Decreased connexin43 expression in the hippocampus is related to the antidepressant effect of amitriptyline in neuropathic pain mice

Downregulation of astrocytic connexin43 (Cx43) has been observed in several brain regions in rodents and patients with depression. However, its specific role in this effect remains unknown. Moreover, chronic pain can induce depressive disorders. Therefore, the current study examined the relationship between Cx43 expression and depressive-like behavior in a neuropathic pain model. Neuropathic pain was induced by spared nerve injury (SNI) in mice. Depressive-like behavior was evaluated using the forced swim test. Expression of Cx43 in the hippocampus was evaluated using Western blotting and real-time PCR. SNI downregulated Cx43 protein in the contralateral hippocampus of mice, whereas expression of hippocampal Cx43 mRNA was not altered following SNI. Although SNI mice showed longer immobility time compared with sham mice during the forced swim test, duration of depressive-like behavior was not correlated with the expression of Cx43 in the hippocampus of SNI mice. Repeated intraperitoneal administration of amitriptyline ameliorated SNI-induced depressive-like behavior. Furthermore, the antidepressant effect of amitriptyline was correlated with decreased hippocampal Cx43 expression in SNI mice. The current findings suggest that the alteration of Cx43 expression in the hippocampus may not be involved in the induction of depressive disorder but may influence the efficacy of antidepressants. Therefore, the level of Cx43 expression in the hippocampus could be a key parameter to evaluate individual differences in antidepressant effects in patients with depressive disorder.
