我们以前的实验表明,全身性血清素(5-羟色胺,5-HT)的耗竭,类似于情绪障碍患者的水平,增强杏仁核(LA)外侧核的神经元活动,并增强恐惧行为。然而,在LA中5-HT的单独消耗的影响,以及增强的多巴胺能活性的分子机制是未知的。在本研究中,我们测试的假设,5-HT在LA的耗竭诱导增加恐惧行为,并伴随着增强谷氨酸受体(GluR)的表达。双侧左心房注入5,7-二羟色胺(每侧4 μg)可引起局部肾上腺素能纤维减少,导致5-HT浓度降低。低5-羟色胺在LA的诱导升高恐惧增强惊吓,与GluR 1 mRNA和GluR 1蛋白表达的平行增加。这些发现表明,低浓度的5-HT在LA可能通过增强GluR介导的机制,促进恐惧行为。此外,我们的数据支持5-HT和谷氨酸在精神病理学之间的关系。
Our previous experiments demonstrated that systemic depletion of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), similar to levels reported in patients with emotional disorders, enhanced glutamateric activity in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) and potentiated fear behaviors. However, the effects of isolated depletion of 5-HT in the LA, and the molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced glutamatergic activity are unknown. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that depletion of 5-HT in the LA induces increased fear behavior, and concomitantly enhances glutamate receptor (GluR) expression. Bilateral infusions of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (4 μg per side) into the LA produced a regional reduction of serotonergic fibers, resulting in decreased 5-HT concentrations. The induction of low 5-HT in the LA elevated fear-potentiated startle, with a parallel increase in GluR1 mRNA and GluR1 protein expression. These findings suggest that low 5-HT concentrations in the LA may facilitate fear behavior through enhanced GluR-mediated mechanisms. Moreover, our data support a relationship between 5-HT and glutamate in psychopathologies.
