Increased Signaling via Adenosine A1 Receptors, Sleep Deprivation, Imipramine, and Ketamine Inhibit Depressive-like Behavior via Induction of Homer1a.

ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder is among the most commonly diagnosed disabling mental diseases. Several non-pharmacological treatments of depression upregulate adenosine concentration and/or adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) in the brain. To test whether enhanced A1R signaling mediates antidepressant effects, we generated a transgenic mouse with enhanced doxycycline-regulated A1R expression, specifically in forebrain neurons. Upregulating A1R led to pronounced acute and chronic resilience toward depressive-like behavior in various tests. Conversely, A1R knockout mice displayed an increased depressive-like behavior and were resistant to the antidepressant effects of sleep deprivation (SD). Various antidepressant treatments increase homer1a expression in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Specific siRNA knockdown of homer1a in mPFC enhanced depressive-like behavior and prevented the antidepressant effects of A1R upregulation, SD, imipramine, and ketamine treatment. In contrast, viral overexpression of homer1a in the mPFC had antidepressant effects. Thus, increased expression of homer1a is a final common pathway mediating the antidepressant effects of different antidepressant treatments.

Project description:Adenosine A(1) receptor antagonists have diuretic/natriuretic activity and may be useful for treating sodium-retaining diseases, many of which are associated with increased renal sympathetic tone. Therefore, it is important to determine whether A(1) receptor antagonists alter renal sympathetic neurotransmission. In isolated, perfused rat kidneys, renal vasoconstriction induced by renal sympathetic nerve simulation was attenuated by 1) 1,3-dipropyl-8-p-sulfophenylxanthine (xanthine analog that is a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist, but is cell membrane impermeable and thus does not block intracellular phosphodiesterases), 2) xanthine amine congener (xanthine analog that is a selective A(1) receptor antagonist), 3) 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine (xanthine analog that is a highly selective A(1) receptor antagonist), and 4) FK453 (nonxanthine analog that is a highly selective A(1) receptor antagonist). In contrast, FR113452 (enantiomer of FK453 that does not block A(1) receptors), MRS-1754 (selective A(2B) receptor antagonist), and VUF-5574 (selective A(3) receptor antagonist) did not alter responses to renal sympathetic nerve stimulation, and ZM-241385 (selective A(2A) receptor antagonist) enhanced responses. Antagonism of A(1) receptors did not alter renal spillover of norepinephrine. 2-Chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (highly selective A(1) receptor agonist) increased renal vasoconstriction induced by exogenous norepinephrine, an effect that was blocked by 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine, U73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), GF109203X (protein kinase C inhibitor), PP1 (c-src inhibitor), wortmannin (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor), and OSU-03012 (3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 inhibitor). These results indicate that adenosine formed during renal sympathetic nerve stimulation enhances the postjunctional effects of released norepinephrine via coincident signaling and contributes to renal sympathetic neurotransmission. Likely, the coincident signaling pathway is: phospholipase C → protein kinase C → c-src → phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase → 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1.
