چکیده

suppression of akt (protein kinase b) has been implicated in schizophrenia, the effect which has been documented to be reversed by tyrosine phosphatase inhibition. t hus, present study has been designed to study the effect of sodium orthovanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, on protracted methionine administration induced schizophrenia like behavior in rats.   schizophrenia like behavior was assessed in number of circuits of cage (locomotor activity), number of climbs of sides (climbing), number of rears, face washing, scratching and chewing (stereotypy).   m ethionine administration (1.7 g / kg/ d, p.o.) for a period of 30 days elicited schizophrenia like behavior in rats as assessed in terms of locomotor activity, climbing and stereotypy. however, sodium orthovanadate (15, 30 & 60 mg / kg, i.p.) coadministered from day 15 to day 30 markedly reduced this methionine induced increase in locomotor activity (from 40 ± 5.45 to 22 ± 2.82), climbing (from 57 ± 4.05 to 22 ± 2.12) as well as stereotypy (from 159 ± 6.9 to 59 ± 3.9).therefore, sodium orthovanadate treatment caused reversal of protracted methionine administration induced schizophrenia like behavior in rats reflected that inhibition of tyrosine phosphatase might be a useful approach in the therapeutics of schizophrenia.

Quetiapine treatment reverses depressive-like behavior and reduces DNA methyltransferase activity induced by maternal deprivation.

Stress in early life has been appointed as an important phenomenon in the onset of depression and poor response to treatment with classical antidepressants. Furthermore, childhood trauma triggers epigenetic changes, which are associated with the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Treatment with atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine, exerts therapeutic effect for MDD patien...

Neonatal stress-induced affective changes in adolescent Wistar rats: early signs of schizophrenia-like behavior

Psychiatric disorders are multifactorial diseases with etiology that may involve genetic factors, early life environment and stressful life events. The neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia is based on a wealth of data on increased vulnerability in individuals exposed to insults during the perinatal period. Maternal deprivation (MD) disinhibits the adrenocortical response to stress in ...

Chronic Administration of Baicalein Decreases Depression-Like Behavior Induced by Repeated Restraint Stress in Rats

Baicalein (BA), a plant-derived active flavonoid present in the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, has been widely used for the treatment of stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders including depression. Previous studies have demonstrated that repeated restraint stress disrupts the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, resulting in depression. The behavioral and neurochemica...

Acute agmatine administration, similar to ketamine, reverses depressive-like behavior induced by chronic unpredictable stress in mice

Agmatine is an endogenous neuromodulator that has been shown to have antidepressant-like properties. We have previously demonstrated that it can induce a rapid increase in BDNF levels after acute administration, suggesting that agmatine may be a fast-acting antidepressant. To investigate this hypothesis, the present study evaluated the effects of a single administration of agmatine in mice subj...

Sodium orthovanadate inhibits p53-mediated apoptosis.

Sodium orthovanadate (vanadate) inhibits the DNA-binding activity of p53, but its precise effects on p53 function have not been examined. Here, we show that vanadate exerts a potent antiapoptotic activity through both transcription-dependent and transcription-independent mechanisms relative to other p53 inhibitors, including pifithrin (PFT) alpha. We compared the effects of vanadate to PFTalpha...
