Therefore, stimulation of TrkB-mediated neurogenesis would be a possible therapeutic target. In the present study, we examined effect of overexpression of TrkB gene in the brain on hippocampal neurogenesis and any behavior change invivo after systemic gene transduction with an aim to clarify possible treatment strategy. For such purpose blood-brain barrier permeable adeno-associated virus serotype PHP.eB (AAV-PHP.eB) was used to transduce TrkB gene in the brain. Flag-tagged mouse TrkB gene was first inserted to pAAV-CMV vector, followed by co-transfection with AAV-PHP. eB vector to construct the final AAV construct (AAV-PHP.eB-mTrkB-flag). Transfection with the transgene plasmid in neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a increased expression of TrkB gene product, the phosphorylation of which was increased in the presence of a TrkB agonist 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, confirming activation of exogenously transfected TrkB. Intravenous administration of AAV-PHP.eB-mTrkB-flag not only increased expression of TrkB, but also tended to increase area of new-born neuron marker Dcx-positive cells in hippocampus compared to control AAV-treated mice, implying possible promotion of neurogenesis. Thus, AAV-mediated TrkB gene transduction would be the possible treatment of neurodegenerative disorders by performing further analyses of its pharmacological actions.","PeriodicalId":20464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86811393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the presents study, we examined the cognitive function of mice with injection of METH to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) to clarify the mechanism of cognitive impairment induced by METH. [Method] C57BL/6J mice (8-week-old, male) received administration of METH viaimplanted cannula in the NAc for seven consecutive days. Behavioral experiments were performed to evaluate cognitive functions. To examine long-term potentiation (LTP), excitatory postsynaptic potential on Schaffer collateral in response to theta burst stimulation on CA1 was recorded on the acute hippocampal slices. Behavioral and electrophysiological experiments were performed one day after the last injection. Slices after stimulation were applied to Western blotto analyze phosphorylation of AMPA receptor (Ser831, Ser845). [Results] Mice with METH in the NAc showed cognitive impairment in the novel object recognition test. LTP and phosphorylation of AMPA receptors were reduced in mice treated with METH. [Conclusion] Local METH administration in the NAc is suggested to suppress hippocampal synaptic transmission to cause cognitive dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":20464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87051265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are pathological and genetical overlap between ALS and FTD regarding their causative genes and the presence of ubiquitin- and TDP-43-positive inclusion bodies. However, the pathogenesis of ALS and FTD remains insufficiently characterized. CHCHD10 (C10), a familial ALS/FTD-causative gene, is expressed in mitochondria and is thought to be involved in the regulation of mitochondrial functions, although the mechanism underlying the C10 mutation-mediated onset of ALS/FTLD remains unknown. In this study, we generated C10-expressing adenoviruses to unravel the mechanism underlying cell death caused by C10 mutations. The results showed that overexpression of wild-type C10 or a C10 mutant induced cell death in parallel with increase in the transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression, the indicator of mitochondrial unfolded protein response. Importantly, the overexpression of the C10 mutant caused higher-level cell death and expression of CHOP than wild-type C10. These results suggest that the familial ALS/FTLD-linked mutation of C10 enhances motor neuron toxicity possibly by exaggerated mitochondrial stress.","PeriodicalId":20464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87108536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics are often involved in hepatotoxicity. Therefore, it is necessary to establish invitroand invivomodels for predicting drug metabolism and related cases of hepatotoxicity. We focused on chimeric mice with humanized liver, consisting predominantly of human hepatocytes. Various human genes, encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters, are expressed in the liver. These chimeric mice were found to be useful for qualitative and quantitative prediction of human metabolite formation, pharmacokinetics, and drug-drug interactions. They are also useful for predicting hepatotoxicities, such as cholestasis and steatosis. Moreover, fresh hepatocytes isolated from the chimeric mice are useful for in vitro screening. It is possible to compare invitroand invivoprofiles of the same chimeric mice. One possible drawback could be the contribution of residual mouse hepatocytes and extrahepatic tissues, which may detract from predictability. Recently, novel improved models which overcome these problems have been developed, and increased prediction accuracy is expected.","PeriodicalId":20464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88198556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
