However, no in vitro serotonergic culture systems have successfully analyzed the long-term effects of psychotropics or the neural interaction between serotonergic and excitatory/inhibitory neurons. Recently, we have established rat organotypic raphe slice cultures, which have functional serotonergic neurons with the ability to release 5-HT in response to stimulation and to reuptake 5-HT through serotonin transporter and retain neural and synaptic functions. Here, we show the following results in the raphe slice cultures: 1) acute and sustained treatments with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine induce the 5-HT efflux via serotonin transporter and AMPA receptor-mediated exocytotic 5-HT release, respectively; 2) sustained treatment with antidepressants enhances the exocytotic 5-HT release, which is dependent on AMPA receptor stimulation, but not on desensitization of 5-HT(1A/1B) autoreceptors; 3) the augmentation therapy of an atypical antipsychotic, olanzapine, with antidepressants is caused by the decrease in the raphe inhibitory GABAergic tone through 5-HT6 receptor antagonism. Our findings suggest that the raphe slice cultures are suitable for analyzing the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying the efficacy of psychotropics in vitro.</p>","PeriodicalId":19250,"journal":{"name":"Nihon shinkei seishin yakurigaku zasshi = Japanese journal of psychopharmacology","volume":"35 2","pages":"39-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33345647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging lines of evidence indicate the pivotal role of spinal glial cells in neuropathic pain. Spinal microglia rapidly respond to peripheral nerve injury (PNI) and become activated with changing expression of a variety of genes. The best known example is purinergic P2X4 receptors, an ATP-gated cation channel. The expression of P2X4 receptors is upregulated in spinal microglia after PNI, and inhibition of P2X4 activity suppresses neuropathic pain. Furthermore, interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8) and IRF5 are identified as microglial transcription factors whose expression is upregulated in spinal microglia after PNI, and the IRF8-IRF5 transcriptional cascade is the core process for shifting spinal microglia toward a state with high expression of P2X4 receptors. Astrocytes in the spinal cord show a delayed onset of activation and play an important role in the maintenance of neuropathic pain via the transcription factor STAT3 and the intracellular kinase JNK. These results obtained from glial cell research will advance our understanding of the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain and provide a new target for treating this pain.</p>","PeriodicalId":19250,"journal":{"name":"Nihon shinkei seishin yakurigaku zasshi = Japanese journal of psychopharmacology","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33167198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
