Recent promising treatments for Huntington’s disease (HD) may require pre-clinical testing in large animals. In 2009, we generated HD transgenic (TgHD) minipigs with one copy encoding the N-terminal part (548 aa) of human huntingtin (HTT) with 124 CAG/CAA repeats integrated into chromosome 1 q24-q25. The successful germ line transmission occurred through four successive generations.

Evaluation of strategies for humanization of the entire porcine HTT locus
Vochozková, Petra; Klymiuk, N.; Wolf, E.; Ellederová, Zdeňka; Motlík, Jan
2017 - English
Because fully suitable large animal models are still lacking for Huntington´s disease, we would like to generate a new minipig model which will have an entirely humanized HTT locus. Given the large size of the HTT gene (approx. 160 kb) we will test two different approaches to humanize the porcine HTT locus in porcine kidney cells (PKCs).

Stimulating autophagy and reducing inclusions in mouse model of Huntington's disease via expression of transcription factor EB (TFEB)

Mutant huntingtin (mHTT) is encoded by the Huntington’s disease (HD) gene and its accumulation in the brain contributes to HD pathogenesis. Reducing mHTT levels through activation of the autophagosome-lysosomal pathway may have therapeutic benefit. Transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates lysosome biogenesis and autophagy. We introduced cDNA encoding TFEB with an HA tag (TFEB-HA) under the control of neuron specific synapsin 1 promoter into the striatum of 3 month old HDQ175/Q7 mice using adeno-associated virus AAV2/9.

Body fluid exosomes as potential carriers of Huntington’s disease biomarkers
Kupcová Skalníková, Helena; Červenka, Jakub; Bohuslavová, Božena; Turnovcová, Karolína; Vodička, Petr
2017 - English
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive motor, behavioural, and cognitive decline, ending in death. The cause of HD is an abnormal expansion of CAG repeats in HTT gene resulting in prolonged polyglutamine (polyQ) sequence in huntingtin protein (HTT). Huntingtin is a large protein (348 kDa) expressed ubiquitously through the body, with highest expression in the brain and testes. To study HD pathophysiology and to test experimental therapies, a transgenic HD minipig (TgHD) model expressing N-terminal part (N548-124Q) of human mutated huntingtin (mHTT) under the control of human huntingtin promoter was created in Libechov. Beside the mild neurological impairment, the TgHD boars show decreased fertility after 13th month of age.

The effect of WNT5A and WNT7A on cartilage formation and anterior-posterior patterning of the limb
Killinger, Michael; Buchtová, Marcela
2017 - English
Growth and patterning of the vertebrate limb is controlled by signals produced in the appical ectodermal ridge (AER) and by the zone of polarizing aktivity (ZPA). limb development requires tight interactions between these signalling centers to keep asymmetrical arrangement of all skeletal elements and their growth.

Potent anti-spasticity and anti-nociceptive effect of subpial GAD65 and VGAT gene delivery in rat and mice

In previous studies we have developed a novel spinal subpial (SP) AAV delivery technique in adult mice, rats and minipigs. Using this technique we have demonstrated potent and wide-spread transgene (GFP) expression in spinal white and gray matter after a single SP bolus of AAV9-UBI-GFP.
