| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I examined the hypothesis that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in brain astrocytes plays a role as one of the molecular basis of refractory of major depressive disorder. In vitro study, I identified lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) as an important receptor for the antidepressant-induced GDNF production in astrocytes. In vivo study, I revealed that chronic antidepressant treatment-induced behavioral effect was blocked by co-administration with LPA1 inhibitor and its effect was not observed in LPA1 hetero KO mice. I also found that expression of GDNF in the striatum and hippocampus might be important for the behavioral effect of antidepressant.
