Regulation of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Neuronal Systems and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity by Stress and Chronic Antidepressant Treatment
Abstract
In a series of experiments, we tested the hypothesis that chronic antidepressant drug administration reduces the synaptic availability of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) through one or more effects on CRF gene expression or peptide synthesis. We also determined whether effects of acute or chronic stress on CRF gene expression or peptide concentration are influenced by antidepressant drug treatment. Four-week treatment with venlafaxine, a dual serotonin (5-HT)/norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitor, and tranylcypromine, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, resulted in an attenuation of acute stress-induced increases in CRF heteronuclear RNA (hnRNA) synthesis in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Trends toward the same effect were observed after treatment with the 5-HT reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine, or the NE reuptake inhibitor reboxetine. CRF mRNA accumulation in the PVN during exposure to chronic variable stress was attenuated by concurrent antidepressant administration. Basal CRF hnRNA and mRNA expression were not affected by antidepressant treatment in the PVN or in other brain regions examined. Chronic stress reduced CRF concentrations in the median eminence, but there were no consistent effects of antidepressant drug treatment on CRF, serum corticotropin, or corticosterone concentrations. CRF receptor expression and basal and stress-stimulated HPA axis activity were unchanged after antidepressant administration. These results suggest that chronic antidepressant administration diminishes the sensitivity of CRF neurons to stress rather than alters their basal activity. Additional studies are required to elucidate the functional consequences and mechanisms of this interaction.

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.
