Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether the effects of venlafaxine on major depression disorder is associated with ankyrin G.Methods Breed Synapsin-Cre1 and Ankyrin3-floxed mice(Ank3 cKO mice).Ank3 cKO mice and wild type mice were randomly divided into model and control groups.All mice in model group and control group were orally administrated with venlafaxine(1 g/L)or the solvent(normal saline,NS)with the volume of 200 μL,respectively.Depression-related behaviors were examined by sucrose preference test(SPT)and Y maze test.The level of ankyrin G and PSD95 in the cortex of four groups were detected by Western blot.The level of ankyrin G and MAP2 in the in hippocampus of four groups were detected by immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with wt-saline group,the cKO mice in saline showed a significantly decreased preference of sucrose(P＜0.001)and low spontaneous alteration(P＜0.05).Compared with cKO control ones,the venlafaxine model cKO mice showed remarkably increased preference of sucrose(P＜0.001)and more spontaneous alteration(P＜0.05).The level of ankyrin G and PSD-95 in the cortex of venlafaxine cKO mice was much higher than that in control mice(P＜0.01)The level of ankyrin G and MAP2 in the hippocampus of venlafaxine cKO mice were much higher than those of control mice(P＜0.05).Conclusions Venlafaxine alleviates the depression symptoms caused by knocking down Ank3.The mechanism of depression treatment by venlafaxine is potentially associated with levita-ting ankyrin G level in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
