Project description:Gambling is an addictive disorder with serious societal and personal costs. To-date, there are no approved pharmacological treatments for gambling disorder. Evidence suggests a role for dopamine in gambling disorder and thus may provide a therapeutic target. The present study therefore aimed to investigate the effects of selective antagonists and agonists of D2, D3 and D4 receptors in a rodent analogue of the Iowa gambling task used clinically. In this rat gambling task (rGT), animals are trained to associate different response holes with different magnitudes and probabilities of food pellet rewards and punishing time-out periods. As in the Iowa gambling task, the optimal strategy is to avoid the tempting high-risk high-reward options, and instead favor those linked to smaller per-trial rewards but also lower punishments, thereby maximizing the amount of reward earned over time. Administration of those selective ligands did not affect decision making under the rGT. Only the D4 drug had modest effects on latency measures suggesting that D4 may contribute in some ways to decision making under this task.

Project description:The project aims to to understand the response of the lin genes in Sphingobium indicum B90A under the stress of HCH isomers and the metabolites formed during degradation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Entire cell proteome from Sphingobium indicum B90A was extracted in presence of four HCH isomers. Quantitative proteomics confirmed the constitutive expression of the linA, linB and linC genes of the HCH degradation pathway crucial for the initiation of HCH isomers degradation. LinM and LinN were upregulated in the presence of β- and δ-isomers suggested the important role of ABC transporter system in the depletion of β- and δ-HCH. Besides this HCH isomers induced oxidative stress caused systemic changes in strain B90A proteome.

Project description:Background and purposeThe D(2)/D(3) receptor antagonist, D(4) receptor partial agonist, and high efficacy 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist F15063 was shown to be highly efficacious and potent in rodent models of activity against positive symptoms of schizophrenia. However F15063 induced neither catalepsy nor the 'serotonin syndrome'. Here, we evaluated its profile in rat models predictive of efficacy against negative symptoms/cognitive deficits of schizophrenia.Experimental approachF15063, given i.p., was assessed in models of behavioural deficits induced by interference with the NMDA/glutamatergic (phencyclidine: PCP) or cholinergic (scopolamine) systems.Key resultsThrough 5-HT(1A) activation, F15063 partially alleviated (MED: 0.04 mg kg(-1)) PCP-induced social interaction deficit between two adult rats, without effect by itself, underlining its potential to combat negative symptoms. At doses above 0.16 mg kg(-1), F15063 reduced interaction by itself. F15063 (0.16 mg kg(-1)) selectively re-established PCP-impaired 'cognitive flexibility' in a reversal learning task, suggesting potential against adaptability deficits. F15063 (0.04-0.63 mg kg(-1)) also reversed scopolamine-induced amnesia in a juvenile-adult rat social recognition test, indicative of a pro-cholinergic influence. Activity in this latter test is consistent with its D(4) partial agonism, as it was blocked by the D(4) antagonist L745,870. Finally, F15063 up to 40 mg kg(-1) did not disrupt basal prepulse inhibition of startle reflex in rats, a marker of sensorimotor gating.Conclusions and implicationsThe balance of D(2)/D(3), D(4) and 5-HT(1A) receptor interactions of F15063 yields a promising profile of activity in models of cognitive deficits and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Project description:Dopamine D(2) and D(4) receptors partially codistribute in the dorsal striatum and appear to play a fundamental role in complex behaviors and motor function. The discovery of D(2)R-D(4.)(x)R (D(4.2)R, D(4.4)R or D(4.7)R) heteromers has been made in cellular models using co-immunoprecipitation, in situ Proximity Ligation Assays and BRET(1) techniques with the D(2)R and D(4.7)R receptors being the least effective in forming heteromers. Allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in D(2)R-D(4.2)R and D(2)R-D(4.4) R heteromers were observed using the MAPK assays indicating the existence of an enhancing allosteric receptor-receptor interaction in the corresponding heteromers between the two orthosteric binding sites. The bioinformatic predictions suggest the existence of a basic set of common triplets (ALQ and LRA) in the two participating receptors that may contribute to the receptor-receptor interaction interfaces.

Project description:Umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells were lineage depleted using a StemSep column and cultured in serum-free liquid suspension culture with cytokines SCF, FL, and Tpo. After four days in culture (d4), cultured cells were split into 2 groups; one subjected to media exchange and one subjected to a mock exchange, and cultured for an additional day. RNA was extracted and analyzed on an oligonucleotide microarray from day 4 cultured cells (d4), day 4-derived sorted lin+ cells (lin+), day 4 cells which were placed in fresh media for 24-hours (d5-E) and day 4 cells which were subjected to a mock media dilution/exchange and left for 24-hours (d5-NE) Total cellular mRNA was collected by lysing cells in 500 μl Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen, Groningen, The Netherlands) for 5 min followed by addition of 100 μl chloroform. After centrifugation at 12,000 g for 15 min, the aqueous phase was collected and mixed with isopropanol to precipitate the mRNA. The mRNA pellet was then obtained by centrifugation at 12,000 g for 10 min, washed in 70% ethanol and re-suspended in sterile water. mRNA concentration was then determined using a mQuant plate reader (Biotek Instruments, Winooski, VT). Subsequent sample preparation and hybridization was conducted as described in the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Because of the limited numbers of cells that could be collected from each experiment, the Two-Cycle Target Labeling technique was used which first translates RNA into cDNA using a T7-oligo(dT) polymerase primer. The cDNA was then subjected to in vitro transcription during which biotin labeled nucleotides are incorporated into the resultant cRNA. The cRNA was then fragmented and hybridized to the Affymetrix HU133 chip set. All samples were obtained in triplicate and sent to the Ontario Genomics Innovation Centre (Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada) for analysis. Keywords: parallel sample

Project description:Approximately one third of patients with colorectal cancer are diagnosed as locally advanced stage with metastasis to N3 - N4 lymph nodes requiring a D3 - D4 lymphadenectomy. Our previous study has indicated that, by laparoscopic approach, the extended abdomino-iliac lymphadenectomy, the so-called D3-D4 lymph node dissection, could be performed with quick convalescence and similar oncologic efficacy for the treatment of advanced recto-sigmoid cancer with metastatic lesions over N3-N4 lymph nodes, as compared with traditional open surgery. In the present study, the investigators will further compare the oncologic and functional outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic approach in performing such challenging surgical procedures for patients with advanced colorectal cancer requiring a D3-D4 lymphadenectomy through a randomized prospective clinical trial.

Project description:Dopamine modulates movement, cognition, and emotion through activation of dopamine G protein-coupled receptors in the brain. The crystal structure of the human dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) in complex with the small molecule D2R/D3R-specific antagonist eticlopride reveals important features of the ligand binding pocket and extracellular loops. On the intracellular side of the receptor, a locked conformation of the ionic lock and two distinctly different conformations of intracellular loop 2 are observed. Docking of R-22, a D3R-selective antagonist, reveals an extracellular extension of the eticlopride binding site that comprises a second binding pocket for the aryl amide of R-22, which differs between the highly homologous D2R and D3R. This difference provides direction to the design of D3R-selective agents for treating drug abuse and other neuropsychiatric indications.

Project description:RationaleSecond-generation antipsychotics occupy dopamine D2 receptors and act as antagonists or partial agonists at these receptors. While these drugs alleviate positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, they are less effective for treating cognitive deficits and negative symptoms. Dopamine D3 receptors are highly expressed in areas of the brain thought to play a role in the regulation of motivation and reward-related behavior. Consequently, the dopamine D3 receptor has become a target for treating negative symptoms in combination with D2 antagonism to treat positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the cariprazine receptor occupancies in brain for D2 and D3 receptors in patients with schizophrenia.MethodsUsing [(11)C]-(+)-PHNO as a radioligand, positron emission tomography (PET) scans were performed in eight patients at baseline and postdose on days 1, 4, and 15. Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were analyzed for cariprazine concentrations.ResultsA monotonic dose-occupancy relationship was observed for both receptor types. After 2 weeks of treatment, near complete (?100 %) occupancies were observed for both receptors at a dose of 12 mg/day. At the lowest cariprazine dose (1 mg/day), mean D3 and D2 receptor occupancies were 76 and 45 %, respectively, suggesting selectivity for D3 over D2 receptors at low doses. An exposure-response analysis found a ?3-fold difference in EC50 (D3 = 3.84 nM and D2 = 13.03 nM) in plasma after 2 weeks of dosing.ConclusionThis PET imaging study in patients with schizophrenia demonstrated that cariprazine is a D3-preferring dual D3/D2 receptor partial agonist.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Combining 5-HT(1A) receptor activation with dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptor blockade should improve negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. We describe the in vitro profile of F15063 (N-[(2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-7-yloxy)ethyl]-3-(cyclopent-1-enyl)-benzylamine). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: F15063 was characterised in tests of binding affinity and in cellular models of signal transduction at monoamine receptors. KEY RESULTS: Affinities (receptor and pK(i) values) of F15063 were: rD(2) 9.38; hD(2L) 9.44; hD(2S) 9.25; hD(3) 8.95; hD(4) 8.81; h5-HT(1A) 8.37. F15063 had little affinity (40-fold lower than D(2)) at other targets. F15063 antagonised dopamine-activated G-protein activation at hD(2), rD(2) and hD(3) receptors with potency (pK (b) values 9.19, 8.29 and 8.74 in [(35)S]GTP gamma S binding experiments) similar to haloperidol. F15063 did not exhibit any hD(2) receptor agonism, even in tests of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and G-protein activation in cells with high receptor expression. In contrast, like (+/-)8-OH-DPAT, F15063 efficaciously activated h5-HT(1A) (E(max) 70%, pEC(50) 7.57) and r5-HT(1A) receptors (52%, 7.95) in tests of [(35)S]GTP gamma S binding, cAMP accumulation (90%, 7.12) and ERK1/2 phosphorylation (93%, 7.13). F15063 acted as a partial agonist for [(35)S]GTP gamma S binding at hD(4) (29%, 8.15) and h5-HT(1D) receptors (35%, 7.68). In [(35)S]GTP gamma S autoradiography, F15063 activated G-proteins in hippocampus, cortex and septum (regions enriched in 5-HT(1A) receptors), but antagonised quinelorane-induced activation of D(2)/D(3) receptors in striatum. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: F15063 antagonised dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptors, a property underlying its antipsychotic-like activity, whereas activation of 5-HT(1A) and D(4) receptors mediated its actions in models of negative symptoms and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia (see companion papers).

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: F15063 is a high affinity D(2)/D(3) antagonist, D(4) partial agonist, and high efficacy 5-HT(1A) agonist, with little affinity (40-fold lower than for D(2) receptors) at other central targets. Here, the profile of F15063 was evaluated in models of positive symptoms of schizophrenia and motor side-effects. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Rodent behavioural tests were based on reversal of hyperactivity induced by psychostimulants and on measures of induction of catalepsy and 'serotonin syndrome'. KEY RESULTS: F15063 potently (ED(50)s: 0.23 to 1.10 mg kg(-1) i.p.) reversed methylphenidate-induced stereotyped behaviors, blocked d-amphetamine and ketamine hyperlocomotion, attenuated apomorphine-induced prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits, and was active in the conditioned avoidance test. In mice, it reversed apomorphine-induced climbing (ED(50)=0.30 mg kg(-1) i.p.). F15063, owing to its 5-HT(1A) agonism, did not produce (ED(50)>40 mg kg(-1) i.p.) catalepsy in rats and mice, a behavior predictive of occurrence of extra-pyramidal syndrome (EPS) in man. This absence of cataleptogenic activity was maintained upon sub-chronic treatment of rats for 5 days at 40 mg kg(-1) p.o. Furthermore, F15063 did not induce the 'serotonin syndrome' in rats (flat body posture and forepaw treading: ED(50) >32 mg kg(-1) i.p.). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: F15063 conformed to the profile of an atypical antipsychotic, with potent actions in models of hyperdopaminergic activity but without inducing catalepsy. These data suggest that F15063 may display potent antipsychotic actions with low EPS liability. This profile is complemented by a favourable profile in rodent models of negative symptoms and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia (companion paper).
