چکیده انگلیسی
The aim of the present study was to investigate the modulation of locus coeruleus neurons by the selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor citalopram using single-unit extracellular recordings in rat brain slices. Citalopram inhibited the activity of a subpopulation of locus coeruleus neurons; thus 10 μM citalopram inhibited neurons by 53 ± 17% (5 out of 15 cells), whereas the inhibition due to 100 μM was 64 ± 4% (32 out of 42 cells). This effect was partially reversed (47 ± 11%) by the α2-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (10 μM), whereas it was unaffected by antagonists for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3 receptors, and μ opioid receptors. 5-HT (50 or 200 μM), the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (±)-8-hydroxy-2-(DI-n-propyl-amino) tetralin hydrobromide, 10 μM) and the 5-HT2 receptor agonist DOI ([±]-2,5-dimetoxy-4-iodoamphetamine) hydrochloride, 10 or 30 μM) also inhibited a subpopulation of locus coeruleus cells. In addition, citalopram but not 5-HT, enhanced by 1.7 fold the inhibitory effect of noradrenaline. Long-term treatment with citalopram (20 mg/kg/day) did not modify the effect of noradrenaline and bromoxidine. Taken together, our results indicate that citalopram exerts an inhibitory effect on locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons. α2-adrenoceptor activation may underlie this effect as a result of elevated levels of noradrenaline in the synaptic cleft.
