摘要

Alterations in serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine, 5-HT), norepineph- rine, and γ-aminobutyric acid have been linked to the pathophys- iology of anxiety and depression. and medications that modulate these neurotransmitters are widely used to treat mood disorders. Recently, the neuropeptide substance P (SP) and its receptor, the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), have been proposed as possible targets for new antidepressant and anxiolytic therapies. However. animal and human studies have so far failed to provide a dear consensus on the role of SP in the modulation of emotional states. Here we show that both genetic disruption and acute pharmaco- logical blockade of the NK1R in mice result in a marked reduction of anxiety and stress-related responses. These behavioral changes are paralleled by an increase in the firing rate of 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus, a major source of serotonergic input to the forebrain. NK1R disruption also results in a selective desensi- tization of 5-HT1A inhibitory autoreceptors, which resembles the effect of sustained antidepressant treatment. Together these re- sults indicate that the SP system powerfully modulates anxiety and suggest that this effect is at least in part mediated by changes in the 5-HT system.
