The Contribution of Oxytocin and Vasopressin to Mammalian Social Behavior: Potential Role in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract: Oxytocin (OT) and arginine-vasopressin (AVP) are 2 peptides that are produced in the brain and released via the pituitary gland to the peripheral blood, where they have diverse physiological functions. In the last 2 decades it has become clear that these peptides also play a central role in the modulation of mammalian social behavior by their actions within the brain. Several lines of evidence suggest their involvement in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is known to be associated with impaired social cogn… Show more

“…OXTR is known to be involved in modeling human social behavior (social memory and recognition, anxiety, sexual and aggressive behaviors, and maternal-offspring bonding), and a potential role of the "prosocial" hormone in autism [168]. The involvement of this gene was suggested by its deletion in an autistic patient.…”

“…Mint gyógyszer felhasználható a depresszió, a szorongás, a szkizofrénia és az autizmus kezelésében. Állatkísérle-tek és emberen végzett megfi gyelések mutatják, hogy az oxitocinkezelés hatással van a szociális magatartás zavaraira (például a szkizofrénia és autizmus [54] fellépésére), miközben az agyi oxitocinrendszer befolyá-solása hatással van az említett jelenségekre [55,56]. Éppen ezért e hormon alkalmazása előtérbe került az autizmus és szkizofrénia terápiájában [56,57,58].…”

“…Deciphering the ever more important hormone contribution to psycho-behavioral modelling triggered a reorientation of studies towards genes encoding hormones, neuropeptides and membrane receptor cells like: GABRA3 (Xq28), GABRB3 (15q11.2-q12), GABBR2 (9q22.1-q22.3)/encoding GABA receptor-proteins, which participate in the inhibition of excitation transmission, AVPR1A (12q14.2)/encoding the 1a arginine vasopressin receptor, OXT (20p13)/coding for oxytocin and neurophyzine 1, OXTR (3p25.3)/coding for oxytocin receptor, DRD1 and 3 (5q35 and 3q13.3)/coding for dopamine receptors (Anderson B.M. et al, 2008;Harony & Wagner, 2010;Muhler et al, 2004;Yirmiya et al, 2006). Some genes from autism linked-CNVs have metabolically correlated expressions, which amplify their candidate gene status.…”
