Model Type: RESCUE-Pharmaceutical
Model Genotype: Homozygous

Mutation:

Starting at PND 25 WT and Mecp2 null mice (exon 3 of Mecp2 deleted) and littermate controls were acclimatized to handing for 10 min for 3 d, followed by saline injections for an additional 3 d (twice a day). Subsequently mice were assigned either to drug treatment )40 mg/kg CX546 in 16.5% 2- hydroxypropyl-B-cyclodextrin) i.p. or vehicle (cyclodextrin) b.i.b. Ampakines contain the benzoamide group and act as positive allosteric modulators of AMPA class of ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Model Type: RESCUE-Genetic
Model Genotype: Transgenic

Mutation:

F1 hybrid animals generated by mating FVB/N MECP2-TG1 females and wild-type 129S6/SvEv male mice (Taconic Farms) were treated with antisense oligonucleotide 5 (ASO5) designed to anneal at the intron between exons 2 and 3 of the human MECP2 pre-mRNA; gradually infused ASO into the brains of 78-week-old mice using micro-osmotic pumps designed to deliver the molecule at a constant rate over a 4-week period; ASOs designed to bind several regions of the human MECP2 precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) so as to reduce the levels of both alternatively spliced MECP2 isoforms, MECP2-e1 and MECP2-e2;.

M_MECP2_39_KI_HE_R306C

Model Type: Genetic
Model Genotype: Hemizygous

Mutation:

The point mutation R306C found in 5% of Rhett syndrome patients, was introduced in a Mecp2-EGFP targeting vector containing exon3 and part of exon4 followed by a loxP flanked neoSTOP cassette as a selectable marker; linearized vector was electroporated into 129/OlaE14 TG2a ES cells and chimeric mice generated by standard procedures. The loxP flanked neo cassette was removed by crossing to pCAGGS-cre mice, In the article by Orefice et al it is unclear if the EGFP tagged or tag-removed Mecp2 R306C mice were used.

M_MECP2_40_KI_HE_STOP

Model Type: Genetic
Model Genotype: Hemizygous

Mutation:

Mecp2 STOP mice allow for reversible inactivation of the Mecp2 gene, these were generated by using a targeting vector with a 3.1 kb DNA fragment containing a loxP -flanked neoSTOP cassette composed of 550 bp of 3' seq S cerevisiae HIs3 gene, SV40 poly A sequence and a synthetic sequence containing a false translation initiation codon and a consensus splice donor sequence. These mice have no detectable protein detectable by western blot.

M_MECP2_50_KI_HE_STOP_REINSTATE-DNIC

Model Type: RESCUE-Genetic
Model Genotype: Homozygous

Mutation:

Mecp2 dNIC STOP mice with insertion of a floxed transcriptional STOP cassette in intron 2 of the Mecp2 dNIC gene. Mice are carrying inducible cre-ERt. Treatment with tamoxifen induces cre-ERt expression and results in the removal of the STOP cassette and expression of Mecp2 dNIC. Individuals were given a series of tamoxifen injections: one at 6 weeks of age, one at 7 weeks of age, and five daily injections at 8 weeks of age, each at a dose of 100 g/g (body weight).

M_MECP2_52_CKO_HE_ISOGUVACINE

Model Type: RESCUE-Pharmaceutical
Model Genotype: Hemizygous

Mutation:

Isoguvacine is a potent and selective agonist for the GABAAR that does not cross the blood brain barrier and so is a peripherally restricted GABAAR agonist. Isoguvacine, 2 mg/kg, i.p., was administered beginning at a young age to test if it ameliorated tactile hypersensitivity in ASD models with fewer adverse effects than brain-penetrating benzodiazepines such as midazolam, including sedation and cognitive impairment, which are attributed to a CNS site of drug action.

Model Genotype: Hemizygous

Mutation:

Male knockin mice harboring an arginine-to-cysteine missense R306 mutation in Mecp2 (Mecp2^R306C), a common allele in Rett syndrome patients. These mutants were used because Mecp2^R306C mutant mice live longer than Mecp2 null allele, allowing a full two-week behavioral assessment at six to eight weeks of age prior to the development of severe breathing abnormalities. As controls for the Gabrb3 rescue experiments these mice were injected with AAV.FLEx.GABRB3.mCHERRY at P5 but the lack of Cre prevented Gabrb3 expression; M_MECP2_39_KI_HE_R306C

Model Type: RESCUE-Genetic

Mutation:

Male knockin mice harboring an arginine-to-cysteine missense R306 mutation in Mecp2 (Mecp2^R306C), a common allele in Rett syndrome patients together with Advillin-Cre (Advillin-Cre; Mecp2^C/y). Male Advillin-Cre; Mecp2^C/y mice were intraperitoneally injected at P5 with AAV.FLEx.GABRB3.mCHERRY to restore GABRB3 expression selectively in peripheral somatosensory neurons. Mecp2^R306C littermate mice lacking the Advillin-Cre allele and injected with AAV.FLEx.GABRB3.mCHERRY served as a control together with wild-type littermates with and without the Advillin-Cre allele. Intraperitoneal injection of Advillin-Cre; Mecp2^R306C mice, but not Mecp2^R306C mice lacking the Advillin-Cre allele, with AAV.FLEx.GABRB3.mCHERRY led to transduction of all types of DRG sensory neurons. Wildtype controls were Mecp2^R/y male littermates injected with AAV.FLEx.GABRB3.mCHERRY.

M_MECP2_57_KI_HE_ISOGUVACINE

Model Type: RESCUE-Pharmaceutical
Model Genotype: Hemizygous

Mutation:

Male knockin mice harboring an arginine-to-cysteine missense R306 mutation in Mecp2 (Mecp2^R306C), a common allele in Rett syndrome patients. These mutants were used because Mecp2^R306C mutant mice live longer than Mecp2 null allele, allowing a full two-week behavioral assessment at six to eight weeks of age prior to the development of severe breathing abnormalities. These mice were administered isoguvacine chronically from P1 to P42 at 2mg/kg, i.p.

Model Genotype: Transgenic

Mutation:

A full-length copy of the human gene was injected into fvb fertilized oocytes and 2-fold higher levels of protein compared to endogenous mecp2 was established. fvb-background mecp2-duplication (tg1) mice (collins et al., 2004), were crossed to c57 thy1-gfp-m homozygotes (jackson laboratory) to generate f1c57;fvb mecp2-duplication;thy1-gfpm mice and thy1-gfp-m littermate controls. [note: construct is adapted from existing m_mecp2_34_tg_2x but has a mixed background and reporter]. for motor cortex assessment animals were trained for four consecutive trials daily for four days in a row.

M_MECP2_5_KO_HE_HDNIC

Model Type: RESCUE-Genetic
Model Genotype: Homozygous

Mutation:

A human version of the dNIC gene driven by a minimal Mecp2 promoter was tagged with a short Myc epitope and packaged into a self-complementary adeno-associated viral vector (scAAV). Neonatal mice (postnatal day 12) were injected intra-cranially with this virus and expressed humanized dNIC protein.

M_MECP2_9_PME

Model Type: Genetic
Model Genotype: Wildtype

Mutation:

Mice with locus-specific methylation at the transcription start site of Mecp2 were generated using nuclease-deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) fused with DNA methyltransferase catalytic domains. DNMT3L-DNMT3A-dCas9 or DNMT3LDNMT3A-mut- dCas9 plasmids were injected into zygotes from superovulated female C57BL/6 mice. (PME, promoter methylation).
