AB  - Aims GABAergic modulation involved in cognitive processing appears to be substantially changed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a widely used 5xFAD model of AD, we aimed to assess if negative and positive allosteric modulators of α5 GABAA receptors (NAM and PAM, respectively) would affect social interaction, social, object and spatial memory, and neuroinflammation. Methods After 10-day treatment with PAM, NAM, or solvent, 6-month-old transgenic and non-transgenic 5xFAD mice underwent testing in a behavioral battery. Gene expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, GFAP, and IBA-1 were determined in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex by qPCR. Results PAM treatment impaired spatial learning in transgenic females compared to solvent-treated transgenic females, and social recognition in transgenic and non-transgenic males. NAM treatment declined social interaction in transgenic and non-transgenic males, while had beneficial effect on cognitive flexibility in non-transgenic males compared to solvent-treated non-transgenic males. Transgenic animals have not fully displayed cognitive symptoms, but neuroinflammation was confirmed. NAM reduced proinflammatory gene expressions in transgenic females and astrogliosis in transgenic males compared to pathological controls. Conclusion PAM and NAM failed to exert favorable behavioral effects in transgenic animals. Suppression of neuroinflammation obtained with NAM calls for more studies with GABAergic ligands in amyloid beta- and/or tau-dependent models with prominent neuroinflammation.

AB  - Different subtypes of GABAA (gamma-aminobutyric acid A) receptors, through their specific regional and cellular localization, are involved in the manifestation of various functions, both at the central and peripheral levels. We hypothesized that various non-neuronal GABAA receptors are expressed on blood vessels, through which positive allosteric modulators of GABAA receptors exhibit vasodilatory effects. This study involved two parts: one to determine the presence of α1-6 subunit GABAA receptor mRNAs in the rat thoracic aorta, and the other to determine the vasoactivity of the various selective and non-selective positive GABAA receptor modulators: zolpidem (α1-selective), XHe–III–074 (α4-selective), MP–III–022 (α5-selective), DK-I-56-1 (α6-selective), SH-I-048A and diazepam (non-selective). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis data demonstrated for the first time the expression of α1, α2, α3, α4 and α5 subunits in the rat thoracic aorta tissue. Tissue bath assays on isolated rat aortic rings revealed significant vasodilatory effects of diazepam, SH-I-048A, XHe–III–074, MP–III–022 and DK-I-56-1, all in terms of achieved relaxations (over 50% of relative tension decrease), as well as in terms of preventive effects on phenylephrine (PE) contraction. Diazepam was the most efficient ligand in the present study, while zolpidem showed the weakest vascular effects. In addition, diazepam-induced relaxations in the presence of antagonists PK11195 or bicuculline were significantly reduced (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) at lower concentrations of diazepam (10−7 M and 3 × 10−7 M). The present work suggests that the observed vasoactivity is due to modulation of “vascular” GABAA receptors, which after further detailed research may provide a therapeutic target. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Background: Positive and negative allosteric modulators of α5 GABAA receptors (PAM and NAM, respectively) are worthy of investigation as putative treatments of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, their potential to modify a dynamic range of behaviors in AD models needs to be systematically examined. Objective: The study aimed to assess effects of MP-III-022 as PAM and PWZ-029 as NAM on emotional reactivity, motivation, and motor function, as well as on gene expression of GABRA2, GABRA3 and GABRA5 subunit of GABAA receptors in prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HC) in 5xFAD mice, as an early-onset transgenic AD model. Methods: The 6-month-old 5xFAD transgenic and non-transgenic mice of both genders underwent a battery of reflexes and behavioral tests (sensorimotor tests, elevated plus maze, and open field) after 10-day intraperitoneal treatment with MP-III-022, PWZ-029, or solvent. The behavioral battery was followed by qPCR analysis of gene expression. Results: MP-III-022 induced a decline in motor function, while PWZ-029 further decreased emotionality of transgenic males, as compared to the transgenic control. No interfering effects on non-cognitive behavior were observed in female mice. In HC, both treatments reversed reciprocal GABRA2 and GABRA3 changes in transgenic females. In PFC, MP-III-022 decreased GABRA5 in both genders, while PWZ-029 increased GABRA2 in male transgenic animals. Conclusion: Gender-dependent protracted effects of PAMs and NAMs in AD model, with detrimental impact on motor capabilities of PAM, and attenuation of emotionality elicited by NAM in transgenic males, were revealed. This favors future research of α5 GABAA receptor modulation in females as more promising.
