Multidisziplinäre Untersuchung dopaminerger Mechanismen der repetitiven Störungen anhand von zwei Rattenmodellen dopaminerger Dysregulation

Reinel, Claudia 11 December 2015 (has links)
Repetitive Störungen manifestieren sich als Leitsymptom in der Zwangsstörung und dem Tourette-Syndrom. Die Symptome werden als enthemmte Stereotypien eines desinhibierten Basalganglien-thalamo-kortikalen (BGTC) Regelkreises verstanden. Überdies wird als neurochemisches Korrelat ein dysregulatives Dopamin (DA)-System innerhalb dieser Kerngebiete nahegelegt, welches über ein überaktives Dopamintransporter (DAT)-System erklärt werden könnte. In der Induktion repetitiver Erkrankungen ist die Interaktion des BGTC Regelkreises und des DA-Systems dennoch unklar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden daher anhand von zwei Pathologiemodellen (Ratte) mit unterschiedlich induzierter Dysregulation des DA-Systems (transgen versus pharmakologisch) die dysfunktionalen Einheiten im BGTC Regelkreises vergleichend untersucht. Im transgenen Modell führte die zentralnervöse DAT-Überexpression: (1) zu einer verstärkten Genexpression des vesikulären Monoamintransporter 2 (VMAT2) sowie des DA-Rezeptors 1 und DA–Rezeptors 2 (DRD1, DRD2), (2) zu einem reduzierten DA-Spiegel mit erhöhter DA-Umsatzrate und veränderten serotonergen- und GABAergen-System, und (3) zu perserverativen Verhalten. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigte die chronische Applikation mit dem D2-Agonisten Quinpirol im pharmakologischen Modell: (1) eine Reduktion des DAT, VMAT2 und DRD2, (2) eine reduzierte DA-Umsatzrate und (3) zwanghaftes Kontrollverhalten. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die unterschiedlichen klinischen Subtypen der Zwangsstörung unterschiedlichen neurobiologischen Veränderungen zugrunde liegen könnten. Ferner bietet das hier vorgestellte transgene Modell erfolgsversprechende Ansatzpunkte um als neues valides Tiermodell der repetitiven Störungen etabliert zu werden. / Repetitive disorders manifest as the cardinal symptom in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. The symptoms are understood as disinhibited stereotypies of a basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical (BGTC) circuit. Furthermore, it is suggested that a dysregulated dopamine (DA) system within this circuit is the underlying neurochemical correlate which could be explained by an overactive dopamine transporter (DAT). At this point, it is still unclear how the BGTC circuit and the DA system interact in the induction of repetitive disorders. Therefore we investigated the dysfunctional unities within the BGTC circuit by comparing two pathological rat models (transgenic versus pharmacologic) with different induced dopaminergic dysregulation. The DAT overexpressing rat model showed: (1) increased gene expression of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), DA receptor D1 (DRD1) and DA receptor D2 (DRD2), (2) lower levels of DA with an increased DA metabolism and alterations in the serotonin- and GABA system, and (3) perseverative behavior. In contrast, the chronic application of the D2 receptor agonist quinpirole resulted in the pharmacologic model in: (1) lower gene expressions of the DAT, VMAT2 and DRD2, (2) reduced DA-turnover and (3) compulsive control behavior. These results suggest that different clinical subtypes of obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by different neurobiological alterations. In addition, the presented transgenic model provides the opportunity to be established as a new valid animal model of repetitive disorders.

Evidence-based guidelines for pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders

Baldwin, David S., Anderson, Ian M., Nutt, David J., Bandelow, Borwin, Bond, Alyson, Davidson, Jonathan R. T., den Boer, Johan A., Fineberg, Naomi A., Knapp, Martin, Scott, Jan, Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich 30 January 2013 (has links) (PDF)
These British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines cover the range and aims of treatment for anxiety disorders. They are based explicitly on the available evidence and are presented as recommendations to aid clinical decision making in primary and secondary medical care. They may also serve as a source of information for patients and their carers. The recommendations are presented together with a more detailed review of the available evidence. A consensus meeting involving experts in anxiety disorders reviewed the main subject areas and considered the strength of evidence and its clinical implications. The guidelines were constructed after extensive feedback from participants and interested parties. The strength of supporting evidence for recommendations was rated. The guidelines cover the diagnosis of anxiety disorders and key steps in clinical management, including acute treatment, relapse prevention and approaches for patients who do not respond to first-line treatments.

Overactive Performance Monitoring in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Unraveling Affective Processes and Modulation by Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Balzus, Luisa 15 July 2024 (has links)
Eine überaktive Überwachung eigener Handlungen, welche sich in erhöhten Amplituden der error-related negativity (ERN) zeigt, scheint eine zentrale Rolle in der Pathophysiologie der Zwangsstörung zu spielen. Die funktionelle Bedeutsamkeit der ERN, die Mechanismen, die zur erhöhten ERN bei Zwangsstörungen beitragen und der Nutzen der ERN als Ansatzpunkt für Interventionen sind jedoch nicht vollständig geklärt. Diese Dissertation umfasst drei Studien, deren Ziel es war, diese Aspekte zu untersuchen. Studie 1 untersuchte die affektive Bewertung eigener Handlungen und zeigte, dass Handlungen automatisch affektive Valenz zugeschrieben wird. Darauf aufbauend untersuchte Studie 2, ob die ERN die Valenzbewertung von Fehlern widerspiegelt und ob eine veränderte Fehlerbewertung zur erhöhten ERN bei Zwangsstörungen beiträgt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass Personen mit Zwangsstörung eine verminderte Valenzbewertung von Fehlern aufweisen, lieferten aber keine Hinweise auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen ERN und Fehlerbewertung, was nahelegt, dass eine veränderte Fehlerbewertung nicht der erhöhten ERN bei Zwangsstörungen zugrunde liegt. Studie 3 untersuchte, ob die ERN durch nicht-invasive Hirnstimulation modulierbar ist und lieferte Hinweise darauf, dass kathodale transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation über dem prä-supplementär motorischen Areal die ERN bei gesunden Personen und Personen mit Zwangsstörung reduziert. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Studien, dass die Handlungsüberwachung die affektive Bewertung eigener Handlungen umfasst und dass dieser Prozess bei Zwangsstörungen verändert ist; eine veränderte Fehlerbewertung scheint jedoch nicht der erhöhten ERN bei Zwangsstörungen zugrunde zu liegen. Diese Erkenntnisse tragen zum Verständnis neurokognitiver Veränderungen bei dieser Störung bei. Zudem zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass nicht-invasive Hirnstimulation das Potenzial hat, die ERN bei Personen mit Zwangsstörung abzuschwächen. Dies könnte den Weg für neue Interventionsstrategien ebnen. / Overactive performance monitoring, as indicated by increased amplitudes of the error-related negativity (ERN), is considered to play a central role in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the functional significance of the ERN, the mechanisms contributing to increased ERN amplitudes in OCD, and the utility of the ERN as a target for intervention are not fully understood. This dissertation comprises three studies that aimed to shed light on these questions. Study 1 examined the affective evaluation of own actions, revealing that affective valence is automatically assigned to actions. Building upon this, Study 2 investigated whether the ERN reflects the valence evaluation of errors and whether altered error evaluation contributes to heightened ERN magnitude in OCD. The results indicated that individuals with OCD show reduced valence evaluation of errors, yet they provided no evidence for an association between ERN and error evaluation, suggesting that altered error evaluation may not underlie elevated ERN magnitude in OCD. Study 3 investigated whether the ERN can be modulated by non-invasive brain stimulation, and provided tentative evidence that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the presupplementary motor area reduces the ERN in healthy individuals and individuals with OCD. In summary, the studies provide evidence that performance monitoring encompasses the affective evaluation of own actions and demonstrate that this process is altered in OCD; however, aberrant error evaluation does not seem to underlie heightened ERN amplitudes in OCD. These insights contribute to the understanding of neurocognitive alterations in this disorder. Additionally, the results suggest that non-invasive brain stimulation has the potential to attenuate the ERN in individuals with OCD, which may pave the way for novel intervention strategies.

Evidence-based pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder: A revision of the 2005 guidelines from the British Association for Psychopharmacology

Baldwin, David S., Anderson, Ian M., Nutt, David J., Allgulander, Christer, Bandelow, Borwin, den Boer, Johan A., Christmas, David M., Davies, Simon, Fineberg, Naomi, Lidbetter, Nicky, Malizia, Andrea, McCrone, Paul, Nabarro, Daniel, O’Neill, Catherine, Scott, Jan, van der Wee, Nic, Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich 17 September 2019 (has links)
This revision of the 2005 British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines for the evidence-based pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders provides an update on key steps in diagnosis and clinical management, including recognition, acute treatment, longer-term treatment, combination treatment, and further approaches for patients who have not responded to first-line interventions. A consensus meeting involving international experts in anxiety disorders reviewed the main subject areas and considered the strength of supporting evidence and its clinical implications. The guidelines are based on available evidence, were constructed after extensive feedback from participants, and are presented as recommendations to aid clinical decision-making in primary, secondary and tertiary medical care. They may also serve as a source of information for patients, their carers, and medicines management and formulary committees.
