Neonatal Ogg1/Mutyh knockout mice have altered inflammatory gene response compared to wildtype mice in the brain and lung after hypoxia-reoxygenation.

Background 8-Oxoguanine DNA-glycosylase 1 (OGG1) and mutY DNA glycosylase (MUTYH) are crucial in the repair of the oxidative DNA lesion 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine caused by hypoxia-reoxygenation injury. Our objective was to compare the gene expression changes after hypoxia-reoxygenation in neonatal Ogg1-Mutyh double knockout mice (OM) and wildtype mice (WT), and study the gene response in OM after hyperoxic reoxygenation compared to normoxic. Methods Postnatal day 7 mice were subjected to 2 h of hypoxia (8% O2) followed by reoxygenation in either 60% O2 or air, and sacrificed right after completed reoxygenation (T0h) or after 72 h (T72h). The gene expression of 44 a priori selected genes was examined in the hippocampus/striatum and lung. Results We found that OM had an altered gene response compared to WT in 21 genes in the brain and 24 genes in the lung. OM had a lower expression than WT of inflammatory genes in the brain at T0h, and higher expression at T72h in both the brain and lung. In the lung of OM, five genes were differentially expressed after hyperoxic reoxygenation compared to normoxic. Conclusion For the first time, we report that Ogg1 and Mutyh in combination protect against late inflammatory gene activation in the hippocampus/striatum and lung after neonatal hypoxia-reoxygenation.
