment modalities for clearing glycogen. However, for accurate histopathological assessment of glycogen clearance, maximal preservation of in situ lysosomal glycogen is essential. To improve retention of glycogen in Pompe tissues, several fixation and embedding regimens were evaluated. The best glycogen preservation was obtained when tissues fixed with 3% glutaraldehyde and postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide were processed into epon-araldite. Preservation was confirmed by staining with the Periodic acid-Schiff's reaction and by electron microscopy. This methodology resulted in high-resolution light microscopy (HRLM) sections suitable for digital quantification of glycogen content in heart and skeletal muscle. Combining this method of tissue fixation with computer-assisted histomorphometry has provided us with what we believe is the most objective and reproducible means of evaluating histological glycogen load in Pompe disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/002215540505300108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,1]],"date-time":"2011-04-01T00:48:58Z","timestamp":1301618938000},"page":"63-73","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["High-resolution Light Microscopy (HRLM) and Digital Analysis of Pompe Disease Pathology"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Colleen M.","family":"Lynch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Genzyme Corporation, Framingham, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Genzyme Corporation, Framingham, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Vaccaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Genzyme Corporation, Framingham, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beth L.","family":"Thurberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Genzyme Corporation, Framingham, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-002215540505300108","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/7.1.53"},{"key":"bibr2-002215540505300108","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/8.12.2145"},{"key":"bibr3-002215540505300108","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9896(199911)189:3<416::AID-PATH445>3.0.CO;2-6"},{"key":"bibr4-002215540505300108","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10520295909114656"},{"key":"bibr5-002215540505300108","volume-title":"Histotechnology.
