Bilirubin is produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin, and is normally catabolized and excreted. Neurotoxic accumulation of serum bilirubin often occurs in premature infants. The homozygous Gunn rat lacks uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase-1A1 (UGT1A1), the enzyme needed to biotransform bilirubin. This rodent model of hyperbilirubinemia emulates many aspects of bilirubin toxicity observed in the human infant. We demonstrate that choline supplementation in early postnatal development is neuroprotective in the choline restricted Gunn rat, when hyperbilirubinemia is induced on postnatal day 5. We first compared behaviors and cerebellar weight of pups born to dams consuming regular rat chow to those of dams consuming choline-restricted diets. Secondly, we measured behaviors and cerebellar weights of pups born to choline-restricted dams, reared on a choline-restricted diet, supplemented with or without choline and treated with or without sulfadimethoxine (SDMX). A choline-restricted diet did not change the behavioral outcomes, but cerebellar weight was reduced in the choline-restricted group regardless of genotype or SDMX administration. SDMX induced behavioral deficits in jj pups, and choline supplementation improved most behavioral effects and cerebellar weight in SDMX-treated jj rats. These results suggest that choline may be used as a safe and effective neuroprotective intervention against hyperbilirubinemia in the choline deficient premature infant.
