5-HT1A knockout (KO) mice display an anxious-like phenotype, whereas 5-HT1B KOs are over-aggressive. To identify serotoninergic correlates of these altered behaviors, autoradiographic measurements of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B serotonin (5-HT) receptors and transporter (5-HTT) were obtained using the radioligands [3H]8-OH-DPAT, [125I]cyanopindolol and [3H]citalopram, respectively. By comparison to wild-type, density of 5-HT1B receptors was unchanged throughout brain in 5-HT1A KOs, and that of 5-HT1A receptors in 5-HT1B KOs. In contrast, decreases in density of 5-HTT binding were measured in several brain regions of both genotypes. Moreover, 5-HTT binding density was significantly increased in the amygdalo-hippocampal nucleus and ventral hippocampus of the 5-HT1B KOs. Measurements of 5-HT axon length and number of axon varicosities by quantitative 5-HT immunocytochemistry revealed proportional increases in the density of 5-HT innervation in these two regions of 5-HT1B KOs, whereas none of the decreases in 5-HTT binding sites were associated with any such changes. Several conclusions could be drawn from these results: (i) 5-HT1B receptors do not adapt in 5-HT1A KOs, nor do 5-HT1A receptors in 5-HT1B KOs. (ii) 5-HTT is down-regulated in several brain regions of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B KO mice. (iii) This down-regulation could contribute to the anxious-like phenotype of the 5-HT1A KOs, by reducing 5-HT clearance in several territories of 5-HT innervation. (iv) The 5-HT hyperinnervation in the amygdalo-hippocampal nucleus and ventral hippocampus of 5-HT1B KOs could play a role in their increased aggressiveness, and might also explain their better performance in some cognitive tests. (v) These increases in density of 5-HT innervation provide the first evidence for a negative control of 5-HT neuron growth mediated by 5-HT1B receptors. 相似文献

Hibernation is a unique physiological state characterized by profound reversible sleep-like state, depression in body temperature and metabolism. The serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A ) receptor gene sequence in typical seasonal hibernator, ground squirrel ( Spermophilus undulatus ), was specified. It was found that the fragment encoding the fifth transmembrane domain showed 93.6% of homology with the analogous fragment of the mouse and rat genes and displayed 88.5% homology with the human 5-HT1A receptor gene. Using primers designed on the basis of obtained sequence, the expression of 5-HT1A receptor gene in the brain regions in active, entering into hibernation, hibernating and coming out of hibernation ground squirrels was investigated. Significant structure-specific changes were revealed in the 5-HT1A messenger RNA (mRNA) level in entry into hibernation and in arousal. An increase in the 5-HT1A gene expression was found in the hippocampus during the prehibernation period and in ground squirrels coming out of hibernation, thus confirming the idea of the hippocampus trigger role in the hibernation. Significant decrease in 5-HT1A receptor mRNA level in the midbrain was found in animals coming out of hibernation. There was no considerable changes in 5-HT1A receptor mRNA level in different stages of sleep–wake cycle in the frontal cortex. Despite drastically decreased body temperature in hibernating animals (about 37°C in active and 4–5°C in hibernation), 5-HT1A receptor mRNA level in all examined brain regions remained relatively high, suggesting the essential role of this 5-HT receptor subtype in the regulation of hibernation and associated hypothermia. 相似文献

1.Rat hypothalamic 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations are transiently sexually differentiated in the second week postpartum (pp), with higher levels in the female. In this report we investigate the possibility that 5-HT receptors may also exhibit sexual dimorphism in the neonatal period.2.5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors were quantitated by radioligand binding of [3H]ketanserin and [3H]8-OH DPAT, respectively, in hypothalamus and amygdala from male and female rats at days 8–16 pp.3.There was no sexual dimorphism or change in the density of 5-HT2A binding in hypothalamus or amygdala over days 8–16 pp. There was also no sexual dimorphism of 5-HT1A receptors.4.There was an increase in 5-HT1A receptor density in both the hypothalamus and the amygdala. In the hypothalamus, but not the amygdala, this increase was interrupted on day 14 by a decrease in 5-HT1A receptors, which we suggest may be of physiological significance in modifying the eventual pattern of adult agonistic activity.5.The results suggest that the sexual dimorphism in 5-HT turnover is predominantly presynaptic, relating to altered synthesis and/or release, and is not of sufficient magnitude or duration to produce adaptive responses in postsynaptic 5-HT1A or 5-HT2A receptors. 相似文献

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is a highly conserved protein essential for eukaryotic cell proliferation and is the only protein containing hypusine, [Nε-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)lysine]. eIF5A is activated by the post-translational synthesis of hypusine. eIF5A also undergoes an acetylation at specific Lys residue(s). In this study, we have investigated the effect of hypusine modification and acetylation on the subcellular localization of eIF5A. Immunocytochemical analyses showed differences in the distribution of non-hypusinated eIF5A precursor and the hypusine-containing mature eIF5A. While the precursor is found in both cytoplasm and nucleus, the hypusinated eIF5A is primarily localized in cytoplasm. eIF5A mutant proteins, defective in hypusine modification (K50A, K50R) were localized in a similar manner to the eIF5A precursor, whereas hypusine-modified mutant proteins (K47A, K47R, K68A) were localized mainly in the cytoplasm. These findings provide strong evidence that the hypusine modification of eIF5A dictates its localization in the cytoplasmic compartment where it is required for protein synthesis. 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

Inner-membrane transport is critical to cell function. Rab family GTPases play an important role in vesicle transport. In mammalian cells, Rab5 is reported to be involved in the regulation of endosome formation, phagocytosis and chromosome alignment. Here, we examined the role of the fission yeast Rab5 homologue Ypt5 using a point mutant allele. Mutant cells displayed abnormal cell morphology, mating, sporulation, endocytosis, vacuole fusion and responses to ion stress. Our data strongly suggest that fission yeast Rab5 is involved in the regulation of various types of cellular functions. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate if p-chloroamphetamine (PCA), which is neurotoxic to serotonin (5-HT) nerve terminals, was able to induce, like 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a region-specific regulation of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA expression. The effect of PCA on the expression of 5-HT7 receptors, which share some pharmacological properties with 5-HT1A receptors, was comparatively studied. PCA (2 x 5 mg/kg) produced a lasting depletion of 5-HT content in the rat frontal cortex and hippocampus. In the hippocampus, the maximal 5-HT depletion was found on day 21 (-70%), whereas in the cortex, the highest 5-HT depletion was found on day 14 (-73%), with a partial but significant recovery on day 21. At the latter time point, 5-HT1A receptor mRNA expression was increased by 80% in the cortex and decreased by 50% in the hippocampus. The 5-HT1A receptor mRNA expression was also enhanced after exposure to PCA of rat cortical but not of hippocampal primary cultures. In regard to 5-HT7 receptor mRNA expression, the most remarkable change after PCA was the great increase (+200%) in the brain-stem. Binding studies to 5-HT1A receptors matched the changes in receptor mRNA expression. Gel shift assays revealed enhanced nuclear protein binding to the KB sequence with use of cortical but not hippocampal extracts of PCA-treated rats. Overall, the data show region-specific changes in 5-HT receptor-type expression that may not be entirely dependent on the neurotoxic effect of PCA on 5-HT terminals. 相似文献

BTBR mice are potentially useful tools for autism research because their behavior parallels core social interaction impairments and restricted-repetitive behaviors. Altered regulation of central serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission may underlie such behavioral deficits. To test this, we compared 5-HT transporter (SERT), 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptor densities among BTBR and C57 strains. Autoradiographic [(3) H] cyanoimipramine (1 nM) binding to SERT was 20-30% lower throughout the adult BTBR brain as compared to C57BL/10J mice. In hippocampal membrane homogenates, [(3) H] citalopram maximal binding (B(max) ) to SERT was 95 ± 13 fmol/mg protein in BTBR and 171 ± 20 fmol/mg protein in C57BL/6J mice, and the BTBR dissociation constant (K(D) ) was 2.0 ± 0.3 nM versus 1.1 ± 0.2 in C57BL/6J mice. Hippocampal 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptor binding was similar among strains. However, 8-OH-DPAT-stimulated [(35) S] GTPγS binding in the BTBR hippocampal CA(1) region was 28% higher, indicating elevated 5-HT(1A) capacity to activate G-proteins. In BTBR mice, the SERT blocker, fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) and the 5-HT(1A) receptor partial-agonist, buspirone (2 mg/kg) enhanced social interactions. The D(2) /5-HT(2) receptor antagonist, risperidone (0.1 mg/kg) reduced marble burying, but failed to improve sociability. Overall, altered SERT and/or 5-HT(1A) functionality in hippocampus could contribute to the relatively low sociability of BTBR mice. 相似文献

The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediates cholesterol homeostasis through endocytosis of lipoprotein particles, particularly low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). Normally, the lipoprotein particles are released in the endosomes and the receptors recycle to the cell surface. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the LDLR. These mutations are divided into five functional classes where Class 5 mutations encode receptors that suffer from ligand-induced degradation and recycling deficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to prevent the fast ligand-induced degradation of Class 5-mutant LDLR and to restore its ability to recycle to the cell surface. E387K is a naturally occurring Class 5 mutation found in FH patients, and in the present study, we used Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with an E387K-mutant LDLR. Abrogation of endosomal acidification by adding bafdomycin A1 or addition of the irreversible serine protease inhibitors, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonyl fluoride (AEBSF) and 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin (DCI), prevented the degradation of the E387K-mutant LDLR. However, the undegraded receptor did not recycle to the cell surface in the presence of LDL. Unexpectedly, AEBSF caused aggregation of early endosome antigen-1positive endosomes and the intracellular trapped LDLR co-localized with these aggregated early endosomes. 相似文献

Abstract: Serotonergic neurons of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei are morphologically dissimilar. Recent results challenge previous evidence indicating a greater inhibition of dorsal raphe neurons after 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A ) autoreceptor activation. As both nuclei innervate different forebrain territories, this issue is critical to understanding the changes in brain function induced by anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs. Using microdialysis, we examined the modifications of 5-HT release induced by the selective 5-HT1A agonist ipsapirone in both neuronal pathways. Maximal and minimal basal 5-HT values (in the presence of 1 µ M citalopram) were 45.0 ± 4.8 fmol/fraction in the median raphe nucleus and 8.4 ± 0.4 fmol/fraction in the dorsal hippocampus. Ipsapirone (0.3, 3, and 10 mg/kg s.c.) reduced dose-dependently 5-HT in the two raphe nuclei and four forebrain areas. Maximal reductions (to ∼25% of predrug values) were observed in cortex and striatum and in median raphe nucleus. The effects were more moderate in dorsal and ventral hippocampus (to 66 and 50% of baseline, respectively). These results are consistent with a higher sensitivity of dorsal raphe neurons to 5-HT1A autoreceptor activation. Yet the differential reduction of 5-HT release in the median raphe nucleus and hippocampus suggests the presence of complex mechanisms of control of 5-HT release in these neurons. 相似文献

The inhibition of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine [( 3H]5-HT) binding in rat brain by 1-[2-(3-bromoacetamidophenyl)ethyl]-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (BrAcTFMPP) and that by spiperone were compared. Spiperone inhibition of [3H]5-HT binding in cortex was consistent with displacement from two sites with dissociation constants (KD) of 24 nM (5-HT-1A site) and 19 microM (5-HT-1B site) for spiperone. BrAcTFMPP also discriminated two subpopulations of [3H]5-HT binding sites with dissociation constants of 0.5 nM and 146 nM for the compound. The proportion of high-affinity sites for each compound represented about 35% of the specific [3H]5-HT binding. In the presence of 1 microM spiperone, a concentration that saturates the 5-HT-1A sites while having a minimal effect on 5-HT-1B sites, BrAcTFMPP displaced [3H]5-HT from a single site with a KD for BrAcTFMPP of 145 nM. The inhibition of [3H]5-HT binding by spiperone in the presence of 30 nM BrAcTFMPP was best fit by a single-site model with a KD of 21 microM for spiperone. In corpus striatum, 5-HT-1A sites, as defined with spiperone, represented 15% of the specific [3H]5-HT binding and 30 nM BrAcTFMPP also blocked about 15% of the binding. A significant difference between spiperone and BrAcTFMPP was their affinity for 5-HT-2 receptors. BrAcTFMPP (KD = 41 nM) had an 80-fold lower affinity for these sites than spiperone (KD = 0.5 nM). Thus, BrAcTFMPP and spiperone discriminate the same two subpopulations of [3H]5-HT binding sites and BrAcTFMPP displays a high affinity and a selectivity for 5-HT-1A sites versus both 5-HT-1B and 5-HT-2 sites. 相似文献

A new DNA sequence cry5Ad/orf2-5Ad (GenBank accession number EF219060 ) was isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis strain L366. This DNA sequence contains two ORFs: cry5Ad (a previously unreported member of the cry5A gene family) and orf2-5Ad . cry5Ad is unique among cry5A genes in that it encodes only the N-terminal region of a typical Cry5Aδ-endotoxin. The cry5Ad sequence includes homology blocks 1–5, which are present in most B. thuringiensis δ-endotoxins. The usual C-terminal region of a Cry5Aδ-endotoxin (including homology blocks 6–8) is encoded by orf2-5Ad . Both proteins encoded by cry5Ad and orf2-5Ad were found in IPTG-induced Escherichia coli , after a copy of cry5Ad/orf2-5Ad was cloned into the pQE32 expression vector and transformed into pREP4 E. coli cells. Both proteins were also found in parasporal crystal inclusions of B. thuringiensis L366. Sequencing of cDNA derived from transformed E. coli cells showed that the two ORFs are transcribed as a single mRNA. Extracts prepared from the recombinant E. coli expressing Cry5Ad and Orf2-5Ad were not toxic to nematode larvae ( Haemonchus contortus ), indicating that these two proteins are most likely not responsible for the nematocidal activity seen previously in the B. thuringiensis strain L366. 相似文献

Diadenosine 5′, 5?-p1, p4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) strongly inhibited ADP-ribosylation reaction of histone by purified bovine thymus poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. This compound showed a relatively weak inhibitory effect on Mg2+-dependent, enzyme-bound poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. Among various adenine nucleotides tested, including several diadenosine nucleotides with varying phosphate chain length, Ap4A was the most effective inhibitor of the histone-modification reaction. Ap5A and Ap6A showed slightly lower inhibitory effect than Ap4A. Kinetic analysis of the inhibitor (Ap4A) with varying concentration of substrate (NAD+) revealed that this compound is a “mixed type inhibitor”, with a Ki value of 5.1 μM. 相似文献
