We recently developed a conditioned place preference (CPP) procedure, commonly used to study rewarding drug effects, to demonstrate that dominant sexually‐experienced CD‐1 male mice form CPP to contexts previously associated with defeating subordinate male C57BL/6J mice. Here we further characterized conditioned and unconditioned aggression behavior in CD‐1 mice. In Exp. 1 we used CD‐1 mice that displayed a variable spectrum of unconditioned aggressive behavior toward younger subordinate C57BL/6J intruder mice. We then trained the CD‐1 mice in the CPP procedure where one context was intruder‐paired, while a different context was not. We then tested for aggression CPP 1 day after training. In Exp. 2, we tested CD‐1 mice for aggression CPP 1 day and 18 days after training. In Exp. 3–4, we trained the CD‐1 mice to lever‐press for palatable food and tested them for footshock punishment‐induced suppression of food‐reinforced responding. In Exp. 5, we characterized unconditioned aggression in hybrid CD‐1 × C57BL/6J D1‐Cre or D2‐Cre F1 generation crosses. Persistent aggression CPP was observed in CD‐1 mice that either immediately attacked C57BL/6J mice during all screening sessions or mice that gradually developed aggressive behavior during the screening phase. In contrast, CD‐1 mice that did not attack the C57BL/6J mice during screening did not develop CPP to contexts previously paired with C57BL/6J mice. The aggressive phenotype did not predict resistance to punishment‐induced suppression of food‐reinforced responding. CD‐1 × D1‐Cre or D2‐Cre F1 transgenic mice showed strong unconditioned aggression. Our study demonstrates that aggression experience causes persistent CPP and introduces transgenic mice for circuit studies of aggression. 相似文献

During late pregnancy, female mice of the DBA/2J inbred strain are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior toward a standard stimulus intruder male than C57BL/6J females. This strain difference can not be accounted for by differences in circulating levels of progesterone (P) since pregnant DBA/2J and C57BL/6J females exhibit similar patterns of the steroid throughout pregnancy. Upon receiving subcutaneously implanted Silastic capsules containing P, virgin DBA/2J mice are more likely than virgin C57BL/6J to respond to the steroid by exhibiting aggression. Strain differences in the aggressive behavior exhibited by pregnant mice may be related to genotype-based variation in central neural tissue sensitivity to P. 相似文献

Aggressive and submissive behaviour was studied in CBA/Lac and C57BL/6J strains of mice during long-term intermale interaction with syngenic partners. It was shown that the aggressiveness of aggressive C57BL/6J animals was more expressive than that of CBA/Lac' ones. The structure of submissive behaviour of this strains' encounters was also significantly different. Prolonged-defeat experience changed the character of submissive behaviour of C57BL/6J, but not of CBA/Lac' ones. Aggression of dominant animals considerably decreased in both strains. It is suggested that CBA/Lac and C57BL/6J mice had different mechanisms of suppression of intermale aggression. 相似文献

The parameters have been studied of the aggressive reaction of male mice of CBA/Lac and C57BL/6J lines differing by olfactory sensitivity to zoosocial pheromone stimuli. It has been shown that CBA males, characterized by a high olfactory sensitivity, have lower latency of the first attack than C57BL males with low olfactory sensitivity. A prolonged distant exposition to an unknown litter and male appearance lowers the latency of the first attack in mice of the studied lines proportionally to their meanings demonstrated after short time exposition. The number of attacks and total time of attacking is considerably higher in C57BL mice during the whole test period (15 min) than in CBA mice in which aggressivity is already sharply lowered after 5 min of agonistic interactions. The factors are discussed, influencing the parameters of mice aggressive reaction. 相似文献

In rats, androgens in adulthood regulate the morphology of motoneurons in the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB), including the size of their somata and the length of their dendrites. There are conflicting reports about whether androgens exert similar influences on SNB motoneurons in mice. We castrated or sham-operated C57BL6J mice at 90 days of age and, thirty days later, injected cholera toxin conjugated horseradish peroxidase into the bulbocavernosus muscle (to label SNB motoneurons) on one side, and into intrinsic foot muscles contralaterally (to label motoneurons of the retrodorsolateral nucleus (RDLN)). Castrated mice had significantly smaller SNB somas compared to sham-operated mice while there were no differences in soma size of RDLN motoneurons. Dendritic length in C57BL6J mice, estimated in 3-dimensions, also decreased significantly after adult castration. In rats, androgens act directly through androgen receptors (AR) in SNB motoneurons to control soma size and nearly all SNB motoneurons contain AR. Since SNB somata in C57BL6J mice shrank after adult castration, we used immunocytochemistry to characterize AR expression in SNB cells as well as motoneurons in the RDLN and dorsolateral nucleus (DLN). A pattern of labeling matched that seen previously in rats: the highest percentage of AR-immunoreactive motoneurons are in the SNB (98%), the lowest in the RDLN (25%) and an intermediate number in the DLN (78%). This pattern of AR labeling is consistent with the possibility that androgens also act directly on SNB motoneurons in mice to regulate soma size in mice. 相似文献

In the following study, we asked which steroid receptors regulate aggression and arginine vasopressin (AVP) immunoreactivity (– ir) in several limbic regions. Using spontaneous mutant and knockout mice, we generated a novel cross of mice whose offspring lacked estrogen receptor α (ERα), androgen receptor (AR) or both ERα and AR. The wild-type (WT) males and females were compared with ERα knockout (ERαKO) male, mutated AR (Tfm) male and ERαKO/Tfm (double knockout; DKO) male littermates. Animals were gonadectomized and treated with 17β-estradiol (E2) prior to resident-intruder aggression tests. WT and Tfm males showed aggression whereas WT females, ERαKO and DKO males did not. In the lateral septum, WT and Tfm male brains had significantly denser AVP-ir as compared with WT females and DKO males. ERαKO male brains were intermediate in the amount of AVP-ir present. In the medial amygdala, brains from all genotypes had equivalent AVP-ir, except DKO males, which had significantly less AVP-ir. Overall, the expression of aggressive behavior coincided with AVP-ir in WT, Tfm and DKO males. However, in ERαKO males and WT females, the amount of AVP-ir was not associated with resident-intruder aggression. In sum we have shown that E2 acts via ERα to regulate aggression in male mice. In contrast both ERα and AR contribute to AVP-ir in limbic brain regions. 相似文献

Latency of the first attack, number of attacks and total attacking time in aggressive male C57BL/6J strain mice were studied during agonistic interactions with submissive mice which had a great defeat experience. Then, aggressive mice were placed together in order to find out which will be the winner in each pair. It has been shown that males with a shorter latency of the first attack and greater total attacking time gained the victory. 相似文献

It has been shown that dopaminergic systems are involved in mechanisms of aggressive behavior. Effects of SCH 23390 (dopamine Di receptors antagonist. 0-1 mg/kg, i/p, 30 min) on aggressive and individual behaviors were studied in male C57BL/6J mice with different experience of aggression. SCH 23390 reduced aggressive attacks in animals without preliminary experience of aggression. However total time of hostile behavior (sum of the total time of attacks, aggressive grooming and diggings) didn't changed. No significant effects on behaviors were found in mice with long (20 days) repeated experience of aggression. It was supposed that long aggressive experience produces pharmacological desensitization of Di receptors as a result of enhanced dopaminergic activity shown earlier in aggressive animals. 相似文献

Mice of C57BL/6J line with higher exploratory and motor activities and with lower emotionality and pain threshold recorded in standard tests, as compared with the animals of CBA/Lac line, have also been found to manifest a more expressed aggression in their intermale contacts in reaction to a syngeneous partner. It is suggested that the studied physiological and behavioural parameters may determine in considerable degree the character of aggressive and submissive mice behaviour in an agonistic interaction. 相似文献

Aspen wood-wool is preferred as a resting place, but does not affect intracage fighting of male BALB/c and C57BL/6J mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Aspen wood-wool, provided as nesting material, was evaluated as a possible improvement of cage environment for 10-14-week-old inbred male mice maintained in groups of six (BALB/c n = 72 and C57BL/6J n = 36). The daily behaviour of mice was video recorded and their body weight, food consumption, weights of some organs and serum corticosterone concentrations were measured. Aggressive interactions between cage mates and against a strange intruder as well as the number of wounds on the back of the animals was monitored in order to evaluate the effect of nesting material on intermale aggression. Nesting material did not affect the daily active/passive behaviour patterns of mice, although animals clearly preferred it as a resting place. BALB/c mice given nesting material showed less weight gain and smaller brown adipose tissue weights than animals without nesting material. The other characteristics measured were not affected by the presence of nesting material in either strain. The presence of nesting material had no effect on fighting in cages. C57BL/6J mice were more aggressive than BALB/c mice according to the number of wounded animals in a cage. Wounded BALB/c mice had enlarged spleens and decreased epididymal adipose tissue weights. In conclusion, the nesting material used in this study did not adversely affect the animals. On the other hand, the material was clearly preferred to conventional bedding as a resting place. These findings suggest that nesting material may improve the cage environment of laboratory mice. Furthermore, there was an indication of strain differences in aggressive behaviour. It could be suggested that C57BL/6J mice are less tolerant towards intruders and housing six mice per cage is not suitable for this strain. 相似文献

The ability to develop the catatonic-like state (reflex immobility reaction - RIR) due to stimulation of the skin at the scruff was investigated in mice of two strains — C57BL/6J and CBA/Lac. The total time of immobility and number of paroxysms during test were measured. It has been shown that the number of paroxysms was significantly fewer and the total time of immobility was significantly longer in CBA/Lac strain than in C57BL/6J. In each strain group housed animals as well as submissive ones with successive experience of defeats demonstrated a more expressed immobility than individually housed or aggressive males with successive experience of victories, respectively. Changing the social status in aggressive animals as a consequence of confrontation with aggressive males resulted in the increased immobility in CBA/Lac but not in C57BL/6J mice. The results suggest that the experience of defeat in submissive males is connected with increased ability to develop RIR. 相似文献

The intestinal mast cell response to Trichinella spiralis infection in mast cell-deficient w/wv mice
The intestinal mast cell response and lymphoblast activity, as measured by the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into mesenteric lymph node cells (MLN) of WBB6F1-w/wv(w/wv) mice, their normal congenic littermates (+/+) and C57BL/6J mice, were compared after infection with Trichinella spiralis. Marked and similar blast cell activity and an increase in number of cells were observed in the MLN of infected w/wv and C57BL/6J mice 7 and 15 days P.I. In contrast to C57BL/6J mice, primary T. spiralis intestinal infections were prolonged in w/wv mice and more muscle larvae were recovered from w/wv mice 29 days post-infection. In C57BL/6J mice mucosal mast cell (MMC) numbers increased on day 7 P.I. whereas in w/wv mice these cells did not increase significantly until day 15 post-infection, reaching a peak on day 22. In w/wv mice, the response to secondary infection as determined by an accelerated expulsion of adult worms did not occur until day 11 postchallenge whereas in +/+ and C57BL/6J mice worm expulsion was nearly complete at that time. In both primary and secondary infections, the MMC numbers in w/wv mice were significantly lower than in C57BL/6J or +/+ mice. The results suggest that prolongation of T. spiralis infection in w/wv mice is associated with delayed appearance of mast cells in the intestinal mucosa which may reflect slow generation of the intestinal inflammatory response. 相似文献

For group-living animals, discriminating among individuals and chasing unfamiliar strangers away from the home range are important to protect their territory. Previously, we reported that the familiar individual information conveyed by urine results in less aggressive behavior by resident male mice toward intruders. A resident male is aggressive toward an intruding unfamiliar castrated C57BL/6J mouse (unfamiliar castrated male [UFC]), whereas there is less aggression by the resident male when the UFC is swabbed with urine collected from the resident's cage mate. Urine is affected by various factors, including the environment. In this study, we investigated the effect of 2 living environments, the early developmental environment and the adult diet, on individual information conveyed in urine. Aggressive behavior toward UFCs was lower when UFCs were swabbed with cage mate urine or urine from a cage mate's littermate that was not living with the resident male (UFCL). Litters were cross-fostered, and we examined whether the pre- or postnatal period was important for formation of individual urine odor. The resident male displayed attack bites toward UFCs that were his cage mate's littermates but were fostered by another C57BL/6J dam. In addition, a castrated male that was reared with a cage mate (sharing the same postnatal environment) but that was not his littermate was also attacked by the resident male, suggesting that littermates that share the same pre- and postnatal environments provide similar (or identical) information, which inhibits aggression. In adulthood, even after dietary changes, the resident male showed less aggression toward UFCs when the UFCs were swabbed with the cage mate's urine, which was collected before a dietary change, indicating that individual information was not affected by dietary conditions in adulthood. In a habituation-dishabituation test, resident mice could discriminate among all pairs of mouse urine from each group. These results suggest that olfactory cues containing individual information are shared among littermates, and both the pre- and postnatal environments are important for formation of the information that inhibits aggressive behavior. This individual information might differ from the odor that is used for discriminating in the habituation-dishabituation test. 相似文献

CBA and C57BL/6J mice with aggressive and submissive types of zoo-social behavior fixed during 10-day confrontation testing demonstrated different immune response to immobilization stress. In aggressive mice with confrontation experience stress resulted in a decrease in the immune response in comparison with aggressive inexperienced mice. Therewith, the immune response of CBA mice did not differ from the control level (the immunized mice without experience of victories and defeats), and in C57BL/6 mice the immune response was two times lower than in the control. In contrast to the control and aggressive mice, stress did not suppress the immune response in submissive animals. It is suggested that stress-induced changes in the immune response depend on zoo-social rank of an individual underlain by a particular neurochemical pattern of the brain. 相似文献

We studied the effects of selective agonists of 5-HT1A receptors 8-OH-DPAT and flesinoxan on aggressive behavior of C57BL/6 male mice in the "resident-intruder" test and on defensive aggression of Norway rats toward man. 8-OH-DPAT (0.4 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduced the intermale aggression in mice and defensive aggression in rats (0.1-0.5 mg/kg, i.p.). In the dose of 0.5 mg/kg, flesinoxan inhibited the aggressive behavior in mice. These results suggest that activation of 5-HT1A receptors reduces different kinds of affective aggression. The results are discussed in terms of interaction between the well-known anxiolytic effects of 5-HT1A agonists and their antiaggressive properties. 相似文献

A major impediment to novel drug development has been the paucity of animal models that accurately reflect symptoms of affective disorders. In animal models, prolonged social stress has proven to be useful in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying affective-like disorders. When considering experimental approaches for studying depression, social defeat stress, in particular, has been shown to have excellent etiological, predictive, discriminative and face validity. Described here is a protocol whereby C57BL/6J mice that are repeatedly subjected to bouts of social defeat by a larger and aggressive CD-1 mouse results in the development of a clear depressive-like syndrome, characterized by enduring deficits in social interactions. Specifically, the protocol consists of three important stages, beginning with the selection of aggressive CD-1 mice, followed by agonistic social confrontations between the CD-1 and C57BL/6J mice, and concluding with the confirmation of social avoidance in subordinate C57BL/6J mice. The automated detection of social avoidance allows a marked increase in throughput, reproducibility and quantitative analysis. This protocol is highly adaptable, but in its most common form it requires 3-4 weeks for completion. 相似文献

Brain tissue from adult male and female mice of the C57BL/6J, C57BL/6J-AW-J, BALB/cJ, SJL/J, and DBA/2J genotypes was examined for brain weight, total protein, total lipid, cholesterol, phospholipid, plasmalogen, sulfatide, nonganglioside-glycolipid sphingosine, and ganglioside N-acetyl neuraminic acid, fatty acid, and sphingosine. No significant differences were found between sexes for any of these constituents. When compared to the overall average obtained for other animals, the DBA/2J, C57BL/6J-AW-J, and BALB/cJ mice contained lower quantities of plasmalogen and sulfatide compared to the overall averages obtained for the other genotypes. In addition, the sterol content in DBA/2J mice was significantly higher than the overall average value obtained for the other animals. 相似文献

The brain neurotransmitter serotonin is involved in the regulation of aggressive behavior. The main factor determining the brain serotonin level is the activity of the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter--tryptophan hydroxylase isoform (TPH) 2 encoded by the Tph2 gene. Recently the C1473G single-nucleotide polymorphism in the Tph2 gene was reported. Here we study the C1473G polymorphism in 10 inbred mouse strains (C57BL/6J, AKR/J, DD/He, C3H/HeJ, YT/Y, BALB/cJLac, CC57BR/Mv and A/He) and demonstrate the association of the polymorphism with brain TPH activity and intermale aggressiveness. TPH activity in the midbrain of mice homozygous for the 1473C allele was higher than that in mice carrying 1473G alleles. A close association of the 1473C allele with increased number of attacks towards another male was found. The results support a link between the C1473G polymorphism in Tph2 gene, tryptophan hydroxylase activity and intensity of intermale aggression. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine the conditions under which estrogen would promote male-like aggressive behavior in female mice. The results of the first experiment showed that most females chronically exposed to testosterone propionate (TP) in adulthood fought, whereas females similarly treated with estradiol benzoate (EB) did not display aggression. Another experiment found that, when either TP or EB was administered on the day of birth, adult females displayed aggression in response to daily EB injections during adult life. Also, the potentiating effect of neonatal hormone exposure declined over the first 12 days postpartum, as 100% of the Day 0, 75% of the Day 6, and 0% of the Day 12 and 18 TP-treated females fought in response to daily injections of 40 μg of EB in adulthood. The final study showed that, under the test conditions employed, the failure of a chronic adult EB regimen to promote aggression was not due to a competing tendency to display female sexual behavior. 相似文献
