Gene expression profiling of early-activated targets of antidepressants in glia cells


ABSTRACT: The identification of cell-type-specific and early-activated pharmacological targets of antidepressants might help to implement the search for alternative targets to develop drugs with safer side-effect profiles and faster onset of actions. Glia cells are active partners of neurons and blood vessels in supporting a variety of functions such as synaptic communication and blood-brain barrier permeability. Impaired glia cells (astrocytes and microglia cells) characterize postmortem brains of major depressive disorder patients, suggesting that they might be specifically modulated by pharmacological treatments to reverse disease phenotypes. Here, we have treated rat C6 glioma cells, used as a model of astrocytes, with two different classes of antidepressants (desipramine and fluoxetine) and two drugs without antidepressant properties (haloperidol and diazepam) to compare transcriptomes of glia cells after treatment with antidepressants versus drugs without antidepressant properties. To this aim, we used microarrays to detail the global early-activated cell-type-specific gene expression program and identified multiple classes of genes selectively modulated by antidepressants in astrocytes.
