摘要 | Orexins (hypocretins) are peptides that have been shown to regulate behavioral arousal and wakefulness. Recent evidence indicates that orexin neurons are activated by stress and that orexins play a role in anxiety. The present paper describes a series of experiments that examined whether orexins are involved in the anxiety that resulted from exposing rats to an acute episode of footshocks (5 x 2 s of 1.5 mA shocks). We found that prepro-orexin (ppOX) mRNA was elevated in rats at 6 and 14 days after exposure to footshock and that ppOX mRNA levels were correlated with fear at 14 days post-shock. Systemic injections of the non-selective dual orexin receptor antagonist TCS-1102 (10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.) were found to decrease fear and anxiety in rats 14 days after exposure to footshock. We also found that rats that exhibited a high level of immobility to a novel tone the day after the footshock episode (high responders, HR) showed significantly elevated levels of ppOX mRNA at 14 days post-shock compared to control rats. Furthermore, TCS-1102 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) was found to have anxiolytic effects that were specific for HR when tested in the elevated T-maze. This study provides evidence linking the orexin system to the anxiety produced by exposure of rats to a single episode of footshocks. It also provides preclinical evidence in support of the use of orexin antagonists for the treatment of anxiety in response to an acute episode of stress. |
