Mice polytransgenic for chromosome 21 genes DSCR3, 5, 6, 9, and TTC3 within the Down Syndrome Critical Region-1 represent an animal model for Down Syndrome (DS). In a proteomic approach, we show a series of altered hippocampal protein levels that may be caused by overexpression of at least one of the five chromosome 21 genes and that fit fear- conditioned memory defects and were observed to be dysregulated in human fetal DS.

Introduction Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21) is the most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation with an incidence of 1 in 700 life births.1 Although DS involves dysmorphic features, which collectively constitute its distinctive physical phenotype, endocardial and immunological defects, haematological and endocrinal alterations, behavioral and cognitive deficits, mental retardation, and hypotonia,1 no pathomechanism for the development of the DS phenotype has been described so far. A large series of neurochemical changes have been reported at the nucleic acid and protein level2,3,4 indicating the complexity of the problem. The concept of the gene dosage hypothesis claims that three copies of chromosome 21 (HSA21) lead to overexpression of chromosome 21 gene products and these in turn are responsible for the DS phenotype.1 Moreover, according to another hypothesis, triplication of a so-called Down Syndrome Critical Chromosomal Region-1 (DCR-1) may account for a part of the DS phenotype.5 This 2 Mb spanning region of HSA21 surrounding D21S55 at 21q22.2 harbors several genes that may well be the structures whose alteration could lead to neurological deficits. Smith and co-workers therefore generated several nonmosaic polytransgenic mouse strains (PTGs), 141G6, 285E6, 230E8, and 152F7, by inserting yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) containing a fragment of the human DCR-1 region into the murine genome.6 These mice with triplicated gene groups were tested for neurological and behavioral deficits. Strain 152F7 presented strong learning impairment and hyperactivity during develop* To whom correspondence should be addressed.

ment and extended brain abnormalities, probably due to overexpressed DYRK1A, a dual-specificity tyrosine (Y) regulated kinase involved in a major signaling cascade in the brain.7 Strain141G6, lines 4 and 28, contain one or three copies of YAC carrying the human genes DSCR3 (91.9% identiy/296 amino acids (a.a) to mouse DSCR3), DSCR5 (91.7% identity/132 a.a to mouse DSCR5), DSCR6 (68.5% identity/143 a.a to mouse DSCR6), DSCR9 (52.9% identity/68 a.a to Retrovirus-related POL polyprotein (P11369)) and tetratricopeptide repeat domain 3 (TTC3, 76% identity/2005 a.a to mouse TTC3), genes with so far unknown or poorly defined function. Previous work showed no cognitive defect by using a Morris water maze paradigm but lower performance in fear-conditioning against sound as acoustic conditional stimulus.8 For strain 141G6 (line 28), our experiments (unpublished results) on rota rod, Morris water maze, multiple T-maze, open field, elevated plus maze and a comprehensive neurological observational battery showed no significant neurological, cognitive or behavioral deficits. However, when these mice were analyzed for brain (hippocampal) protein profiling, significant changes in the expression of proteins involved in diverse biological functions were detectable. None of these changes seems able to produce strong cognitive impairment in our test system.

Experimental Section Animals. Transgenic mice were of an FVB inbred background as described by Smith et al.6,9 All animal handling and experimental procedures were performed at the University of Paris 7 in accordance with the European Communities Council Directives. We used 10 nontransgenic (wild-type, WT) males as controls and we tested the males at 3 months. PCR genotyping was performed with oligonucleotides chosen in DSCR9 sequence (a primate-specific gene). The primer sequences used are indicated in Table 1. Proteomics experiments were performed on 141G6 (line 28) and RNA quantification was 10.1021/pr050235f CCC: $33.50

performed on 141G6 mice (lines 28 and 4), both lines carrying the same YAC 141G6. Gene Dosage Analysis. For qPCR gene dosage the reference oligonucleotides (lzst-F and lzst-R) were chosen at the lzst-like locus (MMU 11) (Table 1). The target oligonucleotides (TTC3-F and TTC3-R) were chosen for YAC 141G6 at the TTC3 locus (MMU16 and HSA21). In 141G6 (line 28), TTC3 copy number was found equal to 5 with a ratio 141G6/WT equal to 2.5. In 141G6 (line 4) TTC3 copy number was found equal to 8 with a ratio 141G6/WT equal to 4. Quantitative PCR Expression Analysis. Poly A1 RNA was prepared from hippocampi and thalami of adult mice by using the Fast Track kit (Invitrogen, Cergy Pontoise, France). After a DNAse purification step (Qiagen, Courtaboeuf, France), RNA concentrations were spectrophotometrically assessed. Reverse transcription (RT) was performed using the Retroscript kit with random decamers (Ambion, Huntingdon, UK). From a total volume of 50 µL per cDNA, 8 µL were used to prepare 5 dilutions that were used in the real-time PCR reaction. For gene expression assays the reference oligonucleotides were chosen at crossing point (Cp) levels equivalent to those observed for the target, lzst1 (MMU8) or GAPD (Table 1). The target oligonucleotides for human/mouse DSCR3 (HAS21/MMU16), PGK1 (MMUX), or CaMKII (MMU18) were mentioned (Table 1). Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (2-DE). Mouse hippocampus tissues were suspended in 1 mL of sample buffer consisting of 40 mM Tris, 7 M urea (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 2 M thiourea (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), 4% CHAPS (3[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate) (Sigma), 65 mM DTT (Merck), and 1 mM EDTA, protease inhibitors cocktail (Roche) and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl chloride. The suspension was sonicated for approximately 30 s and centrifuged at 150 000 × g for 60 min. The protein content in the supernatant was determined by the Coomassie blue method.10 2-DE was performed essentially as reported.11 Samples of 0.7 mg protein were applied on immobilized pH 3-10 nonlinear gradient strips (18 cm). Focusing started at 200V and the voltage was gradually increased to 8000 V at 3 V/min (approximately 180 000 Vh total). After the first dimension,

research articles strips were equilibrated for 15 min in the equilibration buffer containing 6 M urea, 20% glycerol, 2% SDS, 2% DTT and then for 15 min in the same equilibration buffer containing 2.5% iodoacetamide instead of DTT. After equilibration, strips were loaded on 9-16% gradient SDS gels for second-dimensional separation. The gels (180 × 200 × 1.5 mm) were run at 40 mA per gel. Immediately after the second dimension run, gels were fixed for 18 h in 50% methanol, containing 10% acetic acid, the gels were then stained with Colloidal Coomassie Blue (Novex, San Diego, CA) for 5 h on a rocking shaker. Molecular masses were determined by running standard protein markers (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) covering the range 10250 kDa. pI values were used as given by the supplier of the immobilized pH gradient strips (Amersham Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden). Gels were destained with H2O and scanned with ImageScanner (Amersham bioscience). Images were processed using Photoshop (Adobe) and PowerPoint (Microsoft) software. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF). Spots were excised with spot picker (PROTEINEER sp, Bruker Daltonics, Germany), placed into 96-well microtiter plates. In-gel digestion and MALDI sample preparation were performed by Digestion kit (Bruker Daltonics, Germany) and an automated procedure (PROTEINEER dp, Bruker Daltonics, Germany). Briefly, spots were excised and washed with 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate and 50% acetonitrile in 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate. After washing, the gel plugs were shrunk by addition of acetonitrile and dried by blowing out the liquid through the pierced well bottom. Dried gel pieces were reswollen with 35 ng/mL trypsin in 4 µL enzyme buffer (consisting of 5 mM octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (OGP) and 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate) and incubated for 4 h at 30 °C. Peptide extraction was performed with 15 µL/spot of 1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA is highly corrosive and acute toxic through inhalationa and work was carried out in compliance with. Material Safety Data Sheets, www.msdsonline.com) in 5mM OGP. Extracted peptides were directly applied onto a target (AnchorChip, Bruker Daltonics) loaded with R-cyano-4hydroxycinnamic acid (Bruker Daltonics) matrix (20 mg/mL solution in acetone - 0.1% TFA 97:3 v/v). MALDI-MS(/MS) data were obtained using an Ultraflex TOF/TOF (Bruker Daltonics) equipped with a LIFT-MS/MS facility controlled by the FlexControl 2.0 software package. An accelerating voltage of 25 kV was used for protein mass fingerprinting (PMF). For fragment ion analysis in the tandem TOF/TOF mode, precursors were accelerated by 8 kV and selected in a timed ion gate. Fragment ions generated by laser-induced post-source decomposition of the precursor were further accelerated by 19 kV in the LIFT cell and their masses were analyzed after passing the ion reflector. Measurements were in part performed using postLIFT metastable suppression, which allowed removal of precursor and metastable ion signals produced after extraction out of the second ion source. Masses were annotated and processed with FlexAnalysis 2.0. External calibration of MALDI-TOF mass spectra was performed using singly charged monoisotopic peaks of a mixture of angiotensin I, angiotensin II, substance P, bombesin, and adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH 1-17 and 18-39) (Bruker Daltonics). For MALDI-MS/MS, calibrations were performed with fragment ion spectra obtained for the proton adducts of these peptides. Each MS spectrum was produced by accumulating data from 200 consecutive laser shots and spectra were interpreted with the aid of the Mascot Software (Matrix Science Ltd, London, UK).

a mass tolerance of 25 ppm and 1 missing cleavage site was allowed and oxidation of methionine residues was considered. The probability score calculated by the software was used as criterion for correct identification.12,13 Quantification of Protein Spots. Protein spots were outlined (first automatically and then manually) and quantified using the ImageMaster 2D Elite software (Amersham Pharmacia Biotechnology). The intensity and volume of spots were determined and each spot was normalized in comparison with the total intensity and volume of all spots in the 2-DE gel. The percentage of volume was measured by multiplying 100 to normalized value. Statistical Analysis. Protein abundance is expressed as means ( standard deviation (SD) of percentage of the spot volume in each particular gel after subtraction of the background intensity. Between-group differences were analyzed using Student’s t-test. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Database Searches. The protein-protein interaction database DIP14 was employed to detect experimentally proven interaction between altered proteins and hypothetical proteins (HPs) observed herein with all proteins from the database. HPs were identified by MASCOT software directly from the server used for MALDI-identification and by MS-FIT15 searches. Alignments of protein sequences of HP were performed with several BLAST and domain search programs.16

Results Quantitative RT-PCR Assessment of mRNA Levels. To differentiate between transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of protein levels we used quantitative RT-PCR experiments. We first assessed the level of one of the genes carried by the YAC transgene (namely, DSCR3) and one gene (DYRK1A) outside of the transgene. This was done by using oligonucleotides amplifying both mouse and human cDNA and comparing WT (with only mouse transcripts) and transgenic mouse (with mouse and human transcripts). The level of DSCR3 gene was increased by 3.5-5.6 times in the hippocampus and thalamus of lines 28 and 4 (strain 141G6), respectively, corresponding to an increase of expression above the increase of the gene copy number. In contrast, the ratio for DYRK1A, present in two copies only, was equal to 1 (Figure 1A). To differentiate between transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of the non- transgenic proteins, we have chosen two genes encoding the phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II alpha chains (CaMKII) whose protein levels were shown to be decreased in 141G6 mice (line 28): Although mRNA steady state levels for DSCR3 were clearly increased, mRNA levels for PGK1 and CaMKII remained unchanged (Figure 1B). Mouse Hippocampal Proteins on 2-DE Gels. Mouse hippocampal proteins were solubilized in the IEF-compatible reagents urea, thiourea and CHAPS and analyzed by 2-DE gels. 2-DE separation was performed on broad pH range IPG strips and protein spots were visualized following staining with colloidal Coomassie blue. A large series of high abundance (i.e., Coomassie-blue stained) proteins of several categories such as antioxidant, cytoskeleton, chaperone, metabolism, nucleic acidbinding, proteosome, signaling, and HPs were successfully represented in 2-DE gels of control and 141G6 polytransgenic mice (Supplementary figure). Identification of Mouse Hippocampus Proteins. In total, 958 spots were analyzed in gels from 141G6 (line 28) mice, resulting 46

might be too low (low abundance proteins) to visualize them in 2-DE gel with Coomassie staining. Quantitative Variation of Proteins in WT and 141G6 Mice. Expression levels of a series of identified proteins were significantly altered in 141G6 mice. These proteins showing different expression levels can be assigned according to their functional categories (Table 2, Figure 2). Four HPs that were only predicted so far, based upon nucleic acid sequences, were shown to exist and two of them were found to be differentially expressed. They are presented herein with protein names, observed masses and peptide sequences (Table 3). Data mining showed low identities (24-48%) to known structures as shown by BLAST, structural and functional domain searches (Table 2, Supporting Information). All HPs were computed in the protein-protein interation database DIP and no experimentally proven interaction between these structures and other proteins encoded on human chromosome 21 or mouse chromosome 16 was documented.

Discussion Chromosome 21 is the smallest of the human autosomes constituting approximately 1∼1.5% of the haploid genome. The major part of chromosome 21 is the long arm (21q), essential for normal development and function, and harboring

almost all genes of known function, except ribosomal RNA.1 The current human chromosome 21 gene catalog17 (http:// chr21.molgen.mpg.de) contains 238 entries and 168 cognate mouse orthologues were identified. Among 168 genes, the expression of 158 unique genes (referred to as mmu21 genes) was explored by systematic in situ hybridization in neonatal brain (at postnatal day 2). Sixty percent of the mmu21 genes are expressed in discrete or whole brain sections.18 For generation of information on HSA21 gene function, gene targeting, and transgenesis of single genes have been used. Although most valuable, these approaches suffer from low throughput and can be replaced by creation of large deletion and large insert transgenesis. Herein, proteomic analysis was performed with polytrangenic mice containing a fragment of DCR-1. The open reading frame of DSCR3 shows significant homology to Hbeta58, a mouse gene essential for embryogenesis, PEP8, a yeast homologue of Hbeta58 and an expressed sequence tag of Arabidopsis thaliana, suggesting that DSCR3 has some important function conserved during the course of evolution.19 DSCR5 is a member of the GPI-GnT, the complex of enzymes realizing the first step in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor mode of protein binding to the plasma membrane.20 This protein consists of two N-terminal hydrophobic regions, one C-terminal hydrophilic region, two putative transmemJournal of Proteome Research • Vol. 5, No. 1, 2006 47

brane regions, and is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum.20 In humans, DSCR5 has been detected at the mRNA level in several tissues including fetal brain at a low level21 and it was overexpressed about 2-fold in fetal DS brain at the protein level.22 DSCR6 and DSCR9 with unknown function show no sequence-similarity by BLASTP nor a predicted motif by SMART program. PSORTII predicted a nuclear localization and its expression is detectable using Multiple Tissue cDNA panels in fetal kidney and fetal brain at high levels, suggesting a role in

early embryogenesis.21 However, expression of DSCR6 at the protein level was comparable between control and fetal DS brain.22 Tsukahara et al.23 recently isolated a human TTC3 gene, possessing a motif of the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) and examined the expression profile of mouse homologue (mtprd) of TTC3 in mouse embryos. In situ hybridization showed that mtprd is ubiquitously expressed in mouse embryos but predominantly in the central nervous system, including telencephalon, mesencephalon, and metencephalon.

research articles The main outcome of the study is that mice polytransgenic for five genes from DCR-1 and known to be of comparable cognitive function to control mice in terms of the Morris water maze but with a deficit in fear-conditioning performance8 reveal protein dysregulations in the hippocampus, the major structure for synaptic plasticity i.e., learning and memory formation. Methodologically, proteins were extracted from hippocampus, separated by 2-DE, and confidently identified by the use of MS and MS/MS.24,25 The protein map constructed was highly similar to rodent hippocampal proteomes12,13 identifying our proteomic approach as a reliable and reproducible analytical tool taking into account that some identified proteins could not be quantified due to technical reasons including poor separation. When dysregulated proteins in hippocampus of 141G6 mice were compared to those observed in human fetal or adult DS brain, several similarities could be detected: ES1 protein homologue [mitochondrial precursor],26 electrontransfer flavoprotein, a part of complex I of the respiratory chain,27,28 cytoskeleton elements,29-31 metabolically important structures such as aspartate aminotransferase [cytoplasmic],32 ATP synthase alpha chain,33 phosphoglycerate kinase 1,34,35 fructose biphosphate aldolase C,34 pyruvate kinase M2;32 miscellaneous structures such as dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 4,36 nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1,37 ubiquitincarboxyl-terminal hydrolase isoenzyme L138 were found with altered levels in 141G6 mice and human DS brain. Moreover, signaling proteins such as VDAC1 and VDAC239 and chaperones were dysregulated in both conditions.40 Protein levels of ES1 protein homologue [mitochondrial precursor] showing 92% identity to human ES1 protein homologue (P30042) encoded by HSA21 was upregulated in 141G6 mice hippocampus and human fetal DS brain.26 The protein level of “hypothetical haloacid dehalogenase/ epoxide hydrolase family containing” was increased in 141G6 mice. In context with electron-transfer flavoprotein and Fe-S protein, an ubiquinone-handling enzyme altered in 141G6 mice, this HP probably results in the dysregulation of antioxidant system in terms of increased lipid peroxidation (Table 2). HP “weakly similar to 2-hydroxyhepta-2,4-diene-1,7-dioate isomerase”, with a putative metabolic role, was confidently downregulated in 141G6 mice. This protein also contains a fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase domain as shown by the InterPro database (IPR002529) and its significant decrease may lead to disturbances of tyrosine metabolism in 141G6 mice. Aberrant protein expression of antioxidant, chaperone, cytoskeleton and metabolic pathways, nucleic acid binding and handling systems, and miscellaneous as well as hypothetical proteins may well lead to impairment of most of the cognitive functions. This is in disagreement with findings of own unpublished studies using the Morris water maze and the multiple T-maze. The explanation may be that threshold levels necessary to alter these functions were not surpassed or that these tests are not sensitive enough to detect minor loss of cognitive functions. In fear-conditioning, one of possible learning situations, the number of freezing episodes (NFE) in identical context did not differ between 141G6 and WT mice.8 However, NFE of 141G6 mice in altered context and in altered context plus conditioned stimulus (sound) significantly increased or decreased, respectively.8 The ability to inhibit the generalization of the stimulus reflects the degree of behavioral plasticity. In the altered context version of the fear-conditioning 52

task, success depends on the ability to inhibit freezing when the context has changed and to adjust behavior to the new conditions. This may be relevant for cognitive impairment of DS patients. And indeed, the level of CaMKII protein was found to be decreased in hippocampus of 141G6 mice. A modification of the CaMK-pathway has been previously shown to lead a downstream alteration of the CREB pathway associated with impairment of fear memory.41 We show here that at least one of the five transgenes is associated with alteration of hippocampal protein levels and might deregulate the production of CaMKII at the posttranscriptional level and that this modification alone or in conjunction with other modifications of proteins from the signaling pathway may well act specifically upon one type of memory involved in fear-conditioning. We here show that mice polytransgenic for five genes of the DCR-1 revealed protein dysregulation comparable to that observed in fetal DS brain. Furthermore, the finding of aberrant protein levels of CaMKII, mandatory for the generation of neuronal information storage and important for mechanisms of cognitive processes, may help to explain fear conditioning abnormalities in this mouse model for DS.
