Abstract

Hoe kan je iemand helpen die gestresseerd, angstig of depressief overkomt? Hoe ga je om met iemand die misschien een verslaving ontwikkelt of iemand die aan zelfmoord denkt? Wat als iemand het moeilijk lijkt te hebben, maar je niet goed weet wat er aan de hand is? Wat kan je dan zeggen of doen? Luister! Eerste hulp bij psychische problemen biedt je handvaten om iemand te helpen die het psychisch moeilijk heeft.Je hoeft geen voorkennis te hebben over geestelijke gezondheid! Dit boek stelt een actieplan voor dat je kan helpen om signalen te herkennen dat iemand psychische problemen ondervindt, die persoon gericht te ondersteunen, eventueel te helpen professionele hulp te vinden én tijdens dit proces goed voor jezelf te zorgen. In het boek wordt het actieplan ook toegepast bij 12 verschillende thema's.(https://www.rodekruis.be/wat-kan-jij-doen/volg-een-opleiding/ons-handboek-help-eerste-hulp-voor-iedereen/luister-eerste-hulp-bij-psychische-problemen)

Abstract

Alpha-mannosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by lysosomal α-mannosidase deficiency. In human patients the disease is characterized by an array of physical and physiological symptoms as well as psychiatric disease. This master thesis will focus on the psychiatric symptoms. Patients may show recurrent episodes of confusion and psychosis, delusions, auditory and visual hallucinations, anxiety and depression. In addition, these symptoms are often preceded by a physical or psychological stressor. A mouse model of alpha-mannosidosis was created that mimicked the human features of the milder form of this disease. However, psychopathological behaviour alterations in this mouse model have not been described elaborately yet, nor has the influence of environmental stress been assessed in this mouse model of alpha-mannosidosis. Therefore, the goal of this master thesis is to make up a psychopathological behaviour profile of alpha-mannosidosis mice and assess its relationship to environmental stress. In addition, as the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy for the correction of storage in alpha-mannosidosis has been proved in several animal studies of alpha-mannosidosis mice, a second objective is to assess the effects of enzyme replacement therapy on psychopathological behaviour in these alpha-mannosidosis mice. Two groups of alpha-mannosidase knock-out mice and control mice were used. The first group comprised an experimental group of 17 4-to-5-month-old alpha-mannosidosis mice and a control group of 17 age-matched control mice. Before these mice were assessed in a behavioural test battery, a genotype mixed group of 17 out of these 34 mice underwent a stress conditioning procedure in order to elicit chronic stress. Then, all mice were assessed in a comprehensive behavioural test battery comprised of seven behavioural paradigms, including depression, anxiety, explorative behaviour, sensorimotor gating, social exploration and working memory tests. Prepulse inhibition test was used to assess sensorimotor gating deficiency. Amphetamine provocation test investigated reaction to a psychostimulant. Open field considered exploratory behaviour and elevated plus maze assessed anxiety-related behaviour. Sucrose preference test and tail suspension test were employed to assess depression-related behaviour. Lastly, sociability/preference for social novelty (SPSN) test was used to assess autism-related behaviour in mice. Afterwards, 17 non-stressed mice were used for further testing, namely assessment of short-term enzyme replacement therapy via open field test, SPSN test and amphetamine provocation test. Moreover, another group of 32 alpha-mannosidosis mice and control mice were tested for the assessment of long-term enzyme replacement therapy via open field test and amphetamine provocation test. Test results were analysed using analysis of variance and Student's t-tests. Behaviour resembling the psychiatric symptoms in human patients was not found in present study. Gene x environmental stress interaction could not be confirmed, except in amphetamine provocation test, and enzyme replacement therapy did not reveal behavioural changes in alpha-mannosidosis mice either. Differences in symptoms between alpha-mannosidosis mice and human patients might be due to the younger age of mice. In addition, stress conditioning procedure might not have succeeded.

Abstract

α-Mannosidose is een lysosomale stapelingsziekte die 1 op 500.000 kinderen treft. Net als de meeste stofwisselingsziekten, is α-mannosidose tot op heden ongeneesbaar. Er zijn een aantal mogelijke behandelingen die symptomen kunnen verminderen of het progressieve verloop van de ziekte kunnen vertragen, zoals enzymvervangingstherapie en beenmergtransplantatie . Verder onderzoek is noodzakelijk om deze technieken verder te verfijnen en te optimaliseren.

Abstract

Alpha-mannosidosis is an lysosomal storage disorder. These disorders are characterized by an enzyme deficiency and are responsible for the ineffective degradation of substances in the lysosomes. In alpha-mannosidosis the enzyme alpha-mannosidase works inadequate and causes intralysosomal storage of oligosaccharides. A lot of efforts have been made to provide an effective treatment. So far, enzyme replacement therapy seems very promising, however further research is necessary. Exercise therapy has been proven beneficial in other diseases. Research has shown significant effects of exercise therapy in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. These diseases share motor function disturbances as a symptom with alpha-mannosidosis. Therefore it would be interesting to research the effects of exercise therapy in alpha-mannosidosis and investigate if it may be a worthy addition to treatment. To investigate the effects of exercise therapy, an exercise protocol was conducted on an alpha-mannosidosis mouse model and a control group. As exercise protocol a weekly routine of a 45 minutes training divided in three days on an alternating rotarod was administered. To evaluate the effect of the exercise protocol, a behavioral assessment was conducted. The rotarod showed no differences between genotype after a training period of three months which could be indicative of a beneficial effect of training. The balance beam test, which also measured motor coordination and balance, showed effects of genotype and exercise protocol. Knock-out mice were slower to traverse the beams and made more footslips. However exercised mice were faster to traverse than non-exercised mice. Reduced exploratory behavior in knock-out mice was found by means of the open field test and a difference in sensitivity to a psychostimulant was observed, which indicated a reduced sensitivity in knock-out mice. This finding is in contrast with what could have been expected, since previous research has shown psychotiform behavior in the alpha-mannosidosis mouse model. Further research is required to resolve this contradiction. No differences were found in working memory or in spatial learning and memory between knock-out and control mice. The latter is in contrast with previous research that show spatial memory impairment in knock-out mice. Limited effects of exercise protocol were found, nonetheless some effects are found and given the beneficial effects of more extensive exercise therapy in other diseases, further research with an elaborated exercise protocol is advised.
