Many studies suggest that antidepressants act as neuroprotective agents in the central nervous system (CNS), though the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we examined the effect of SA4503, which is a sigma-1 receptor agonist and a novel antidepressant candidate, on oxidative stress-induced cell death in cultured cortical neurons. Exposure of the neurons to H(2)O(2) induced cell death, while pretreatment with SA4503 inhibited neuronal cell death. The SA4503-dependent survival effect was reversed by co-application with BD1047 (an antagonist of sigma-1/2 receptors). Previously we found that H(2)O(2) triggers a series of events including over-activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) and intracellular Ca(2+) accumulation via voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and ionotropic glutamate receptors, resulting in neuronal cell death (Numakawa et al. (2007) [20]). Importantly, we found in this study that SA4503 reduced the activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway and down-regulated the ionotropic glutamate receptor, GluR1. Taking these findings together, it is possible that SA4503 blocks neuronal cell death via repressing activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway and, consequently, expression levels of glutamate receptors.
