Peripherin-2 (PRPH2) is a photoreceptor-specific tetraspanin protein that structures the disk rim membranes of rod and cone outer segment (OS) organelles, and is required for OS morphogenesis. PRPH2 is noteworthy for its broad spectrum of disease phenotypes; both inter- and intra-familial heterogeneity have been widely observed and this variability in disease expression and penetrance confounds efforts to understand genotype-phenotype correlations and pathophysiology. Here we report the generation and initial characterization of a gene-edited animal model for PRPH2 disease associated with a nonsense mutation (c.1095:C>A, p.Y285X), which is predicted to truncate the peripherin-2 C-terminal domain. Young (P21) Prph2Y285X/WT mice developed near-normal photoreceptor numbers; however, OS membrane architecture was disrupted, OS protein levels were reduced, and in vivo and ex vivo electroretinography (ERG) analyses found that rod and cone photoreceptor function were each severely reduced. Interestingly, ERG studies also revealed that rod-mediated downstream signaling (b-waves) were functionally compensated in the young animals. This resiliency in retinal function was retained at P90, by which time substantial IRD-related photoreceptor loss had occurred. Altogether, the current studies validate a new mouse model for investigating PRPH2 disease pathophysiology, and demonstrate that rod and cone photoreceptor function and structure are each directly and substantially impaired by the Y285X mutation. They also reveal that Prph2 mutations can induce a functional compensation that resembles homeostatic plasticity, which can stabilize rod-derived signaling, and potentially dampen retinal dysfunction during some PRPH2-associated IRDs.</p>","PeriodicalId":13070,"journal":{"name":"Human molecular genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11540925/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142132582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that these mice exhibit olivary hypertrophy, a phenotype reminiscent of a degenerative disorder known as hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD). Similar to early stages of HOD, SCA1-KI IO neurons display early dendritic lengthening and later somatic expansion without frank cell loss. Though HOD is known to be caused by brainstem lesions that disrupt IO inhibitory innervation, we observe no loss of inhibitory terminals in the SCA1-KI IO. Additionally, we find that a separate mouse model of SCA1 in which mutant ATXN1 is expressed solely in cerebellar Purkinje cells shows no evidence of olivary hypertrophy. Patch-clamp recordings from brainstem slices indicate that SCA1-KI IO neurons are hyperexcitable, generating spike trains in response to membrane depolarization. Transcriptome analysis further reveals reduced medullary expression of ion channels responsible for IO neuron spike afterhyperpolarization (AHP)-a result that appears to have a functional consequence, as SCA1-KI IO neuron spikes exhibit a diminished AHP.

Here, we present a Drosophila model of ASM loss-of-function, lacking the fly orthologue of SMPD1, dASM, modelling several aspects of the respiratory pathology of NPD. dASM is expressed in the late-embryonic fly respiratory network, the trachea, and is secreted into the tracheal lumen. Loss of dASM results in embryonic lethality, and the tracheal lumen fails to fill normally with gas prior to eclosion. We demonstrate that the endocytic clearance of luminal constituents prior to gas-filling is defective in dASM mutants, and is coincident with autophagic, but not lysosomal defects, in late stage embryonic trachea. Finally, we show that although bulk sphingolipids are unchanged, dietary loss of lipids in combination with genetic and pharmacological block of ceramide synthesis rescues the airway gas-filling defects.
