Mice with altered serotonin 2C receptor RNA editing display characteristics of Prader–Willi syndrome

Abstract: RNA transcripts encoding the 2C-subtype of serotonin (5HT 2C ) receptor undergo up to five adenosine-to-inosine editing events to encode twenty-four protein isoforms. To examine the effects of altered 5HT 2C editing in vivo, we generated mutant mice solely expressing the fullyedited (VGV) isoform of the receptor. Mutant animals present phenotypic characteristics of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) including a failure to thrive, decreased somatic growth, neonatal muscular hypotonia, and reduced food consumption foll… Show more

“…Within this 62.5-Mb interval lay 358 protein-coding and 22 miRNA genes, three of which had previously been described to affect coat pigmentation when mutated in the mouse (Atp7a, Eda, and Htr2c). As a result of an absence of ectodermal dysplasia phenotypes [commonly associated with Eda mutants (34)] or postnatal growth retardation [as seen in an Htr2c mutant (35)], all coding exons and splice junctions of Atp7a were sequenced. A single T-to-C missense transition was detected at X:103283830, corresponding to position 1570 of the Atp7a transcript, in exon 5 of 23 total exons (Fig.…”

“…5-HT receptor proteins were isolated from RPTCs as previously described (Morabito et al, 2010). A 30-mg sample of the resulting protein was then treated with either N-glycosidase F (PNGase) (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA) according to the manufacturer's instructions or temperaturematched control conditions for 2 hours, then loaded onto an SDS-PAGE gel.…”

“…The density of 5-HT2C increases in VGV transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice (25). Although it is expected that responsiveness attenuates in the VGV type from the above-mentioned molecular knowledge, the 5-HT2C-related responses for the agonist actually increase in the VGV animal model.…”

“…MBII-52 combines with the 5-HT2C mRNA in that region and promotes receptor-type splicing. In PraderWilli syndrome (PWS), which results in obesity, short stature, poor muscle tone and other symptoms, the genomic DNA domain encoding the MBII-52 (15q11-13 in human) is lacking (42); therefore, the editing and expression of 5-HT2C receptor-type mRNAs are influenced (25). Because the 5-HT2C knockout mouse becomes obese, the participation of these will be determined.…”
