Pre-natal manifestation of systemic developmental abnormalities in spinal muscular atrophy.

Abstract:

:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1). SMN-restoring therapies have recently emerged; however, preclinical and clinical studies revealed a limited therapeutic time window and systemic aspects of the disease. This raises a fundamental question of whether SMA has presymptomatic, developmental components to disease pathogenesis. We have addressed this by combining micro-computed tomography (μCT) and comparative proteomics to examine systemic pre-symptomatic changes in a prenatal mouse model of SMA. Quantitative μCT analyses revealed that SMA embryos were significantly smaller than littermate controls, indicative of general developmental delay. More specifically, cardiac ventricles were smaller in SMA hearts, whilst liver and brain remained unaffected. In order to explore the molecular consequences of SMN depletion during development, we generated comprehensive, high-resolution, proteomic profiles of neuronal and non-neuronal organs in SMA mouse embryos. Significant molecular perturbations were observed in all organs examined, highlighting tissue-specific prenatal molecular phenotypes in SMA. Together, our data demonstrate considerable systemic changes at an early, presymptomatic stage in SMA mice, revealing a significant developmental component to SMA pathogenesis.
