It is necessary to establish a rapid, stable and specific anxiety model to provide a theoretical basis for further research on the pathogenesis of anxiety and drug development. A single intraperitoneal injection of m-chlorophenylpipera-zine (mCPP) (1, 2, 4 mg/kg) was given to male ICR mice to establish an anxiety model, and the effects of mCPP on anxiety behavior, pain, athletic ability, passive avoidance response ability and depressive behavior of male ICR mice were evaluated. A single intraperitoneal injection of mCPP shortened the time in open arms and decreased the percentage of time in open arms of mice in the elevated plus-maze test. mCPP also shortened center zone distance and reduced the number of entries to the central zone in the open field test. Moreover, mCPP reduced head-dip counts and increased the head-dip latency of mice in the hole-board test. After being administrated with a single intraperitoneal injection of mCPP for 24h, the mice showed no significant difference in the entry into the light side and the percentage of time in the light side of the light-dark box test. A single intraperitoneal injection of mCPP had no effects on tail flick latency, rotating time, number of errors and the step-down latency, the immobility time of mice in the tail-flick test, rotarod test, step-down test and TST respectively. In conclusion, we established a rapid and stable anxiety mouse model by single intraperitoneal injection of mCPP.展开更多

Glu R2-3Y,an interfering peptide, prevents the endocytosis of AMPARs containing the Glu R2 subunit. In this study, we explored the effect of intravenous injection of Glu R2-3Y on the acquisition, expression, and reinstatement of morphine-induced conditioned place preference（m CPP） in rats. We found that infusion of Glu R2-3Y（1.5 nmol/g） one hour before morphine during the conditioning phase inhibited the acquisition of m CPP, while an identical injection one hour before the post-conditioning test had no influence on the expression of m CPP. Injection of Glu R2-3Y（1.5 nmol/g） after m CPP extinction blocked the morphine-induced reinstatement of m CPP. Our results strongly support the hypothesis that inhibition of AMPAR endocytosis provides a new target for the treatment of opiate addiction.展开更多
