Retinoid X Receptor and NUR77 modulate amphetamine‐induced locomotor activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Amphetamine (AMPH) is a drug of abuse that modulates dopamine neurotransmission in the central nervous system. We recently showed that Nur77 expression is modulated by AMPH administration and that Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) ligands can modulate the effect of antipsychotic drugs. In the present study, we analyse the effect of HX531, a RXR antagonist, in wild type and Nur77 knockout mice in order to clarify the role of these transcription factors in AMPH‐induced behaviors. We use the classic behavioral sensitization paradigm, which consists in a 5‐day AMPH treatment followed by a 5‐day washout period. Sensitization is evidenced with a subsequent AMPH challenge on day 11. Ambulatory movements are assessed in a flex field apparatus for a period of 2 h. AMPH induces a progressive increase (sensitization) in the locomotor activity of wild type and Nur77‐deficient mice. The RXR antagonist reduces AMPH‐induced locomotion, whereas it remains inactive in Nur77‐deficient mice. The RXR antagonist also reduces basal locomotor activity of the mice and HX531 pre‐treatment partially suppresses acute AMPH effect on ambulatory movements, again only in wild type mice. However, the locomotor sensitization observed following repeated exposure to AMPH is not modified by HX531. These results indicate that both RXR and Nur77 nuclear receptors (possibly as heterodimerization partners) are involved in AMPH‐induced locomotor activity, but are not associated with the development of behavioral sensitization.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
