- Abstract
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a devastating disease that arises in a background of environmental risk factors, such as chronic stress, that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain. The chronic stress-induced ROS production involves Ca2+ signals; however, the mechanism is poorly understood. Transient receptor potential melastatin type 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca2+-permeable cation channel that is highly expressed in the brain. Here we show that in animal models of chronic unpredictable stress (CUS), deletion of TRPM2 (Trpm2(-/-)) produces antidepressant-like behaviors in mice. This phenotype correlates with reduced ROS, ROS-induced calpain activation, and enhanced phosphorylation of two Cdk5 targets including synapsin 1 and histone deacetylase 5 that are linked to synaptic function and gene expression, respectively. Moreover, TRPM2 mRNA expression is increased in hippocampal tissue samples from patients with MDD. Our findings suggest that TRPM2 is a key agent in stress-induced depression and a possible target for treating depression.
