Munc18-1 protein is involved in membrane fusion processes, exocytosis and neurotransmitter release. A transgenic mouse strain that overexpresses the protein isoform munc18-1a in the brain was characterized. This animal displays several schizophrenia-related behaviors, supersensitivity to hallucinogenic drugs and deficits in prepulse inhibition that reverse after antipsychotic treatment. Relevant brain areas (that is, cortex and striatum) exhibit reduced expression of dopamine D(1) receptors and dopamine transporters together with enhanced amphetamine-induced in vivo dopamine release. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates decreased gray matter volume in the transgenic animal. In conclusion, the mouse overexpressing brain munc18-1a represents a new valid animal model that resembles functional and structural abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia. The animal could provide valuable insights into phenotypic aspects of this psychiatric disorder. | Descripción: | This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License.-- et al. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/tp.2012.149 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/88929 | DOI: | 10.1038/tp.2012.149 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1038/tp.2012.149 e-issn: 2158-3188 |
