Titre : Postweaning positive modulation of ?5GABAA receptors improves autism-like features in prenatal valproate rat model in a sex-specific manner Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anja SANTRAC, Auteur ; Dunja BIJELIC, Auteur ; Vladimir STEVANOVI?, Auteur ; Marija BANI?EVI?, Auteur ; Jovana ARAN?ELOVI?, Auteur ; Bojan BATINI?, Auteur ; Dishary SHARMIN, Auteur ; James M. COOK, Auteur ; Miroslav M. SAVI?, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.806-820 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animals Autism Spectrum Disorder/chemically induced/drug therapy Autistic Disorder Behavior, Animal/physiology Calcium/metabolism/pharmacology Disease Models, Animal Female Male Pregnancy Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects Rats Rats, Wistar Receptors, GABA-A/metabolism Social Behavior Valproic Acid/pharmacology gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Kcc2 Nkcc1 autism spectrum disorder neuron maturity valproic acid animal model ?5GABAA receptor Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as a common neurodevelopmental disorder that encompasses impairments in social communication and interaction, as well as repetitive and restrictive behavior, still awaits an effective treatment strategy. The involvement of GABAergic neurotransmission, and especially a deficit of GABA(A) receptors that contain the ?5 subunits, were implicated in pathogenesis of ASD. Therefore, we tested MP-III-022, a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) selective for ?5GABAA receptors, in Wistar rats prenatally exposed to valproic acid, as an animal model useful for studying ASD. Postweaning rats of both sexes were treated for 7?days with vehicle or MP-III-022 at two doses pharmacokinetically determined as selective, and thereafter tested in a behavioral battery (social interaction test, elevated plus maze, spontaneous locomotor activity, and standard and reverse Morris water maze). Additional rats were used for establishing a primary neuronal culture and performing calcium imaging, and determination of hippocampal mRNA levels of GABRA5, NKCC1, and KCC2. MP-III-022 prevented impairments in many parameters connected with social, repetitive and restrictive behavioral domains. The lower and higher dose was more effective in males and females, respectively. Intriguingly, MP-III-022 elicited certain changes in control animals similar to those manifested in valproate animals themselves. Behavioral results were mirrored in GABA switch and spontaneous neuronal activity, assessed with calcium imaging, and also in expression changes of three genes analyzed. Our data support a role of ?5GABAA receptors in pathophysiology of ASD, and suggest a potential application of selective PAMs in its treatment, that needs to be researched in a sex-specific manner. LAY SUMMARY: In rats prenatally exposed to valproate as a model of autism, a modulator of ?5GABAA receptors ameliorated social, repetitive and restrictive impairments, and, intriguingly, elicited certain autism-like changes in control rats. Behavioral results were mirrored in GABA switch and spontaneous neuronal activity, and partly in gene expression changes. This shows a role of ?5GABAA receptors in pathophysiology of ASD, and a potential application of their selective modulators in its treatment.

SÜDHOF, Auteur ; Marius WERNIG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 19 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animals Autism Spectrum Disorder/genetics Behavior, Animal/physiology Haploinsufficiency Mice Nerve Tissue Proteins/genetics Obesity Transcription Factors/genetics Autism Social behavior Transcription factor Ultrasonic vocalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The zinc finger domain containing transcription factor Myt1l is tightly associated with neuronal identity and is the only transcription factor known that is both neuron-specific and expressed in all neuronal subtypes. We identified Myt1l as a powerful reprogramming factor that, in combination with the proneural bHLH factor Ascl1, could induce neuronal fate in fibroblasts. Molecularly, we found it to repress many non-neuronal gene programs, explaining its supportive role to induce and safeguard neuronal identity in combination with proneural bHLH transcriptional activators. Moreover, human genetics studies found MYT1L mutations to cause intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder often coupled with obesity. METHODS: Here, we generated and characterized Myt1l-deficient mice. A comprehensive, longitudinal behavioral phenotyping approach was applied. RESULTS: Myt1l was necessary for survival beyond 24 h but not for overall histological brain organization. Myt1l heterozygous mice became increasingly overweight and exhibited multifaceted behavioral alterations. In mouse pups, Myt1l haploinsufficiency caused mild alterations in early socio-affective communication through ultrasonic vocalizations. In adulthood, Myt1l heterozygous mice displayed hyperactivity due to impaired habituation learning. Motor performance was reduced in Myt1l heterozygous mice despite intact motor learning, possibly due to muscular hypotonia. While anxiety-related behavior was reduced, acoustic startle reactivity was enhanced, in line with higher sensitivity to loud sound. Finally, Myt1l haploinsufficiency had a negative impact on contextual fear memory retrieval, while cued fear memory retrieval appeared to be intact. LIMITATIONS: In future studies, additional phenotypes might be identified and a detailed characterization of direct reciprocal social interaction behavior might help to reveal effects of Myt1l haploinsufficiency on social behavior in juvenile and adult mice. CONCLUSIONS: Behavioral alterations in Myt1l haploinsufficient mice recapitulate several clinical phenotypes observed in humans carrying heterozygous MYT1L mutations and thus serve as an informative model of the human MYT1L syndrome.
