Abstract

G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heterodimers are new targets for the treatment of schizophrenia. Dopamine D2receptors and serotonin 5-HT1Aand 5-HT2Areceptors play an important role in neurotransmission and have been implicated in many human psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether antipsychotic drugs (clozapine (CLZ) and haloperidol (HAL)) affected the formation of heterodimers of D2-5-HT1Areceptors as well as 5-HT1A-5-HT2Areceptors. Proximity ligation assay (PLA) was used to accurately visualize, for the first time, GPCR heterodimers both atin vitroandex vivolevels. In line with our previous behavioral studies, we used ketamine to induce cognitive deficits in mice. Our study confirmed the co-localization of D2/5-HT1Aand 5-HT1A/5-HT2Areceptors in the mouse cortex. Low-dose CLZ (0.3 mg/kg) administered repeatedly, but not CLZ at 1 mg/kg, increased the level of D2-5-HT1Aand 5-HT1A-5-HT2Aheterodimers in the mouse prefrontal and frontal cortex. On the other hand, HAL decreased the level of GPCR heterodimers. Ketamine affected the formation of 5-HT1A-5-HT2A, but not D2-5-HT1A, heterodimers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 January 2020.
All research outputs
#15,906,098
of 25,622,179 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#1,682
of 3,363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#262,705
of 472,030 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#62
of 124 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,622,179 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,363 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 472,030 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 124 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
