Detection of behavioral alterations and learning deficits in mice lacking synaptophysin.

Abstract:

:The integral membrane protein synaptophysin is one of the most abundant polypeptide components of synaptic vesicles. It is not essential for neurotransmission despite its abundance but is believed to modulate the efficiency of the synaptic vesicle cycle. Detailed behavioral analyses were therefore performed on synaptophysin knockout mice to test whether synaptophysin affects higher brain functions. We find that these animals are more exploratory than their wild type counterparts examining novel objects more closely and intensely in an enriched open field arena. We also detect impairments in learning and memory, most notably reduced object novelty recognition and reduced spatial learning. These deficits are unlikely caused by impaired vision, since all electroretinographic parameters measured were indistinguishable from those in wild type controls although an inverse optomotor reaction was observed. Taken together, our observations demonstrate functional consequences of synaptophysin depletion in a living organism.
