Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the types of neurons that influence the head twitch response(HTR)induced by 5-hydroxytryptaminergic(5-HTergic)psychedelic mescaline in mice.METHODS①Adult male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal control group and mescaline(1.56,3.125,6.25,12.5,25 and 50 mg·kg-1)groups,with 15 mice in each group.The drugs of the corresponding groups were ip given,and the HTR frequency of mice was recorded for 30 min.② 5-HT 2A receptor(5-HT2AR)gene bilateral LoxP homozygous mice(5-HT2A flox/flox)were hybridized with calmodulin depen-dent protein kinaseⅡα cyclization recombination enzyme positive(CaMKⅡαcre/+),parvalbumin(PV)cre/+,somatostatin(SOM)cre/+or vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP)cre/+mice to obtain 5-HT2A R conditional knockout(cKO)mice(5-HT2AΔCaMKⅡα,5-HT2AΔPV,5-HT2AΔSOM and 5-HT2AΔVIP).Each type of cKO mice was randomly divided into the normal control group and mescaline 12.5 mg·kg-1 group,with 15 mice in each group.The drugs of the corresponding groups were ip given before the HTR frequency of mice within 30 min was recorded.③ Each type of cKO mice was randomly divided into the normal control group and mescaline 12.5 mg·kg-1 group,with 12 mice in each group.After receiving the corresponding drug via ip,they were placed in a spontaneous activity test box for 30 minutes and their activity levels were recorded.RESULTS ① Compared with the normal control group,mescaline 3.125,6.25,12.5 and 25 mg·kg-1 significantly increased the HTRs of mice(P<0.05,P<0.01).② Among the different neuronal types of 5-HT2AR cKO mice,only 5-HT2A ΔCaMKⅡα mice had no difference in HTR frequency between the normal control group and the mescaline 12.5 mg·kg-1 group.In 5-HT2AΔPV,5-HT2AΔSOM and 5-HT2AΔVIP mice,the HTRs of mice in the mescaline 12.5 mg·kg-1 group were significantly increased(P<0.01)compared with the normal control group.③ There was no difference in spontaneous activity between the normal control group and the mescaline 12.5 mg·kg-1 group of all cKO mice.CONCLU-SION Pyramidal neurons are involved in mediating the induction of mescaline on HTRs in mice.关键词
