Objective : It is well known that benzodiazepine binding site ligands
influence learning and memory and that the a5 subunit is significantly
involved in cognition enhancement mediated by the negative modu-
lation of GABAA receptor function. PWZ-029, a moderately selective
a5GABA A receptor inverse agonist, improved learning in passive but
not in active avoidance test, without effects on anxiety or muscle tone.
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of PWZ-029 and
DMCM, a non-selective inverse agonist, on learning ability and short-
term memory in Morris water-maze (MWM) test.
Methods : MWM test was conducted 20 minutes after in-
traperitoneal administration of treatments (solvent, 5, 15 or 30 mg/kg
PWZ-029 or 2 mg/kg DMCM) to male Wistar rats. The single-day
MWM task consisted of 3 consecutive blocks of 4 trials lasting maxi-
mally 60 s each and a probe trial. During spatial learning the platform
was hidden in the middle of the NE quadrant.
Results : Two-way AN...OVA with one repeated measure (block) and
animals nested in treatment has shown that latency to find the plat-
form, path efficiency and total distance travelled were on the control
level for DMCM and all doses of PWZ-029. Factors block and treat-
ment were significant only for latency to first entry to the NE quadrant
[block effect : F(2,386)=10.50, p<0.001, treatment effect : F(4,31)=3.10,
p<0.05]. Tukey’s post-hoc test revealed that animals treated with
DMCM and 5 mg/kg of PWZ-029 had longer latency to first entry
to the target quadrant than those treated with solvent (p=0.001,
p<0.001, respectively). Probe trial performance did not differ signifi-
cantly between treatments.
Conclusion : These results suggest that neither non-selective nor b5
subunit-selective negative modulation of GABA A receptors is suf-
ficient to enhance learning and short-term memory in the single-day
MWM spatial task.
