- W2521630727 abstract "Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused mostly by disruption of the MECP2 gene. Among several RTT-like mouse models, one of them is a strain of mice that carries an R168X point mutation in Mecp2 and resembles one of the most common RTT-causing mutations in humans. Although several behavioral defects have previously been found in the Mecp2R168X/Y mice, alterations in nerve cells remain unknown. Here we compare several behavioral and cellular outcomes between this Mecp2R168X/Y model and a widely used Mecp2Bird/Y mouse model. With lower body weight and shorter lifespan than their wild-type littermates, the Mecp2R168X/Y mice showed impairments of breathing and motor function. Thus we studied brainstem CO2-chemosensitive neurons and propriosensory cells that are associated with these two functions, respectively. Neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) of both mutant strains showed defects in their intrinsic membrane properties, including changes in action potential morphology and excessive firing activity. Neurons in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (Me5) of both strains displayed a higher firing response to depolarization than their wild-type littermates, likely attributable to a lower firing threshold. Because the increased excitability in LC and Me5 neurons tends to impact the excitation-inhibition balances in brainstem neuronal networks as well as their associated functions, it is likely that the defects in the intrinsic membrane properties of these brainstem neurons contribute to the breathing abnormalities and motor dysfunction. Furthermore, our results showing comparable phenotypical outcomes of Mecp2R168X/Y mice with Mecp2Bird/Y mice suggest that both strains are valid animal models for RTT research." @default.
