Beschreibung:
beta-catenin is a multi-functional protein that has an important role in the mature central nervous system; its dysfunction has been implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression. Here we show that in mice beta-catenin mediates pro-resilient and anxiolytic effects in the nucleus accumbens, a key brain reward region, an effect mediated by D2-type medium spiny neurons. Using genome-wide beta-catenin enrichment mapping, we identify Dicer1-important in small RNA (for example, microRNA) biogenesis--as a beta-catenin target gene that mediates resilience. Small RNA profiling after excising beta-catenin from nucleus accumbens in the context of chronic stress reveals beta-catenin-dependent microRNA regulation associated with resilience. Together, these findings establish beta-catenin as a critical regulator in the development of behavioural resilience, activating a network that includes Dicer1 and downstream microRNAs. We thus present a foundation for the development of novel therapeutic targets to promote stress resilience.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4257892/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4257892/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dias, Caroline -- Feng, Jian -- Sun, Haosheng -- Shao, Ning Yi -- Mazei-Robison, Michelle S -- Damez-Werno, Diane -- Scobie, Kimberly -- Bagot, Rosemary -- LaBonte, Benoit -- Ribeiro, Efrain -- Liu, XiaoChuan -- Kennedy, Pamela -- Vialou, Vincent -- Ferguson, Deveroux -- Pena, Catherine -- Calipari, Erin S -- Koo, Ja Wook -- Mouzon, Ezekiell -- Ghose, Subroto -- Tamminga, Carol -- Neve, Rachael -- Shen, Li -- Nestler, Eric J -- P50 MH096890/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R00 MH094405/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Dec 4;516(7529):51-5. doi: 10.1038/nature13976.
