焦虑是当今社会最普遍的精神障碍之一.药物疗法和心理疗法是焦虑症的主要治疗手段,后者因无副作用且不易反复而倍受重视.在焦虑症的心理行为疗法中,奖赏记忆缓解焦虑的模型及机制是一个重要的科学问题.对这一问题的研究将有助于理解其内在机制并开发更好的治疗焦虑症的方法.基于经典的小鼠焦虑行为评测工具——高架十字迷宫,我们首先考查了焦虑评测结合行为训练的可行性,发现小鼠在高架十字迷宫上反复评测后行为达到稳态,则可通过在开放臂末端设置食物奖赏来研究奖赏记忆对焦虑行为的影响;然后通过实验证明短期奖赏训练和无奖赏的强制开放臂暴露不能改善焦虑行为;进而确定并验证了奖赏训练改善焦虑行为的正确方式;最后在此行为模型中应用有致遗忘效应的蛋白激酶C的抑制剂白屈菜赤碱(chelerythrine),发现奖赏记忆形成被抑制伴随着焦虑行为改善的削弱.初步揭示了此行为模型涉及的细胞分子机制.  相似文献

该文旨在研究丙戊酸钠(valproic acid, VPA)和雌二醇(17β-Estradiol, E2)联合用药对去卵巢APP/PS1双转基因小鼠精神行为和脑内神经元的影响及可能机制。将3.5月龄雌性APP/PS1双转基因小鼠进行双侧卵巢切除(ovariectomy, OVX), 1个月后随机将小鼠分为4组,然后单独或联合应用VPA和E2处理1个月(生理盐水组为对照)。高架十字迷宫实验结果显示,与对照组相比, VPA和E2单独用药组小鼠进入开放臂的次数和在开臂停滞时间均有上升,但无统计学意义(P0.05),而VPA+E2联合用药组小鼠较对照组有显著上升(P0.05)。旷场实验结果显示,与对照组相比,各药物处理组小鼠在旷场中央区活动的路程和时间显著上调(P0.05),这可显著改善小鼠的焦虑情绪和自主性活动变化。与对照组相比, E2组和VPA+E2组NeuN的表达量升高具有统计学意义(P0.05),VPA组无明显改变(P0.05);高尔基染色结果显示, VPA+E2组树突棘密度升高较对照组和E2组均具有统计学意义(P0.05),是VPA组的1.39倍,但无显著统计学差异(P0.05)。Western blot结果显示, E2组和VPA+E2组与对照组相比ERα的表达量升高具有统计学差异(P0.05),其中VPA+E2组升高更为显著, VPA组与对照组相比没有明显差异(P0.05); VPA+E2组小鼠脑内Wnt3a表达量与对照组、VPA组和E2组相比其升高均具有统计学意义(P0.05); E2组和VPA+E2组β-Catenin含量相较对照组升高具有显著统计学意义(P0.05)。上述结果说明,丙戊酸钠联合雌二醇治疗可缓解小鼠的焦虑情绪并延缓小鼠脑内神经元的变性,这种改善作用可能与ERα-Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路激活相关。  相似文献

The protective efficacy of mAbs to Cryptococcus neoformans glucuronoxylomannan depends on Ab isotype. Previous studies in A/JCr and C57BL/6J mice showed relative protective efficacy of IgG1, IgG2a > IgG3. However, we now report that in C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice, IgG3 is protective while IgG1 is not protective, with neither isotype being protective in 129/Sv mice. IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG3 had different effects on IFN-gamma expression in infected C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice. IgG1-treated C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice had significantly more pulmonary eosinophilia than IgG2a- and IgG3-treated C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice. C. neoformans infection and Ab administration had different effects on FcgammaRI, FcgammaRII, and FcgammaRIII expression in C57BL/6J, 129/Sv, and C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice. Our results indicate that the relative efficacy of Ab isotype function against C. neoformans is a function of the genetic background of the host and that IgG3-mediated protection in C57BL/6J x 129/Sv mice was associated with lower levels of IFN-gamma and fewer pulmonary eosinophils. The dependence of isotype efficacy on host genetics underscores a previously unsuspected complex relationship between the cellular and humoral arms of the adaptive immune response.  相似文献

In humans, anxiety disorders are often accompanied by an overactive autonomic nervous system, reflected in increased body temperature (BT) and heart rate (HR). In rodents, comparable effects are found after exposure to stress. These autonomic parameters can give important information on stress and anxiety responses in mice. In the present experiments, stress reactivity of three frequently used mouse strains [129 Sv/Ev, Swiss Webster (SW) and C57 BL/6] was assessed using their autonomic stress responses. BT, HR and activity were telemetrically measured. Undisturbed circadian rhythms already showed clear differences between the mouse strains. Hereafter, autonomic responses to stressors with increasing intensity were measured. Strain differences were found in magnitude and duration of the stress responses, especially after high-intensity stressors. Generally, C57BL/6 mice showed the largest autonomic response, SW the lowest and the 129Sv/Ev the intermediate response. Interestingly, the observed ranking in autonomic stress response does not match the behavioral stress responsivity of these strains. Finally, sensitivity to the anxiolytic diazepam (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg) was tested using the stress-induced hyperthermia paradigm. Pharmacological sensitivity to diazepam differed between the strains with the 129Sv/Ev being most sensitive. These studies show that simultaneous measurement of behavioral and autonomic parameters under stressful conditions contributes considerably to a better interpretation of anxiety and stress levels in mice.  相似文献

Angiogenesis is a critical element for adaptation to low levels of oxygen and occurs following long-term exposure to mild hypoxia in rats. To test whether a similar response in mice occurs, CD1, 129/Sv, C57Bl/6, and Balb/c mice were exposed to 10% oxygen for up to 3 wk. All mice showed significant increases in the percentage of packed red blood cells, and CD1 and 129/Sv mice showed increased respiration frequency and minute volume, common physiological measures of hypoxia. Significant angiogenesis was observed in all strains except Balb/c following 3-wk exposure to chronic hypoxia. CD1 hypoxic mice had the largest increase (88%), followed by C57Bl/6 (48%), 129/Sv (41%), and Balb/c (12%), suggesting that some mice undergo more remodeling than others in response to hypoxia. Protein expression analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and Ang2, and Tie2 were examined to determine whether regulation of different angiogenic proteins could account for the differences observed in hypoxia-induced angiogenesis. CD1 mice showed the strongest upregulation of VEGF, Ang2, Ang1, and Tie2, whereas Balb/c had only subtle increases in VEGF and no change in the other proteins. C57Bl/6 mice showed a regulatory response that fell between the CD1 and Balb/c mice, consistent with the intermediate increase in angiogenesis. Our results suggest that genetic heterogeneity plays a role in angiogenesis and regulation of angiogenic proteins and needs to be accounted for when designing and interpreting experiments using transgenic mice and when studying in vivo models of angiogenesis.  相似文献

Mast cell responses are influenced by a diverse array of environmental factors, but little is known about the effect of genetic background. In this study, we report that 129/Sv mice had high levels of circulating IgE, increased expression of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilonRI), and greater sensitivity to anaphylaxis when compared with C57BL/6 mice. Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from 129/Sv mice showed more robust degranulation upon the engagement of Fc epsilonRI. Deficiency of the Src family kinase Lyn enhanced degranulation in 129/Sv BMMCs but inhibited this response in C57BL/6 cells. C57BL/6 lyn(-/-) BMMCs had reduced expression of the Src family kinase Fyn, and increasing its expression markedly enhanced degranulation. In human mast cells the silencing of Lyn or Fyn expression resulted in hyperdegranulation or hypodegranulation, respectively. The findings demonstrate a genetic influence on the extent of a mast cell's response and identify Fyn kinase as a contributory determinant.  相似文献

Here we present a newly developed tool for continuous recordings and analysis of novelty-induced and baseline behaviour of mice in a home cage-like environment. Aim of this study was to demonstrate the strength of this method by characterizing four inbred strains of mice, C57BL/6, DBA/2, C3H and 129S2/Sv, on locomotor activity. Strains differed in circadian rhythmicity, novelty-induced activity and the time-course of specific behavioural elements. For instance, C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice showed a much faster decrease in activity over time than C3H and 129S2/Sv mice. Principal component analysis revealed two major factors within locomotor activity, which were defined as 'level of activity' and 'velocity/stops'. These factors were able to distinguish strains. Interestingly, mice that displayed high levels of activity in the initial phase of the home cage test were also highly active during an open-field test. Velocity and the number of stops during movement correlated positively with anxiety-related behaviour in the elevated plus maze. The use of an automated home cage observation system yields temporal changes in elements of locomotor activity with an advanced level of spatial resolution. Moreover, it avoids the confounding influence of human intervention and saves time-consuming human observations.  相似文献

Adult-onset hypothyroidism induces cognitive impairments in learning and memory. Thyroxin (T4) replacement therapy appears to be effective in biochemically restoring euthyroidism, as evidenced by serum T4 and triiodothyronine concentrations within the normal range, although some the patients still exhibit cognitive dysfunctions. Here, we investigated the cognitive functions of propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroid mice in C57BL/6j and 129/Sv strains using the passive avoidance task and the novel object recognition test. Cognitive dysfunctions in hypothyroid mice were found only in the C57BL/6j strain, not in the 129/Sv strain. Further, we found that cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain increased the membrane potential and input resistance with decreased capacitance, and that they decreased the amplitude and width of action potential in hypothyroid mice in the C57BL/6j strain but not in those in the 129/Sv strain, compared with the controls for each strain. Additionally, the excitability of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain was reduced in the hypothyroid mice in the C57BL/6j strain. These results indicated that transgenic mice with the C57BL/6j genetic background are more suitable for revealing the mechanism underlying hypothyroidism-induced cognitive dysfunction, and that the cholinergic basal forebrain may be the appropriate target for treating cognitive dysfunction in adult-onset hypothyroidism.

One of the characteristic manifestations of several neurodegenerative diseases is the progressive decline in cognitive ability. In order to determine the suitability of six mouse strains (129S2/Sv, BALB/c, C3H/He, C57BL/6j, CBA/Ca and DBA/2) as transgenic background strains, we investigated the performance on a variety of tasks designed to identify subtle changes in cognition. In addition, a test of exploratory behaviour was used to probe the level of underlying anxiety in these mouse strains, as anxiety can be a confounding factor on behavioural performance generally. The C3H/He mice exhibited the least anxiogenic behavioural profile spending most time on the open arms of the maze, in contrast to the 129S2/Sv mice which spent the least amount of time in this location and were the quickest to move into a closed arm. The C3H/He mouse strain failed to acquire a visual discrimination task and failed to demonstrate learning on a water maze spatial learning task, in contrast to the CBA/Ca, DBA/2 and C57BL/6j strains which demonstrated a degree of learning in both tasks. No significant strain differences were identified on the object recognition task. These data, taken together, suggest that care must be taken when choosing cognitive tasks to be used with particular mouse strains and that task sensitivity must be considered as a critical element to research protocols with regard to these mouse strains.  相似文献

Immunocompetent mice 129Sv (129) and C57BL/6 (B6) mice are similarly susceptible to Anaplasma phagocytophilum. We now show that 129 mice lacking interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) develop more severe infection with A. phagocytophilum than IFN-gamma deficient B6 mice. These data demonstrate that there is an inherent increased susceptibility of 129 mice, compared with B6 mice, to A. phagocytophilum that can only be discerned in the absence of IFN-gamma.  相似文献

Trp53 is a protein which is able to control semen parameters in mice, but the extent of that control depends on the genetic background of the mouse strain. Males from C57BL/6Kw, 129/Sv, C57BL×129 -p53+/+ (wild type controls) and C57BL×129-p53-/- (mutants) strains were used in the study, and histology and light microscopy were applied to evaluate the influence of genetic background and Trp53 (p53) genotype on testes morphology and semen quality in male mice. We showed that sperm head morphology, maturity and tail membrane integrity were controlled only by the genetic background of C57BL/6Kw and 129/Sv males, while testes weight and sperm concentration depended on both the genetic background and p53 genotype. Cell accumulation in seminiferous tubules may be responsible for heavier testes of p53-deficient males. In addition, to examine the effect of sex and p53 genotype on embryo lethality, pairs of control (C57BL×129-p53+/+) and heterozygous (C57BL×129-p53+/-) mice were examined. Before day 7 post coitum (dpc), female and male embryos were equally resorbed in both crosses types. After 7 dpc, preferential female embryo lethality in the heterozygote pairs was responsible for the skewed sex ratio in their progeny. Also, mutant female and male newborns were underrepresented in the litters of the heterozygous breeding pairs.  相似文献

品系对小鼠胚胎干细胞分离效率的影响   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
为了充分利用小鼠胚胎干(ES)细胞,就必须从众多小鼠品系中分离ES细胞系。本研究通过传统的成纤维细胞饲养层法,从CD-1、129/Sv、C57BL/6J和129/Sv×C57BL/6J四种不同遗传背景的小鼠中分离得到12个ES细胞系,而从KM小鼠没有得到ES细胞系。所有的ES细胞系都具有典型的ES细胞特征,AKP染色呈阳性。从四种不同遗传背景的ES细胞系得到了包含多种组织的畸胎瘤;与桑椹胚聚合后,都得到了生殖系嵌合体。结果表明:品系对小鼠ES细胞的分离有显著影响,利用129小鼠以及包含129小鼠遗传背景的杂交小鼠都较容易分离ES细胞,由ES细胞得到生殖系嵌合体的效率在不同品系间有显著差异,从杂交ES细胞比近交ES细胞中更容易得到生殖系嵌合体。  相似文献
