Congenic mouse strain AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 carries the 59-70 cM fragment of chromosome 13 transferred from genome of cataleptic CBA/Lac strain to genome of AKR/J none-cataleptic strain. This fragment contains the major gene of predisposition to pinch-induced catalepsy. We investigated contribution of the fragment to regulation of sensitivity of catalepsy, sexual motivation and social investigation to classical tricyclic antidepressant imipramine. The sexual motivation was higher in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 than in AKR mice. Chronic imipramine treatment (25 mg/kg) reduced it in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice and had no effect on weakly expressed sexual motivation of AKR males. No significant effects of genotype or chronic imipramine treatment on characteristics of social interest were observed. Imipramine failed to alter catalepsy expression in AKR.CBA-DI3Mit76 mice. Possible molecular genetic mechanisms underlying difference in behavioral responses to antidepressant administration are discussed.  相似文献

The glycoprotein gp130 mediates intracellular transduction of signal from receptors of cytokines belonging to the interleukin-6 group. The linkage of the Il6st gene encoding the gp130 protein to heritable predisposition to hypertrophic freezing reaction (catalepsy) has been demonstrated previously in mice. The aim of the present work was to investigate the levels of Il6st mRNA, as well as the distribution of the gp130 protein and the degree of its glycosylation, in five brain regions of mice of the non-cataleptic AKR/J line and the cataleptic lines CBA/LacJ and congenic line AKR.CBA-D13Mit76, which carries the CBA variant of the Il6st gene in the AKR/J genome. These parameters were also studied in mice of the ASC line obtained by backcrossing CBA and AKR mice with the simultaneous selection for the high predisposition to catalepsy. Maximum levels of unglycosylated and glycosylated forms of the gp130 protein were detected in the midbrains of mice from all investigated lines. The highest levels of Il6st mRNA were found in the midbrain, striatum, and hypothalamus of mice of all lines. The level of Il6st mRNA in the striatum of AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice was higher than in the striatum of AKR/J mice. Therefore, one can assume that there is a connection between heritable catalepsy and the increased expression of the Il6st gene in the striatum.  相似文献

Catalepsy (pronounced motor inhibition) is a natural defensive reaction against predator. Recently, the quantitative trait locus for catalepsy was mapped on mouse chromosome 13 near the 5-HT(1A) serotonin receptor gene. Here, the linkage between catalepsy and the 5-HT(1A) receptor gene was verified using breeding experiment. Selective breeding for high predisposition to catalepsy was started from backcross BC[CBA x (CBA x AKR)] generation between catalepsy-prone (CBA) and catalepsy-resistant (AKR) mouse strains. CBA and AKR strains also differed in the 5-HT(1A) receptor functional activity. A rapid increase of cataleptic percentage from 21.2% in the backcrosses to 71% in the third generation of selective breeding (S3) was shown. The fragment of chromosome 13 including the 5-HT(1A) receptor gene was marked with D13Mit76 microsatellite. Breeding for catalepsy increased the concentration of CBA-derived and decreased the concentration of AKR-derived alleles of microsatellite D13Mit76 in the S1 and S2. All mice of the S9 and S12 were homozygous for CBA-derived allele of D13Mit76 marker. Mice of the S12 showed CBA-like receptor activity. These findings indicate that selective breeding for behavior can involve selection of polymorphic variants of the 5-HT(1A) receptor gene.  相似文献

Glycoprotein gp130 is involved in the interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and related cytokines' signaling. Linkage between the gp130 coding gene and freezing reaction (catalepsy) was shown. Here, we compared the expression and function of the gp130 in male mice of catalepsy‐resistant AKR/J strain and catalepsy‐prone congenic AKR.CBA‐D13Mit76 strain created by transferring the gp130 gene allele from catalepsy‐prone CBA/Lac to the genome of AKR/J strain. No difference in the gp130 expression in the frontal cortex, hippocampus and midbrain between AKR and AKR.CBA‐D13Mit76 mice was found. However, AKR.CBA‐D13Mit76 mice were more sensitive to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The administration of LPS (50 µg/kg, ip) significantly increased mRNA level of the gene coding IL‐6‐regulated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the midbrain, induced catalepsy and decreased locomotion in the open field and social investigation tests in AKR.CBA‐D13Mit76, but not in AKR mice. The result indicates (1) the association between gp130 and hereditary catalepsy, (2) increased functional activity rather than expression of gp130 in AKR.CBA‐D13Mit76 mice and (3) the involvement of gp130 in the mechanism of LPS‐induced alteration of behavior.  相似文献

Glycoprotein gp130 is involved in signaling out of significant cytokine receptors as interleukin-6 (IL-6), leukemia inhibitory factor and ciliary neurotrophic factor, which play critical role in immunity, inflammation and neurogenesis. IL-6 and brain neurotransmitter serotonin are involved in the mechanism of depression. The aim of this work was to investigat the role of protein gp130 in the regulation of expression of genes, coding the key enzyme of serotonin synthesis--tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2), 5-HT-transporter, 5-HT(1A)- and 5-HT(2A)-receptors of serotonin. The study was carried out on adult mouse males of AKR and congenic AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 strains, created by transfer of the fragment of chromosome 13 containing the gene coding gp130 protein from CBA/Lac strain to the genome of AKR/J strain. Decreased expression of 5-HT(1A) - 5-HT(2A)-receptor genes in hippocampus midbrain and TPH2 gene in midbrain in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice compared with AKR mice were shown. Activation of nonspecific immunity by bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration did not affect the genes expression in AKR mice, but increased 5-HT(2A)-receptor expression in midbrain and decreased 5-HT(1A)-receptor expression in cortex in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice. The results indicate: 1) the participation of gp130 in the regulation of TPH2, 5-HT(1A)- and 5-HT(2A)-receptor genes and 2) association of this protein in the genetically determined sensitivity to LPS.  相似文献

Glycoprotein gp130 is involved in signal transduction from the receptors of such important cytokines as interleukin-6 (IL-6), leukemia inhibitory factor, and ciliary neurotrophic factor, which play a critical role in immunity, inflammation, and neurogenesis. Both IL-6 and the brain neurotransmitter serotonin are involved in the mechanism of depression. The aim of this work was to investigate the role of gp130 in regulating the gene expression of the tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2), the key enzyme of the serotonin synthesis, as well as of the 5-HT transporter and the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. The study was carried out on adult male mice of the congenic strains AKR and AKR.CBA-D13Mit76; the latter was created by transferring a gp130-containing fragment of chromosome 13 from the CBA/Lac strain into the AKR/J genome. The expression of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor genes in the hippocampus and midbrain and of the TPH2 gene in the midbrain was decreased in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice in comparison to AKR mice. Activation of nonspecific immunity by administration of a bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide did not affect the gene expression in AKR mice but increased the 5-HT2A receptor expression in the midbrain and decreased the 5-HT1A receptor expression in the cortex in AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 mice. These results suggest that gp130 is involved in the regulation of TPH2, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor genes and is associated with the genetically determined sensitivity to lipopolysaccharides.  相似文献

In the present study, the 5‐HT2A and 5‐HT1A receptors functional activity and 5‐HT2A receptor gene expression were examined in the brain of ASC/Icg and congenic AKR.CBAD13Mit76C mouse strains (genetically predisposed to catalepsy) in comparison with the parental catalepsy‐resistant AKR/J and catalepsy‐prone CBA/Lac mouse strains. The significantly reduced 5‐HT2A receptor functional activity along with decreased 5‐HT2A receptor gene expression in the frontal cortex was found in all mice predisposed to catalepsy compared with catalepsy‐resistant AKR/J. 5‐HT2A agonist DOI (0.5 and 1 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduced catalepsy in ASC/Icg and CBA/Lac, but not in AKR.CBAD13Mit76C mice. Essential increase in 5‐HT1A receptor functional activity was shown in catalepsy‐prone mouse strains in comparison with catalepsy‐resistant AKR/J mice. However, in AKR.CBAD13Mit76C mice it was lower than in ASC/Icg and CBA/Lac mice. The inter‐relation between 5‐HT2A and 5‐HT1A receptors in the regulation of catalepsy was suggested. This suggestion was confirmed by prevention of DOI anticataleptic effect in ASC/Icg and CBA/Lac mice by pretreatment with 5‐HT1A receptor antagonist p‐MPPI (3 mg/kg, i.p.). At the same time, the activation of 5‐HT2A receptor led to the essential suppression of 5‐HT1A receptor functional activity, indicating the opposite effect of 5‐HT2A receptor on pre‐ and postsynaptic 5‐HT1A receptors. Thus, 5‐HT2A/5‐HT1A receptor interaction in the mechanism of catalepsy suppression in mice was shown.  相似文献

Catalepsy is a pathological animal behavior that is usually associated with dysfunctions in the striatal pallidal system of the brain and can be caused by different reasons. It was previously demonstrated that hereditary catalepsy is linked to the 111.35–116.16 million bp fragment of chromosome 13 in mice. The level of mRNA content in 42 genes localized in this fragment was determined in the study. Two brain departments that are functionally associated with catalepsy (striatum and substantia nigra) were studied in mice from AKR line (resistant to catalepsy), cataleptic CBA line, and recombinant cataleptic AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 (D13) line. The latter was obtained by the transfer of indicated fragment of chromosome 13 from the CBA line to the genome of the AKR line. It was found that two genes (Ndufs4 and Ppap2a) in the striatum and ten genes (Esm1, Fst, Gm10735, Gm15322, Gm15323, Gm15324, Gm15325, Il6st, Il31ra, and Itga1) in the substantia nigra differ in the level of mRNA expression in AKR and D13 lines. The Mcidas gene mRNA level is lower in both structures in D13 line mice than in the AKR line. The expression of the Hspb3 and Mocs2 genes (that encode heat shock protein and molybdenum cofactor synthesis, respectively) is lower in the substantia nigra of CBA and D13 cataleptic line mice than in the AKR line resistant to catalepsy. These genes are considered to be the most likely candidate genes of the catalepsy. The coexpression of a large amount of genes in these brain structures in sick animals indicates the existence of a complex gene network that regulates hereditary catalepsy.  相似文献

Mechanisms of maintenance of temperature homeostasis in warm and under effect of cold were studied in mice of AKR strain and of its coherent strain AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 with the changed gene i16st encoding the gp 130 receptor, via which IL-6 performs its action. Under thermoneutral conditions and under action of cold, there were recorded temperature parameters, total oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide release, respiratory coefficient, and electrical muscle activity. Animals of the studied strains demonstrated different reactions to equal cold effect. At cooling, all mice of the AKR strain entered the state of hypothermia by decreasing metabolism. Mice of the AKR.CBA-D13Mit76 line showed 2 different types of reaction: 39 % of the animals of this strain reacted like mice of the AKR strain, but the majority (61 %) resisted actively to the cold action, which was manifested as a marked increase of metabolism. Taking into account the gene penetrance, this can indicate effect of the gene i16st on choice of the active ("regulated") or passive ("dependent") way of the organism reacting to temperature actions.  相似文献

The results of experiments on the inheritance and neurobiological mechanism of high predisposition to tonic immobility (catalepsy) in CBA mice are discussed. Genetic analysis has demonstrated a monogenic inheritance of the predisposition to catalepsy. A set of polymorphic microsatellite markers has been used to demonstrate that the predisposition to catalepsy is linked to the distal fragment of mouse chromosome 13, which contains the gene of the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor. Pharmacological and biochemical evidence for the association between hereditary catalepsy and 5-HT1A receptor dysfunction are presented. The use of CBA mice for studying the mechanisms of depression and the effects of antidepressants is discussed.  相似文献

Genetic control of catalepsy in mice   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Pinch-induced immobility (catalepsy) was studied in mice of 9 inbred strains. CBA mice were found to be different from those of other strains both by the highest percent of cataleptics (56%) and by the highest duration of immobility. The Mendelian analysis of predisposition to catalepsy was performed on CBA and AKR mice strains contrasting in this feature. Reciprocal F1 hybrids did not display any catalepsy. Manifestation of cataleptics in the F2 and in CBA x F2 backcrosses suggested that catalepsy was inherited as a recessive, monogenic, autosomal feature.  相似文献

Immobility reaction or catalepsy is a natural passive defensive (cryptic) behavioral response to the appearance of a predator. Selection for high predisposition to catalepsy has been performed in a population of (CBA × (CBA × AKR)) backcrosses of the crossing between mouse lines prone and resistant to catalepsy (CBA and AKR, respectively). A rapid increase in the number of animals with catalepsy has been observed: from 23% in backcrosses to 71% in the S3 generation. Selection for catalepsy does not affect mouse anxiety in the open field and plus-maze tests. However, S8 and S9 mice are characterized by a decreased motor activity in the open-field test and an increased immobility in the forced swim and tail suspension tests, which is interpreted as an increase in “ depressiveness.” The results indicate that genetically determined catalepsy is related to depressive-like characteristics of defensive behavior.  相似文献

Immobility reaction or catalepsy is a natural passive defensive (lurking) behavioral response to the appearance of a predator. Selection for high predisposition to catalepsy has been performed in a population of (CBA x (CBA x AKR)) backcrosses of the crossing between mouse lines sensitive and resistant to catalepsy (VBA and AKR, respectively).

The passive avoidance learning and extinction in mice strain ASC with high predisposition to catalepsy as compared with mice of CBA and AKR strains were analyzed. Impairment of fear extinction as a major symptom of depression was revealed in ASC mice, whereas a delay of extinction in CBA mice and fast formation of new inhibitory learning in AKR mice were found. It is suggested that the long persistence of fear in ASC mice results from increased anxiety during the repeated presentation of a context in the absent of aversive stimulus. Defect of fear inhibition in ASC mice makes it possible to use this strain of mice as genetic model of depression.  相似文献

The C3H/HeJ (C3H) and CBA/J (CBA) mouse strains are classical mouse models of cancer susceptibility, exhibiting high risks for both spontaneous and chemically induced liver cancer. By analysis of backcrosses and intercrosses between C3H or CBA and resistant B6 mice, we have mapped a potent modifier of hepatocellular carcinoma development to distal chromosome 1, linked to the marker D1Mit33 with combined LOD(W) scores of approximately 5.9 (C3H) and 6.5 (CBA). We previously identified this region as one of two that modify susceptibility in the more distantly related C57BR/cdJ (BR) strain. Congenic B6.C3H(D1Mit5-D1Mit17) and B6.BR(D1Mit5-D1Mit17) mice developed significantly more liver tumors than B6 mice did (6- to 13-fold, P < 10(-11), in males; 3- to 4-fold, P < 10(-3), in females). Thus, distal chromosome 1 carries one or more genes that are sufficient to confer susceptibility to liver cancer.  相似文献

The activity of the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin biosynthesis, tryptophan hydroxylase, and specific binding of [3H]ketanserin to 5-HT2A receptors and [3H]8-OH-DPAT to 5-HT1A receptors in the striatum of genetically predisposed to catalepsy rats and mice have been studied. The activity of tryptophan hydroxylase in the striatum of rats bred for many generations for predisposition to catalepsy was higher than in nonselected rats. Mice of highly susceptible to pinch-induced catalepsy CBA strain also differed from noncataleptic AKR and C57BL mouse strains by higher activity of tryptophan hydroxylase in striatum. Inhibition of tryptophan hydroxylase with p-chlorophenylalanine or p-chloromethamphetamine significantly decreased immobility time in genetically predisposed to catalepsy rats and mice. A decrease in the [3H]ketanserin specific binding in the striatum of cataleptic rats and CBA mice was found indicating a decrease in 5-HT2A receptor density. A decrease in [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding in striatum of cataleptic rats but not in CBA mice was shown. These results indicate that serotonergic system of striatum is involved in the expression of hereditary catalepsy and suggest that hereditary catalepsy may result from genetic changes in the regulation of serotonin metabolism and reception in striatum.  相似文献

The use of polymorphic microsatellite markers for mapping alternatively distributed behavioral traits with incomplete penetrance was studied with special reference to inheritance of predisposition to catalepsy in mice. Using only backcrosses as a segregating population, the major gene for catalepsy was with high likelihood mapped to region 30-75 cM of murine chromosome 13. It was also established that this gene determines 20% of the trait penetrance whereas the remaining 31% of the observed penetrance are accounted for by numerous polygenes.  相似文献
