Abstract

The study of the noradrenergic neurotransmitter system remains one of the cornerstones of depression research. Better understanding of the action of norepinephrine and other catecholamines at the synaptic and intracellular level holds the potential for providing clues to the etiology of depression and introduces exciting possibilities for the development of novel medications for the treatment of depression. The following review of norepinephrine as it relates to depression will shed light on the current understanding of the noradrenergic system and the role for selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (selective NRIs) in the treatment of depression.

Differential time-course profiles of dopamine release and uptake changes induced by three dopamine uptake inhibitors.

Using real-time voltammetry, we compared the effects of cocaine (1.0, 3.0, or 10 microM), WIN 35428 (0.1, 0.5, or 2.0 microM), and nomifensine (0.2, 1.0, or 5.0 microM) on electrically evoked dopamine release and uptake in the rat accumbens slice. The time course for onset and offset of the drug effects were determined by perfusing single drug concentration for 30 min, followed by a 60-min washout. Cocaine elicited a rapid, concentration-independent increase in dopamine release and a more gradual, concentration-dependent inhibition of uptake. During washout, uptake inhibition rapidly abated to near baseline values. During the same period, the potentiation of dopamine release exhibited a slower offset for all concentrations and, for 10 microM cocaine, was even greater than that observed during drug perfusion ("rebound" increase). The release rebound was not observed during continuous 90-min perfusion, verifying that cocaine washout per se was a sufficient condition. Selective D1 or D2 antagonists (0.5 microM SCH 39166 or 2 microM sulpiride, respectively) were without effect on cocaine-induced release alterations. WIN 35428 and nomifensine induced similar changes in dopamine kinetics during perfusion. However, in contrast to cocaine, no consistent release rebound was observed during their washout. For 2 microM WIN 38425, washout and continuous perfusion groups exhibited similar changes in dopamine release and uptake. The time-course mismatch between uptake inhibition and DA release potentiation as well as release rebound during washout suggests that altered dopamine release might play a role in behavioral effects of cocaine.

Vasopressin-dependent flank marking in golden hamsters is suppressed by drugs used in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

BACKGROUND: Alterations in arginine vasopressin regulation and secretion have been proposed as one possible biochemical abnormality in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In golden hamsters, arginine vasopressin microinjections into the anterior hypothalamus trigger robust grooming and flank marking, a stereotyped scent marking behaviors. The intensity and repetition of the behaviors induced by arginine vasopressin is somewhat reminiscent of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in humans. The present experiments were carried out to test whether pharmacological agents used to alleviate obsessive compulsive disorder could inhibit arginine vasopressin-induced flank marking and grooming. RESULTS: Male golden hamsters were treated daily for two weeks with either vehicle, fluoxetine, clomipramine, or desipramine (an ineffective drug), before being tested for arginine vasopressin-induced flank marking and grooming. Flank marking was significantly inhibited in animals treated with fluoxetine or clomipramine but unaffected by treatment with desipramine. Grooming behavior was not affected by any treatment. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that arginine vasopressin-induced flank marking may serve as an animal model for screening drugs used in the control of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

The alpha(2a)-adrenergic receptor plays a protective role in mouse behavioral models of depression and anxiety.

The noradrenergic system is involved in the regulation of many physiological and psychological processes, including the modulation of mood. The alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors (alpha(2)-ARs) modulate norepinephrine release, as well as the release of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and are therefore potential targets for antidepressant and anxiolytic drug development. The current studies were undertaken to examine the role of the alpha(2A) subtype of alpha(2)-AR in mouse behavioral models of depression and anxiety. We have observed that the genetic knock-out of the alpha(2A)-AR makes mice less active in a modified version of Porsolt's forced swim test and insensitive to the antidepressant effects of the tricyclic drug imipramine in this paradigm. Furthermore, alpha(2A)-AR knock-out mice appear more anxious than wild-type C57 Bl/6 mice in the rearing and light-dark models of anxiety after injection stress. These findings suggest that the alpha(2A)-AR may play a protective role in some forms of depression and anxiety and that the antidepressant effects of imipramine may be mediated by the alpha(2A)-AR.
