| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously reported that altered expression of the LPA-related genes in rodents after treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, sertraline, which is widely used to treat depression. However, little is known about the behavioral effects of LPA. In the present study, we investigated the effects of LPA on emotional behaviors in adult mice. Intracerebroventricular injection of LPA induced behavioral changes in mice hole-board test, elevated plus maze test and forced swim test, through LPA receptors. Interestingly, administration of a LPA receptor antagonist BrP-LPA into the ventral hippocampus produced anxiolytic-like effect in mice. In vivo microdialysis experiments revealed that local perfusion of BrP-LPA in the ventral hippocampus induced increase in extracellular glutamate and GABA levels. In conclusion, LPA signaling plays important roles in emotional behaviors in mice.
