A novel mouse model of cerebral cavernous malformations based on the twohit mutation hypothesis recapitulates the human disease
McDonald et al, HMG Advance Access published October 11, 2010
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions of the central nervous system appearing as multicavernous, blood-filled capillaries, leading to headache, seizure and hemorrhagic stroke. CCM occurs either sporadically or as an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutation of one of three genes: CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607, and CCM3/PDCD10. Surgically-resected human CCM lesions have provided molecular and immunohistochemical evidence for a two-hit (germline plus somatic) mutation mechanism. In contrast to the equivalent human genotype, mice heterozygous for a Ccm1- or Ccm2-null allele do not develop CCM lesions. Based on the two-hit hypothesis, we attempted to improve the penetrance of the model by crossing Ccm1 and Ccm2 heterozygotes into a mismatch repairdeficient Msh2-/- background. Ccm1+/-Msh2-/- mice exhibit CCM lesions with high penetrance as shown by MRI and histology. … The late-stage CCM lesions displayed many of the characteristics of human CCM lesions, including hemosiderin deposits, immune cell infiltration, increased endothelial cell proliferation, and increased Rho kinase activity. … The CCM1 mouse model provides an in vivo tool to investigate CCM pathogenesis and new therapies.
