Abstract
Background: Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the AGXT gene, which encodes for the hepatocyte-specific enzyme alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). AGT catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine in the peroxisome and prevents the build-up of oxalate which occurs in PH1. This causes nephrocalcinosis, systemic oxalosis, and end-stage renal disease. Liver transplant is currently the only curative treatment available. Although a mouse model has previously been generated, the severity of the reported disease phenotype varies, and a better understanding of the genotype-phenotype relationship in both the mouse model and human disease is needed.
Methods: We developed an Agxt-/- mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. We performed a natural history study and ethylene glycol (EG) challenge to evaluate the phenotype of this mouse.
Results: Agxt-/- mice had elevated plasma glycolate, urine glycolate, and urine oxalate levels compared to Agxt+/+ mice. A small subset of Agxt-/- mice developed minimal nephrocalcinosis (1/8 at 12 weeks, 1/8 at 26 weeks, 0/8 at 39 weeks, and 3/7 at 52 weeks of age). When challenged with 0.7% or 1.2% EG in drinking water for 3 weeks, 2/10 Agxt-/- mice developed nephrocalcinosis. Agxt2mRNA and protein expression were unchanged between Agxt-/- and Agxt+/+ mice. Hydroxy acid oxidase 1(Hao1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels were unchanged, but the corresponding glycolate oxidase protein was increased in Agxt-/- mice.
Conclusion: We have created an Agxt-/- mouse model which resembles much of the clinical phenotype of PH1 patients and will be a useful tool in developing novel therapies for this devastating disease.

Key words: Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1, CRISPR/Cas9, nephrocalcinosis, inborn error of metabolism
