    Mice Mutated in the Third Fibronectin Domain of L1 Show Enhanced Hippocampal Neuronal Cell Death, Astrogliosis and Alterations in Behavior by Ludovica Congiu, Viviana Granato, Igor Jakovcevski, Ralf Kleene, Luciana Fernandes, Sandra Freitag, Matthias Kneussel, Melitta Schachner, Gabriele Loers

    Published 2023-04-01
    “…Adhesion molecules play major roles in cell proliferation, migration, survival, neurite outgrowth and synapse formation during nervous system development and in adulthood. The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 contributes to these functions during development and in synapse formation and synaptic plasticity after trauma in adulthood. …”

    CHL1 depletion affects dopamine receptor D2-dependent modulation of mouse behavior by Luciana Fernandes, Ralf Kleene, Ludovica Congiu, Sandra Freitag, Matthias Kneussel, Gabriele Loers, Melitta Schachner

    Published 2023-11-01
    “…IntroductionThe dopaminergic system plays a key role in the appropriate functioning of the central nervous system, where it is essential for emotional balance, arousal, reward, and motor control. The cell adhesion molecule close homolog of L1 (CHL1) contributes to dopaminergic system development, and CHL1 and the dopamine receptor D2 (D2R) are associated with mental disorders like schizophrenia, addiction, autism spectrum disorder and depression.MethodsHere, we investigated how the interplay between CHL1 and D2R affects the behavior of young adult male and female wild-type (CHL+/+) and CHL1-deficient (CHL1−/−) mice, when D2R agonist quinpirole and antagonist sulpiride are applied.ResultsLow doses of quinpirole (0.02 mg/kg body weight) induced hypolocomotion of CHL1+/+ and CHL1−/− males and females, but led to a delayed response in CHL1−/− mice. …”
