摘要
En 中文
C1q/TNF-related protein (CTRP) family comprises fifteen highly conserved secretory proteins with diverse central and peripheral functions. In zebrafish, mouse, and human, CTRP4 is most highly expressed in the brain. We previously showed that CTRP4 is a metabolically responsive regulator of food intake and energy balance, and mice lacking CTRP4 exhibit sexually dimorphic changes in ingestive behaviors and systemic metabolism. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing also revealed Ctrp4/C1qtnf4 expression in diverse neuronal cell types across distinct anatomical brain regions, hinting at additional roles in the central nervous system not previously characterized. To uncover additional central functions of CTRP4, we subjected Ctrp4 knockout (KO) mice to a battery of behavioral tests. Relative to wild-type (WT) littermates, loss of CTRP4 does not alter exploratory, anxiety-, or depressive-like behaviors, motor function and balance, sensorimotor gating, novel object recognition, and spatial memory. While pain-sensing mechanisms in response to thermal stress and mild shock are intact, both male and female Ctrp4 KO mice have increased sensitivity to pain induced by higher-level shock, suggesting altered nociceptive function. Importantly, CTRP4 deficiency impairs hippocampal-dependent associative learning and memory as assessed by trace fear conditioning paradigm. This deficit is sex-dependent, affects only female mice, and is associated with altered expression of learning and memory genes (Arc, c-fos, and Pde4d) in the hippocampus and cortex. Altogether, our behavioral and gene expression analyses have uncovered novel aspects of the CTRP4 function and provided a physiological context to further investigate its mechanism of action in the central and peripheral nervous system.
