Expression of dystrophin Dp71 splice variants Is temporally regulated during rodent brain development

Cyrille Vaillend

Résumé

Dystrophin Dp71 is the major product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy ( DMD ) gene in the brain, and its loss in DMD patients and mouse models leads to cognitive impairments. Dp71 is expressed as a range of proteins generated by alternative splicing of exons 71 to 74 and 78, classified in the main Dp71d and Dp71f groups that contain specific C-terminal ends. However, it is unknown whether each isoform has a specific role in distinct cell types, brain regions, and/or stages of brain development. In the present study, we characterized the expression of Dp71 isoforms during fetal (E10.5, E15.5) and postnatal (P1, P7, P14, P21 and P60) mouse and rat brain development. We finely quantified the expression of several Dp71 transcripts by RT-PCR and cloning assays in samples from whole-brain and distinct brain structures. The following Dp71 transcripts were detected: Dp71d, Dp71d$_{∆71}$ , Dp71d$_{∆74}$ , Dp71d$_{∆71,74}$ , Dp71d$_{∆71,74}$ , Dp71f, Dp71f$_{∆71}$ , Dp71f$_{∆74}$ , Dp71f$_{∆71,74}$ , and Dp71f$_{∆71,74}$ . We found that the Dp71f isoform is the main transcript expressed at E10.5 (> 80%), while its expression is then progressively reduced and replaced by the expression of isoforms of the Dp71d group from E15.5 to postnatal and adult ages. This major finding was confirmed by third-generation nanopore sequencing. In addition, we found that the level of expression of specific Dp71 isoforms varies as a function of postnatal stages and brain structure. Our results suggest that Dp71 isoforms have different and complementary roles during embryonic and postnatal brain development, likely taking part in a variety of maturation processes in distinct cell types.
