Lipocalin-2 is involved in emotional behaviors and cognitive function
Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), an iron-related protein well described to participate in the innate immune response, has been shown to modulate spine morphology and to regulate neuronal excitability. In accordance, LCN2-null mice are reported to have stress-induced anxiety. Here we show that, under standard housing conditions, LCN2-null mice display anxious and depressive-like behaviors, as well as cogniti...
متن کاملHippocampal Lipocalin 2: an emotional link between neurons and glia
Lipocalins are a diverse family of secreted proteins that are involved in a variety of cellular processes. A member of the lipocalin protein family is lipocalin-2. Lipocalin-2 mRNA and protein expression in the adult brain, under physiological conditions, is thought to be rather low, especially in the hippocampus (Chia et al., 2011). Moreover, lipocalin-2 seems to be expressed, at least in the ...
متن کاملAlterations of Emotional and Cognitive Behaviors in Matrix Metallo- proteinase-2 and -9-Deficient Mice
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) function to remodel the pericellular environment, and thereby play a crucial role in the remodeling of neural circuits. In the present study, we investigated the role of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in emotional and cognitive function using mice with targeted deletions of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Emotional behaviors of MMP-9-(-/-) mice but not MMP-2-(-/-) mice were altered...
متن کاملProbiotic supplementation improves the cognitive function and the anxiety-like behaviors in the stressed rats
Objective(s): Prenatal stresses increase incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders and influence cognitive abilities. Glucocorticoids are released in stress condition as endpoint activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Evidence indicates a cross-talk between gut microbiota and brain function. This study assesses the effect of probiotic supplementation ...
متن کاملDifferential Effects of Dietary Oils on Emotional and Cognitive Behaviors
Several dietary oils have been used preventatively and therapeutically in the setting of neurological disease. However, the mechanisms underlying their influence on brain function and metabolism remain unknown. It was investigated whether 3 types of dietary oils affected emotional behaviors in mice. Wild-type (WT) mice and sialyltransferase ST3Gal IV-knockout (KO) mice, which exhibit increased ...
