In order to estimate to generate the minimum infection rate needed for depressive type, this research increases by one group of Bilateral injections 1:10 is diluted The mouse of AAV- β CaMKII viruses.Different from general injection group (infection rate is 38 ± 3%), this dilution injection group (sense Dye rate is 5 ± 0.6%) depressed phenotype (Fig. 2 F, 2G) is not shown.Therefore, depression severity and outside habenular nucleus β CaMKII infection rates are relevant.By contrast with β CaMKII, the overexpression of α CaMKII or GFP-Cre as a contrast, Under similar infection rate (β CaMKII36 ± 2.5%, GFP-CRE36 ± 3%), without result in similar depressed effect (Fig. 2 D-E).
Embodiment 7
CaMKII molecules are used as kinases and structure stand albumen simultaneously in cynapse, and research kinase activity is to β CaMKII work( Can importance, carrier construction AAV- β CaMKII-K43R-2A-EGFP, in rat by watchband β K43R in habenular nucleus.β CaMKII's One without kinase activity mutant, β K43R (being contained in a simple point mutation on lys43arg) though be overexpressed to β CaMKII Wild type similar level when (4.6 ± 0.5 times, infection rate be 40 ± 3%, Figure 10), do not cause depression phenotype (Fig. 2 D, 2E), this shows that the kinase function of β CaMKII is necessary for generating depression.In addition, the β CaMKII in Lateral Habenular Nucleus Overexpression equally dramatically increase forced swimming test in immobility (P=0.02) and reduction flight behavior, be embodied in acquistion Property helpless experiment in terminate the number of electric shock by pressing lever and reduce (Fig. 2 H, 2I).These results indicate that pressing down in multiple animal In strongly fragrant model (including rat and mouse), the expression of β CaMKII (rather than α CaMKII) rises in outside habenular nucleus (LHb), It is enough to lead to very strong depressive symptom.
Embodiment 8
Change the activity of LHb neurons and the cell mechanism of function to inquire into β CaMKII and be overexpressed, we are to wild type The LHb neurons of virus infection and adjacent uninfection carry out pairs of Whole-cell recording (figure in rat brain slice 3A).First, for the LHb neuronal synapse characteristics of detection, we measure miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) ( The picrotoxin of tetraodotoxin for preventing action potential and the synaptic currents for blocking GABAA mediations (picrotoxin) in the presence of), this electric current is the alpha-amido -3- hydroxy-5-methyl base -4- isoxazole propionic acid by glutamate receptor (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)) hypotype is mediated and body The single synaptic response being recorded on neuron is showed.
In the brain section being uninfected by, adjacent outside Habenular Neurons to showing the frequency of the similar mEPSC of height, Although subregions different LHb exists heterogeneous (Figure 13).In the neuron infected by AAV- β CaMKII, mEPSC frequencies are big It is big to increase (being 351 ± 51%, P=0.0004 of adjacent control group), mEPSC amplitudes it is same (be the 130 ± 10% of control group, P=0.003, Fig. 3 B, 3C).By contrast, AAV- α CaMKII infection can cause the faint decline of mEPSC frequencies (to be control group 81 ± 9%, P=0.047), mEPSC amplitudes are then without variation (being 87 ± 5%, P=0.12 of control group, Fig. 3 B, 3D).
Embodiment 9
In order to detect the output of these LHb neurons, we use the spontaneous of the method neuron of cell attachment formula record Granting rate.The neuron granting rate of AAV- β CaMKII infection is 3 times of (P=0.0005, figures of the neuron of periphery uninfection 3E, 3F), and this variation (P=0.1, Fig. 3 E, 3G) is not detected then in the neuron of AAV- α CaMKII infection.These knots Fruit shows increase significantly the cynapse efficiency of up-regulation LHb neurons and spike potential output of β CaMKII expressions, this is very big The neuron variation observed in the animal of depression is simulated in degree.
Embodiment 10
In order to determine that β CaMKII expressions are lowered in LHb or whether the function blocking of β CaMKII can reverse depressed table Type, we use RNA interference (RNAi) to reduce β CaMKII protein levels (Fig. 4 A) first.Previously have been reported that display specifically for β The short hairpin RNA of CaMKII transcriptions can effectively reduce β CaMKII protein levels, without influence α CaMKII (35, Fig. 4 B). Then this RNAi form of our the expression β CaMKII in AAV viral (AAV- β RNAi), and infected by Bilateral injections CLH rat LHs b carries out targeted expression (Fig. 4 C).It is shown in the forced swimming test dead time by the cLH rats of AAV- β RNAi infection It writes and reduces (P=0.0005), escape behavior (P=0.02, Fig. 4 D, 4E) is significantly increased in Xi Ze-zong test.Xi Ze-zong Animal percentage (being defined as be below 5 times by bar) drop to 25% (Fig. 4) from 83.3%.
Embodiment 11
In order to exclude potential RNAi undershooting-effects, we further test one of β CaMKII without kinase activity type, β K43R, it can block the function (33, Fig. 2A) of endogenous β CaMKII as a dominant invalid factor when being overexpressed.When After AAV- β K43R viruses are injected into cLH rat LHs b, forced swimming test and Xi Ze-zong test in all detect with Antidepressant effect (Fig. 4 D-4F) similar AAV- β RNAi.It is interesting that down to the AAV- β RNAi of 17 ± 3% infection rates or 30 ± The AAV- β K43R of 3% infection rate are enough to realize these strong antidepressant effects, prompt LHb neural network redundancies small, and change The activity of relatively small ratio LHb neurons is just enough to improve depression.
Embodiment 12
The further subregion of analysis infection LHb, the insides discovery LHb infection rate, rather than exterior portion, with improving depression Effect is closely related, this result prompts may be more important (Fig. 4 G) to the improvement of Xi Zezong behavior on the inside of LHb.It is big in cLH In mouse LHb brain pieces, significantly reduce (control group of adjacent uninfection by the neuron mEPSC frequencies of AAV- β RNAi infection 53.5 ± 15.3%, P=0.008, Fig. 4 H).In short, β CaMKII or blocking its effect these results indicate that knocking out, can obviously subtract The symptom of light depression.
Embodiment 13
It has detected the level of the GluR1 in cLH rat LHs b, finds to be adjusted to (the 222 of control group on horizontal on GluR1 films ± 41.7%, P=0.006, Fig. 5 A), be significantly higher than total GluR1 the increased multiple of level (147 ± 19%, P of control group= 0.02, Figure 14).On the contrary, the expression in the cLH rat membrane components GluR1 of antidepressants imipramine processing declines (control 72 ± 8%, the P=0.003, Fig. 5 B of group).
Embodiment 14
In order to detect effects of the GluR1 in the adjusting of β CaMKII depression, we use AAV- β CaMKII-2A- GluR1Ct viral vectors has been overexpressed a dominant factor of β CaMKII and GluR1, GluR1Ct, to hinder simultaneously The cynapse of GluR1 is transported.Expression testing result based on Unilateral injection show β CaMKII show 3.8 times and GluR1Ct is the overexpression (Fig. 5 C) of 3.7 times of Endogenous levels.When this viral bilateral is injected into wild-type mice LHb (infection rate is 37 ± 2%), two groups of mouse are all acted normally (Fig. 5 D, 5E) in forced swimming and the test of sucrose preference.Cause This, the coexpression of GluR1Ct prevents β CaMKII to be overexpressed caused depressed effect.These results indicate that AMPAR GluR1 The adjusting that cynapse is transmitted is the important downstream targets that β CaMKII show depressive symptom
