Mitochondria are swollen, show altered respiratory rates, and their inner membrane is leaking protons. To advance the understanding of these disturbances and clarify their link to redox impairment and oxidative stress, we assessed mitochondrial respiration in defined brain regions and cardiac tissue of male wildtype (WT) and MeCP2-deficient (Mecp2-/y) mice. Also, we quantified for the first time neuronal redox-balance with subcellular resolution in cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Quantitative roGFP1 redox imaging revealed more oxidized conditions in the cytosol of Mecp2-/y hippocampal neurons than in WT neurons. Furthermore, cytosol and mitochondria of Mecp2-/y neurons showed exaggerated redox-responses to hypoxia and cell-endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. Biochemical analyzes exclude disease-related increases in mitochondrial mass in Mecp2-/y hippocampus and cortex. Protein levels of complex I core constituents were slightly lower in Mecp2-/y hippocampus and cortex than in WT; those of complex V were lower in Mecp2-/y cortex. Respiratory supercomplex-formation did not differ among genotypes. Yet, supplied with the complex II substrate succinate, mitochondria of Mecp2-/y cortex and hippocampus consumed more O2 than WT. Furthermore, mitochondria from Mecp2-/y hippocampus and cortex mediated an enhanced oxidative burden. In conclusion, we further advanced the molecular understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in RTT. Intensified mitochondrial O2 consumption, increased mitochondrial ROS generation and disturbed redox balance in mitochondria and cytosol may represent a causal chain, which provokes dysregulated proteins, oxidative tissue damage, and contributes to neuronal network dysfunction in RTT."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fphys.2019.00479"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31114506"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16085"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59907"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1286.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/12"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286: Quantitative Synaptologie"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | A06: Mitochondrienfunktion und -umsatz in Synapsen"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Rehling (Mitochondrial Protein Biogenesis)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","573"],["dc.subject.ddc","612"],["dc.title","Neuronal Redox-Imbalance in Rett Syndrome Affects Mitochondria as Well as Cytosol, and Is Accompanied by Intensified Mitochondrial O2 Consumption and ROS Release"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Evidence for impaired mitochondrial function is also accumulating. A subunit of complex III is among the potentially dys-regulated genes, the inner mitochondrial membrane is leaking protons, brain ATP levels seem reduced, and Rett patient blood samples confirm increased oxidative damage. We therefore screened for mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired redox balance. In hippocampal slices of a Rett mouse model (Mecp2(-/y)) we detected an increased FAD/NADH baseline-ratio indicating intensified oxidization. Cyanide-induced anoxia caused similar decreases in FAD/NADH ratio and mitochondrial membrane potential in both genotypes, but Mecp2(-/y) mitochondria seemed less polarized. Quantifying cytosolic redox balance with the genetically-encoded optical probe roGFP1 confirmed more oxidized baseline conditions, a more vulnerable redox-balance, and more intense responses of Mecp2(-/y) hippocampus to oxidative challenge and mitochondrial impairment. Trolox treatment improved the redox baseline of Mecp2(-/y) hippocampus and dampened its exaggerated responses to oxidative challenge. Microarray analysis of the hippocampal CA1 subfield did not detect alterations of key mitochondrial enzymes or scavenging systems. Yet, quantitative PCR confirmed a moderate upregulation of superoxide dismutase 1 in Mecp2(-/y) hippocampus, which might be a compensatory response to the increased oxidative burden. Since several receptors and ion-channels are redox-modulated, the mitochondrial and redox changes which already manifest in neonates could contribute to the hyperexcitability and diminished synaptic plasticity in MeCP2 deficiency. Therefore, targeting cellular redox balance might qualify as a potential pharmacotherapeutic approach to improve neuronal network function in Rett syndrome."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.nbd.2012.06.007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22750529"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15855"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1095-953X"],["dc.title","Oxidative burden and mitochondrial dysfunction in a mouse model of Rett syndrome"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The almost exclusively female Rett patients show an apparently normal development during their first 6-18 months of life. Subsequently, cognitive- and motor-impairment, hand stereotypies, loss of learned skills, epilepsy and irregular breathing manifest. Early mitochondrial impairment and oxidative challenge are considered to facilitate disease progression. Along this line, we recently confirmed in vitro that acute treatment with the vitamin E-derivative Trolox dampens neuronal hyperexcitability, reinstates synaptic plasticity, ameliorates cellular redox balance and improves hypoxia tolerance in male MeCP2-deficient (Mecp2-/y ) mouse hippocampus. Pursuing these promising findings, we performed a preclinical study to define the merit of systemic Trolox administration. Blinded, placebo-controlled in vivo treatment of male mice started at postnatal day (PD) 10-11 and continued for ~40 days. Compounds (vehicle only, 10 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg Trolox) were injected intraperitoneally every 48 h. Detailed phenotyping revealed that in Mecp2-/y mice, blood glucose levels, lipid peroxidation, synaptic short-term plasticity, hypoxia tolerance and certain forms of environmental exploration were improved by Trolox. Yet, body weight and size, motor function and the rate and regularity of breathing did not improve. In conclusion, in vivo Trolox treatment partially ameliorated a subset of symptoms of the complex Rett phenotype, thereby confirming a partial merit of the vitamin E-derivative based pharmacotherapy. Yet, it also became evident that frequent animal handling and the route of drug administration are critical issues to be optimized in future trials."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2016"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fncel.2016.00266"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27895554"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13968"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15847"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Systemic Radical Scavenger Treatment of a Mouse Model of Rett Syndrome: Merits and Limitations of the Vitamin E Derivative Trolox"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
