Abstract
In this preclinical pilot study, we used [11C]UCB-J PET imaging to monitor the synaptic modulation in depression and after fluoxetine. PET imaging was performed in a validated mouse model of depression/anxiety (CORT model), and the effect of 5-week treatment with fluoxetine was tested. Depression/anxiety phenotype and antidepressant action of fluoxetine were confirmed using the novelty-suppressed feeding test, previously validated in the CORT model. PET data showed significant decreases of volume of distribution (VT) of [11C]UCB-J in most brain regions of CORT mice compared with controls. After 5 weeks of fluoxetine, a trend toward restoration of VT values to control levels was observed, although it reached significance only in the olfactory bulb. These preliminary data support the use of [11C]UCB-J PET imaging and the CORT model to study the synaptic modulation of antidepressants. It provides excellent translational opportunities to study the relationship between synaptic plasticity and the clinical efficacy of antidepressants.
期刊介绍:
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science publishes high quality, innovative, and impactful research across the broad spectrum of biological sciences, covering basic and molecular sciences through to translational preclinical studies. Clinical studies that address novel mechanisms of action, and methodological papers that provide innovation, and advance translation, will also be considered. We give priority to studies that fully integrate basic pharmacological and/or biochemical findings into physiological processes that have translational potential in a broad range of biomedical disciplines. Therefore, studies that employ a complementary blend of in vitro and in vivo systems are of particular interest to the journal. Nonetheless, all innovative and impactful research that has an articulated translational relevance will be considered.
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science does not publish research on biological extracts that have unknown concentration or unknown chemical composition.
Authors are encouraged to use the pre-submission inquiry mechanism to ensure relevance and appropriateness of research.
