Abstract

Patients with germline mutations in the urea-cycle enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) are at risk for developing neurobehavioral and cognitive deficits. We find that ASL is prominently expressed in the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC), the central source of norepinephrine. Using natural history data, we show that individuals with ASL deficiency are at risk for developing attention deficits. By generating LC-ASL-conditional knockout (cKO) mice, we further demonstrate altered response to stressful stimuli with increased seizure reactivity in LC-ASL-cKO mice. Depletion of ASL in LC neurons leads to reduced amount and activity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and to decreased catecholamines synthesis, due to decreased nitric oxide (NO) signaling. NO donors normalize catecholamine levels in the LC, seizure sensitivity, and the stress response in LC-ASL-cKO mice. Our data emphasize ASL importance for the metabolic regulation of LC function with translational relevance for ASL deficiency (ASLD) patients as well as for LC-related pathologies.

Keywords: ASL; locus coeruleus; nitric oxide; stress response; tyrosine hydroxylase; urea cycle disorders.

ASL Regulates TH Levels by Regulating NO Availability (A) NO levels measurement using DAF-FM probe demonstrates significantly reduced NO levels in the LC of Aslf/f,Ai9f/f;TH Cre+/− mice as compared to Ai9f/f;TH Cre+/− control mice (each experiment was performed with pair of control and Aslf/f,Ai9f/f;TH Cre+/− mice; n = 3). (B) Knockdown of ASL in SH-SY5Y neurons using three different lentiviral ASL-shRNA clones associates with downregulation in TH mRNA levels. (C) shASL SH-SY5Y neurons have significantly reduced nitrosylation of GAPDH (left) and of TH (right; measurement was performed ≥3 times). (D) NO donors’ supplementation to SH-SY5Y neurons rescues the differences in GAPDH (left) and TH (right) nitrosylation between shASL and shGFP control neurons. (E) Treatment of shASL neurons with NO donors normalizes TH mRNA levels to that of shGFP control neurons (n ≥ 3; one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni). Data represent mean ± SEM (∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01).

Phenotypic Consequences of ASL Deficiency in LC (A) Measured mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels following induction of acute stress by exposure to intruder mice. The increase in blood pressure levels following stress is higher in Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice and requires a longer recovery time as compared to Aslf/f control and to endothelial-ASL cKO mice (n ≥ 8 in each group; repeated-measures two-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc t tests). (B) Continuous blood pressure measurement during the first 3 h after stress induction demonstrates a significantly higher blood pressure in Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice as compared to Aslf/f control mice (n ≥ 8 in each group). (C and D) Open-field test locomotor evaluation. Following stressful stimuli, Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice present increase locomotor activity as indicated in distance (C) and speed (D), in comparison to Aslf/f control mice. Following treatment with NO donors, Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice response to stressful stimuli is similar to that of Aslf/f control mice (n ≥ 11 in each group; non-repeated-measures two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc t tests). (E) Seizure score after injection of 50 mg/kg PTZ is higher in Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice as compared to Aslf/f control mice. Following treatment with NO donor, there was no significant difference in the seizure reaction to injection between the two genotypes (n = 6 in each group). (F) Kaplan Meier estimator presenting the probability of mice to develop myoclonic jerks from the time of PTZ injection. Aslf/f;TH Cre+/− mice have more than 4-fold chance of developing myoclonic jerks as compared to Aslf/f control mice. Data represent mean ± SEM (∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001).
