Аннотация

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, however, their mechanisms are still poorly understood. Serotonin (5-HT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are known as key players in the regulation of brain plasticity and behavior. Among the variety of 5-HT receptors, the most interesting is the 5-HT1A receptor, which is the main regulator of the brain 5-HT system functioning. In this work, we investigated the effect of 5-HT1A receptor overexpression in the frontal cortex induced by the administration of the adeno-associated virus pAAV-Syn-HTR1A-eGFP to BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J (BTBR) mice, a model of autism, on autism-like behavior and on the expression of the Htr1a gene transcription factor – Freud-1 (encoded by the Cc2d1a gene), its intracellular signal transducer ERK1/2 (encoded by the Mapk3 gene), 5-HT₇ receptors, mature BDNF, proBDNF and TrkB and p75NTR receptors. Overexpression of the 5-HT1A receptor had no effect on time in the center and locomotor activity in the open field test, social behavior in the three-chamber test, immobility time in the tail suspension test, and associative learning in the “operant wall” paradigm, but it enhanced the severity of stereotyped behavior in the marble burying test. 5-HT1A receptor overexpression in the frontal cortex did not affect the mRNA and protein levels of 5-HT₇ receptors, mature BDNF, proBDNF and TrkB and p75NTR receptors in the cortex and hippocampus of BTBR mice. However, overexpression caused an increase in the protein level of the transcription factor Freud-1 in the hippocampus without changing the mRNA level of Cc2d1a in the frontal cortex and hippocampus. No changes in the pERK/ERK ratio were found in both investigated brain structures. Thus, the results of this study indicate a possible disruption in interactions of: 5-HT1A receptors with downstream intracellular signal transducers; 5-HT system, BDNF and TrkB receptors; and 5-HT1A and 5-HT₇ receptors in the frontal cortex of BTBR mice.
