Abstract
Epidermal/brain fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) plays an integral role in the intracellular trafficking of bioactive lipids/endocannabinoids and the subsequent initiation of cellular cascades affecting cannabinoid and dopamine (DA) systems. Social isolation (SI) and environmental enrichment (EE) during adolescence have been shown to impact DA signaling, and, specifically, DA transporter (DAT) and receptor levels of DA type 1 (D1) and 2 (D2); however, the relationship between FABP5, environment and DA signaling remains unclear. The present study quantified DAT and DA receptor levels in male/female FABP5−/− and FABP5+/+ mice raised in either SI or EE. Results showed that FABP5−/− mice had 6.09–8.81% greater D1 levels in striatal sub-regions of the caudal brain, independent of sex or environment. D1 levels were 8.03% greater only in the olfactory tubercle of enrichment-reared animals. In summary, these results supported that FABP5 plays an important function in regulating striatal DA signaling, and this may have important implications as a target with therapeutic potential for various psychiatric disorders.
