Interferon-α-induced serotonin uptake in Jurkat T cells via mitogen-activated protein kinase and transcriptional regulation of the serotonin transporter

Abstract: Interferon (IFN)-alpha upregulates serotonin (5-HT) uptake and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression in immune cells, which implies the mechanism underlying IFN-alpha-induced depression. However, the signal transduction of this effect remains unclear. We investigated whether the effects of IFN-alpha on the functions of 5-HTT were related to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). By performing Western blotting, real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and … Show more

“…Previous studies have found a significant association between other inflammatory markers (that we did not explore), including IFN α, γ and 5-HTT in animal models (Katafuchi et al, 2006;Morikawa et al, 1998;Tsao et al, 2008).…”

“…This potential link is supported by findings from preclinical studies in rodent models that directly link proinflammatory cytokines with brain 5-HTT availability through activation of MAPK pathways (Baganz and Blakely, 2013;Couch et al, 2013;Katafuchi et al, 2006;Malynn et al, 2013;Morikawa et al, 1998;Ramamoorthy et al, 1995;Samuvel, 2005;Tsao et al, 2008).…”

“…Third, BDNF and inflammatory cytokines both influence serotonin transporter transcription and function (Mossner et al, 2000;Mossner et al, 1998;Zhu et al, 2006;Zhu et al, 2010). IFN-a increases serotonin transporter transcription via the MAP kinase intracellular signaling pathway (Tsao et al, 2008), and both BDNF and inflammatory cytokines share overlapping intracellular signal transduction pathways including MAP kinases (Duman et al, 2007;Zhu et al, 2010) and NF-kappaB (Kairisalo et al, 2009). Fourth, the BDNF Met allele has been associated with an elevated cortical response to a dexamethasone/corticosterone releasing hormone challenge (Schule et al, 2006), which is notable given that there is a greater cortical response to the initial injection of IFN-a in those at increased risk for subsequent depression (Raison et al, 2008).…”

“…Besides, there is a positive association between the functional effects of 5-HT and the increase in the level of IL-6. Furthermore, evidence shows that expression and function of 5-HTT is elevated as a response to IL-6 cytokine [91] [92] [93] [94].…”
