Effects of imipramine and sertraline on protein kinase activity in rat frontal cortex. 1998

Three-week administration of sertraline or imipramine to rats (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, twice a day) increased ex vivo cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in the soluble but not in the particulate fraction of the frontal cortex. However, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity was not affected in either fraction of the parietotemporal cortex and hippocampus. Neither antidepressant altered protein kinase C activity in the soluble and particulate fractions or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activity in the frontal cortex. Therefore, sertraline and imipramine both selectively enhance cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in the frontal cortex. This enhancement might be involved in their biochemical mechanisms.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007099	Imipramine	The prototypical tricyclic antidepressant. It has been used in major depression, dysthymia, bipolar depression, attention-deficit disorders, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. It has less sedative effect than some other members of this therapeutic group.

D011493	Protein Kinase C	An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D006624	Hippocampus	A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000929	Antidepressive Agents, Tricyclic	Substances that contain a fused three-ring moiety and are used in the treatment of depression. These drugs block the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into axon terminals and may block some subtypes of serotonin, adrenergic, and histamine receptors. However, the mechanism of their antidepressant effects is not clear because the therapeutic effects usually take weeks to develop and may reflect compensatory changes in the central nervous system.
