摘要

BACKGROUND: Animal studies have found that many antidepressants induce decreases in both the density and the functional activity of the serotonin 2A (5-HT(2A)) receptor subtype. However, the extrapolation of findings to humans has been inconclusive. A physiological platelet response mediated by this receptor, the serotonin-amplified platelet aggregation, was measured to study whether long-term antidepressant treatment induces changes in 5-HT(2A) receptor functioning in endogenous depressed patients. METHOD: The percentage of serotonin-amplified platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was studied in 15 untreated patients with major depressive disorder (DSM-IV) with endogenous features (Newcastle scale). This index was used as an indirect measurement of the functional status of platelet 5-HT(2A) receptors. Aggregation studies were repeated once remission of the symptoms was achieved during treatment with imipramine (150-300 mg/day). A group of 15 concurrent normal subjects was used as a control. RESULTS: A statistically significant decrease (p = 0.038) in the percentage of serotonin-amplified platelet aggregation to ADP was observed when remission was achieved (after 145 +/- 27 days). CONCLUSIONS: The results showed a decrease in a platelet functional response mediated by 5-HT(2A) receptors following effective imipramine treatment, suggesting that desensitization or down-regulation of the 5-HT(2A) receptor function could be linked to the therapeutic effect of some antidepressants. The data also support the use of platelet aggregometry as a surrogate measurement of antidepressant action, particularly in intra-subject designs.
