Abstract
Neuronal glycogen synthase kinase-3s (GSK-3α and the more abundant GSK-3β) are serine/threonine kinases that have been postulated to play roles in neuronal adaptations, including those that come from exposures to substances of abuse; however, there is only modest information about ways in which GSK-3 alters the effects of the widely abused psychostimulant, methamphetamine (METH). To evaluate the effects of GSK-3 inhibition on METH-induced symptoms, mice were treated with LY2090314, a potent and selective GSK-3 inhibitor, followed by METH. Horizontal locomotion, vertical rearing, and stereotyped behaviors were measured. Pretreatment with LY2090314 (2.5, 10, and 25 mg/kg) significantly inhibited stereotypic behavior induced by METH (10 mg/kg) in a dose-dependent fashion. Stereotyped biting was most robustly reduced by LY2090314. By contrast, LY2090314 had no significant effect on METH (3 mg/kg)-induced hyperlocomotion. GSK-3 signaling pathways appear to be differentially involved in acute METH effects on locomotion. GSK-3 appears essential for the expression of METH-induced stereotypy but not hyperlocomotion.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Pharmacology accepts original full and short research reports in diverse areas ranging from ethopharmacology to the pharmacology of schedule-controlled operant behaviour, provided that their primary focus is behavioural. Suitable topics include drug, chemical and hormonal effects on behaviour, the neurochemical mechanisms under-lying behaviour, and behavioural methods for the study of drug action. Both animal and human studies are welcome; however, studies reporting neurochemical data should have a predominantly behavioural focus, and human studies should not consist exclusively of clinical trials or case reports. Preference is given to studies that demonstrate and develop the potential of behavioural methods, and to papers reporting findings of direct relevance to clinical problems. Papers making a significant theoretical contribution are particularly welcome and, where possible and merited, space is made available for authors to explore fully the theoretical implications of their findings. Reviews of an area of the literature or at an appropriate stage in the development of an author’s own work are welcome. Commentaries in areas of current interest are also considered for publication, as are Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside behavioural pharmacology, but of importance and interest to behavioural pharmacologists. Behavioural Pharmacology publishes frequent Special Issues on current hot topics. The editors welcome correspondence about whether a paper in preparation might be suitable for inclusion in a Special Issue.
