The effects of the antidepressant drugs clomipramine (CLOM), desipramine (DMI), tianeptine (TIAN) and of norfluoxetine (NORF, the active metabolite of fluoxetine), were investigated in CHO cells expressing human beta2 adrenoceptors and a secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) reporter gene to determine their actions on cyclic AMP-driven gene transcription. After 18 h of exposure, CLOM, DMI and NORF, but not TIAN, had biphasic effects on 1 microM isoprenaline-stimulated SPAP fsproduction with concentrations between 10 nM and 1 microM enhancing the maximal (E(max)) SPAP response, without changing EC50 values, but higher concentrations produced marked inhibitory effects. At nanomolar concentrations, CLOM and DMI increased expression of phospho-CREB (cyclic AMP response element binding protein). NORF was less effective but did significantly increase phospho-CREB at a concentration of 200 nM. TIAN had no effect. None of the antidepressants had any effect on CREB expression, nor on the accumulation of cyclic AMP. After prolonged exposure (7-21 days) to a low concentration (200 nM) of the antidepressants, the enhanced E(max) values for SPAP production evident after 18 h were not maintained but CLOM and DMI induced a significant leftward shift in the isoprenaline EC50 after a 7-day period of treatment and this was sustained at the 21 day time point. TIAN did not produce any significant changes. The results demonstrate that, in vitro, some but not all antidepressants can modify gene transcription via monoamine and cyclic AMP-independent mechanisms. The in vivo adaptive responses to TIAN probably involve alterations in different gene sets to those affected by other antidepressants.
