| Abstract: | Peripheral biomarker and post-mortem brains studies have shown alterations of neuronal calcium sensor 1 (Ncs-1) expression in people with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. However, its engagement by psychiatric medications and potential contribution to behavioral regulation remains elusive. We investigated the effect on Ncs-1 expression of valproic acid (VPA), a mood stabilizer used for the management of bipolar disorder. Treatment with VPA induced Ncs-1 gene expression in cell line while chronic administration of this drug to mice increased both Ncs-1 protein and mRNA levels in the mouse frontal cortex. Inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs), a known biochemical effect of VPA, did not alter the expression of Ncs-1. In contrast, pharmacological inhibition or genetic downregulation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3β) increased Ncs-1 expression, whereas overexpression of a constitutively active Gsk3β had the opposite effect. Moreover, adeno-associated virus-mediated Ncs-1 overexpression in mouse frontal cortex caused responses similar to those elicited by VPA or lithium in tests evaluating social and mood-related behaviors. These findings indicate that VPA increases frontal cortex Ncs-1 gene expression as a result of Gsk3 inhibition. Furthermore, behavioral changes induced by Ncs-1 overexpression support a contribution of this mechanism in the regulation of behavior by VPA and potentially other psychoactive medications inhibiting Gsk3 activity. |
