Both serotonergic dysfunction and glucocorticoid hypersecretion are implicated in affective and eating disorders. The adverse effects of serotonergic (5-HT)2C receptor activation on mood and food intake, the antidepressant efficacy of 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, and the hyperphagia observed in 5-HT2Creceptor knockout mice all suggest a key role for increased 5-HT2C receptor-mediated neurotransmission. Glucocorticoids, however, downregulate 5-HT2Creceptor mRNA in the hippocampus, and it is unclear how increased 5-HT2C receptor sensitivity is achieved in the presence of elevated glucocorticoid levels in depression. Here we show a monophasic diurnal rhythm of 5-HT2C receptor mRNA expression in the rat hippocampus that parallels time-dependent variations in 5-HT2C receptor agonist-induced behaviors in open field tests. Rats entrained to chronic food restriction show marked but intermittent corticosterone hypersecretion and maintain an unaltered 5-HT2C receptor mRNA rhythm. The 5-HT2Creceptor mRNA rhythm, however, is suppressed by even modest constant elevations of corticosterone (adrenalectomy + pellet) or with elevated corticosterone during the daytime (8 A.M.), whereas a normal rhythm exists in animals that have the same dose of corticosterone in the evening (6 P.M.). Thus, animals showing even a transient daytime corticosterone nadir exhibit normal hippocampal 5-HT2Creceptor mRNA rhythms, even in the presence of overt corticosterone hypersecretion. Chronic food restriction also abolishes the normal diurnal variation in hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor mRNAs and produces, unusually, both elevated corticosterone and increased GR. The mismatch between elevated glucocorticoids and maintained 5-HT2C receptor and increased GR gene expression in the hippocampus provides a new model to dissect mechanisms that may underlie affective and eating disorders.
