尽管生长激素释放肽以其对食欲的刺激作用和调节生长激素释放而闻名,但据报道,它对小鼠的学习和记忆形成也有有益的作用。然而,关于内源性生长素释放肽是否作用于大脑下丘脑外区域的受体仍存在争议。生长素释放肽受体 (GHS-R1a) 在表达 1 型多巴胺受体 (DRD1a) 和 2 型 (DRD2) 多巴胺受体 (DRD2) 的神经元中共表达,我们已经证明,未被激动剂 (apo-GHSR1a) 占据的 GHS-R1a 子集与这两种受体异二聚化,在体外和体内调节多巴胺信号传导。为了确定 ghsr 消融对大脑功能的影响,对 C57BL6/J 背景的同类 ghsr−/− 小鼠进行了一系列行为测试。我们发现 ghsr−/− 小鼠表现出正常的平衡、运动、协调和痛觉,在莫里斯水迷宫中表现优于 ghsr+/+ 小鼠,但在情境恐惧调节方面表现出缺陷。
Although the hormone ghrelin is best known for its stimulatory effect on appetite and regulation of growth hormone release, it is also reported to have beneficial effects on learning and memory formation in mice. Nevertheless, controversy exists about whether endogenous ghrelin acts on its receptors in extra-hypothalamic areas of the brain. The ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) is co-expressed in neurons that express dopamine receptor type-1 (DRD1a) and type-2 (DRD2), and we have shown that a subset of GHS-R1a, which are not occupied by the agonist (apo-GHSR1a), heterodimerize with these two receptors to regulate dopamine signaling in vitro and in vivo. To determine the consequences of ghsr ablation on brain function, congenic ghsr−/− mice on the C57BL6/J background were subjected to a battery of behavioral tests. We show that the ghsr−/− mice exhibit normal balance, movement, coordination, and pain sensation, outperform ghsr+/+ mice in the Morris water maze, but show deficits in contextual fear conditioning.
