| Research Abstract |
The Bcl-2 family members have essential roles in apoptosis. It is reported that Bcl-2 family contribute to stress-induced depression-like behavior. In this study, we investigated the expression of BH3-only protein mRNA in the brain of the animal model for depression. The expression of Noxa in the hippocampus was significantly increased. In non-stressed condition, Noxa KO mice showed longer time of social interaction compared to wild-type mice. With social defeat stress, wild-type mice showed a reduced social interaction time, whereas Noxa KO mice did not show such reduction of social interaction time. These results suggested that Noxa might relate to the stress vulnerability.
