TRIAC treatment improves impaired brain network function and white matter loss in thyroid hormone transporter Mct8/Oatp1c1 deficient mice

Dysfunctions of the thyroid hormone (TH) transporting monocarboxylate transporter MCT8 lead to a complex X-linked syndrome with abnormal serum TH concentrations and prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms (Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, AHDS). The key features of AHDS are replicated in double knockout m...

Zusammenfassung:Dysfunctions of the thyroid hormone (TH) transporting monocarboxylate transporter MCT8 lead to a complex X-linked syndrome with abnormal serum TH concentrations and prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms (Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, AHDS). The key features of AHDS are replicated in double knockout mice lacking MCT8 and organic anion transporting protein OATP1C1 (Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO). In this study, we characterize impairments of brain structure and function in Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and assess the potential of the TH analogue 3,3′,5-triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) to rescue this phenotype. Structural and functional MRI were performed in 11-weeks-old male Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice (N = 10), wild type controls (N = 7) and Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice (N = 13) that were injected with TRIAC (400 ng/g bw s.c.) daily during the first three postnatal weeks. Grey and white matter volume were broadly reduced in Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice. TRIAC treatment could significantly improve white matter thinning but did not affect grey matter loss. Network-based statistic showed a wide-spread increase of functional connectivity, while graph analysis revealed an impairment of small-worldness and whole-brain segregation in Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice. Both functional deficits could be substantially ameliorated by TRIAC treatment. Our study demonstrates prominent structural and functional brain alterations in Mct8/Oatp1c1 DKO mice that may underlie the psychomotor deficiencies in AHDS. Additionally, we provide preclinical evidence that early-life TRIAC treatment improves white matter loss and brain network dysfunctions associated with TH transporter deficiency.
