<p>The <italic>Neuregulin 1</italic>
transmembrane domain heterozygous mutant (<italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET) mouse is used to investigate the role of Nrg1 in brain function and schizophrenia-like behavioural phenotypes. However, the molecular alterations in brain Nrg1 expression that underpin the behavioural observations have been assumed, but not directly determined. Here we comprehensively characterise mRNA Nrg1 transcripts throughout development of the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse. In addition, we investigate the regulation of high-frequency (gamma) electrophysiological oscillations in this mutant mouse to associate molecular changes in Nrg1 with a schizophrenia-relevant neurophysiological profile.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec002"><title>Methods</title>
<p>Using exonic probes spanning the cysteine-rich, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like, transmembrane and intracellular domain encoding regions of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
, mRNA levels were measured using qPCR in hippocampus and frontal cortex from male and female <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
TM HET and wild type-like (WT) mice throughout development. We also performed electrophysiological recordings in adult mice and analysed gamma oscillatory at baseline, in responses to auditory stimuli and to ketamine.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec003"><title>Results</title>
<p>In both hippocampus and cortex, <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice show significantly reduced expression of the exon encoding the transmembrane domain of <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
compared with WT, but unaltered mRNA expression encoding the extracellular bioactive EGF-like and the cysteine-rich (type III) domains, and development-specific and region-specific reductions in the mRNA encoding the intracellular domain. Hippocampal Nrg1 protein expression was not altered, but NMDA receptor NR2B subunit phosphorylation was lower in <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
TM HET mice. We identified elevated ongoing and reduced sensory-evoked gamma power in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec004"><title>Interpretation</title>
<p>We found no evidence to support the claim that the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse represents a simple haploinsufficient model. Further research is required to explore the possibility that mutation results in a gain of Nrg1 function.</p>

<p>The <italic>Neuregulin 1</italic>
transmembrane domain heterozygous mutant (<italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET) mouse is used to investigate the role of Nrg1 in brain function and schizophrenia-like behavioural phenotypes. However, the molecular alterations in brain Nrg1 expression that underpin the behavioural observations have been assumed, but not directly determined. Here we comprehensively characterise mRNA Nrg1 transcripts throughout development of the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse. In addition, we investigate the regulation of high-frequency (gamma) electrophysiological oscillations in this mutant mouse to associate molecular changes in Nrg1 with a schizophrenia-relevant neurophysiological profile.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec002"><title>Methods</title>
<p>Using exonic probes spanning the cysteine-rich, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like, transmembrane and intracellular domain encoding regions of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
, mRNA levels were measured using qPCR in hippocampus and frontal cortex from male and female <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
TM HET and wild type-like (WT) mice throughout development. We also performed electrophysiological recordings in adult mice and analysed gamma oscillatory at baseline, in responses to auditory stimuli and to ketamine.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec003"><title>Results</title>
<p>In both hippocampus and cortex, <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice show significantly reduced expression of the exon encoding the transmembrane domain of <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
compared with WT, but unaltered mRNA expression encoding the extracellular bioactive EGF-like and the cysteine-rich (type III) domains, and development-specific and region-specific reductions in the mRNA encoding the intracellular domain. Hippocampal Nrg1 protein expression was not altered, but NMDA receptor NR2B subunit phosphorylation was lower in <italic>Nrg1 </italic>
TM HET mice. We identified elevated ongoing and reduced sensory-evoked gamma power in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec004"><title>Interpretation</title>
<p>We found no evidence to support the claim that the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse represents a simple haploinsufficient model. Further research is required to explore the possibility that mutation results in a gain of Nrg1 function.</p>

<p>Genome-wide association studies have identified <italic>neuregulin 1</italic>
(<italic>NRG1</italic>
) as a candidate risk gene for schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. Schizophrenia is characterised by increased expression of <italic>NRG1</italic>
splice variants and altered isoform expression ratios, which are linked to polymorphisms in intronic and promoter regions of the gene [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
], possibly via high nucleotide diversity in the regulatory regions of <italic>NRG1</italic>
leading to increased molecular change [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. The leading Nrg1 mouse studied in the context of a ‘schizophrenia’ model is the heterozygous transmembrane domain (<italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET) mouse [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
], which is implied to be a hemizygous ‘knockout’ model of reduced Nrg1 function. However, examination of the type and location of the transmembrane domain (TM) mutation suggests this may not be the case, and a decrease in brain Nrg1 synthesis has not been demonstrated. An understanding of how Nrg1 expression and neurobiological function are changed in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice is critical to determine which aspects of the Nrg1-related molecular and cellular changes found in schizophrenia may be recapitulated in this mouse, and to better model the relationships between Nrg1 alterations and pathophysiological/behavioural outcomes.</p>
<p><italic>NRG1</italic>
contains a bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain that binds to ErbB tyrosine kinase receptors [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Protease cleavage of the membrane precursor or secretion as a soluble form allows extracellular diffusion of NRG1 [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. In the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse, a NEO cassette replaces the TMD of the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
gene, resulting in heterozygous deletion of the TM DNA [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice show behavioural features relevant to the symptoms of schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
] and display altered susceptibility to the neurobehavioural effects of cannabinoids and other psychoactive drugs [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. However, the neurobiological changes underlying this schizophrenia-like phenotype are not known.</p>
<p>Abnormal high frequency cortical oscillations (gamma; 30–80 Hz) are emerging as a common neurophysiological phenotype present in schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
]. These oscillations have been associated with various cognitive functions, including attention, memory and perception [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
], which are disrupted in patients with schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
]. One of the most consistent pathologies in the cortex of patients with schizophrenia involves GABAergic interneurons, which are dependent on NRG1-ErbB4 signaling for maturation [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
]. GABAergic interneurons expressing the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) contribute to the generation of gamma oscillations [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
], and postmortem studies of schizophrenia patients have identified robust molecular deficits in the PV+ subset of cortical interneurons [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
]. These findings lead to the hypothesis that abnormal gamma oscillations occurring in schizophrenia result from aberrant perisomatic inhibition of pyramidal neurons mediated by PV-positive interneurons. Several lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that this synaptic dysfunction involves a hyporegulation of NMDA receptors [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
], although the precise mechanisms involved remain unclear [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
].</p>
<p>Nrg1 regulates GABAergic interneuron and NMDA receptor function, and may therefore also have a role in gamma oscillations. The receptor for Nrg1, ErbB4, is highly expressed on PV-positive interneurons [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
], and Nrg1-ErbB4 signalling alters intrinsic excitability and evoked GABA release of these cells [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
–<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>
]. Nrg1 signalling can also affect glutamatergic synapse development and plasticity [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref053" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
]. Moreover, ErbB4 receptors attach to the scaffolding protein PSD-95 in the same location as NMDA receptor NR2 subunits [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref054" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref055" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
], and Nrg1-ErbB4 signalling stimulates NMDA receptor NR2B subunit phosphorylation, which may be necessary for synaptic plasticity (e.g. long-term potentiation) [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>
]. Given this involvement of Nrg1-ErbB4 signalling in the development and function of NMDA receptors and inhibitory interneurons, abnormal Nrg1 expression, such as that which may exist in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse model, might in turn lead to abnormal gamma oscillations. Indeed, ErbB4 mutation leads to altered gamma oscillations [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
].</p>
<p>Here, we describe the expression of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
mRNA across postnatal life in two schizophrenia-relevant brain regions that express high levels of Nrg1. We hypothesised that transcription of the 5’ region containing the ‘bioactive’ EGF-like domain would be intact in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice, given that the exon coding for the EGF-like domain is located upstream from the TM DNA deletion. Furthermore, we hypothesised that <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice would show reduced expression of TM and intracellular <italic>Nrg1</italic>
mRNA.

TM HET and WT mice at PND 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 161 using TRIzol, following the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Total RNA was resuspended in DEPC-treated water after purification by precipitation (Sigma-Aldrich, Castle Hill, NSW, Australia). The yield of total RNA was analysed using a spectrophotometer (Nanodrop ND-1000; Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA). The quality of total RNA was determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA): 100–200 ng RNA was applied to an RNA 6000 Nano LabChip, without heating prior to loading. The RNA integrity number (RIN) was used as an indicator of RNA quality, ranging from 1–10 (lowest—highest quality). Samples had an average RIN of 9.03 ± 0.10 (<xref rid="pone.0124114.t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>

The PCR reaction was initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase treatment for 2 min at 50°C and denaturation for 10 min at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles consisting of heating to 95°C for 15 s followed by annealing and extension at 60°C for 1 min. Measurements were performed in duplicate and relative quantities determined from a seven-point standard curve. Control wells containing no cDNA template displayed no amplification. Efficiencies of the qPCR reactions ranged from 63% to 100%, and r<sup>2</sup>

PCR products were separated on a 3% agarose gel at 80 V for 75 min. Bands of interest corresponding to amplicons that either omitted or incorporated the TMD (predicted sizes 118 and 225 bp respectively) were excised and DNA was extracted and purified using a QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) and eluted into 10 mM Tris buffer, ph 8.5. DNA concentration was measured using a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). PCR product sequencing was performed in forward and reverse, with the same primers used in the endpoint PCR, using 3–5 ng DNA added to a DNA sequencing kit (Big Dye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing, Applied Biosystems). Cloning and sequencing was performed by direct ligation of PCR products into the pGEM-T Easy vector, followed by sequencing using the T7 primer.

<p>The right hippocampus of male and female <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET and WT littermates aged PND 35 (n = 11 per genotype and sex) was homogenised by grinding with a pestle in buffer (0.1 M Tris pH 7.5, 50% glycerol, 0.0053 mM aprotinin, 1:100 protease inhibitor cocktail P8340; Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and diluted to 2 mg/ml after protein concentration determination by Bradford assay (Sigma). Proteins were heated (5 min, 95°C), loaded alongside a molecular weight ladder (Precision Plus, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) onto 8–12% gradient SDS polyacrylamide gels and electrophoresed for 80 min at 120 V. Standard curves were generated by loading 1–40 ug of crude protein homogenate, and sample analysis was conducted using 5 ug of protein homogenate. Electrophoresed proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad) at 100 V for 2 h, which were then blocked for 2 h at 4°C in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 0.1% Tween 20 and 5% skim milk (Bio-Rad) and incubated overnight at 4°C in primary rabbit anti-Nrg1 (1:200, sc-348, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) or rabbit anti-β-actin antibody (1:5000, #4967, Cell Signalling, Danvers, MA, USA). The following day, blots were incubated in goat anti-rabbit IgG peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:1000–1:2000, AP132P, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. Immunoreactive bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Millipore) and exposed to film (Amersham Hyperfilm, GE Healthcare Australia, Rydalmere, NSW, Australia). The blots were scanned and the optical density measured by Image J (National Institutes of Health, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/">http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/</ext-link>
). Immunoreactivity of Nrg1 protein was normalised to the β-actin band detected in the same lane, and an internal control (pooled sample from entire cohort) loaded onto the same gel. The specificity of analysed immunoreaction signals using the anti-Nrg1 antibody sc-348 was previously confirmed in pre-absorption experiments in which antibodies were pre-incubated with a five-fold excess of their respective epitope-containing peptides or of a non-related peptide [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. Furthermore, this antibody (sc-348) against Nrg1 has been shown to detect this protein in brain, as it detects a significant (30–75%) reduction, depending on the brain region, of Nrg1 protein levels in floxed Nrg1 mutant mice designed to knock down Nrg1 postnatally. Also in support of the ability of this antibody (sc-348) to recognise Nrg1 protein is the observation that in a transgenic Nrg1 overexpression mouse, levels of Nrg1 in brain detected with this antibody were increased four-fold [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>

<sec id="sec014"><title>Electrode implantation surgery</title>
<p>Mice were implanted with cranial recording electrodes for the acquisition of surface electrocorticograms (ECoG). Briefly, animals were anaesthetised using isoflurane (Abbott Pharmaceuticals, USA) and placed in a stereotactic frame. A single midline incision was made, four holes were drilled in the skull, and epidural brass recording electrodes were implanted 2 mm anterior and 2 mm lateral to bregma bilaterally (active electrodes) and 1.5 mm posterior and 1 mm lateral to lambda bilaterally (reference and control electrodes, respectively).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec015"><title>Electrophysiology recordings and analyses</title>
<p>ECoG recordings of ongoing parietal cortical activity were undertaken in a quiet, dimly lit behavioural testing suite in a first cohort of mice, as previously described [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref062" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
]. Mice (n = 12 <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET; 8 WT) were habituated to the environment for 30 min, during which they were in a state of quiet wakefulness. A 30 min baseline ECoG recording was then acquired, which was followed by injection with either ketamine (10 mg/kg subcutaneous (s.c.); Parnell Laboratories, Australia) or saline (10 ml/kg s.c.) and a subsequent 60 min of recording. Animals remained awake for the entire recording. A second cohort of mice underwent recording to assess auditory-evoked activity (n = 8 <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET; 14 WT); recording was done in SR-Lab startle chambers and stimuli generated with SR-Lab software (San Diego Instruments, CA, USA). Stimuli consisted of 85 dB white noise pulses of 10 ms duration and an inter-stimulus interval of 6 s; background white noise was maintained at 70 dB. These stimuli were below the threshold to elicit a startle response in mice of both genotypes. In both cohorts, ECoG recordings were acquired using a Powerlab 4/30 amplifier and A-D converter and LabChart 7 software (AD Instruments, Australia), sampled at 2000 Hz, and band pass filtered offline at 0.5–500 Hz. Data were exported to MATLAB software and visually inspected for movement artifacts; spectral power and response to auditory stimuli were then analysed. Ongoing gamma activity was measured using fast Fourier transformations (Hamming window, 0.48 Hz resolution) for each two-minute interval of the recording. Total relative power in each frequency band was calculated as the ratio of the raw power of the band divided by the total power (1–100 Hz), with the average relative power defined as the relative power per Hz; e.g., for the theta band (4–8 Hz) P<sub>theta</sub>
= P(4–8 Hz)/P(1–100 Hz). Epochs spanning ± 500 ms from the auditory stimulus were extracted, and event related spectral activity was calculated using the EEGLAB toolbox [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref063" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>
]. Power was calculated using Morlet wavelets ranging from 3 to 10 cycles across 20–200 Hz.</p>

<sec id="sec016"><title>Locomotor activity</title>
<p>Locomotor effects of ketamine were also assessed in this second cohort of mice at least 2 weeks after electrophysiology experiments. Mice were individually placed in photocell tracking chambers (Med Associates, St Albans, VT, USA) to measure spontaneous baseline activity, and after 30 min were administered ketamine (10mg/kg, s.c.) or saline and allowed to explore the chamber for a further 60 min. Quantification of the distance travelled both before and after injection was objectively assessed using Activity Monitor software (Med Associates, St Albans, VT, USA).</p>

TM HET and WT mice from the first electrophysiology cohort were randomised to receive an injection of either ketamine (10 mg/kg s.c) or saline (10 ml/kg s.c). 10 min later, mice were sacrificed via cervical dislocation, the brains rapidly removed, and the prelimbic cortex manually dissected, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C. For protein extraction, tissue samples were ground on dry ice, the powder was dissolved in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 50mM TRIS, 0.1% SDS, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1% Triton X-100, Roche Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and Sigma Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail) then spun at 12,000g for 20 min at 4°C, and the supernatants were collected. Protein concentration of the supernatants was determined with a BCA protein assay kit and adjusted to a concentration of 1 mg/ml total protein in SDS loading buffer. After heating at 95°C for 5 min, proteins were separated on a 6% SDS polyacrylamide gel. The protein bands were electrophoretically transferred to PVDF membranes and immunoblotted with anti-NMDA NR2B (Invitrogen, mouse monoclonal, 1:2000) or anti-NMDA NR2B pY1472 (Novus Biological, rabbit polyclonal, 1:2000) antibodies. Immunoreactive bands were detected with a chemiluminescent substrate kit and exposed to X-ray film. The blots on the X-ray film were scanned and the sum optical density quantitatively analysed with Image J. The immunoreactivities of proteins were normalized against α-tubulin (Sigma, mouse monoclonal, 1:10000). All data were expressed as relative levels of the saline-treated WT mean.</p>

<sec id="sec018"><title>Statistical analysis</title>
<p>Statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS Statistics 20 (IBM, NY, USA) or Graphpad Prism 5 (La Jolla, CA, USA). For the electrophysiology studies, spectral power and specific frequency bands were compared using Mann Whitney U-tests (for between genotype analyses). The magnitude of the ketamine-induced increase in gamma power was quantified as the area under the curve and compared using Student’s t-test. Locomotor activity was assessed in 2 min time bins, and compared between genotypes both before and after ketamine injection using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), as per our previous work [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref064" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>
]. For gamma frequency event-related spectral perturbations (ERSP), individual trials were averaged into 2 min blocks (20 trials in each), and comparisons between drug conditions were made using the mean of 100 trials spanning 5–15 min post injection, and statistical significance was assessed with one-way repeated measures ANOVA. The relationship between ongoing gamma and ERSP was assessed with Pearson’s correlation.</p>
<p>For molecular studies, differences in normalised mRNA expression were tested with three-way ANOVA, with genotype, sex and age (PND) as the grouping variables, followed by post-hoc t-tests to identify differences between genotypes at specific ages and by Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) post-hoc analyses to identify specific differences between age groups. Differences in normalised Nrg1 protein expression were tested with two-way ANOVA with genotype and sex as the grouping variables. Differences in normalised NMDAR NR2B subunit protein expression were tested with two-way ANOVA, with genotype and ketamine treatment as the grouping variables, followed by post-hoc t-tests to identify differences between these variables. For all analyses, a significant result was indicated when p ≤ 0.05.</p>

These findings are consistent with the idea of a gain of Nrg1 function and an associated abnormal increase in gamma power at baseline, and may provide molecular and neurophysiological correlates of the behavioural abnormalities previously observed in this model.</p>

TM HET mice</title>
<p>The expression of all <italic>Nrg1</italic>
exons measured in the hippocampus in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice decreases across postnatal life, but appears to remain relatively stable in the prelimbic cortex. In humans, <italic>Nrg1</italic>
mRNA is developmentally regulated in the prefrontal cortex, as <italic>Nrg1</italic>
is expressed at higher levels in pre- and early postnatal life before decreasing to adult levels [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref067" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref068" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>
], consistent with our hippocampal results. However, our data suggest that there may be region- and species-specific elements involved in the developmental regulation of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
gene expression in the prefrontal cortex.</p>
<p>As expected, mRNA expression of the TMD of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
was decreased in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice in both hippocampus and prelimbic cortex, which is consistent with the location of the mutation in the gene. Importantly, there was no change in expression of the EGF-like, bioactive extracellular domain mRNA that is present in all <italic>Nrg1</italic>
isoforms. This finding, combined with the reduced TMD mRNA expression, challenges previous assumptions that the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse results in a loss of Nrg1 function [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
] due to loss of Nrg1 mRNA synthesis. Furthermore, this finding does not rule out the idea that more soluble Nrg1 could be available for signalling in the <italic>Nrg1 TM HET</italic>
mouse. This idea of increased Nrg1 function in this mouse may not be surprising given that the EGF-like domain is upstream of the TMD DNA excision and the known <italic>Nrg1</italic>
promoter regions are left intact by the genetic manipulation and Nrg1 splice variants lacking mRNA encoding the TM exist normally. Moreover, we did not observe any change in mRNA expression of the cysteine-rich domain that characterises the type III <italic>Nrg1</italic>
isoform family, and which is also upstream of the DNA mutation. Another unexpected result is that mRNA encoding the intracellular domain of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
, downstream of the gene mutation, is unaffected in the prelimbic cortex and only reduced at transient time points in the hippocampus. Furthermore, our measurement of Nrg1 protein using an antibody directed at the C-terminus did not reveal any alterations in protein expression in mutant mice. An intriguing possibility suggested by these observations is that more of the Nrg1 intracellular domain exists in a form that is untethered to the cell membrane and may be ‘free’ to back-signal to the nucleus [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref069" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
], thereby representing a possible gain of intracellular Nrg1 function.</p>
<p>There are at least three possible molecular explanations for the expression of wild type-like levels of intracellular regions of Nrg1 mRNA, which are downstream from the TMD mutation: 1) alternative splicing, 2) internal promoter usage, or 3) allelic compensation. We investigated the possibility of alternative splicing such that the TMD exon is skipped in some <italic>Nrg1</italic>
transcripts. We sequenced a shorter fragment amplified from exon 3 and exon 6 of the mouse type III <italic>Nrg1</italic>
sequence, but this did not contain the expected Nrg1 sequence, suggesting that the putative ΔTM is not expressed in our samples. Bioinformatic analysis of RNA sequencing data from samples of wild type mouse embryonic cortex [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
] further suggested that a ΔTM <italic>Nrg1</italic>
splice variant is not normally produced. However, data from wild type samples does not rule out the possibility that RNA sequencing in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse would reveal an enriched amount of a variant that was not detectable by our endpoint PCR methods. The design of the mutation, in which a transcription stop site was introduced, suggests that alternative splicing is an unlikely explanation for the maintenance of wild type-like ICD mRNA expression in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice, although it is possible that the neomycin resistance cassette facilitates cryptic splicing, whereby a novel product that includes the NEO cassette as well as the ICD could be produced. A second explanation for the relatively unchanged levels of Nrg1 intracellular domain mRNA is that there are novel transcription start sites that allow transcription to begin downstream from the TMD mutation. However, while several intronic regions of the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
genomic sequence are conserved between mammalian species, there is little evidence for putative novel promoters, based on the near absence of potential transcription factor binding sites either just upstream of, or downstream of the TMD mutation (determined by DNAse I hypersensitivity or digital genomic footprinting data obtained from ENCODE). A third possibility is that there is allelic compensation, such that synthesis of the wild type allele is up-regulated in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice. This possibility is not supported by the clear and significant decrease in expression of the mRNA encoding the TMD itself, which would not occur if the wild type allele were compensating for the allele containing the deletion. In sum, none of the three possible mechanisms to explain unaltered extracellular and unaltered intracellular Nrg1 mRNA levels in mice heterozygous for the TMD deletion is supported by our investigations, suggesting that <italic>Nrg1</italic>
mRNA regulation in brain is considerably complex and requires further research to understand more fully.</p>
<p>Western blot of hippocampal protein with a C-terminal Nrg1 antibody showed several immunoreactive bands. We did not observe any difference between <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET and WT mice in the pattern or extent of Nrg1 immunoreactivity corresponding to full-length or putatively cleaved Nrg1 protein. This was unexpected, since replacement of the transmembrane domain with a NEO cassette included the insertion of three stop codons and we expected to see lower expression of full-length Nrg1. Even if there were a novel splice variant lacking the transmembrane domain exon, removal of this exon of 103 bp would be expected to result in a reading frame shift, resulting in impaired translation downstream of the mutation. Indeed, <italic>in silico</italic>
translation of the predicted mRNA sequence of such a splice variant revealed a translation stop codon 66 bp downstream from the juxtamembrane region. While there are a number of possible open reading frames downstream of this stop signal, correct splicing and translation into functional protein emanating from the DNA strand containing the genetic TM deletion seems unlikely. Overall, our data suggest a possible compensatory post-transcriptional up-regulation of Nrg1 protein or lack of appropriate degradation and turnover of Nrg1 protein in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mutant mice such that steady state levels of Nrg1 may be maintained. Future research using antibodies to other parts of the Nrg1 protein, e.g. the N-terminal, will provide an extended the description of the protein changes in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mutant mice.</p>

<sec id="sec031"><title>Changes in gamma oscillations in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice</title>
<p>We measured gamma frequency oscillations in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice in order to observe the impact of the Nrg1 mutation on an electrophysiological measure of neuronal function that has been related to schizophrenia and to inhibitory interneuron circuits, the development of which is governed by Nrg1 signalling. We observed elevated gamma frequency power in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice in baseline recordings and concurrent reductions in sensory-driven gamma responses. This supports suggestions from animal studies [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref070" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref071" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
] and studies in people with schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>
] that elevations in baseline gamma activity represent increased ‘noise’ in neural networks, which may impair sensory-evoked gamma oscillations and information processing.</p>
<p>The mechanism(s) underlying the abnormal gamma frequency activity in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice is not clear. Nrg1 is a trophic factor that plays a role in several developmental processes, such as interneuron migration [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref073" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>
] and synapse development and maintenance [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref053" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
]. Moreover, considerable evidence suggests that Nrg1 signalling affects NMDA receptor function. ErbB4 and NMDA receptors attach to the synaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95 in the same location [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref055" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
], facilitating direct physical interaction between the two systems. Therefore, alterations in Nrg1 signalling are well placed to influence the development of neuronal circuitry and the regulation of gamma oscillations in the adult mouse. Existing literature supports this: exogenous Nrg1 increases the power of hippocampal gamma oscillation power in hippocampal slices [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref074" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>
]. This phenotype is comparable to what is observed in the current study, suggesting that Nrg1 signalling is, at the very least, not reduced in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse. In contrast, mice with a heterozygous deletion of the Nrg1 ‘bioactive’ EGF-like domain have reductions in the power of stimulus-induced 70 Hz oscillations (but not in other frequencies in the gamma range) [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref075" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>
]. A phenotype of reduced stimulus-evoked gamma oscillations is also observed in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse in our study, but the protocols between the two studies vary considerably, and no changes in ongoing power were reported in the Nrg1 heterozygous mouse [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref075" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>
]. It should also be noted that the Nrg1 EGF-like mutant mouse is clearly a loss of function model in terms of its mutation being in the ‘bioactive’ domain that binds with ErbB receptors, whereas our gene expression data shows that this region is intact in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse, as discussed earlier. Other in vitro studies demonstrate that overexpression of type I Nrg1 reduces the frequency of carbachol-induced gamma oscillations [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref076" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>
], although it is difficult to compare changes in frequency from in vitro preparations to changes in power observed in our mouse model. Furthermore, overexpression of type I Nrg1 may lead to developmental changes over the postnatal lifespan that result in different effects to the acute exposure to Nrg1 that occurred in the Fisahn and Anderson studies, making it difficult to directly compare these two mouse models. In light of this literature, our data seem most consistent with an overexpression of Nrg1, such that baseline oscillations are increased, as previously observed with Nrg1 stimulus <italic>in vitro</italic>
.</p>
<p>The relationship between Nrg1 and the molecular machinery underlying interneuron function and the generation of gamma oscillations requires further study. We observed no change in baseline levels of NMDA receptor mRNA; however, we found that the Nrg1 TMD mutation may influence the functional activation of NMDA receptors, by robustly decreasing cortical phosphorylation of Y1472 on the NR2B subunit in mutant mice compared to wild type-like mice, in agreement with a previous study [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>
]. The Y1472 residue is the major phosphorylation site of the NR2B subunit [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref077" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>
], and phosphorylation prevents internalisation of the NMDAR receptor, thereby prolonging its synaptic availability for activation and enhancing its cell surface function [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref078" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>
]. Disruptions to NMDAR phosphorylation may have a profound effect on NMDA receptor function and neuronal connectivity and lead to the generation of aberrant neural oscillations. However, the exact mechanism of the effect of the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM mutation on NMDARs is still hard to pinpoint. One interpretation is that reduced NR2B phosphorylation is consistent with a situation of reduced Nrg1 function, since Nrg1-ErbB4 signalling activates the Fyn-Pyk2 pathway, which increases the phosphorylation of the NR2B subunit [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>
]. On the other hand, increased Nrg1-ErbB4 signalling over a prolonged developmental period may lead to a down-regulation of the availability or sensitivity of ErbB4 receptors and a reduced participation in this signalling, which could lead to reduced NR2B phosphorylation upon stimulation.</p>
<p>Further study of the molecular and behavioural phenotypes arising from Nrg1-ErbB4 manipulation, particularly in early stages of development, will shed light on the many questions that remain regarding Nrg1 and neuronal function. The relationship between altered gamma oscillations and the behavioural phenotype of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice is still unclear, but the reduced gamma power may be pertinent to the working memory deficits previously identified in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
], since gamma oscillations have been directly linked with working memory [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref079" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref080" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>
]. We observed a baseline hyperlocomotor phenotype in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice, and an equivalent hyperlocomotor response to ketamine in <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET and wild type-like mice, replicating previous findings [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
,<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref081" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>
]. So far, research findings emphasise that Nrg1-ErbB4 mouse models are useful tools in schizophrenia research, including gain-of-function models for Nrg1 [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref082" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>
] but further investigation and integration of various approaches is required.</p>
<p>In conclusion, we present evidence that the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse is not a traditional gene ‘knock-out’ model of <italic>Nrg1</italic>
haploinsufficiency, and we suggest that our findings are consistent with a gain of function model, aligned with the finding of increased NRG1 in the brains of human patients with schizophrenia [<xref rid="pone.0124114.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. We suggest exercising caution when interpreting data from <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mice, bearing in mind that abnormalities might be a result of imbalanced Nrg1-ErbB signalling, rather than a simple increase or a decrease in Nrg1 function. The increased ongoing, and reduced auditory-evoked gamma frequency ECoG activity in the <italic>Nrg1</italic>
TM HET mouse add to the existing evidence of schizophrenia-relevant molecular, behavioural and cognitive alterations in this mouse, and may represent a neural mechanism by which altered Nrg1 signalling may contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.</p>
