Cohen Syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by variations in the gene coding for the vacuolar tri-vacuolar protein 13B (VPS13B or COH1). CS patients have common features including typical facial appearance, neutropenia, abnormal trunk fat distribution, microcephaly, myopia and retinal damage. My thesis project aimed to characterize the ophthalmologic phenotype of a mouse model Vps13bEx3/Ex3 to determine the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of CS retinopathy.First, we showed that Vps13bEx3/Ex3 mice develop a cataract between 2 and 3 months. Disorganization of the fibrous cells of the crystalline lens and their differentiation into mesenchymal cells were observed. At a more advanced stage, the external membrane of the crystalline lens is ruptured and the cortical and nuclear part of the crystalline lens separates. After the onset of cataract, the retina shows deformations characterized by thinning and deformation of its various layers which can lead to retinal folds 50 to 500µm long. There is also a strong proliferation of microglial cells as well as astrogliosis. The appearance of cataract in our model has led to an exhaustive review of the literature showing that cataract is present in 85% of patients at 40 years old and not related to retinopathy.We then showed a modification of the ocular phenotype in the presence of the Crb1Rd8 mutation. Crb1 is a transmembrane protein whose Rd8 variation leads to retinal disorganization. We have created cohorts of all possible Vps13b/Crb1 genotypes. Our preliminary analyses show early retinal dystrophy in mice Vps13bEx3/Ex3 Crb1Rd8/+, suggesting that Vps13b could be a Crb1 modifier gene. Molecular mechanisms that could lead to the appearance of SC retinopathy have been studied in Vps13bEx3/Ex3Crb1+/+ mice. The structure of the retina and these different cell populations were studied but did not reveal any abnormalities before the onset of the cataract. However, the study of inflammatory mechanisms showed an increase in sensitivity to IL6 in the retina of our model. This mechanism could be involved in the development of SC retinopathy. As the ocular phenotype is strongly decreased in mice Vps13bEx3/Ex3 Crb1+/+,the impact of environmental factors, especially light, has also been studied and shows that when subjected to high light intensity, mice develop retinopathies.In parallel, we have studied the ophthalmological characteristics of our Dijon cohort mainly using OCT. This study reveals (i) that macular edema is a frequent symptom of SC which remains relatively stable over time and (ii) that the onset of retinopathy is independent of that of cataract.Consequently, my PhD work has allowed to characterize the ophthalmic attacks of our Vps13bEx3/Ex3 mouse model and will allow to deepen the mechanistic knowledge of retinopathy and cataract of the CS, and could allow to develop a therapeutic target or prevention strategies for these ophthalmic lesions., Le Syndrome de Cohen (SC)(OMIM 216550) est une maladie autosomique récessive rare due à des variations dans le gène codant pour la protéine de tri vacuolaire 13B (VPS13B ou COH1). Les patients possèdent des caractéristiques cliniques typiques : une dysmorphie faciale, une neutropénie, une répartition anormale des graisses au niveau du tronc, une microcéphalie associée à une déficience intellectuelle, une myopie et des atteintes rétiniennes. Mon projet de thèse a eu pour but de caractériser le phénotype ophtalmologique du modèle murin du SC (Vps13bEx3/Ex3) afin de déterminer les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la mise en place de la rétinopathie du SC.Nous avons montré que les souris Vps13bEx3/Ex3 développent une cataracte entre 2 et 3 mois d’âge, avec une désorganisation des cellules fibreuses du cristallin et leur différenciation en cellules mésenchymateuses. À un stade plus avancé, la membrane externe du cristallin est rompue et les parties corticale et nucléaire du cristallin se séparent. Après l’apparition de la cataracte, la rétine présente des déformations se caractérisant par un amincissement et une déformation de ses différentes couches pouvant engendrer des plis rétiniens de 50 à 500µm de long. Il y a également une forte prolifération des cellules microgliales ainsi qu’une astrogliose. La découverte de la cataracte dans notre modèle a conduit à une revue exhaustive de la littérature permettant de mettre en évidence que la cataracte est présente chez 85% des patients à 40 ans et sans lien avec la rétinopathie.Nous avons ensuite montré une modification du phénotype oculaire en présence de la mutation Crb1Rd8. Crb1 est une protéine transmembranaire dont la variation Rd8 entraine une désorganisation de la rétine. Nous avons créé des cohortes de tous les génotypes Vps13b/Cr1 possibles. Nos analyses préliminaires montrent une dystrophie rétinienne précoce chez les souris Vps13bEx3/Ex3 Crb1Rd8/+, suggérant que Vps13b pourrait être un gène modificateur de Crb1. Les mécanismes moléculaires pouvant conduire à l’apparition de la rétinopathie du SC ont été étudiés sur des souris Vps13bEx3/Ex3Crb1+/+. La structure de la rétine et ses différentes populations cellulaires ont été étudiées mais n’ont pas révélé d’anomalies avant l’apparition de la cataracte. Cependant l’étude des mécanismes inflammatoires a montré une augmentation de la sensibilité à IL6 dans la rétine de notre modèle. Ce mécanisme pourrait être impliqué dans la mise en place de la rétinopathie. Le phénotype oculaire étant fortement diminué chez les souris Vps13bEx3/Ex3 Crb1+/+, l’impact des facteurs environnementaux, et en particulier la lumière, a également été étudié et montre que soumises à de fortes intensités lumineuses, les souris développent des rétinopathies.En parallèle, nous avons étudié les caractéristiques ophtalmologiques des patients de notre cohorte principalement à l’aide d’OCT. Cette étude révèle (i) que l’œdème maculaire est un symptôme fréquent du SC qui reste relativement stable dans le temps et (ii) que l’apparition de la rétinopathie est indépendante de celle de la cataracte.Ainsi mes travaux de doctorat ont permis de caractériser les atteintes ophtalmiques de notre modèle murin Vps13bEx3/Ex3. L’étude des mécanismes cellulaires impliqués dans la rétinopathie et la cataracte du SC doit être approfondie afin de permettre de trouver une cible thérapeutique ou des stratégies de prévention pour ces atteintes ophtalmiques.

International audience; Cohen syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic disorder due to variation in the VPS13B gene. It is characterized by a wide variety of clinical features that includes a typical facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, neutropenia, microcephaly, intellectual disability and severe visual impairments. In their early childhood, CS patients already suffer from myopia and a retinal dystrophy that affects both peripheral and central vision. In addition, long-term outcome studies showed that cataract reaches a high prevalence in adults with CS in their forties. To understand how VPS13B variants lead to these visual impairments and have the possibility to assess therapeutic approaches, we generated the Vps13bΔEx3/ΔEx3 mouse model. Cataract was almost systematic in 2-month-old animals. Eye fundi appeared normal until cataract development, but OCT, ERG and histological data suggest that rod homeostasis may be affected in the few Vps13bΔEx3/ΔEx3 mice without cataract after 5 months of age. Immunostaining of the lens revealed that cataract formation was associated with the appearance of large vacuoles in the cortical area, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis. In later stages, cataracts became hypermature, lens capsules ruptured, and sclerotic nuclear parts dissociated. Altogether, our results show that Vps13b has a function in lens homeostasis in mice and that the Vps13bΔEx3/ΔEx3 mouse line is a useful model to study the pathomechanism leading to CS-related cataract.

- Abstract
Cohen syndrome (CS) is a rare syndromic form of rod-cone dystrophy. Recent case reports have suggested that cystoid maculopathy (CM) could affect CS patients with an early onset and high prevalence. Our study aims at improving our understanding and management of CM in CS patients through a retrospective case series of ten CS patients with identified pathogenic variants in VPS13B. Longitudinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging was performed and treatment with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) was provided to reduce the volume of cystoid spaces. CM affected eight out of ten patients in our cohort. The youngest patient showed a strong progression of macular cysts from the age of 4.5 to 5 years despite oral CAI medication. Other teenage and young adult patients showed stable macular cysts with and without treatment. One patient showed a moderate decrease of cystoid spaces in the absence of treatment at 22 years of age. Through a correlative analysis we found that the volume of cystoid spaces was positively correlated to the thickness of peripheral and macular photoreceptor-related layers. This study suggests that CAI treatments may not suffice to improve CM in CS patients, and that CM may resolve spontaneously during adulthood as photoreceptor dystrophy progresses.
