1 Mouse model of human Barth syndrome Zaza Khuchua, PhD Cincinnati Children s Research Foundation Cincinnati, OH, USA Barry J. Byrne, MD, PhD University of Florida Department of Pediatrics Gainesville, FL, USA

2 Background Barth (BTHS) syndrome is X linked genetic disorder. Common symptoms include: Cardiomyopathy Skeletal myopathy Neutropenia 3 methylglutaconic aciduria BTHS caused by mutations in tafazzin (taz) gene. Taz gene is located on Xq28. Taz encodes mitochondrial acyltransferase. Mutations in taz gene cause cardiolipin deficiency. Cardiolipin is mitochondrial phospholipid and constitutes about 20% of inner mitochondrial membrane.

3 MODELS OF TAFAZZIN DEFICIENCY Yeast; Drosophila; Zebrafish; Various cell cultures. Urgent need for mouse model of Barth syndrome Several floxed alleles of taz have been generated in mouse ES cells; Problems lay with germline transmission of floxed taz allele. 3

4 Tafazzin tet on shrna transgenic mice were generated by TaconicArtemis in Work was initiated and funded by Barth Syndrome Foundation ( Mice available from Jackson Laboratory: Gt(ROSA)26Sor<tm37(H1/tetO RNAi:Taz)Arte

7 Dox R tet shrna Taz RNA H1-tet0-shRNA:taz Taz 7

8 Important Questions: 1. How efficient is shrna mediated silencing in different tissues? 2. How tight is regulation by Dox? 3. What are side effects of chronic Dox administration? 4. Is it reversible?

22 Questions Answered: 1. How efficient is shrna mediated silencing? An shrna mediated silencing of taz is very efficient in heart, muscle, liver and brain 2. How tight is regulation by Dox? Dox very efficiently controls shrna expression in heart, skeletal muscle and liver. In brain control is less tight and we observed ~35% reduction of taz mrna level. 3. What are side effects of chronic Dox administration? We didn t find any adverse effects of prolonged dox administration in control animals. 4. Is it reversible? We found that withdrawal from dox restores taz level to 75 90% of normal in 2.5 months.
