Title in Portuguese
Estudo do papel de receptores CB1, 5-HT1A e canais iônicos TRPV1 da divisão dorsomedial do hipotálamo ventromedial nas respostas defensivas inatas evocadas por Cavia porcellus ameaçadas por serpentes
Keywords in Portuguese
Ansiedade
Canabidiol
Cobaias (Cavia porcellus)
Comportamento de defesa
Hipotálamo Ventromedial
Abstract in Portuguese
Há evidências de que os endocanabinoides e os receptores CB1 estejam envolvidos em diversos transtornos emocionais, dentre eles a ansiedade e a depressão. A interação deste sistema endocanabinoide com outros neurotransmissores, como a serotonina (5-HT), tem sido alvo de diversos estudos, uma vez que o aumento na atividade deste sistema promove respostas ansiolíticas e antidepressivas. Alguns estudos mostraram que a porção ventromedial do hipotálamo modula algumas respostas defensivas, como fuga e a imobilidade tônica, respostas estas eliciadas pelos animais frente a situações de medo intenso, como ocorre em um confronto com um dado predador. Dentro desta perspectiva, o presente estudo teve por objetivos avaliar o efeito do tratamento crônico durante 21 dias com canabidiol (CBD) sobre as respostas defensivas em cobaias (Cavia porcellus), evocadas diante de um predador natural. Avaliamos, ainda, o efeito da microinjeção intradiencefálica de AM251 (antagonista de receptores CB1; 100pmol/0,2µl), de 6-I-CPS (antagonista de canais iônicos TRPV1; 9nmol/0,2µl), de WAY-100635 (antagonista 5-HT1A; 0,37nmol/0,2µl) e seus respectivos veículos em diferentes grupos de cobaias, após o tratamento crônico com canabidiol sobre as respostas defensivas evocadas diante do predador. Os resultados mostraram que, muito embora o tratamento crônico com CBD não tenha atenuado a resposta de imobilidade tônica (IT), devido ao fenômeno de habituação da resposta, diminuiu a expressão de outras respostas comportamentais, como a atenção defensiva e afuga orientada para a toca, promovendo, pois, um efeito anxiolítico e panicolítico. Ademais, a microinjeção de AM251 tendeu a abolir o efeito ansiolítico causado pelo tratamento crônico com CBD, potencializando as respostas defensivas diante de um predador natural. Tais resultados indicam que o CBD promove seu efeito farmacológico também mediante tratamento crônico, e que os receptores canabinoides do tipo CB1 do hipotálamo ventromedial parecem desmpenhar algum um papel nesse mecanismo de ação.

Abstract in English
Evidence has shown that endocannabinoids and CB1 receptors are involved in several emotional disorders, including anxiety and depression. The endocannabinoid system and its interaction with other neurotransmitters such as serotonin (5-HT) has been the subject of several studies, since the increase in the activity of this system promotes anxiolytic and antidepressant responses. Some studies have shown that the ventromedial division of the hypothalamus modulates some defensive responses such as flight and tonic immobility, elicited by preys experiencing intense fear-like reactions when facing dangerous situations, as confrontation with a given predator. From this perspective, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of chronic treatment for 21 days with cannabidiol (CBD) on the defensive responses displayed by guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), in the presence of a natural predator. We also studied the effect of intradiencephalic microinjection of AM251 (a CB1 receptor antagonist; 100pmol / 0.2?L), 6-PSC-I (TRPV1 ion channel antagonist; 9nmol / 0.2?L), or WAY- 100635 (antagonist 5- HT1A; 0.37nmol / 0.2?L) and their respective controls in different groups of mice after chronic treatment with cannabidiol on the defensive responses evoked in the presence of the predator. The results showed that although the chronic treatment with CBD attenuated tonic immobility response (IT) and other behavioural responses, such as defensive attention and oriented escape behaviour, promoting a significant anxiolytic and panicolytic effect. In addition, intra-hypothalamic microinjection of AM251 exert a potential impairment of the antipanic effect caused by chronic treatment with CBD, increasing the defensive responses displayed in the presence of the predator. These results indicate that the CBD also promotes its pharmacological effect upon chronic treatment, and that medial hypothalamus CB1 receptors seem to play a role in its mechanism of action.
