Romano, A.C.D. Participation BDNF-TrkB-mTOR pathway prefrontal medial ventral cortex in antidepressant-like effect induced by inhibitors of DNA methylation. 49 p. 2014. Dissertation (Masters). Faculdade de Ciencias Farmaceuticas de Ribeirao Preto. 2014. Recent studies indicate that changes in gene transcription induced by stress or antidepressant drugs appear to involve epigenetic mechanisms. Accordingly, results of our research group pioneered indicated global inhibition of DNA methylation through systemic administration of an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase (DNMTs), 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AzaD), induces antidepressant-like effect dose-dependent in the animal model of forced swimming in rats (Sales et al., 2011). The ventral medial prefrontal (vmPFC) cortex is a limbic structure closely related to the neurobiology of depression. Recent evidence indicates that the antidepressant-like effect appears associated with increased levels BDNF (Brain derived neurotrophic factor) and its receptor TrkB in vmPFC, and intracellular signaling mediated by activation of protein mTOR. However, there is no evidence that these molecular mechanisms are involved in the effects induced by inhibitors of DNA methylation. It is known, however, both as BDNF and TrkB expression is regulated by DNA methylation. Thus, the goal of this work is to investigate the role of BDNF-TRkB pathway mTOR-vmPFC in the antidepressant effect induced by inhibitors of DNA methylation. To this end, rats treated with inhibitors of DNA methylation (5-Azad or RG-108), at two different times (immediately after 23hours after the PT and PT) were subjected to the forced swim test (FST). Another group received an intravmPFC injection of K252a or Rapamycin 40 minutes before the test, and an injection intra-vmPFC of BDNF 30 minutes before the test. In another experiment, separate groups undergoing the forced swim were treated systemically with RG-108 and received intra-vmPFC of K252a (Trk antagonist) or injection of rapamycin (m-Tor inhibitors) in order to investigate the effect these drugs depends on BDNF-TrkB-mTOR pathway in vmPFC. A separate group was treated with RG108 and mPFC these animals were dissected for analysis of the expression of BDNF and TrkB m-TOR, as well as DNA methylation. The systemic treatment whit 5azaD and RG108 reduced the immobility time of rats subjected to FST administration in both time. The intra-vmPFC BDNF administration promoted antidepressant effect in the FST, and this effect was blocked by the administration of K252a or Rapamycin in vmPFC. Similarly, the antidepressant effect of systemic RG108 was blocked by intravmPFC of K252a or Rapamycin administration. However, the measurement of the levels of global methylation in CPFMv did not change as treatment with RG108, and also showed no change in the levels of BDNF present in the CPF. Treatment with RG108 did not alter the expression and activation of TrkB and mTOR. We conclude that inhibitors of DNA methylation present acutely antidepressantlike effect, it needs the full functionality of the BDNF-TrkB-mTOR pathway. However, this effect seems not to alter the synthesis and expression of proteins involved in this pathway at vmPFC.
