Symptoms appear between 5 and 10 years of age, beginning with blindness and seizures, followed by progressive cognitive and motor decline and premature death (late teens to 20s). We explored a gene delivery approach for JNCL by generating two self-complementary adeno-associated virus 9 (scAAV9) constructs to address CLN3 dosage effects using the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) and \u03b2-actin promoters to drive low versus high transgene expression, respectively. This approach was based on the expectation that low CLN3 levels are required for cellular homeostasis due to minimal CLN3 expression postnatally, although this had not yet been demonstrated<jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>. One-month-old Cln3<jats:sup>\u0394ex7\/8<\/jats:sup>mice received one systemic (intravenous) injection of scAAV9\/MeCP2-hCLN3 or scAAV9\/\u03b2-actin-hCLN3, with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing viruses as controls. A promoter\u2013dosage effect was observed in all brain regions examined, in which hCLN3 levels were elevated 3- to 8-fold in Cln3<jats:sup>\u0394ex7\/8<\/jats:sup>mice receiving scAAV9\/\u03b2-actin-hCLN3 versus scAAV9\/MeCP2-hCLN3. However, a disconnect occurred between CLN3 levels and disease improvement, because only the scAAV9 construct driving low CLN3 expression (scAAV9\/MeCP2-hCLN3) corrected motor deficits and attenuated microglial and astrocyte activation and lysosomal pathology. This may have resulted from preferential promoter usage because transgene expression after intravenous scAAV9\/MeCP2-GFP injection was primarily detected in NeuN<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>neurons, whereas scAAV9\/\u03b2-actin-GFP drove transgene expression in GFAP<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>astrocytes.
