Adiponectin rescues synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus of a mouse model of fragile X syndrome

<p>Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and is the leading known single-gene cause of autism spectrum disorder. FXS patients display varied behavioural deficits that include mild to severe cognitive impairments in addition to mood disorders. Currently, there is no cure for this condition, however, there is an emerging focus on therapies that inhibit mTOR-dependent protein synthesis due to the clinical effectiveness of metformin for alleviating some behavioural symptoms in FXS. Adiponectin (APN) is a neurohormone that is released by adipocytes and provides an alternative means to inhibit mTOR activation in the brain. In these studies, we show that <em>Fmr1</em> KO mice, like FXS patients, show reduced levels of circulating APN, and that both LTP and LTD in the DG (dentate gyrus) are impaired. Brief (20 min) incubation of hippocampal slices in APN (50 nM) was able to rescue both LTP and LTD in the DG and increased both the surface expression and phosphorylation of GluA1 receptors. These results provide evidence for reduced adiponectin levels in FXS playing a role in decreasing bidirectional synaptic plasticity and show that therapies that enhance adiponectin levels may have therapeutic potential for this and related conditions.</p>

Noscapine treatment effect in transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

<p>Cerebrovascular dysfunction and neuroinflammation play key roles in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease (AD). The kinin-kallikrein system involving bradykinin receptor has been proposed at the nexus of beta-amyloid, vascular pathology and inflammation in patients with AD and in animal models. Here, we evaluated the effect of blocking the bradykinin receptors 1 and 2 by treatment with the bradykinin antagonist noscapine on cerebrovascular dysfunction, inflammation and amyloid pathology in a transgenic mouse model of amyloidosis. Transgenic arcA&beta; mice, and wild-type littermates of 14 months-of-age were either treated with noscapine (3 g/L, acidified drinking water) or received drinking water as control for three months (n = 8-11 per group). Arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging showed alleviated regional hypoperfusion in noscapine-treated arcAb compared to control arcAb mice. Functional magnetic resonance imaging showed mitigated reduced regional cerebral vascular reactivity in noscapine-treated arcAb compared to control arcAb mice.</p>

Tau deposition is associated with imaging patterns of calcifications and immunhistochemical markers of osteogenesis in the P301L mouse model of human tauopathy

<p>Brain calcifications are associated with several neurodegenerative proteinopathies. Here, we report a new phenotype of imaging pattern of intracranial calcifications in transgenic P301L mice overexpressing 4 repeat human tau. P301L mice (Thy1.2) of 3, 5, 9 and 18-25 months-of-age and age-matched non-transgenic littermates (n = 4-11 per group) were assessed using <em>in vivo / ex vivo</em> magnetic resonance imaging with a gradient recalled echo sequence and micro computed tomography. Susceptibility weighted images computed from the gradient recalled echo data revealed regional hypointensities in the hippocampus, cortex, caudate nucleus and thalamus of P301L mice, in which corresponding phase images indicated diamagnetic lesions. In the hippocampus, occurrence of diamagnetic susceptibility calcifications increased with age. Concomitantly micro computed tomography detected hyperdense lesions. Immunochemical staining of brain sections revealed osteocalcin positive nodules, which is a marker of osteogenic maturation. Furthermore, we found vessel-associated and intra-neuronal osteocalcin positivity co-localizing with phosphorylated tau (AT8 and AT100) in the hippocampus. In contrast, osteocalcin containing nodules were vessel-associated, indicating ossified vessels, in the thalamus in absence of phosphorylated tau. In summary, we demonstrated imaging pattern of intracranial calcifications, early spheroid formation containing proteins associated with ossification along with phosphorylated tau in the P301L mouse model of human tauopathy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Craniofacial landmark coordinates of DS mouse models

<h2>DATA Description</h2> <p>We make available the data used for craniofacial analysis of nine Down syndrome mouse models.&nbsp;For each DS model, one Zip file is available and contains</p> <p>-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a minimum of four text files with all individual coordinates by genotype (DS model or wt control) for the skull or the mandibule (Mdb):</p> <p>o&nbsp;&nbsp; the first line of the text file describes the content: <em>Cranium or mandible coordinate + wt control or DS model genotype + Sex (male or female)</em></p> <p>o&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>XYZ coordinates</em></p> <p>o&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>39L (how many landmarks) 3 (how many coordinates) 10A (how many samples)</em></p> <p>o&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>The list of used landmarks (see figure 1 and Tables S1-S2)</em></p> <p>o&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>Before the coordinate, the ID (number) of the individual is indicated&nbsp;</em></p> <p>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tiff files for all individuals used with the model that are in two folders, one for the DS/Dp model and one for the wt controls. All Tiff files are named with the ID number of the individual.&nbsp;</p> <h2>Down Syndrome mouse models used</h2> <p>We used the Dp(16)1Yey and Tg(<em>Dyrk1a</em>) (official name Dp(16Lipi-Zbtb21)1Yey and Tg(<em>Dyrk1a</em>)189N3Yah) models (Li et al. 2007; Guedj et al. 2012) which were maintained on the C57BL/6J genetic background. We also used the SD: CRL Dp (11Lipi-Zbtb21)1Yah (short name Dp(Rno11)) rat model generated in the lab (Birling et al. 2017) that carries a duplication of the <em>Lipi-Zbtb21</em>, an interval similar to the mouse Dp(16)1Yey, found on rat chromosome 11.</p> <p>New lines were generated via an <em>in vivo</em> chromosomal recombination technique, which combines a transposon system (Ruf et al. 2011) and a meiotic recombination system Cre-loxP (H&eacute;rault et al. 1998). The transposon system consists of the transposase enzyme and its substrate, the transposon. The enzyme recognizes specific repeat sequences (ITR) flanked on either side of a given DNA sequence (in this case, a vector containing a specific loxP site) (Ruf et al. 2011). Once two loxP sites bound a region of interest, successive crosses bring a transgene expressing the Cre recombinase into the same individual. In this animal, the Cre enzyme recombines the sequences of the loxP sites to produce a duplication (or partial trisomy) of the region of interest (H&eacute;rault et al. 1998; H&eacute;rault et al. 2010).</p> <p>The new mouse models have been developed with the following segmental duplications in the Mmu16 (Figure 1). For Dp(16<em>Samsn1-Cldn17</em>)7Yah (Dp(16)7Yah) we duplicated the segment between <em>Samsn1</em> and <em>Cldn17</em>. Dp(16<em>Tiam1-Clic6</em>))8Yah (Dp(16)8Yah) presents a duplication between <em>Tiam1</em> and <em>Clic6</em>. Dp(16<em>Cldn17-Brwd1</em>))9Yah (Dp(16)9Yah) displays a duplication in the interval between <em>Cldn17</em> and <em>Brwd1</em>. Dp(16<em>Tmprss15-Setd4</em>)10Yah (Dp(16)10Yah) has the segment between <em>Tmprss15</em> and <em>Setd4</em> duplicated, similar to Dp(16<em>Tmprss15-Grik1</em>)11Yah (Dp(16)11Yah), but this model presents a region duplicated until <em>Grik1</em>. Dp(16<em>Tmprss15-Zbtb21</em>)12Yah (Dp(16)12Yah) has the duplicated region from <em>Tmprss15</em> to <em>Zfp295</em>, and Dp(16<em>Cldn17-Vps26c</em>(<em>Dyrk1a</em>KO))13Yah (Dp(16)13Yah) from <em>Cldn17</em> to <em>Vps26c</em>, up to the sequence of <em>Dyrk1a</em> which is inactivated. All lines were maintained on C57BL/6J genetic background.</p> <p><strong>Figure 1 : </strong>Relative position of the duplicated interval in the DS mouse models is indicated by a line.</p> <h2>Mouse samples from the DS mouse models</h2> <p>To generate the data, we made cohorts of mice housed under specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions, treated in compliance with the animal welfare policies of the French Ministry of Agriculture (law 87 848). As a major genotype effect compared to sex was previously described elsewhere independently (Redhead et al. 2023), we decided to use females. For each mouse line, about ten littermates by each genotype, DS, and wild-type (WT) were collected (n = 180). &nbsp;We tried to have balanced males and females in the cohorts. For example, For the Dp(16)1Yey line, six females plus five males for the dup carrier and six males plus three females for control were used.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nevertheless, this was not the case in all the other lines, with sometimes more female individuals collected than males, because males were used to breed the lines.</p> <h2>Micro-computed tomography scan of the skull and mandibule of mutant and control mouse lines</h2> <p>Animals were euthanized with the standard procedure at 14 weeks old.&nbsp; Briefly, the mouse heads were dissected apart from the body. A polystyrene section was interposed between the mandible and maxilla to separate the jaws. After dissection, samples were fixed in a 4% paraformaldehyde solution (PFA), washed with water, and stored in 70% ethanol. The mouse heads were scanned using the Quantum FX micro-computed tomography imaging system (Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, MA, USA) to evaluate the morphology of the skull and mandible. The images obtained were delivered in DICOM format. The scan parameters used to carry out the scanning of the samples correspond to 2 scans of every sample, anterior part, and posterior part using the mode Scan Technique Fine of 2 minutes, with a field of view (FOV) of 40 mm, the voltage 90 kV, CT 160 &mu;A, resolution pixel size 10 &micro;m and the capture size for live mode viewing in small, live current 80kV.</p> <p><strong>Imaging Processing</strong></p> <p>For each sample, two scans were obtained, one from the anterior area of the skull and one from the posterior region. FIJI software was used to unite these two scans and create a single file, performing the plugin &ldquo;Stitching&rdquo; and saving one file in TIFF format for each individual per model (WTs and Duplication or transgenic genotype). This format can be opened using different image processors. We make the level of raw data available here in the folder TIFF of each model.</p> <p>Then, Stratovan Checkpoint software (Stratovan Corporation, Sacramento, USA, Version 2018.08.07. Aug 07, 2018.) was used to place the landmarks (Table S1 and S2; Figure 2) and extract the 3D coordinates for all the landmarks in all the samples. So, for each DS model, you will find an additional text file with individuals' landmark coordinates. You will find four text files for each model, 2 for the skull and 2 for the mandible, divided into WT and DS models.</p> <p>Morphometrics is the quantification and statistical analysis of form. Form is the combination of size and shape of a geometric object in an arbitrary orientation and location (shape is what remains of the geometry of such an object once it is standardized for size). Various approaches can be employed when conducting morphometric analysis. The method of interest in this study is the landmark-based method, which is a conventional approach that relies on phenotypic measurements such as linear distances, angles, weights, and areas. In this case, we used 61 landmarks, 39 in the skull and 22 in the mandible (Figure 2), to obtain the 3D coordinates of the structure (Hallgrimsson et al. 2015).</p> <p><strong>Figure 2</strong>. Landmark positions for the skull and mandibule analysis.</p> <p>Based on 3D coordinates, Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA) is one of the principal tools for analyzing landmark-based morphometric data (Lele et Richtsmeier 2001). This method builds a matrix of linear distances between all possible pairs of landmarks for each specimen (Lele et Richtsmeier 1991). Morphological differences between groups can be pinpointed to specific linear distances on an object through pairwise comparisons of mean form or shape matrices, followed by bootstrapping to estimate the significance of these differences (Lele et Richtsmeier 2001). In this study, two tests were done for each group of samples, first to analyze the form of the skull and mandibles with form difference matrix (FDM) and then the shape with the shape difference matrix (SDM).</p> <p>In addition, to track the landmarks associated with a significant change and understand where they are located in the CF structures, &ldquo;EDMA FORM or SHAPE Influence landmark analysis&rdquo; was performed (Cole et Richtsmeier 1998). The purpose of this test is to search which landmarks present a Relative Euclidean distance (RED) &gt; 1.05 or &lt; 0.95 (outside of the confidence interval 97,8%), meaning, which landmarks show a bigger difference in linear distances between every landmark and in what direction.</p> <p>Another way to handle landmark-based data is using a multivariate statistical analysis of form, geometric morphometric. This method relies on the superimposition of landmark coordinate data to place individuals into a common morpho-space. The most used superimposition form is the Generalized Procrustes (GP) method and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This method places multiple individual specimens into the same shape space by scaling, translating, and rotating the landmark coordinates around the centroid of every sample (Rohlf et Slice 1990). As an alternative, we took advantage of Stratovan Checkpoint (Stratovan Corporation, Sacramento, USA) to create population average models and perform a voxel-based analysis, where we can observe directly in 3D models the changes between populations.</p> <p>Finally, using the 3dMD Vultus&reg; software, we created Procrustes average models created in Checkpoint to perform a landmarking calculation.</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>Birling, Marie-Christine, Laurence Schaeffer, Philippe Andr&eacute;, Loic Lindner, Damien Mar&eacute;chal, Abdel Ayadi, Tania Sorg, Guillaume Pavlovic, et Yann H&eacute;rault. 2017. &laquo;&nbsp;Efficient and Rapid Generation of Large Genomic Variants in Rats and Mice Using CRISMERE&nbsp;&raquo;. <em>Scientific Reports</em> 7 (1): 43331. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep43331.</p> <p>Cole, T.

Data and Code from: Dysregulation of zebrin-II cell subtypes is a shared feature across polyglutamine ataxia mouse models and human patients

<div> <div> <div> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG- polyglutamine repeat expansion. Purkinje cells (PCs) are central to the pathology of ataxias, but their low abundance in the cerebellum underrepresents their transcriptomes in sequencing assays. To address this issue, we developed a PC enrichment protocol and sequenced individual nuclei from mice and patients with SCA7. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing in SCA7-266Q mice revealed dysregulation of cell identity genes affecting glia and PCs. Specifically, genes marking zebrin-II PC subtypes accounted for the highest proportion of DEGs in symptomatic SCA7-266Q mice. These transcriptomic changes in SCA7-266Q mice were associated with increased numbers of inhibitory synapses as quantified by immunohistochemistry and reduced spiking of PCs in acute brain slices. Dysregulation of zebrin-II cell subtypes was the predominant signal in PCs of SCA7-266Q mice and was associated with the loss of zebrin-II striping in the cerebellum at motor symptom onset. We furthermore demonstrated zebrin-II stripe degradation in additional mouse models of polyglutamine ataxia and observed decreased zebrin-II expression in cerebellum of patients with SCA7. Our results suggest that a breakdown of zebrin subtype regulation is a shared pathological feature of polyglutamine ataxias.</p> <p>Data and Code Availability</p> <p>Here you will find data and code associated with our manuscript "Dysregulation of zebrin-II cell subtypes is a shared feature across polyglutamine ataxia mouse models and human patients", Bartelt et al., <em>Sci. Trans.

Cell type identification and annotation also takes place in this file. Note: the deMULTIplex step will likely need to be run on a high performance compute cluster.</li> <li>The second file, 01_Seurat_Analysis, uses the filtered and annotated Seurat file to calculate useful QC metrics, investigate disease signals, and perform cell type subclustering analyses.</li> <li>The third file, 02_Pseudobulk_DEseq2, contains custom analysis code to extract raw counts for each cell type and each animal from the Seurat file, and uses the DEseq2 package to calculate DEGs, taking into account biological replicates, and raw read count differences between control and SCA7 animals.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div>

Together, these germ layers establish the body plan, defining major body axes and initiating organogenesis. Although comprehensive single cell transcriptional atlases of dissociated mouse embryos across embryonic stages have provided valuable insights during gastrulation, the spatial context for cell differentiation and tissue patterning remain underexplored. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics to measure gene expression in mouse embryos at E6.5 and E7.5 and integrated these datasets with previously published E8.5 spatial transcriptomics and a scRNA-seq atlas spanning E6.5 to E9.5. This approach resulted in a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas, comprising over 150,000 cells with 88 refined cell type annotations as well as genome-wide transcriptional imputation during mouse gastrulation and early organogenesis. The atlas facilitates exploration of gene expression dynamics along anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes at cell type, tissue, and organismal scales, revealing insights into mesodermal fate decisions within the primitive streak. Moreover, we developed a bioinformatics pipeline to project additional scRNA-seq datasets into a spatiotemporal framework and demonstrate its utility by analysing cardiovascular models of gastrulation3. To maximise impact, the atlas is publicly accessible via a user-friendly web portal empowering the wider developmental and stem cell biology communities to explore mechanisms of early mouse development in a spatiotemporal context.</p> </li> </ol>

Metabolic Derangement in Polycystic Kidney Disease Mouse Models Is Ameliorated by Mitochondrial-Targeted Antioxidants

<p>Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressively enlarging cysts. Here we elucidate the interplay between oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic derangement using two mouse models of PKD1 mutation, PKD1RC/null and PKD1RC/RC. Mouse kidneys with PKD1 mutation have decreased mitochondrial complexes activity. Targeted proteomics analysis shows a significant decrease in proteins involved in the TCA cycle, fatty acid oxidation (FAO), respiratory complexes, and endogenous antioxidants. Overexpressing mitochondrial-targeted catalase (mCAT) using adeno-associated virus reduces mitochondrial ROS, oxidative damage, ameliorates the progression of PKD and partially restores expression of proteins involved in FAO and the TCA cycle. In human ADPKD cells, inducing mitochondrial ROS increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation and decreased AMPK phosphorylation, whereas the converse was observed with increased scavenging of ROS in the mitochondria. Treatment with the mitochondrial protective peptide, SS31, recapitulates the beneficial effects of mCAT, supporting its potential application as a novel therapeutic for ADPKD.</p>

Dataset related to: Therapeutic Small Interfering RNA Targeting Complement C3 in a Mouse Model of C3 Glomerulopathy

<p>The files contain all the dataset included in the manuscript divided by figures.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Alternative pathway complement dysregulation with abnormal glomerular C3 deposits and glomerular damage is a key mechanism of pathology in C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). No disease-specific treatments are currently available for C3G. Therapeutics inhibiting complement are emerging as a potential strategy for the treatment of C3G. In this study, we investigated the effects of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the C3 component of complement that inhibits liver C3 expression in the C3G model of mice with heterozygous deficiency of factor H (Cfh+/- mice). We showed a duration of action for GalNAc-conjugated C3 siRNA in reducing the liver C3 gene expression in Cfh+/- mice that were dosed s.c. once a month for up to 7 mo. C3 siRNA limited fluid-phase alternative pathway activation, reducing circulating C3 fragmentation and activation of factor B. Treatment with GalNAc-conjugated C3 siRNA reduced glomerular C3d deposits in Cfh+/- mice to levels similar to those of wild-type mice. Ultrastructural analysis further revealed the efficacy of the C3 siRNA in slowing the formation of mesangial and subendothelial electron-dense deposits. The present data indicate that RNA interference mediated C3 silencing in the liver may be a relevant therapeutic strategy for treating patients with C3G associated with the haploinsufficiency of complement factor H.</p>

KidDO project update - quantitative proteomic and metabolomic analysis of five mouse models with chronic kidney disease

<p>Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most deadly diseases faced by patients and is a major global health and socioeconomic burden.CKD increases cardiovascular morbidity and premature mortality and decreases quality of life. Hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which are reaching epidemic levels, are major risk factors for CKD.&nbsp;CKD diagnosis and progression is based on estimated GFR (eGFR) and urinary albumin excretion. However, eGFR only has a predictive value in advanced disease and there is risk of progressive CKD in non-albuminuric individuals.&nbsp;Thus, there is an urgent need for new approaches for early detection of the most &ldquo;at risk&rdquo; individuals and identification of CKD signatures to aid in designing novel drugs and preventive measures that could ameliorate progression of CKD.</p> <p>Our overarching goal is to identify metabolites that predict kidney cell phenotypes during CKD and how crosstalk of these metabolites with the proteome drive CKD progression. We will integrate metabolomics and proteomic information from animal models of CKD with human CKD patient biopsies to identify common signatures in the tubulointerstitium that correlate with human pathophysiology.</p> <p>Here we provide&nbsp;quantitative proteomic&nbsp;and metabolomic&nbsp;datasets, as well as plasma and urine electrolyte&nbsp;measurements&nbsp;on five CKD mouse models.</p>

Ex vivo 100 μm isotropic diffusion MRI‐based tractography of connectivity changes in the end‐stage R6/2 mouse model of Huntington's disease

<div> <div> <div> <div> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Brain atrophy, as measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is a downstream consequence of neurodegeneration, but microstructural changes within brain tissue are expected to precede this volumetric decline. The tissue microstructure can be assayed non-invasively using diffusion MRI, which also allows a tractographic analysis of brain connectivity.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: We here used ex vivo diffusion MRI (11.7T) to measure microstructural changes in different brain regions of end‐stage (14 weeks of age) wild type and R6/2 mice (male and female) modeling Huntington's disease. To probe the microstructure of different brain regions, reduce partial volume effects and measure connectivity between different regions, a 100 μm isotropic voxel resolution was acquired.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Although fractional anisotropy did not reveal any difference between wild‐type controls and R6/2 mice, mean, axial, and radial diffusivity were increased in female R6/2 mice and decreased in male R6/2 mice. Whole brain streamlines were only reduced in male R6/2 mice, but streamline density was increased. Region‐to‐region tractography indicated reductions in connectivity between the cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus with the striatum, as well as within the basal ganglia (striatum—globus pallidus—subthalamic nucleus—substantia nigra—thalamus).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Biological sex and left/right hemisphere affected tractographic results, potentially reflecting different stages of disease progression. This proof‐of‐principle study indicates that diffusion MRI and tractography potentially provide novel biomarkers that connect volumetric changes across different brain regions. In a translation setting, these measurements constitute a novel tool to assess the therapeutic impact of interventions such as neuroprotective agents in transgenic models, as well as patients with Huntington's disease.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Data from: Investigating the human and non-obese diabetic mouse MHC class II immunopeptidome using protein language modelling.

<p><strong>Background</strong>: Identifying peptides associated with the major histocompability complex class II (MHCII) is a central task in the evaluation of the immunoregulatory function of therapeutics and drug prototypes. MHCII-peptide presentation prediction has multiple biopharmaceutical applications, including the safety assessment of biologics and engineered derivatives&nbsp;in silico, or the fast progression of antigen-specific immunomodulatory drug discovery programs in immune disease and cancer. This has resulted in the collection of large&ndash;scale data sets on adaptive immune receptor antigenic responses and MHC-associated peptide proteomics. In parallel, recent deep learning algorithmic advances in natural language processing (NLP) and protein language modelling (PLM) have shown potential in leveraging large collections of sequence data and improve MHC presentation prediction. <strong>Methodology</strong>: We trained a compact transformer model (AEGIS) on human and mouse MHCII immunopeptidome data, including a preclinical murine model, and evaluated its performance on the peptide presentation prediction task. <strong>Data</strong>:&nbsp;The data and models used in&nbsp;AEGIS are contained in the uploaded tar files. <strong>Results</strong>:&nbsp;The transformer performs on par with existing deep learning algorithms and that combining datasets from multiple organisms increases model performance (see preprint). We trained variants of the model with and without MHCII information. In both alternatives, the inclusion of peptides presented by the I-Ag7&nbsp;MHC class II molecule expressed by the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice enabled the&nbsp;in silico&nbsp;prediction of presented peptides in a preclinical type 1 diabetes model organism, which has promising therapeutic applications.</p>

Late gene therapy limits the restoration of retinal function in a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa

<p><span>Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited photoreceptor degeneration that begins with rod loss followed by cone loss. This cell loss greatly diminishes vision, with most patients becoming legally blind. Gene therapies are being developed, but it is unknown how retinal function depends on the time of intervention. To uncover this dependence, we utilize a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa capable of artificial genetic rescue. This model enables a benchmark of best-case gene therapy by removing variables that complicate the ability to answer this vital question. Complete genetic rescue was performed at 25%, 50%, and 70% rod loss (early, mid, and late, respectively). Here we show early- and mid-treatment restores retinal function to near wild-type levels, specifically the sensitivity and signal fidelity of retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina. However, some anatomical defects persist. Late treatment retinas exhibit continued, albeit slowed, loss of sensitivity and signal fidelity among retinal ganglion cells, as well as persistent gliosis. We conclude that gene replacement therapies delivered after 50% rod loss are unlikely to restore visual function to normal. This is critical information for administering gene therapies to rescue vision.</span></p>
