Excessive motivation, such as increased reward-seeking behavior or drive to perform or to achieve goals, is common during mania (35). To assess preference for a natural reward, we tested sucrose preference. We found that Myk/+ mice consumed more sucrose solution relative to water than +/+ mice (Fig. 3C). In addition, Myk/+ mice initially consumed more sucrose solution before the choice test (Fig. 3D). The increased preference for sucrose is indicative of a hyperhedonic state common to mania. To assess drive and motivation, we used the Porsolt forced swim test, which involves measurement of escape-directed behavior. In this test, Myk/+ mice spent a longer time active than +/+ mice (Fig. 3E). Antidepressant drugs have been shown to increase the duration of mobility in the forced swim test (36) and the increased escape-directed behavior of Myk/+ mice suggests a lower level of depressive-like behavior, which correlates with their increase in preference for rewarding stimuli.

Attenuation of mania-like behavior by lithium and VPA in Myk/+ mice. (A) Chronic treatment with lithium reduces total distance traveled by Myk/+ (n = 20) compared to untreated Myk/+ (n = 22) over 30 min in the open field and had no effect in +/+ mice (n = 28 control, n = 27 lithium). (B) VPA reduced total distance traveled by Myk/+ (n = 20) compared to vehicle-treated Myk/+ (n = 22), and had no effect on +/+ mice (n = 28 vehicle, n = 27 VPA) over 30 min. (C) Lithium reduces open-arm duration in Myk/+ (n = 18) compared with control Myk/+ (n = 19), but had no effect on +/+ mice (n = 29 control, n = 29 lithium) in the EPM. (D) VPA reduces open-arm duration in Myk/+ (n = 12) compared with vehicle-treated Myk/+ (n = 10) but had no effect on +/+ mice (n = 12 control, n = 12 VPA) in the EPM. (E) ERK inhibitor SL327 decreased distance traveled in Myk/+ (n = 12) compared with vehicle-treated Myk/+ (n = 9), and had no effect in +/+ mice (n = 12 vehicle, n = 12 SL327) in the open field. (F) SL327 reduced open-arm duration in Myk/+ (n = 6) compared with Myk/+ vehicle (n = 6) but had no effect on +/+ mice (n = 6 control, n = 6 SL327) in the EPM. (G) Rostafuroxin decreased distance traveled in Myk/+ (n = 12) compared with vehicle treatment (n = 12) and had no effect in +/+ mice (n = 13 vehicle, n = 15 rostafuroxin) in the open field. (H) In the EPM rostafuroxin reduced open arm duration in Myk/+ (n = 12) compared with vehicle treated Myk/+ (n = 12) and had no effect in +/+ mice (n = 12 vehicle, n = 15 rostafuroxin). All data are presented as means SEM, *P
Free intracellular Ca2+ and Ca2+-dependent signaling in Myk/+ mice. (A) Mean resting intracellular ([Ca2+]i) is stably elevated in cortical cells cultured from Myk/+ (n = 47) than +/+ mice (n = 19), as measured by the ratio of fura-2 fluorescence emission upon 340-nm and 380-nm excitation (P
Increasing the contribution of the seizure-resistant C57BL/6NCr strain (23) to the genetic background of Myk/+ mice had a significant phenotypic impact. In contrast to N12 C57BL/6NCr Myk/+ mice, Myk/+ mice at N20 C57BL/6NCr did not show stress-induced seizure activity in ECoG recordings and had increased total brain NKA activity. These results support our previous finding that an increase in NKA activity contributes to seizure resistance (21). Nonetheless, the possibility remains that unobserved subcortical epileptiform discharges contribute to mania-like behavior in Myk/+ mice. Interestingly, epilepsy and bipolar disorder can be comorbid in humans (48) and they share a common pathophysiology (49). Given that Myk/+ mice and ICV ouabain-treated rats exhibit mania-like behavior and increased susceptibility to seizures (50, 51), these models may help to explain why these debilitating conditions can be comorbid and suggest that increasing NKA activity may serve as therapy for mania and epilepsy.
Thus far, there have been no indications that Myk/+ mice cycle between mania and depression, and future studies may determine whether depression-like symptoms occur after stress, sleep deprivation, or administration of antidepressants. However, we have shown that mice heterozygous for a point mutation in Atp1a3 intron 4 (Atp1a3tm1Ling) exhibit increased susceptibility to depression-related behavior and a 33% reduction of brain NKA activity following chronic variable stress (52). Taking these data together, our work suggests that mood is significantly correlated with reductions in brain NKA activity. Theoretically, as previously hypothesized (53, 54), modulation of NKA activity could account for changes in mood in bipolar disorder.
Similar to an ouabain model of mania (8), phospho-activation of the ERK signaling cascade was enhanced in Myk/+ hippocampus, possibly by increasing transmitter-evoked Ca2+ signaling. However, p-ERK levels were not restored in Myk/+/Tg mice, suggesting that multiple signals contribute to mania-like behavior. In parallel with previous findings (42), the dose of SL327 that we used had no effect on locomotor activity in +/+ mice. In contrast, a higher dose of SL327 (60) or deletion of the Mapk3 (ERK1) gene (44, 61) have been shown to increase locomotor activity in rats and mice, respectively. These results suggest that the degree of ERK activation is correlated with mania-like behavior in animal models, and support the ERK pathway as a promising target for mood stabilizers (62). Also in accordance with an ouabain model of mania (9), the Myk/+ hippocampus showed elevated phospho-activation of Akt. p-Akt was reduced in Myk/+/Tg mice, suggesting it may contribute to the regulation of mania-like behavior. Activated Akt phosphorylates and inhibits the activity of GSK-3β, a well-known molecular target of lithium and VPA (63), mood stabilizing drugs that diminished many of the behavioral abnormalities of Myk/+ mice. Because Akt/GSK-3β signaling is regulated by dopamine (64), our results suggest that Akt may also be a promising target for mood stabilizers. Myk/+ mice could be used as a tool to investigate the potential of ERK and Akt modulators as antimanic therapies and to assess the prophylactic effect of novel mood stabilizers. Finally, because Myk/+ mice and ouabain-treated rats show similar p-ERK and p-Akt increases in the hippocampus, the genetic Myk/+ model of mania may replace the pharmacological ouabain model of mania, thus providing a less laborious model for exploring potential therapeutic approaches.
Rostafuroxin is a digitoxigenin derivative that antagonizes the signaling action of endogenous ouabain on the NKA that acts upstream of ERK to reduce ouabain-mediated NKA signaling (43). Its effective reduction of mania-like behavior in Myk/+ mice supports the notion that the phenotype of Myk/+ mice is caused by increased NKA downstream signaling.

that's generated significant public opposition.\n\n\n\nAppalachian Power has testified to the commission that its coal supplies ran tight in late 2021 into 2022, and there were times when it could not run the plants.\n\n\n\nThe price of coal and natural gas spiked in late 2021 owing to a fast recovery in electricity demand after slumping during COVID-related closures. Russia's invasion of Ukraine early last year also sent demand soaring and kept prices high.\n\n\n\nAppalachian Power told the PSC it couldn't get enough coal to fuel its John Amos, Mountaineer and Mitchell plants in West Virginia. Instead, it had to purchase power from the PJM regional grid and sought to pass along those costs to consumers.\n\n\n\nLocal governments, industrial customers, residents and consumer advocacy groups uniformly opposed the plan. If approved, it would have increased the average residential user's monthly bill by about $18. Four public hearings were held on the request.\n\n\n\nThe PSC has been skeptical of Appalachian Power's case. In late 2021, it stopped short of ordering the company to operate its coal plants 69 percent of the time, to take advantage of their perceived lower cost than purchased power.\n\n\n\nIt has questioned whether the company was idling the coal plants to meet the decarbonization goals of its corporate parent, American Electric Power.\n\n\n\nAppalachian Power officials testified that decarbonization was not a reason.\n\n\n\nThe PSC is currently conducting a review to determine if the $297 million in extra costs were prudently incurred. Until then, the commission said in its ruling Friday that it will approve no further increases.\n\n\n\nAppalachian Power has argued that deferring recovery of that balance will mean an even bigger balance to recover in the future -- and a steeper increase for ratepayers.\n\n\n\nThe company is suing one of its largest coal suppliers, American Consolidation Natural Resources, in Columbus, Ohio, and the New York State Supreme Court.\n\n\n\nA recent report by Energy Innovation Policy & Technology found that new solar and wind power would be cheaper than every operating coal plant in the state.\n\n\n\nAppalachian Power is an underwriter of West Virginia Public Broadcasting.\n","post_title":"PSC Denies Appalachian Power's $297 Million Rate Request","post_excerpt":"The PSC is currently conducting a review to determine if the $297 million in extra costs were prudently incurred.

The state saw an increase of nearly 23 percent, the sixth highest increase in the nation.\n\n\n\nWest Virginia\u2019s First Choice Services was awarded $1,050,000 last year to continue and expand the West Virginia Navigator program, which provides free assistance to people finding and selecting healthcare options through the Marketplace, Medicaid and CHIP.\n\n\n\nJeremy Smith, West Virginia Navigator program director, said a person is more likely to follow through with ACA enrollment when they work with a navigator.\n\n\n\n\u201cIt's really different for every family, and that's why it can be so confusing, because we can't just send out blanket information or this is the best way to do it,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe block off at least one hour appointments for each person, so that we can go through everything with a fine tooth comb, and make sure that they understand the options, and then help them make an informed decision of what's going to be best for them.\u201d\n\n\n\nNationwide, more than 16.3 million people signed up for an ACA Marketplace Health Plan during open enrollment. Smith said he believes this increase shows how education of the public\u2019s options for their health care can make a difference.\n\n\n\n\u201cThese are a lot of middle class working individuals that 10 years ago couldn't have gotten health insurance, and now because of the Affordable Care Act, they can shop on a marketplace plan, and the government helps pay for whichever plan they pick out,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe've been working like crazy the last year and a half to get out in the community, and do outreach efforts to make sure people know about this option.\u201d\n\n\n\nWest Virginia Navigator encourages anyone who loses their health coverage anytime during the year to contact them to find out what their options are, as some will qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.\n\n\n\nFor more information about the West Virginia Navigator Program, visit www.ACANavigator.com.\n","post_title":"W.Va.
