Genotype- and sex-dependent effects of altered Cntnap2 expression on the function of visual cortical areas / L. B. TOWNSEND in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 9-1 (December 2017)
[article]
Titre : Genotype- and sex-dependent effects of altered Cntnap2 expression on the function of visual cortical areas Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : L. B. TOWNSEND, Auteur ; S. L. SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Cortical circuits Higher visual areas Intrinsic signal optical imaging Mouse models Sex Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heritable, heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that is four times more likely to affect males than females. Despite this overt sex bias, it is unclear how genetic mutations associated with ASD alter cortical circuitry to produce the behavioral phenotypes by which ASD is diagnosed. Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) is an ASD-associated gene, and while Cntnap2 knockout (KO) mice recapitulate many of the features of ASD, the effect on cortical circuitry is poorly understood. Moreover, although heterozygous (Het) mice are the more relevant genotype for ASD-linked CNTNAP2 mutations in humans, to our knowledge, no effects in Het mice have been previously reported. METHODS: Intrinsic signal optical imaging was used to measure functional visual responses in primary and higher visual cortical areas in male and female Cntnap2 KO, Het, and wild-type (WT) mice. Main effect of genotype was assessed with one-way ANOVA. Visual responses were also measured in P17-18 and P30-32 KO and WT mice. Main effects of age and genotype were assessed using two-way ANOVA. RESULTS: Visually evoked activity in dorsal stream associated higher visual areas in both KO and Het adult males was decreased relative to WT adult males. This decrease was not observed in adult females. Additionally, no significant difference was observed between WT and KO males at P17-18 with differences beginning to emerge at P30-32. CONCLUSIONS: The functional responses of cortical circuitry in male mice are more strongly affected by Cntnap2 mutations than females, an effect present even in Hets. The observed differences in males emerge with development beginning at P30-32. These results reveal genotype- and sex-dependent effects of altered Cntnap2 expression and can shed light on the sex-dependent incidence of ASD.
