Rodent models with expression of PMP22: Relevance to dysmyelinating CMT and HNPP

Résumé

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases (CMT) are due to abnormalities of many genes, the most frequent being linked to PMP22 (Peripheral Myelin Protein 22). In the past, only spontaneous genetic anomalies occurring in mouse mutants such as Trembler (Tr) mice were available; more recently, several rodent models have been generated for exploration of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these neuropathies.Methods: Based on the personal experience of our team, we describe here the pathological hallmarks of most of these animal models and compare them to the pathological features observed in some CMT patient nerves (CMT types 1A and E; hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, HNPP).Results: We describe clinical data and detailed pathological analysis mainly by electron microscopy of the sciatic nerves of these animal models conducted in our laboratory; lesions of PMP22 deficient animals (KO and mutated PMP22) and PMP22 overexpressed models are described and compared to ultrastructural anomalies of nerve biopsies from CMT patients due to PMP22 gene anomalies. It is of note that while there are some similarities, there are also significant differences between the lesions in animal models and human cases. Such observations highlight the complex roles played by PMP22 in nerve development.Conclusion: It should be borne in mind that we require additional correlations between animal models of hereditary neuropathies and CMT patients to rationalize the development of efficient drugs.
