To further characterize this new MDD-like mouse model, here we examine some transcriptional elements of glutamatergic/GABAergic neurotransmission and neuroplasticity in forebrain regions in the GLT-1 knockdown mice. Furthermore, we assess the acute ketamine effects on these transcriptional processes.</p></div><div><h3>Material and methods</h3><p>We used a small interfering RNA (siRNA) pool targeting GLT-1 mRNA to disrupt the GLT-1 transcription in mouse IL. Histological assays were performed to examine postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD95), neuritin (NRN), glutamine acid descarboxilase-65 (GAD65), and GLT-1 mRNA expression in IL and hippocampus.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Knockdown of GLT-1 in mouse IL leads to decreased expression of PSD95 and NRN neuroplasticity mRNAs in IL and hippocampus, which was reversed by an acute dose of ketamine antidepressant.
