Previous issue date: 2014-08-11 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES / Indiv?duos dependentes de etanol, ao reduzirem ou cessarem seu consumo,
apresentam um conjunto de sinais e sintomas, dentre eles, alguns relacionados ?
ansiedade. Para um melhor entendimento das bases neurais envolvidas com a
ansiedade na abstin?ncia, ensaios pr?-cl?nicos v?m utilizando modelos de consumo
de etanol seguido de retirada em ratos submetidos a distintos testes de ansiedade,
dentre eles, o labirinto em cruz elevado. O presente estudo teve por objetivo
investigar se a retirada do etanol em curto e longo prazo promoveria altera??es
comportamentais sugestivas de ansiedade no teste do labirinto em cruz elevado
(LCE) e no teste do campo aberto (CA) e, ainda, se influenciaria o n?mero de c?lulas
imunorreativas para a serotonina (5-HT-IR) no n?cleo dorsal da rafe (NDR), fonte de
inerva??o seroton?rgica ascendente relacionada ? ansiedade. Ratas Wistar com
aproximadamente 90 dias de vida foram submetidas a concentra??es crescentes de
etanol como ?nica fonte de dieta l?quida (2% durante os tr?s primeiros dias, seguido
de 4% durante tr?s dias e 6% durante 15 dias) ou ?gua (grupo controle), ambos com
livre acesso ? ra??o. Na etapa comportamental, no 21? dia de consumo, o etanol foi
substitu?do por ?gua (retirada) e, ap?s 72 horas ou 21 dias de retirada, os animais
controle e submetidos ? retirada foram expostos ao teste do LCE, onde foram
avaliadas as porcentagens de tempo gasto e de entradas nos bra?os abertos e o
n?mero de entradas nos bra?os fechados durante 5 minutos. Vinte e quatro horas
ap?s o teste no LCE, os animais foram submetidos ao teste do CA por 15 minutos.
Durante este per?odo avaliou-se a dist?ncia total percorrida pelos animais e durante
os 5 minutos iniciais foram avaliados o tempo, a dist?ncia e o n?mero de entradas
no centro do aparato. Na etapa imunoistoqu?mica, os enc?falos de animais
submetidos ao consumo de etanol por 21 dias, seguidos ou n?o de retirada de 72
horas e 21 dias, e seus controles foram submetidos ? t?cnica da imunoistoqu?mica
para detectar c?lulas 5-HT-IR nas por??es dorsal e caudal do NDR. Os dados
comportamentais mostraram que tanto a retirada do etanol em curto prazo, quanto
em longo prazo diminuiu a explora??o dos bra?os abertos do LCE. No teste do CA
n?o foram observadas altera??es na locomo??o no per?odo de 15 minutos; por?m,
no mesmo teste, durante os 5 primeiros minutos observou-se efeito do tipo
ansiog?nico nos animais submetidos ? 22 dias de retirada do etanol. Na etapa
imunoistoqu?mica, n?o foram observadas diferen?as na contagem de c?lulas 5-HTIR
nas por??es dorsal e caudal do NDR dos animais submetidos ? retirada em curto
e longo prazo do etanol, em rela??o ao controle. No entanto, o consumo do etanol
por 21 dias reduziu a contagem de c?lulas 5-HT-IR na regi?o dorsal deste n?cleo.
Em conjunto, os dados aqui obtidos demonstram um efeito do tipo ansiog?nico
promovido pela retirada em curto e longo prazo do etanol n?o relacionado a
altera??es na marca??o de serotonina nas por??es dorsal e caudal do NDR. / Ethanol withdrawn individuals present a wealth of signs and symptoms, some of
them related with anxiety. To better understand brain areas involved in anxiety
caused by ethanol abstinence, preclinical studies have been employing models of
ethanol consumption followed by withdrawal in rodents submitted to behavioral tests
of anxiety, such as the elevated plus-maze. The aim of this study was to investigate if
short- or long-term ethanol withdrawal could alter both anxiety-related behaviors in
the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and open field tests and the number of serotonin
immunorreactive cels in the dorsal raphe nucleus, a midbrain area associated with
anxiety. Female Wistar rats (90 days old) were submitted to increasing
concentrations of ethanol (2% for 3 days, 4% for 3 days and 6% for 15 days) as the
only source of liquid diet and the control group received water ad libitum. Both groups
received food ad libitum. In the behavioral experiments, on 21st day of consumption,
ethanol was substituted by water (withdrawal) and 72 h or 21 days after withdrawal
animals were submitted to the EPM, where it was evaluated the percentage of time
and entries in the open arms and the entries in the enclosed arms during 5 minutes.
Twenty and four hours after testing in the EPM, animals were submitted to the open
field test for 15 minutes, where the distance traveled by the animals was observed
along this period. During the first 5 minutes, the distance traveled, entries and time
spent in the center of the test were analyzed. In the immunohistochemistry study,
animals were submitted to 21 days of consumption of ethanol followed or not by 72
hours and 21 days of withdrawal previously perfusion, brain tissue preparation and
quantification of serotonin dyed cells in the dorsal and caudal portions in the dorsal
raphe nucleus. Behavioral data showed that both short- and long-term ethanol
withdrawals reduced the open arms exploration in the EPM. In the open field test
there were no locomotor activity changes during the total 15 minutes; however, longterm
ethanol withdrawal reduced the exploration in the center of the open field during
the first 5 minutes. In the immunohistochemistry step, there were no differences,
when short- and long-term withdrawn groups were compared with control group;
nevertheless, the chronic consumption of ethanol decreased the number of
serotonergic immunorreactive cells in the dorsal part of dorsal raphe nucleus. Taken
together, results here obtained suggest that both short- and long-term ethanol
withdrawals promoted an anxiogenic-like effect that was not related with changes in
the serotonin immunorreactivity in the dorsal and caudal parts of the dorsal raphe
nucleus.
