題名: | Increased behavioral and neuronal responses to a hallucinogenic drug after adolescent toluene exposure in mice: effects of antipsychotic treatment | 作者: | 詹銘煥 Chan, Ming-Huan Mei-YiLee Bih-FenLin Hwei-HsienChen |

It remains unclear whether psychotic symptoms after long-term and intense toluene exposure are associated with abnormalities in 5-HT2A receptor function. The present study examined whether the responses to a hallucinogenic 5-HT2A receptor agonist 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) were altered in a mouse model of toluene psychosis. Male NMRI mice were subchronically treated with toluene during adolescence. Reciprocal social interaction test and novel object recognition test were conducted to confirm the persistent behavioral deficits in adulthood. Subsequently, DOI-induced head twitch, c-Fos and Egr-2 expression, field potentials in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and the levels of 5-HT2A, 5-HT1A and mGlu2 receptors in the mPFC were monitored. Toluene exposure during adolescence produced social and memory impairments and enhanced DOI–induced behavioral, molecular and electrophysiological responses, but did not change the levels of 5-HT2A, 5-HT1A or mGlu2 receptors in the mPFC. Moreover, the effects of haloperidol and risperidone on the behavioral deficits and hyper-responsiveness to DOI after adolescent toluene exposure were compared. When administered after adolescent toluene exposure, risperidone could reverse social withdrawal, cognitive impairment and hypersensitivity to DOI, whereas haloperidol was only beneficial for social withdrawal. These findings suggest that increased functionality of 5-HT2A receptors may play a critical role in solvent-induced psychosis and recommend the antipsychotics with more selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonism as the first-line treatment for solvent-induced psychosis. | 關聯: | Toxicology, No.445, pp.152602 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tox.2020.152602 |
