Abstract:
:Acoustic startle response (ASR) and open-field activity was examined in the 46th generation of mice that have been selectively bred for high analgesia (HA) and for low analgesia (LA) induced by 3-min swimming in 20 degrees C water. These lines were earlier found to differ in brain opioid receptor density and in the expression of opioid-mediated phenomena, as analgesic sensitivity to opiates and reversibility of swim stress-induced analgesia (SSIA) by naloxone. For comparison, a randomly bred control (C) line was used. To measure the amplitude of ASR, the mice were exposed to 110-dB acoustic stimuli in a Coulbourn apparatus. In saline-injected mice, the ASR force was found significantly lower in the LA than in the HA, as well in the C line, but did not differ between the two last lines. Naltrexone hydrochloride (10 mg/kg IP 30 min before ASR testing) augmented the startle in the opioid receptor-dense HA line, but had no effect in the opioid receptor-deficient LA line, as well in the C line; therefore, the ASR magnitude in naltrexone-injected HA mice was significantly higher compared to the C line. HA mice displayed less activity in an open-field test; that is, they remained immobile longer in the center of the field, and thereafter performed less ambulation and less rearing against the wall compared to the LA line. Naltrexone failed to modify the open-field activity in any line. The results confirm that the pattern of ASR depends on the genetic makeup of the animals. The higher amplitude of ASR, taken together with the lower open-field activity of HA mice, can be interpreted in terms of higher anxiety level, compared to the LA line. It is suggested that the higher ASR in HA mice relies on a nonopioid mechanism, which is tonically inhibited by the opioid system.
