Abstract
Fatty acid-binding protein 7 (FABP7) aids in the intracellular transport of endogenous cannabinoids and is involved in regulating the stress response system. This study examined the role of FABP7 in chronic stress exposure through the binding of CB1 receptors. Adult male FABP7+/+ and FABP7-/- mice were treated with the unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) procedure. After 28 days of treatment, mice were euthanized, and CB1 was measured with in vitro autoradiography using [3H] SR141716A. FABP7-/- mice, irrespective of stress treatment, showed reduced [3H] SR141716A binding in the amygdala, secondary somatosensory cortex, and ventral caudate putamen compared with the FABP7+/+ mice. Additionally, FABP7-/- mice treated with UCMS exhibited a reduction in CB1 binding in the globus pallidus and ventral caudate putamen compared with UCMS-treated FABP7+/+ mice. Genetic deletion of FABP7 can decrease CB1 expression in various brain regions; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
期刊介绍:
Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.
