Cím:	mGluR7 genetics and alcohol : intersection yields clues for addiction / Beatrix Gyetvai, Agnes Simonyi, Melinda Oros, Mariko Saito, John Smiley, Csaba Vadász

Megjegyzések:	Development of addiction to alcohol or other substances can be attributed in part to exposure-dependent modifications at synaptic efficacy leading to an organism which functions at an altered homeostatic setpoint. Genetic factors may also influence setpoints and the stability of the homeostatic system of an organism. Quantitative genetic analysis of voluntary alcohol drinking, and mapping of the involved genes in the quasi-congenic Recombinant QTL Introgression strain system, identified Eac2 as a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) on mouse chromosome 6 which explained 18% of the variance with an effect size of 2.09 g/kg/day alcohol consumption, and Grm7 as a quantitative trait gene underlying Eac2 [Vadasz et al. in Neurochem Res 32:1099-1112, 100, Genomics 90:690-702, 102]. In earlier studies, the product of Grm7 mGluR7, a G protein-coupled receptor, has been implicated in stress systems [Mitsukawa et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102:18712-18717, 63], anxiety-like behaviors [Cryan et al. in Eur J Neurosci 17:2409-2417, 14], memory [Holscher et al. in Learn Mem 12:450-455, 26], and psychiatric disorders (e.g., [Mick et al. in Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 147B:1412-1418, 61; Ohtsuki et al. in Schizophr Res 101:9-16, 72; Pergadia et al. in Paper presented at the 38th Annual Meeting of the Behavior Genetics Association, Louisville, Kentucky, USA, 76]. Here, in experiments with mice, we show that (1) Grm7 knockout mice express increased alcohol consumption, (2) sub-congenic, and congenic mice carrying a Grm7 variant characterized by higher Grm7 mRNA drink less alcohol, and show a tendency for higher circadian dark phase motor activity in a wheel running paradigm, respectively, and (3) there are significant genetic differences in Grm7 mRNA abundance in the mouse brain between congenic and background mice identifying brain areas whose function is implicated in addiction related processes. We hypothesize that metabotropic glutamate receptors may function as regulators of homeostasis, and Grm7 (mGluR7) is involved in multiple processes (including stress, circadian activity, reward control, memory, etc.) which interact with substance use and the development of addiction. In conclusion, we suggest that mGluR7 is a significant new therapeutic target in addiction and related neurobehavioral disorders.

Cím:	Mapping of QTLs for oral alcohol self-administration in B6.C and B6.I quasi-congenic RQI strains / Csaba Vadasz, Mariko Saito, Beatrix Gyetvai, Melinda Oros, Istvan Szakall, Krisztina M. Kovacs, Vidudala V. T. S. Prasad, Grant Morahan, Reka Toth

Megjegyzések:	One strategy to identify neurochemical pathways of addiction is to map the relevant genes. In the present study we used 43 B6.C and 35 B6.I inbred RQI mouse strains, carrying <3% donor genome on C57BL/6ByJ background, for gene mapping. The strains were phenotyped for consumption of alcohol (12% v/v) in a two-bottle-choice paradigm, and genotyped for 396 microsatellite markers. The current mapping study extends our earlier experiment scanning five mouse chromosomes (Vadasz et al. (2000) Scanning of five chromosomes for alcohol consumption loci. Alcohol 22:25-34) to a whole-genome study, and discusses the differences and limitations. Data were analyzed with composite interval (CIM) and multiple interval (MIM) QTL mapping methods. CIM of B6.C strains detected significant QTLs on chrs. 6 and 12. A suggestive, but not significant, locus was detected in the B6.I strains on chr. 12. The best MIM model for B6.C strains confirmed one QTL on chr. 6 and one QTL on chr. 12, while the MIM model for the B6.I strains confirmed the suggestive locus on chr. 12. Some of the QTLs for alcohol consumption are new, while others confirm previously reported QTLs for alcohol preference, and alcohol acceptance.
