摘要: 尽管锂制剂在临床上使用了几十年,但其确切机制并不清楚。人们通过研究认识到锂可能是通过抑制GSK3而发挥抗抑郁作用的。锂可以调控GSK3下游的许多分子,许多抗抑郁类药物可以调控GSK3的信号。使用药理方法或基因沉默方法抑制GSK3均具有稳定情绪、抵抗抑郁的作用,这些研究表明GSK3可能是抗抑郁的潜在靶点。近些年来对GSK3在神经生物学中的作用机制的研究进一步证实了锂可能是通过作用于GSK3来达到治疗目的的。比如,GSK3可以调节生物体应激反应、炎症反应、神经发生、5-HT传递过程,并参与生物周期节律的调控。因此,特异的GSK3抑制剂能否在临床上发挥抗抑郁作用有待进一步研究。本文将从GSK3在应激反应、炎症反应、神经发生、5-HT传递过程以及生物周期节律这五个方面对抑郁发病机制的研究进展进行综述。

Abstract: Despite many decades of clinical useness, the therapeutic target of lithium remains uncertain.It is recognized that therapeutic concentrations of lithium is to inhibit the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) to treat depression disorder. Specifically, it has been demonstrated that lithium administration regulates multiple GSK3 targets and multiple antidepressant drugs regulate GSK3 signaling. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of GSK3 results in mood stabilizer-like and antidepressant-like behavior in rodent models. These studies implicate that GSK3 is a possible target for treatment of mood disorders. Furthermore, numerous recent studies have provided more complete understanding of the role of GSK3 in diverse neurological processes, strengthening the hypothesis that GSK3 may represent a therapeutically relevant target of lithium. For example, GSK3 is a primary regulator of oxidative stress response. Inflammatory response, neurogenesis, serotonin transmission and circadian rhythms may be involved in GSK3-regulated pathways. In this regard, further study is needed to develop novel specific GSK3 inhibitors for the treatment of depressive disorders. In this article, we will discuss the role of GSK3 in five aspects including oxidative stress response, inflammatory response, neurogenesis, serotonin transmission and circadian rhythms to summary the research progress in pathological mechanisms of depression.
