Depression is the most common mental illness. Mounting evidence suggests that dysregulation of extracellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is involved in the pathophysiology of depression. However, the cellular and neural circuit mechanisms through which ATP modulates depressive-like behavior remain elusive. By use of ex vivo slice electrophysiology, chemogenetic manipulations, RNA interference, gene knockout, behavioral testing, and two depression mouse models, one induced by chronic social defeat stress and one caused by a IP3R2-null mutation, we systematically investigated the cellular and neural circuit mechanisms underlying ATP deficiency-induced depressive-like behavior. Deficiency of extracellular ATP in both defeated susceptible mice and IP3R2-null mutation mice led to reduced GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric acidergic) inhibition and elevated excitability in lateral habenula-projecting, but not dorsal raphe-projecting, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurons. Furthermore, the P2X2 receptor in GABAergic interneurons mediated ATP modulation of lateral habenula-projecting mPFC neurons and depressive-like behavior. Remarkably, chemogenetic activation of the mPFC-lateral habenula pathway induced depressive-like behavior in C57BL/6J mice, while inhibition of this pathway was sufficient to alleviate the behavioral impairment in both defeated susceptible and IP3R2-null mutant mice. Overall, our study provides compelling evidence that ATP level in the mPFC is critically involved in regulating depressive-like behavior in a pathway-specific manner. These results shed new light on the mechanisms underlying depression and the antidepressant effect of ATP.

D018345 Mice, Knockout Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.
