Yamada, M. et al.

Induction of cysteine string protein after chronic antidepressant treatment in rat frontal cortex.

We have previously identified 204 partial cDNA fragments (ADRG1-204) as antidepressant related genes/expressed sequence tags. Then, we developed our original cDNA microarrays, on which the 194 clones out of ADRG1-204 were spotted. With this ADRG microarray, we found that the expression of a spot, ADRG55, which representing cysteine string protein (CSP), was significantly increased in rat brain after chronic treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, sertraline. In the present study, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed the induction of CSP at mRNA levels in rat frontal cortex after chronic treatment with two different classes of antidepressants, imipramine or sertraline. Western blot analysis also revealed that CSP-immunoreactivity was increased after antidepressant treatment. In conclusion, our data suggest that CSP is one of the common functional molecules induced after chronic antidepressant treatment.[1]
