Abstract

Introduction: Social defeat (SD) in rats, which results from male intraspecific confrontations, is ethologically relevant and useful to understand stress effects on physiology and behavior.Methods: A systematic review of studies about biomarkers induced by the SD protocol and published from 2002 to 2013 was carried out in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Knowledge and ScienceDirect. The search terms were: social defeat, rat, neurotrophins, neuroinflammatory markers, and transcriptional factors.Results: Classical and recently discovered biomarkers were found to be relevant in stress-induced states. Findings were summarized in accordance to the length of exposure to stress: single, repeated, intermittent and continuous SD. This review found that the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a distinct marker of stress adaptation. Along with glucocorticoids and catecholamines, BDNF seems to be important in understanding stress physiology.Conclusion: The SD model provides a relevant tool to study stress response features, development of addictive behaviors, clinic depression and anxiety, as well as individual differences in vulnerability and resilience to stress.

Keywords

Resumo

Introdução: A derrota social (social defeat, SD) entre ratos, resultado da confrontação intraespecífica entre machos, é etologicamente relevante e útil para o entendimento dos efeitos do estresse na fisiologia e no comportamento.Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos sobre biomarcadores induzidos pelo protocolo de SD publicados entre 2002 e 2013, usando as bases de dados PubMed, Web of Knowledge e ScienceDirect. Os termos usados na busca foram: derrota social, neurotrofinas, marcadores neuroinflamatórios e fatores de transcrição.Resultados: Biomarcadores clássicos ou recentemente descobertos mostraram-se relevantes nos estados induzidos pelo estresse. Os achados foram resumidos de acordo com o tempo de exposição ao estresse: SD única, repetida, intermitente ou contínua. O fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro se mostrou um marcador específico de adaptação ao estresse. Assim como glicocorticóides e catecolaminas, o BDNF parece ser importante para o entendimento da fisiologia do estresse.Conclusão: O modelo de SD oferece uma ferramenta importante para estudar características da resposta ao estresse, desenvolvimento de comportamentos aditivos, depressão clínica e ansiedade, bem como diferenças individuais de vulnerabilidade e resiliência ao estresse.
