PT674. VGF overexpression mice exhibited several behavioral abnormalities with disruption of brain organization: implication in mental disorders.
Objective: Recently, the number of patients suffered from mental disorders has been increased with increase of stress. The two hit hypothesis proposed that mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar and depression, may be caused by the damage in both of developmental and adult stage. VGF nerve growth factor inducible (VGF) is a neuropeptide induced by nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-deri...
متن کاملBehavioral Abnormalities Observed in Zfhx2-Deficient Mice
Zfhx2 (also known as zfh-5) encodes a transcription factor containing three homeobox domains and 18 Zn-finger motifs. We have reported that Zfhx2 mRNA is expressed mainly in differentiating neurons in the mouse brain and its expression level is negatively regulated by the antisense transcripts of Zfhx2. Although the expression profile of Zfhx2 suggests that ZFHX2 might have a role in a particul...
متن کاملTransgenic mice overexpressing reticulon 3 develop neuritic abnormalities.
Dystrophic neurites are swollen dendrites or axons recognizable near amyloid plaques as a part of important pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report herein that reticulon 3 (RTN3) is accumulated in a distinct population of dystrophic neurites named as RTN3 immunoreactive dystrophic neurites (RIDNs). The occurrence of RIDNs is concomitant with the formation of high-molecular-w...
متن کاملBehavioral Characterization of the Hyperphagia Synphilin-1 Overexpressing Mice
Synphilin-1 is a cytoplasmic protein that has been shown to be involved in the control of energy balance. Previously, we reported on the generation of a human synphilin-1 transgenic mouse model (SP1), in which overexpression of human synphilin-1 resulted in hyperphagia and obesity. Here, behavioral measures in SP1 mice were compared with those of their age-matched controls (NTg) at two time poi...
متن کاملRats overexpressing the dopamine transporter display behavioral and neurobiological abnormalities with relevance to repetitive disorders
The dopamine transporter (DAT) plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal dopamine signaling. DAT-overactivity has been linked to various neuropsychiatric disorders yet so far the direct pathological consequences of it has not been fully assessed. We here generated a transgenic rat model that via pronuclear microinjection overexpresses the DAT gene. Our results demonstrate that DAT-overexpress...
