Opa1 deficiency in a mouse model of autosomal dominant optic atrophy impairs mitochondrial morphology, optic nerve structure and visual function
Open accessAbstract
OPA1 is a ubiquitously expressed, nuclear dynamin-related GTPase, targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which plays a role in mitochondrial fusion. Mutations in the OPA1 gene on chromosome 3q28-qter are associated with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic neuropathy, in which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are lost and visual acuity is impaired from an early age. We have generated a novel ENU-induced mutant mouse carrying a protein-truncating nonsense mutation in opa1 in order to explore the pathophysiology of ADOA. The heterozygous mutation, B6; C3-Opa1(Q285STOP), located in exon 8 immediately before the central dynamin-GTPase, leads to approximately 50% reduction in opa1 protein in retina and all tissues on western analysis. The homozygous mutation is embryonic lethal by 13.5 days post coitum, demonstrating the importance of Opa1 during early development. Fibroblasts taken from adult heterozygous mutant mice show an apparent alteration in morphology, with an increase in mitochondrial fission and fragmentation. Heterozygous mutants show a slow onset of degeneration in the optic nerve electron microscopy. Furthermore, they demonstrate a functional reduction in visual function on testing with the optokinetic drum and the circadian running wheel. These findings indicate that the opa1 GTPase contains crucial information required for the survival of RGCs and that Opa1 is essential for early embryonic survival. The Opa1 +/- mice described here provide a means to directly investigate the cellular pathophysiology of OPA1 ADOA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
