Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I examined the effect of amitriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant) on the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling in glia. We reported that the amitriptyline-induced FGF signaling activation following glial cell line derived-neurotrophic factor production is occurred by Gi/o activation (Hisaoka-Nakashima K et al., J Biol Chem 290(22): 13678-13691, 2015). Furthermore, we reported that amitriptyline increases FGF2 mRNA expression through EGR1 production in rat primary cultured astrocytes (Kajitani N et al., J Neurochem 135 (1): 27-37, 2015).
