Volume 22, Issue 2, Pages 243-252 (February 1999) Retarded Growth and Deficits in the Enteric and Parasympathetic Nervous System in Mice Lacking GFRα2, a Functional Neurturin Receptor  Jari Rossi, Keijo Luukko, Dmitry Poteryaev, Antti Laurikainen, Yun Fu Sun, Tiina Laakso, Simo Eerikäinen, Raimo Tuominen, Merja Lakso, Heikki Rauvala, Urmas Arumäe, Michael Pasternack, Mart Saarma, Matti S Airaksinen  Neuron  Volume 22, Issue 2, Pages 243-252 (February 1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0896-6273(00)81086-7

Figure 1 Targeted Inactivation of Gfra2 (A) Structure of mouse Gfra2 locus, replacement targeting vector, and mutant alleles. Relative positions of exons 1–3 (Baloh et al. 1998a) are indicated, coding parts in gray. Closed arrowheads denote primer pairs used for genotyping with PCR. B, BamH1. (B) Southern analysis of mice tails with a 5′ outside probe indicated in (A) illustrating the 9 kb wild-type and 3.6 kb targeted allele hybridizing bands following BamH1 digestion. (C–F) In situ hybridization of brain sections of adult wild-type (C and E) and Gfra2−/− (D and F) mice with exon 1 (C and D) and full-length (E and F) Gfra2 probes. Cb, cerebellum; Ctx, cortex; HC, hippocampus; HT, hypothalamus. Scale bars, 200 μm. (G) Northern blot analysis of total brain RNA from wild-type (+/+) and Gfra2−/− (−/−) mice. Hybridization with a mouse Gfra2 probe spanning exons 2 and 3 reveals several transcripts of various sizes in wild-type mice, whereas Gfra2−/− mice lack all the mRNAs, except an upregulated transcript of about 0.5 kb. Analysis of Gfra1 and Ret mRNA expression showed no apparent difference between the genotypes. The amounts of total RNA in samples were normalized by probing for Gapd.

Figure 2 Poor Growth and Apparent Ptosis in Gfra2−/− Mice (A and B) Photographs of 4-week-old male wild-type mice ([A], lower; [B], left) and their smaller Gfra2−/− littermates. Note apparent ptosis-like phenotype (dropping eyelids) in the mutant animal ([B], right). (C and D) Growth curves of male and female mice. The value of each point is the average body weight (± SD) of three to five mice from wild-type and their Gfra2−/− littermate pairs that were followed for 16 weeks. The difference in weight becomes apparent at the age of 2–3 weeks and is most prominent in the 4-week-old males. A significant difference remains beyond 4 months of age in both sexes.

Figure 3 Gfra2−/− Mice Lack Cholinergic Innervation of the Lacrimal and Salivary Glands (A and B) The sympathetic (TH-immunopositive) innervation of the upper eyelid muscle is similar in wild-type ([A], +/+) and Gfra2−/− ([B], −/−) mice. (C and D) Expression of Ntn in the developing lacrimal glands (arrow). In situ hybridization of a sagittal section through E18 mouse head with Ntn probe shown in dark (C) and bright field (D). (E and F) PGP9.5-immunoreactive nerve fibers surround each acinus in wild-type (E) lacrimal glands, whereas most acini from Gfra2−/− mice (F) lack innervation. The innervation of blood vessels (arrowhead) is intact. Note the atrophy of acinus cells and dilatation of acini. (G and H) Parasympathetic cholinergic innervation of the wild-type (G) and Gfra2−/− (H) lacrimal glands stained for vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT). (I and J) Parasympathetic (VIP-positive) nerve fibers in the sublingual salivary gland. A dense network of fibers surrounds all the acini in wild-type mice (I), whereas only a minority of mutant acini (J) are innervated. Asterisks denote connecting secretory tubules. (K and L) Representative sections through the submandibular ganglion stained for ChAT. The size of the ganglion from Gfra2−/− mutant mice (L) is clearly smaller than its wild-type counterpart (K). (M and N) Parasympathetic innervation of the pupillary constrictor muscle is similar between the genotypes (ChAT immunostaining). Neuron 1999 22, 243-252DOI: (10.1016/S0896-6273(00)81086-7)

Figure 4 Analysis of the Gut: Innervation of Myenteric Plexus, Expression of α Receptors, and Motility In Vitro (A–D) Acetylcholinesterase staining of duodenum (A and B) and colon (C and D) from 6-week-old littermates. In wild-type (+/+) gut, the myenteric plexus forms a fine fiber network, which is clearly reduced in the duodenum and ileum but not in colon of Gfra2−/− (−/−) mice. (E and F) NADPH-diaphorase staining of duodenum. No difference in the density of fibers of cell bodies is observed between wild-type (+/+) and Gfra2−/− (−/−) mice. (G) Ethidium bromide–stained gels showing RT–PCR products for Gfra1 and Gfra2 from stomach, small bowel, and colon of postnatal day P0, P14, and adult wild-type mice. Gfra1 expression is downregulated in postnatal gut, whereas Gfra2 levels are upregulated in P14 bowel. Bottom line shows that the tissues contain similar levels of control Ppia transcript. Similar results were obtained from a separate set of tissues. (H and I) Spontaneous contractile activity of wild-type (+/+) and Gfra2−/− (−/−) duodenum (H) and ileum (I). There is a marked difference in contractile activity between the genotypes, the wild type displaying more robust contractions and a more pronounced “waxing and waning” pattern. The dotted line is drawn to mark the regularly occurring TTX-sensitive contraction increase, which was always less pronounced in the mutants.

Figure 5 Neurite Outgrowth and Survival Responses of Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons from Wild-Type and Gfra2−/− Embryos to NTN or GDNF (A–C) NTN (5 ng/ml) induces a robust fiber outgrowth from E13 trigeminal ganglion explants of wild-type mice (A). The neurite outgrowth response is clearly reduced in explants from Gfra2+/− mice (B) and almost absent in Gfra2−/− mice (C). (D) No fiber outgrowth is seen from ganglia grown without added factors. (E and F) Moderate neurite outgrowth is induced both from wild-type (E) and mutant (F) ganglia by higher NTN concentrations (100 ng/ml), the neurites being fasciculated or circled around the explants. (G and H) Neurite outgrowth response to 5 ng/ml GDNF is robust both in wild-type (G) and Gfra2−/− (H) ganglia. (I) Neurite outgrowth quantified from digitized images as the total area of neuronal processes. Numbers represent pixels per unit area (± SD, n = 3–6 ganglia for each condition and genotype). **p < 0.01 between wild type and −/−, *p < 0.05 between the genotypes using t test. (J) Survival (% of all plated ± SEM) of E14 trigeminal neurons in the presence of varying concentrations of GDNF or NTN. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 between the genotypes using t test.
