Age-specific autistic-like behaviors in heterozygous Fmr1-KO female mice / Manon GAUDUCHEAU in Autism Research, 10-6 (June 2017)

Surprisingly, most existing studies on the Fmr1-KO mouse model for FXS have focused on males, although FX women, who are mostly heterozygous for the Fmr1 mutation, are known to exhibit several behavioral deficits, including autistic-like features. Furthermore, most animal research has been carried out on adults only; so that little is known about the age progression of the behavioral phenotype of Fmr1 mutants, which is a crucial issue to optimize the impact of therapeutic interventions. Here, we performed an extensive analysis of autistic-like social behaviors in heterozygous (HET) Fmr1-KO females and their WT littermates at different ages. No behavioral difference between HET and WT mice was observed at infancy, but some abnormalities in social interaction and communication were first detected at juvenile age. At adulthood some of these alterations disappeared, but avoidance of social novelty appeared, together with other FXS-relevant behavioral deficits, such as hyperactivity and reduced contextual fear response. Our data provide for the first time evidence for the presence of autistic-relevant behavioral abnormalities in Fmr1-HET female mice, demonstrating the utility of this mouse line to model autistic-like behaviors in both sexes. These results also highlight the importance of taking into account age differences when using the Fmr1-KO mouse model, suggesting that the early post-natal phases are the most promising target for preventive interventions and the adult age is the most appropriate to investigate the behavioral impact of potential therapies.

Communication and social interaction in the cannabinoid-type 1 receptor null mouse: Implications for autism spectrum disorder / W. FYKE in Autism Research, 14-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-9 (September 2021) . - p.1854-1872 Titre : Communication and social interaction in the cannabinoid-type 1 receptor null mouse: Implications for autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : W. FYKE, Auteur ; M. PREMOLI, Auteur ; V. ECHEVERRY ALZATE, Auteur ; J. A. LÓPEZ-MORENO, Auteur ; Valerie LEMAIRE-MAYO, Auteur ; Wim E. CRUSIO, Auteur ; G. MARSICANO, Auteur ; M. WOHR, Auteur ; S. PIETROPAOLO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1854-1872 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animals  Autism Spectrum Disorder/genetics  Communication  Disease Models, Animal  Female  Male  Mice  Mice, Knockout  Receptor, Cannabinoid, CB1/genetics  Social Behavior  Social Interaction  cannabinoid receptor  mouse models  phenotype  sex differences  ultrasounds Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Clinical and preclinical findings have suggested a role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the etiopathology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous mouse studies have investigated the role of ECS in several behavioral domains; however, none of them has performed an extensive assessment of social and communication behaviors, that is, the main core features of ASD. This study employed a mouse line lacking the primary endocannabinoid receptor (CB1r) and characterized ultrasonic communication and social interaction in CB1(-/-) , CB1(+/-) , and CB1(+/+) males and females. Quantitative and qualitative alterations in ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) were observed in CB1 null mice both during early development (i.e., between postnatal days 4 and 10), and at adulthood (i.e., at 3 months of age). Adult mutants also showed marked deficits in social interest in the three-chamber test and social investigation in the direct social interaction test. These behavioral alterations were mostly observed in both sexes and appeared more marked in CB1(-/-) than CB1(+/-) mutant mice. Importantly, the adult USV alterations could not be attributed to differences in anxiety or sensorimotor abilities, as assessed by the elevated plus maze and auditory startle tests. Our findings demonstrate the role of CB1r in social communication and behavior, supporting the use of the CB1 full knockout mouse in preclinical research on these ASD-relevant core domains. LAY SUMMARY: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is important for brain development and neural function and is therefore likely to be involved in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Here we investigated changes in social behavior and communication, which are core features of ASD, in male and female mice lacking the chief receptor of this system. Our results show that loss of this receptor results in several changes in social behavior and communication both during early development and in adulthood, thus supporting the role of the ECS in these ASD-core behavioral domains.
