BACKGROUND: FOXE1 mutations in humans are associated with cleft palate and hypothyroidism. We previously developed a foxe1 mutant zebrafish demonstrating mineralization defects in larvae. In the present study, we investigate the thyroid status and skeletal phenotype of adult foxe1 mutants.
RESULTS: Mutant fish have increased expression of tshβ in the pituitary, and of hepatic dio1 and dio2. In plasma, we found higher Mg levels. Together these findings are indicative of hypothyroidism. We further observed mineralization defects in scales due to enhanced osteoclast activity as measured by increased expression levels of tracp, ctsk, and rankl. Gene-environment interactions in the etiology of FOXE1-related craniofacial abnormalities remain elusive, which prompts the need for models to investigate genotype-phenotype associations. We here investigated whether ethanol exposure increases the risk of developing craniofacial malformations in foxe1 mutant larvae that we compared to wild types. We found in ethanol-exposed mutants an increased incidence of developmental malformations and marked changes in gene expression patterns of cartilage markers (sox9a), apoptotic markers (casp3b), retinoic acid metabolism (cyp26c1), and tissue hypoxia markers (hifaa, hifab).
CONCLUSION: Taken together, this study shows that the foxe1 mutant zebrafish recapitulates phenotypes associated with FOXE1 mutations in human patients and a clear foxe1-ethanol interaction.
