Using the resident-intruder paradigm, 28-day old C57BL/6NCrl mice were subjected daily for 3 weeks to social defeat. PPI and basic behaviour were analyzed 10 weeks later. Whereas stress increased the level of anxiety in all animals, persistent PPI deficits were found only in individually housed mice.

Hypothesizing that KCNN3 genotypes do not influence susceptibility to schizophrenia but modify its phenotype, we explored their contribution to specific schizophrenic symptoms. Using the Gottingen Research Association for Schizophrenia (GRAS) data collection of schizophrenic patients (n=1074), we performed a phenotype-based genetic association study (PGAS) of KCNN3. We show that long CAG repeats in the schizophrenic sample are specifically associated with better performance in higher cognitive tasks, comprising the capacity to discriminate, select and execute (p<0.0001). Long repeats reduce SK3 channel function, as we demonstrate by patch-clamping of transfected HEK293 cells. In contrast, modelling the opposite in mice, i.e. KCNN3 overexpression/channel hyperfunction, leads to selective deficits in higher brain functions comparable to those influenced by SK3 conductance in humans. To conclude, KCNN3 genotypes modify cognitive performance, shown here in a large sample of schizophrenic patients. Reduction of SK3 function may constitute a pharmacological target to improve cognition in schizophrenia and other conditions with cognitive impairment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/emmm.201100135"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142723"],["dc.identifier.isi","000292277600003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21433290"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8179"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/159"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1757-4676"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","A CAG repeat polymorphism of KCNN3 predicts SK3 channel function and cognitive performance in schizophrenia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It was therefore of interest to explore whether upregulation of endogenous EPO in brain by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) stabilization would increase hippocampal memory similar to exogenous EPO. HIFs are transcription factors involved in the cellular response to low oxygen, including upregulation of transcripts like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and EPO. Under normal oxygen, prolylhydroxylases decrease HIF-alpha stability. This is banned by prolylhydroxylase inhibitors, which prevent oxygen dependent degradation and thus prolong HIF-alpha half life. In an experimental set-up identical to the one yielding strong cognitive effects with EPO, healthy male 28-day-old mice received FG-4497, a HIF prolylhydroxylase inhibitor, or placebo intraperitoneally every other day for 3 weeks. Behavioral testing and hematocrit determinations were conducted in independent cohorts at 1, 3, or 4 weeks after treatment completion. Increased EPO and VEGF mRNA expression in hippocampus or primary hippocampal neurons 6h after the application of FG-4497 confirmed its ability to stabilize HIF and upregulate HIF dependent transcription in brain. At 3 and 4 weeks after the last injection, respectively, FG-4497 treated mice compared to placebo mice had improved hippocampal memory in fear conditioning without change in hematocrit. In contrast, no improvement in memory was detected at 1 week, when the hematocrit was increased, indicating that cognitive improvement and hematocrit are not directly related. FG-4497 application for 3 weeks leads to delayed but lasting enhancement of hippocampal memory, making HIF stabilization an attractive target for pharmacological manipulation of cognition."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.bbr.2009.11.010"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150485"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19900484"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7255"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.subject","Fear conditioning test; Erythropoietin; EPO; VEGF; FG-4497"],["dc.title","Hypoxia inducible factor stabilization leads to lasting improvement of hippocampal memory in healthy mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The mechanisms by which oligodendroglial dysfunction(s) contribute to slowly progressive neurodegeneration are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate in Cnp1 mutant mice that secondary axonal degeneration in the subcortical white matter is associated with an age-dependent activation of both, innate and adaptive immune responses, including an expansion of infiltrating CD8+ T cells. While the detrimental role of lymphocytes in inherited myelin diseases is known, the role of activated microglia for the hypothetical cycle of inflammation/degeneration is unclear. We used a mild standardized cryolesion of the right parietal cortex to activate microglia at the vulnerable age of mouse puberty (postnatal day (P) 28). When applied to Cnp1 mutant mice, analyzed more than 3 months later, minor brain injury had acted as a “second hit” and significantly enhanced astrogliosis, microgliosis and axon degeneration, but not T cell infiltration. Interestingly, exacerbated neuropathological changes were also reflected by specific deterioration of working memory on top of an essentially normal basic behavior. We propose a model in which oligodendroglial dysfunctions can trigger a vicious cycle of neurodegeneration and low-grade inflammation that is amplified by nonspecific activators of the innate immune system. This interaction of genetic and environmental factors may be relevant for neuropsychiatric diseases associated with secondary neuroinflammation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/glia.22480"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150535"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7307"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.title","Neuroinflammation in white matter tracts of Cnp1 mutant mice amplified by a minor brain injury"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We developed a mouse model of robust cognitive improvement by EPO to obtain the first clues of how EPO influences cognition, and how it may act on hippocampal neurons to modulate plasticity. Results: We show here that a 3-week treatment of young mice with EPO enhances long-term potentiation (LTP), a cellular correlate of learning processes in the CAI region of the hippocampus. This treatment concomitantly alters short-term synaptic plasticity and synaptic transmission, shifting the balance of excitatory and inhibitory activity. These effects are accompanied by an improvement of hippocampus dependent memory, persisting for 3 weeks after termination of EPO injections, and are independent of changes in hematocrit. Networks of EPO-treated primary hippocampal neurons develop lower overall spiking activity but enhanced bursting in discrete neuronal assemblies. At the level of developing single neurons, EPO treatment reduces the typical increase in excitatory synaptic transmission without changing the number of synaptic boutons, consistent with prolonged functional silencing of synapses. Conclusion: We conclude that EPO improves hippocampus dependent memory by modulating plasticity, synaptic connectivity and activity of memory-related neuronal networks. These mechanisms of action of EPO have to be further exploited for treating neuropsychiatric diseases."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1741-7007-6-37"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143237"],["dc.identifier.isi","000260109300001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18782446"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8430"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/729"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1741-7007"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Erythropoietin enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation and memory"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
