Effects of Chronic Isolation Stress model on behaviors, protein, metabolites and genes.
| Specific effects of PTSD model on protein, metabolite and/or gene manipulation | Functional effects of PTSD model on protein, metabolite and/or gene or pharmacological manipulation | Region of interest | Behavioral phenotype | PTSD-like effects | Authors and year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CIS increases in ROS accompanied by a decreases in antioxidant GSH | Excess ROS and decreased antioxidant produces molecular and mitochondrial and destruction | Cortex | Increased immobility time in the FST and activated locomotion and rearings in the OFT | Increased depression and anxiety-like behaviors | Haj-Mirzaiana et al., 2016 |
| CIS increased lipid peroxidation products MDA and protein carbonyl groups and reduced antioxidant levels of SOD; Also increased NF-kB protein levels and COX-2 protein levels | Lipid peroxidation effects are a measure of oxidative damage. Reduction in antioxidants leaves cells vulnerable to ROS. Increased NF-kB COX-2 proteins play a role in inflammatory responses | Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus | Increased immobility in the FST with reduced climbing and swimming behaviors; Reduced sucrose preference and increased marble burying behavior | Increased depression and anhedonia-like behaviors with increased compulsive behaviors | Zlatkovic et al. (2014) |
| CIS decreased the oxidative activity of catalase and antioxidants GSH and SOD. CIS Increased ROS and reduced levels of glutamate, glutamine, NAA, and phosphocreatine | Reduced oxidative metabolism and increased ROS damage resulting in metabolism deficits demonstrated by reduced metabolism markers | PFC, Hippocampus, caudatecutamen, cerebellum, thalamus | In the EPM, CIS rats spent more time the closed arms. In social interaction test, CIS rats spent more time with empty cages rather than other rats. In the Y-maze, CIS rats showed lower exploration time | Reduced social interaction and increased anxiety. Reduced motivation to explore | Shao et al. (2015) |
| CIS reduced mitochondrial enzyme activities. Translocation of Ras from mitochondria to endoplasmic reticulum | During apoptosis translocation of Ras to the mitochondrial occurs which may be involved in switch from oxidative metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis | Hippocampus | In OFT, CIS rats showed less center time | Anxiety-like behaviors | Zhuravliova et al. (2009) |
| In stress-sensitive rats, CIS induced downregulation of ETC Complex II and Vdac 1 mitochondrial permeability transition pore | CIS reduces ETC enzyme and Vdac1 a key protein involved in regulating the pore opening involved in release of cytochrome c and pro-caspases | Hippocampus | Sucrose preference is reduced and CIS resilient and sensitive rats are defined by SPT functioning. In FST, CIS increased immobility in susceptible rats | Anhedonia-like and depression-like behaviors in susceptible individuals | Peric et al. (2022) |
| CIS produced reductions in mitochondrial enzymatic activity; CIS increases the ratelimiting enzyme of glycolysis via mitochondrial hexokinase | CIS inhibits mitochondrial oxidative metabolism resulting in a compensatory elevation of anaerobic glycolysis | Hippocampus | Hypoactivity in the OFT | Locomotor slowing | Shuravliova et al., 2009 |
