Despite being approved for treating bipolar disorder, carbamazepine's (CBZ) mechanism of action is not fully understood. Carbamazepine and lithium, when administered chronically to rats, decrease brain messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), protein, and activity levels of the arachidonic acid-selective cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). The ability of lithium to decrease cPLA2 mRNA was ascribed to its ability to down-regulate the cPLA2 transcription factor, AP-2. The present study was undertaken to see whether chronic CBZ treatment also would down-regulate the AP-2 transcription factor.
