目的观察N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体拮抗剂地革西平马来酸盐(MK-801)对小鼠感觉运动门控功能的影响,确定建立精神分裂症的感觉运动门控障碍小鼠模型的适宜剂量。方法采用不同剂量(0.125mg/kg、0.25mg/kg、0.50mg/kg)的MK-801建立感觉运动门控障碍的小鼠模型,用SR-LAB惊反射测试系统测定小鼠前脉冲抑制(PPI)、惊反射幅度和习惯化等行为学指标以比较不同剂量的药理作用。结果①前脉冲刺激的强度高于背景12dB时,MK-8010.125mg/kg、0.25mg/kg、0.50mg/kg各剂量组PPI的数值分别为(28.7%±4.8%)、(27.6%±5.6%)、(9.2%±4.0%),与对照组(53.6%±4.5%)的差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.01),呈剂量依赖性破坏了小鼠的PPI。②MK-801剂量为0.5mg/kg时,惊反射的幅度明显大于对照组(P〈0.001),增加的幅度为53%。③MK-8010.5mg/kg剂量组的习惯化为(-2.6%±10%),与正常对照组(43.7%±7.6%)相比,引起了习惯化明显损害(P〈0.001)。结论MK-801能够引起小鼠PPI的缺失,且能增加小鼠对惊反射刺激的反应性。0.50mg/kg的MK-801可作为建立精神分裂症的感觉运动门控障碍的小鼠模型的适宜剂量。
Objective To investigate the effects of MK-801, a selective non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, on sensorimotor gating of mice and determine the appropriate dose for the deficient sensorimotor gating of schizophrenia model in mice. Methods Different doses of MK-801 (0. 125, 0. 25, 0. 50 mg/kg) were used to establish the schizophrenia model of deficient sensorimotor gating in mice. Prepulse inhibition (PPI), startle ampli- tude and habituation in mice were measured using six SR-LAB startle chambers to determine the pharmacological actions of different doses of MK-801. Results ①At the 12dB prepulse level, the PPI in MK-801 at 0. 125, 0. 25 or 0. 50 mg/kg were (28.7% ±4. 8% ), (27.5% ±5.6% ) or (9. 2% ±4.0% ), respectively. Compared with the control group (53% ±4. 5% ), MK-801 significantly disrupted PPI in a dose-dependent manner (P 〈0. 01 ). ②MK-801 at the dose of 0. 50 mg/kg significantly increased the startle amplitude by 53% than the control group (P 〈 0. 001 ). ③ The habituation of MK- 801 at 0. 50 mg/kg was ( -2.6% ± 10% ). Compared with the control group, MK-801 (0. 50 mg/kg) impaired habitua- tion of the acoustic startle response (P 〈 0. 001 ). Conchmions MK-801 induces disruption of sensorimotor gating in mice and increases the startle response. MK-801 at 0. 50 mg/kg can be used as the appropriate dose for the deficient sensorimotor gating of schizophrenia model in mice.
