Background: Dominant-submissive relationships depend upon functionality of the neural circuits involving monoaminergic neurotransmission. Behavioral profiles of selectively bred dominant (Dom) and submissive (Sub) mice have been proposed to mimic hyperthymic- or depressive-like temperaments observed in patients with affective disorders. These mice differentially respond to psychotropic agents and stressful stimuli, however, the mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. To address these mechanisms, we analyzed the brain monoamine content and responses to paroxetine (PXT) in Dom and Sub mice. Methods: The behavioral effects of PXT (3 mg/kg, single injection) were assessed with the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Forced Swim Test (FST). Monoamine tissue content was analyzed by HPLC-ECD. Results: Compared to Dom, Sub mice had decreased levels of serotonin (5-HT) in the brainstem (BS), reduced levels of norepinephrine (NE) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HPC), and striatum (STR) and elevated levels of dopamine (DA) in PFC, HPC, STR and BS. In EPM, PXT administration increased locomotion and exploration in Dom mice, with no effect in Sub mice. In FST, PXT disrupted immobility in Dom mice only. The PXT-produced differences in regional monoamine content were strain-dependent and consistent with the behavioral alterations. Limitations: Chronic PXT treatment, in vivo monoamine assays and sex-dependent analysis were out of the scope of this study and will be performed in the future in order to provide an in-depth evaluation of the neurochemical mechanisms underlying temperament-dependent responses to SSRIs. Conclusions: Our findings suggest neurochemical mechanisms that underlie temperament-based response to antidepressant treatment.
