Abstract

Abstract

To investigate the mechanism of post-synaptic scaffold protein Preso in the exacerbation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by blast-related traumatic brain injury (bTBI), thirty-six male C57 mice were randomly divided into the control group (Sham group), 3.5 MPa bTBI group, 4.5 MPa bTBI group, 5.5 MPa bTBI group, 4.5 MPa bTBI+saline group, 4.5 MPa bTBI+small molecule interfering peptide (TAT-FERM) group, and 6 mice in each group. And twelve Preso^-/- mice were randomly divided into Sham group and 4.5 MPa bTBI group, with 6 mice in each group. The mice were subjected to bTBI modelling and were routinely kept for 2 weeks after completion. 4.5 MPa bTBI+saline group and 4.5 MPa bTBI+TAT-FERM group were administered once a day through the tail vein for 5 consecutive days after bTBI modelling. Compared with the control group, the anxiety and depression behavior of 3.5 MPa bTBI mice was not significantly changed. Mice in the 4.5 MPa bTBI and 5.5 MPa bTBI groups showed significant PTSD symptoms and promoted the formation of the Preso/mGluR1 complex. The use of TAT-FERM blocked the interaction between Preso and mGluR1, inhibited the formation of Preso/mGluR1 complex without altering the expression of Preso/mGluR1 complex component proteins, and ameliorated PTSD symptoms caused by bTBI. Results display that the promotion of Preso/mGluR1 complex formation by bTBI is an important molecular pathological mechanism by which bTBI induces PTSD symptoms. The effect of bTBI on PTSD can be attenuated by blocking the interaction between Preso and mGluR1, providing a potential target for the treatment of bTBI-associated PTSD.
