Abstract
The neuronal membrane glycoprotein M6B (Gpm6b) gene encodes a membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the proteolipid protein family, and is enriched in neurons, oligodendrocytes, and subset of astrocytes in the central nervous system. GPM6B is thought to play a role in neuronal differentiation, myelination, and inactivation of the serotonin transporter via internalization. Recent human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated membrane glycoproteins (both GPM6B and GPM6A) in the regulation of traits relevant to psychiatric disorders, including neuroticism, depressed affect, and delay discounting. Mouse studies have implicated Gpm6b in sensorimotor gating and regulation of serotonergic signaling. We used CRISPR to create a mutant Glycoprotein M6B (Gpm6b) allele on a C57BL/6J mouse background. Because Gpm6b is located on the X chromosome, we focused on male Gpm6b mutant mice and their wild-type littermates (WT) in two behavioral tests that measured aspects of impulsive or flexible decision-making. We found that Gpm6b deletion caused deficits in a delay discounting task. In contrast, reward sensitivity was enhanced thereby facilitating behavioral flexibility and improving performance in the probabilistic reversal learning task. Taken together these data further delineate the role of Gpm6b in decision making behaviors that are relevant to multiple psychiatric disorders.
期刊介绍:
Genes, Brain and Behavior was launched in 2002 with the aim of publishing top quality research in behavioral and neural genetics in their broadest sense. The emphasis is on the analysis of the behavioral and neural phenotypes under consideration, the unifying theme being the genetic approach as a tool to increase our understanding of these phenotypes.
Genes Brain and Behavior is pleased to offer the following features:
8 issues per year
online submissions with first editorial decisions within 3-4 weeks and fast publication at Wiley-Blackwells
High visibility through its coverage by PubMed/Medline, Current Contents and other major abstracting and indexing services
Inclusion in the Wiley-Blackwell consortial license, extending readership to thousands of international libraries and institutions
A large and varied editorial board comprising of international specialists.
