The clinical presentation of NF1 includes diverse neurological issues in pediatric and adult patients, ranging from learning disabilities, motor skill issues, and attention deficit disorder, to increased risk of depression and dementia. Preclinical research suggests that abnormal neuronal signaling mediates spatial learning and attention issues in NF1; however, drugs that improve phenotypes in models show inconclusive results in clinical trials, highlighting the need for a better understanding of NF1 pathophysiology and broader therapeutic options. Most NF1 patients show abnormalities in their brain white matter (WM) and myelin, and links with NF1 neuropathophysiology have been suggested; however, no current data can clearly support or refute this idea. We reported that myelin-targeted Nf1 mutation impacts oligodendrocyte signaling, myelin ultrastructure, WM connectivity, and sensory\u2013motor behaviors in mice; however, any impact on learning and memory remains unknown. Here, we adapted a voluntary running test\u2014the complex wheel (CW; a wheel with unevenly spaced rungs)\u2014to delineate fine motor skill learning curves following induction of an Nf1 mutation in pre-existing myelinating cells (pNf1 mice). We found that pNf1 mutant females experience delayed or impaired learning in the CW, while proper learning in pNf1 males is predominantly disrupted; these phenotypes add complexity to the gender-dependent learning differences in the mouse strain used. No broad differences in memory of acquired CW skills were detected in any gender, but gene-dose effects were observed at the studied time points. Finally, nitric oxide signaling regulation differentially impacted learning in wild type (WT)\/pNf1, male\/female mice. Our results provide evidence for fine motor skill learning issues upon induction of an Nf1 mutation in mature myelinating cells. Together with previous connectivity, cellular, and molecular analyses, these results diversify the potential treatments for neurological issues in NF1.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16030477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T07:22:32Z","timestamp":1705994552000},"page":"477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Gender-Specific Fine Motor Skill Learning Is Impaired by Myelin-Targeted Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Gene Mutation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Daniella P.","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0646-4554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela M.","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celeste S.","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Larisa M.","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashley","family":"Figueroa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marisol","family":"Villarreal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liya M.","family":"Manoj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saul","family":"Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karla D.","family":"L\u00f3pez-Lorenzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4001-897X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"L\u00f3pez-Ju\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, TX 78520, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.33139","article-title":"Birth incidence and prevalence of tumor-prone syndromes: Estimates from a UK family genetic register service","volume":"152A","author":"Evans","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am.
