Knockout mice and one application for them
Hypothesis: the response
to a drug requires your
favorite molecule
Gene (DNA)
Interrupt the gene
with a detectable protein
(knock out the gene)
EGFP
Replace the mouse gene
with the
altered gene
Breed many
identical mice
Select the mouse
with the
altered gene

Knockout mice in Drugs and the Brain
(Behavioral observations)
1. The m-opioid receptor
m-opioid receptor KOs specifically lack responses to certain types of pain (next slide).
2. The a4b2 nicotinic receptor
a4 or b2 nicotinic receptor knockouts:
(1) respond less to nicotine in pain tests (next slide)
(2) fail to self-administer nicotine (next slide).
3. The dopamine transporter
Dopamine transporter knockout mice:
(1) are hyperactive,
(2) show less response to cocaine,
(3) self-administer cocaine less
4. Cannabinoid receptors
Cannabinoid receptor knockouts have little overt differences to normal mice.
They don’t show these effects of THC and anandamide:
(1) decreased pain responses and (2) decreased heart rate.
--------------------------------------------------5. But NMDA receptor knockouts die at birth: an uninformative result
14
Two behavioral tests often used on knockout mice
Pain:
Mice are placed on a hotplate at 55o C.
The experimenter notes the time to lick paws, jump, etc.
The experiment terminates at 30 s, regardless of the outcome.
A pain-relieving drug increases the time to react
No permanent harm to the mouse . . . Carefully regulated:

More on marijuana: legal status April 20, 2006
“US Inter-Agency Advisory Regarding Claims That Smoked Marijuana Is a Medicine”
http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2006/NEW01362.html
New York Times editorial page response 4/22/2006: “The Politics of Pot”
“The Bush administration's habit of politicizing its scientific agencies was on display again this week
when the Food and Drug Administration, for no compelling reason, unexpectedly issued a brief, poorly
documented statement disputing the therapeutic value of marijuana. The statement was described as a
response to numerous inquiries from Capitol Hill, but its likely intent was to buttress a crackdown on
people who smoke marijuana for medical purposes and to counteract state efforts to legalize the practice.
“Ordinarily, when the F.D.A. addresses a thorny issue, it convenes a panel of experts who wade
through the latest evidence and then render an opinion as to whether a substance is safe and effective to
use. This time the agency simply issued a skimpy one-page statement asserting that "no sound scientific
studies" supported the medical use of marijuana.
“That assertion is based on an evaluation by federal agencies in 2001 that justified the government's
decision to tightly regulate marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. But it appears to flout the
spirit of a 1999 report from the Institute of Medicine, a unit of the National Academy of Sciences.
“The institute was appropriately cautious in its endorsement of marijuana. It said the active
ingredients of marijuana appeared useful for treating pain, nausea and the severe weight loss associated
with AIDS. It warned that these potential benefits were undermined by inhaling smoke that is more toxic
than tobacco smoke. So marijuana smoking should be limited, it said, to those who are terminally ill or
don't respond to other therapies.
“Yet the F.D.A. statement, which was drafted with the help of other federal agencies that focus on drug
abuse, does not allow even that much leeway. It argues that state laws permitting the smoking of
marijuana with a doctor's recommendation are inconsistent with ensuring that all medications undergo
rigorous scrutiny in the drug approval process.
“That seems disingenuous. The government is actively discouraging relevant research, according to
scientists quoted by Gardiner Harris in yesterday's Times. It's obviously easier and safer to issue a brief,
dismissive statement than to back research that might undermine the administration's inflexible
32
opposition to the medical use of marijuana.”
