摘要: 为探究多巴胺信号途径在遗忘中的作用及分子调控机制,利用秀丽隐杆线虫食物-丁酮正向联想性学习模型对多巴胺信号途径关键组分进行筛选,包括酪氨酸羟化酶(CAT-2)、多巴胺转运体(DAT-1)、多巴胺受体(DOP-1/2/3/4)、G蛋白以及下游cAMP和PLC途径。结果显示:cat-2突变或6-OHDA处理阻碍了多巴胺信号的正常传递,从而导致线虫的学习和记忆保留能力明显下降;dat-1突变导致多巴胺的重摄取功能受阻,表现为加速遗忘;dop-1突变株的记忆保留存在缺陷,而dop-2、dop-3和dop-4突变株与对照组无明显差异;在筛选作用于多巴胺受体下游的G蛋白GSA-1、GOA-1、EGL-30中,仅gsa-1突变加速了遗忘。此外,对多巴胺下游的cAMP和PLC途径关键成员进行筛选,发现cAMP途径中kin-2(PKA)的突变加速遗忘发生。结果表明,在秀丽隐杆线虫中,多巴胺可能通过DOP-1/GSA-1/PKA通路参与调控遗忘。这些实验结果将为多巴胺在遗忘方面的研究提供理论依据,并为比较多巴胺系统在物种进化上的相似性和差异性提供参考。

Abstract: To investigate the role and molecular regulation mechanism of dopamine signaling pathway in forgetting, the key components of this pathway were screened using theCaenorhabditis elegansfood-butanone positive associative learning model, including tyrosine hydroxylase (CAT-2), dopamine transporter (DAT-1), dopamine receptor (DOP-1/2/3/4), G protein, cAMP and PLC pathways. The results showed that mutations incat-2or treatment with 6-OHDA disrupted normal dopamine signal transmission, leading to a notable decline in the worm’s learning and memory retention abilities. Mutations indat-1impeded dopamine reuptake, resulting in accelerated forgetting.dop-1mutant animals exhibited memory retention deficits, whiledop-2,dop-3, anddop-4mutants showed no significant difference from the control group. Among the screened G proteins (GSA-1, GOA-1, EGL-30), onlygsa-1mutation accelerated forgetting. Additionally, key members of the cAMP and PLC pathways were examined, revealing that mutations inkin-2(PKA) within the cAMP pathway expedited forgetting. The findings suggested that dopamine played a role in the regulation of forgetting inC. elegans, potentially acting through the DOP-1/GSA-1/PKA pathway. This study provided a theoretical foundation for understanding the role of dopamine in forgetting and offers insights into the comparison of dopamine systems across species evolution.
