Abstract

The emission of ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) is thought to communicate the behavioral and emotional states elicited in rodents by social and non-social stimuli. On this basis, studies of psychopharmacology in rats are increasingly utilizing USVs as a behavioral marker to evaluate the effects of drugs on the emotional state. Conversely, very limited information is available as to whether psychoactive drugs influence USV emissions in mice. To provide new insights in this respect, we evaluated the emission of USVs in C57BL/6J mice subjected to repeated treatment with the dopaminergic psychostimulant of abuse amphetamine. Mice were first allowed to perform social contacts in dyads, and 2 days later they received amphetamine (1-4 mg/kg, i.p.) in a test cage (× 5 administrations) on alternate days. Seven days after treatment discontinuation, mice were re-exposed to the test cage to evaluate whether the presentation of drug-paired environmental cues elicited calling behavior, and thereafter received an amphetamine challenge. An additional group of animals received the dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine (1-4 mg/kg, i.p.), to further clarify the role of dopamine transmission in calling behavior of mice. C57BL/6J mice emitted USVs during social contacts, but did not significantly vocalize after amphetamine administration, in response to amphetamine-paired environmental cues, and after apomorphine administration. These results indicate that C57BL/6J mice may respond differently to social and pharmacological stimuli in terms of USV emissions, and may lay the foundation for future studies aimed at clarifying whether USVs may be a useful behavioral marker in studies of psychopharmacology in mice.

摘要

超声发声(USV)的发出被认为是在传达啮齿动物由社交和非社交刺激引发的行为和情绪状态。基于此,大鼠的精神药理学研究越来越多地将USV用作行为标记来评估药物对情绪状态的影响。相反,关于精神活性药物是否会影响小鼠的USV发出,目前可获得的信息非常有限。为了在这方面提供新的见解,我们评估了经滥用的多巴胺能精神兴奋剂苯丙胺反复处理的C57BL/6J小鼠的USV发出情况。首先让小鼠进行成对的社交接触,2天后,它们在测试笼中隔天接受苯丙胺(1 - 4毫克/千克,腹腔注射)(共5次给药)。停药7天后,将小鼠重新置于测试笼中,以评估呈现与药物配对的环境线索是否会引发叫声行为,然后给予苯丙胺激发试验。另一组动物接受多巴胺受体激动剂阿扑吗啡(1 - 4毫克/千克,腹腔注射),以进一步阐明多巴胺传递在小鼠叫声行为中的作用。C57BL/6J小鼠在社交接触期间发出USV,但在给予苯丙胺后、对与苯丙胺配对的环境线索做出反应时以及给予阿扑吗啡后,并没有显著发声。这些结果表明,C57BL/6J小鼠在USV发出方面可能对社交和药理刺激有不同反应,并且可能为未来旨在阐明USV是否可能成为小鼠精神药理学研究中有用的行为标记的研究奠定基础。
