Effects of conditioned emotional stimuli (CES), which induce psychological stress, on the expression of cerebral diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) mRNA in mouse were examined using a communication box. Cerebral DBI mRNA expression significantly increased in a time-dependent manner after the application of CES. The maximal enhancement of DBI mRNA expression was observed 2 days after the application of CES, and this increase faded out over 7 days after the treatment. Flunitrazepam (1 mg/kg), an agonist for central benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, completely abolished the CES-induced elevation of cerebral DBI contents and its mRNA expressions. These results indicate that cerebral DBI is enhanced by psychological stress, which is regulated by central BZD receptors.
