In Vivo Structural and Functional Abnormalities of the Striatums Is Related to Decreased Astrocytic BDNF in Itpr2-/- Mice Exhibiting Depressive-Like Behavior by Shanmei Zeng, Kai Liu, Jingyu Zhang, Chunhui Chen, Yihua Xu, Yulan Wu, Yanjia Deng, Xuegang Sun, Ge Wen, Linlin Jing

“…Moreover, decreased expression of mBDNF was found in both sample tissues of the striatum in Itpr2-/- mice and Itpr2-/- C8-D1A. Conclusion. By combining biochemistry and MR analyses, this study provides evidences to support that the Itpr2-related neuropathological effect is possibly mediated by the striatal abnormality associated with dysfunctional astrocytes in Itpr2-/- mice in vivo, thus may help us better understand underlying mechanisms of Itpr2 deficiency as well as its relation to depressive-like behavior.…”
