Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (mouse430a2)
Description
The dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is one of major targets for antidepressant treatments. Using electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS), a model of highly effective and fast-acting antidepressant therapy, here we show that neural stimulation via ECS induces rapid and lasting dematuration of granule neurons in DG. A single time of stimulation transiently reduced mature marker expression and mature synaptic functions. Repetitive stimulation converted this transient dematuration into a stable form lasting more than 1 month. We compared the activity-dependent neuronal responsiveness in the DG between a single ECS and repeated ECS.

Description
The dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is one of major targets for antidepressant treatments. Our recent research has revealed that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment causes a long-lasting change in the phenotypes of mature dentate granule neurons to immature state in adult mouse DG. However, it is unknown whether this dematuration of DG is a common effect of antidepressant treatments and what mechanisms underlie it. Using electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS), a model of highly effective and fast-acting antidepressant therapy, here we show that neural stimulation via ECS induces rapid and lasting dematuration of granule neurons in DG. A single or few times of stimulation transiently reduced mature marker expression and mature synaptic functions. Repetitive stimulation converted this transient dematuration into a stable form lasting more than 1 month. Dematured granule neurons showed higher excitability, and an increase in GABA-mediated inhibition by the benzodiazepine diazepam prevented the lasting maintenance phase of dematuration without affecting the initial induction phase. Our study suggests that dematuration of DG is a common cellular mechanism underlying effects of different types of antidepressant treatments, and demonstrate a novel role for excitation/inhibition balance in bidirectional regulation of the state of neuronal maturation in the adult brain.

Description
Rationale Electroconvulsive seizure (ECS) therapy is a nonchemical treatment for depression. Since ECS up-regulates expression of c-Fos in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), the function of which is frequently influenced in depression, we hypothesized that ECS modulates functions of the PVN and contributes to its antidepressant effects. Objectives To identify gene expression changes in the mouse PVN by ECS treatment Material and methods First, we established a method to amplify nucleotides from small quantities of RNA. Mice received one shock of ECS and their brains were collected at 2 or 6 h after shock. The PVN was microdissected from dehydrated brain sections, its total RNA was extracted and microarray analysis was applied. Results At 2 h after ECS, 2.6% (589 genes) of the probes showed more than 2-fold decrease, and 0.9% (205 genes) showed more than 2-fold increase. To confirm the expression changes, genes showing differential expression with a wide range in the microarray were analyzed by qPCR. Among the genes with more than 2-fold change by ECS, down-regulated 94 genes and up-regulated 24 genes have been reported the association with anxiety, bipolar disorder or mood disorder by the Ingenuity knowledge database. The groups of down-regulated genes, which are suggested to modulate the function of the PVN or associate to psychiatric disorders, include neuropeptides (Cck), kinases (Prkcb, Prkcc, Camk2a), transcription factors (Bcl6, Tbr1), transporters (Aqp4) and others (Fmr1). Conclusion The present results indicate that ECS treatment can modulate the functions of PVN via a series of gene expression changes, and may contribute to its antidepressant effects at least in part.

Description
Recent studies have highlighted the role of adrenal corticosteroid signaling in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. It is known that glucocorticoids and aldosterone are able to bind glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), and these ligand-receptor interactions are redundant. Therefore, it has been impossible to delineate how these nuclear receptors couple with corticosteroid ligands and differentially regulate gene expression for operation of their distinct functions in the heart.
