Résumé
The Lpin1 gene encodes the phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP1) enzyme Lipin 1, which plays a critical role in lipid metabolism. In this study we describe the identification and characterization of a rat with a mutated Lpin1 gene (Lpin11Hubr ), generated by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis. Lpin11Hubr rats are characterized by hindlimb paralysis that is detectable from the second postnatal week. Sequencing of Lpin1 identified a missense mutation in the 5'-end splice site of exon 18 resulting in mis-splicing, a reading frame shift and a premature stop codon. As this mutation does not induce nonsense-mediated decay, it allows the production of a truncated Lipin 1 protein lacking PAP1 activity. As a consequence, Lpin11Hubr rats develop hypomyelination rather than the pronounced demyelination defect characteristic of Lpin1fld/fld mice, which carry a null allele for Lpin1. Furthermore, histological and molecular analyses revealed that this lesion improve in older Lpin11Hubr rats as compared to young Lpin11Hubr rats and Lpin1fld/fld mice. The observed differences between the murine Lpin1fld/fld mutant, with a complete loss of Lipin 1 function, and the Lpin1Hubr rat, with a truncated PAP1 activitydeficient form of Lipin 1, provide additional evidence for suggested non-enzymatic Lipin1 function residing outside of its PAP1 domain. While we are cautious in making a direct parallel between the presented rodent model and human disease, our data may provide new insight into pathogenicity of recently identified human Lpin1 mutations. *These authors contributed equally.
