摘要
The main circadian clock, localized in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in mammals, can be synchronized by light and non-photic factors such as serotonergic cues. In nocturnal rodents, injections during the subjective day of the 5-HT1A/7 receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) or its positive enantiomer, induce behavioral phase-advances in correlation with decreased expression of two clock genes, Per1/2. In addition, 8-OH-DPAT and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine reduce light-induced phase-shifts during the subjective night. Beside the chronobiotic effects of serotonin, changes of serotonergic activity in humans have been involved in mood disorders, that are often associated with alterations in circadian rhythmicity. To get insights into the cireadian role of serotonin in diurnal species, we investigated its modulation of the SCN in Arvicanthis ansorgei housed in constant darkness. In striking contrast to nocturnal rodents, daily serotonin content in Arvicanthis SCN peaked during daytime while the sensitivity window of its SCN to (+)8-OH-DPAT occurred essentially during the subjective night. Moreover, fluoxetine produced behavioral phase-advances at circadian time (CT) 0 and CT 12. Expression of Per1/2, Rev-erb alpha/beta and Ror alpha/ 0 in the SCN was not modified after fluoxetine or (+)8-OH-DPAT injection. Furthermore, both treatments enhanced light-induced phase-advances and delays. Light responses of Per1 and Ror beta expression at CTO and those of Per2 and Rev-erb alpha at CT 12 were markedly altered by serotonergic activation. The present findings demonstrate that the serotonergic modulation of the SCN clock appears to differ between nocturnal species and the diurnal Arvicanthis. The potentiating effects of fluoxetine on light resetting in a diurnal rodent may be clinically relevant. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
