Here, we establish the importance of PICK1 for behavioral effects observed after both acute and repeated administration of cocaine. In PICK1 knock-out (KO) mice, the acute locomotor response to a single injection of cocaine was markedly attenuated. Moreover, in support of a role for PICK1 in neuroadaptive changes induced by cocaine, we observed diminished cocaine intake in a self-administration paradigm. Reduced behavioral effects of cocaine were not associated with decreased striatal DAT distribution and most likely not caused by the ϳ30% reduction in synaptosomal DA uptake observed in PICK1 KO mice. The PICK1 KO mice demonstrated preserved behavioral responses to DA receptor agonists supporting intact downstream DA receptor signaling. Unexpectedly, we found a prominent increase in striatal DA content and levels of striatal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in PICK1 KO mice. Chronoamperometric recordings showed enhanced DA release in PICK1 KO mice, consistent with increased striatal DA pools. Viral-mediated knock-down (KD) of PICK1 in cultured dopaminergic neurons increased TH expression, supporting a direct cellular effect of PICK1. In summary, in addition to demonstrating a key role of PICK1 in mediating behavioral effects of cocaine, our data reveal a so far unappreciated role of PICK1 in DA homeostasis that possibly involves negative regulation of striatal TH levels. Significance Statement Cocaine addiction is a major societal problem and better treatments are needed. We demonstrate here the importance of the PSD-95/discs-large/ZO-1 (PDZ)-domain scaffold protein protein interacting with C-kinase 1 (PICK1) for both the acute reinforcing effects of cocaine and the long-term behavioral changes seen as a consequence of repeated cocaine exposure. Interestingly, our data suggest that these alterations are independent of PICK1 binding to the primary target of cocaine, the dopamine transporter (DAT). Moreover, our study reveals a novel role of PICK1 in maintenance of DA homeostasis that involves negative regulation of the levels of striatal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme in DA synthesis. Summarized, these data provide an important framework for further exploring the role of PICK1 in addiction and as putative target for treatment of psychostimulant abuse.

White,2 and XFrances E. Jensen2 1Department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics, and 2Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 Pathogenic mutations in cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) result in CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), a rare disease marked by early-life seizures, autistic behaviors, and intellectual disability. Although mouse models of CDD exhibit dendritic instability and alter- ations in synaptic scaffolding proteins, studies of glutamate receptor levels and function are limited. Here we used a novel mouse model of CDD, the Cdkl5R59X knock-in mouse (R59X), to investigate changes in synaptic glutamate receptor subunits and functional conse- quences. Male mice were used for all experiments to avoid the confounding effects of X-inactivation that would be present in female heterozygous mice. We showed that adult male R59X mice recapitulated the behavioral outcomes observed in other mouse models of CDD, including social deficits and memory and learning impairments, and exhibited decreased latency to seizure upon pentylenetetrazol administration. Furthermore, we observed a specific increase in GluA2-lacking ␣-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid)-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) in the adult R59X hippocampus, which is accompanied electrophysiologically by increased rectification ratio of AMPAR EPSCs and elevated early-phase long term potentiation (LTP). Finally, we showed that acute treatment with the GluA2-lacking AMPAR blocker IEM-1460 decreased AMPAR currents, and rescued social deficits, working memory impairments, and seizure behavior latency in R59X mice.

Consistently, full-length PICK1 shows diffuse cytoplasmic localization, but it clusters on vesicle-like structures that colocalize with the trans-Golgi network marker TGN38 upon deletion of either the ACT or PDZ domain. This localization is driven by the BAR domain. Live-cell imaging further reveals that PICK1-associated vesicles undergo fast, nondi- rectional motility in an F-actin–dependent manner, but deleting the ACT dramatically reduces vesicle speed. Thus the ACT links PICK1-associated vesicles to a motility factor, likely myosin, but, contrary to previous reports, PICK1 neither binds nor inhibits Arp2/3 complex.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

    DELETION OF GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR TRAFFICKING PROTEINS IN THE MEDIAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX AND THEIR SEX-SPECIFIC EFFECTS ON COCAINE ADDICTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Megan Marie Wickens May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Lisa Briand, Advisory Chair, Temple University Psychology Department Dr. Debra Bangasser, Temple University Psychology Department Dr. Vinay Parikh, Temple University Psychology Department Dr. Mathieu Wimmer, Temple University Psychology Department Dr. Vishnu Murty, Temple University Psychology Department Dr. Scott Rawls, Temple University Pharmacology Department ABSTRACT Dysregulation of glutamatergic signaling mechanisms is a component of many psychiatric diseases. A number of these diseases exhibit a bias toward one sex, yet the ways in which glutamate is affected by or modulates this bias is poorly understood. In cocaine addiction, women progress from initial use of the drug to substance use disorder faster than men, and have more difficulty remaining abstinent. The same is true in female rodents. We used a mouse model of cocaine self-administration to study the role of glutamate receptor trafficking proteins in cocaine addiction-like behavior in males and females. In the first set of experiments, mice received a conditional knockout of glutamate receptor interacting protein 1 (GRIP1) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). This led to an increase in motivation for cocaine as well as enhanced likelihood of relapse behavior, as measured by a progressive ratio schedule and cue-induced reinstatement, respectively. No sex differences were seen after prefrontal deletion of GRIP1. The next set of experiments used the same behavioral paradigm, but mice received a conditional knockout of protein interacting with C kinase 1 (PICK1) in the mPFC.

Ampa Receptor Dysregulation And Therapeutic Interventions In A Mouse Model Of Cdkl5 Deficiency Disorder Abstract CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD) is a rare disease that presents as a set of neurological deficits including early-life epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autistic-like behaviors. It results from pathogenic mutations in the gene for cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5), a protein that is highly expressed in brain. There is no cure for CDD and seizures in this disorder are typically resistant to traditional anti-epileptic drugs, although some patients respond well to cannabidiol. However, underlying mechanisms of what causes hyperexcitability and neurological deficits in CDD is poorly understood. We investigated the novel Cdkl5R59X mouse (R59X), and observed that mutant mice have social interaction and memory deficits, and decreased latency to seizure after administration of pentylenetetrazol. Given the observed behavioral alterations and hyperexcitability in R59X mice, we hypothesized that mutant mice would exhibit underlying molecular and functional alterations in proteins involved in regulating the E:I balance.

Received: 6 July 2014; in revised form: 4 August 2014 / Accepted: 12 August 2014 / Published: 20 August 2014 Abstract: Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate the vast majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system of vertebrates. In the protein family of iGluRs, kainate receptors (KARs) comprise the probably least well understood receptor class. Although KARs act as key players in the regulation of synaptic network activity, many properties and functions of these proteins remain elusive until now. Especially the precise pre-, extra-, and postsynaptic localization of KARs plays a critical role for neuronal function, as an unbalanced localization of KARs would ultimately lead to dysregulated neuronal excitability. Recently, important advances in the understanding of the regulation of surface expression, function, and agonist-dependent endocytosis of KARs have been achieved.

Abstract: Transcription factors Satb1 and Satb2 are involved in the processes of cortex development and maturation of neurons. Alterations in the expression of their target genes can lead to neurode- generative processes. Molecular and cellular mechanisms of regulation of neurotransmission by these transcription factors remain poorly understood. In this study, we have shown that transcription Citation: Turovsky, E.A.; Turovskaya, factors Satb1 and Satb2 participate in the regulation of genes encoding the NMDA-, AMPA-, and M.V.; Fedotova, E.I.; Babaev, A.A.; KA- receptor subunits and the inhibitory GABA(A) receptor.
