Photoreceptor cells express the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 2 (PNPLA2) gene that codes for pigment epithelium-derived factor receptor (PEDF-R) (also known as ATGL). PEDF-R exhibits phospholipase activity that mediates the neurotrophic action of its ligand PEDF. Because phospholipids are the most abundant lipid class in the retina, we investigated the role of PEDF-R in photoreceptors by generating CRISPR Pnpla2 knock-out mouse lines in a retinal degeneration-free background. Pnpla2−/− mice had undetectable retinal Pnpla2 gene expression and PEDF-R protein levels as assayed by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence, respectively. The photoreceptors of mice deficient in PEDF-R had deformities as examined by histology and transmission electron microscopy. Pnpla2 knockdown diminished the PLA2 enzymatic activity of PEDF-R in the retina. Lipidomic analyses revealed the accumulation of lysophosphatidyl choline-DHA and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine-DHA in PEDF-R-deficient retinas, suggesting a possible causal link to photoreceptor dysfunction. Loss of PEDF-R decreased levels of rhodopsin, opsin, PKCα, and synaptophysin relative to controls. Pnpla2−/− photoreceptors had surface-exposed phosphatidylserine, and their nuclei were TUNEL positive and condensed, revealing an apoptotic onset. Paralleling its structural defects, PEDF-R deficiency compromised photoreceptor function in vivo as indicated by the attenuation of photoreceptor a- and b-waves in Pnpla2−/− and Pnpla2+/− mice relative to controls as determined by electroretinography. In conclusion, ablation of PEDF-R in mice caused alteration in phospholipid composition associated with malformation and malperformance of photoreceptors. These findings identify PEDF-R as an important component for photoreceptor structure and function, highlighting its role in phospholipid metabolism for retinal survival and its consequences.
