Patterned cell death is a common feature of many neurodegenerative diseases. In patients with autosomal-recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) and mouse models of ARSACS, it has been observed that Purkinje cells in anterior cerebellar vermis are vulnerable to degeneration while those in posterior vermis are resilient. Purkinje cells are known to express certain molecules in a highly stereotyped, patterned manner across the cerebellum. One patterned molecule is zebrin, which is expressed in distinctive stripes across the cerebellar cortex. The different zones delineated by the expression pattern of zebrin and other patterned molecules have been implicated in the patterning of Purkinje cell death, raising the question of whether they contribute to cell death in ARSACS. We found that zebrin patterning appears normal prior to disease onset in Sacs–/– mice, suggesting that zebrin-positive and -negative Purkinje cell zones develop normally. We next observed that zebrin-negative Purkinje cells in anterior lobule III were preferentially susceptible to cell death, while anterior zebrin-positive cells and posterior zebrin-negative and -positive cells remained resilient even at late disease stages. The patterning of Purkinje cell innervation to the target neurons in the cerebellar nuclei (CN) showed a similar pattern of loss: neurons in the anterior CN, where inputs are predominantly zebrin-negative, displayed a loss of Purkinje cell innervation. In contrast, neurons in the posterior CN, which is innervated by both zebrin-negative and -positive puncta, had normal innervation. These results suggest that the location and the molecular identity of Purkinje cells determine their susceptibility to cell death in ARSACS.
