比较不同类型抗抑郁剂对新生大鼠神经细胞内游离Ca2+浓度的影响

The ability of antidepressant drugs to increase the concentration of intracellular Ca²⁺(［Ca²⁺］_i) was examined in dispersed brain cells from neonatal rat cortex and hippocampus using the Ca²⁺ sensitive fluorescent indicator Fura-2. Desipramine (DIM 0.1-1.0 mmol·L^-1) increased ［Ca²⁺］_i in a concentration-dependent manner. DIM (1.0 mmol·L^-1) and fluoxetine (1.0 mmol·L^-1) induced ［Ca²⁺］
_i increases were not altered by the absence of external Ca²⁺ or by the presence of nimodipine (10 μmol·L^-1). Pretreatment with neomycin (10 mmol·L^-1), an inhibitor of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production, significantly inhibited DIM-induced ［Ca²⁺］_i increase but could not effectively inhibit fluoxetine-induced ［Ca²⁺］_i increase. Pretreatment with dantrolene (0.05 mmol·L^-1), an exhaustor of Ca²⁺ store, inhibited fluoxetineinduced ［Ca²⁺］_i increase, suggesting that DIM and fluoxetine provoke intracellular Ca²⁺ mobilization. In addition, fluoxetine-induced ［Ca²⁺］_i increase was about 1.5 times higher than that induced by DIM at the same concentration (0.4 mmol·L^-1). Moclobemide, an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A, did not affect ［Ca²⁺］_i. It is concluded that DIM and fluoxetine may be Ca²⁺ mobilizing agents.
