Inhibition of glial inflammatory activation and neurotoxicity by tricyclic antidepressants
Abstract
Glial activation and neuroinflammatory processes play an important role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and HIV dementia. Activated glial cells can secrete various proinflammatory cytokines and neurotoxic mediators, which may contribute to neuronal cell death. Inhibition of glial activation may alleviate neurodegeneration under these conditions. In the present study, the antiinflammatory and neuroprotective effects of tricyclic antidepressants were investigated using cultured brain cells as a model. The results showed that clomipramine and imipramine significantly decreased the production of nitric oxide or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in microglia and astrocyte cultures. Clomipramine and imipramine also attenuated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta and TNF-alpha at mRNA levels. In addition, clomipramine and imipramine inhibited IkappaB degradation, nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB, and phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia cells. Moreover, clomipramine and imipramine were neuroprotective as the drugs reduced microglia-mediated neuroblastoma cell death in a microglia/neuron co-culture. Therefore, these results imply that clomipramine and imipramine have antiinflammatory and neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system by modulating glial activation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
