Title

Delineation of molecular pathway activities of the chronic antidepressant treatment response suggests important roles for glutamatergic and ubiquitin-proteasome systems

Overall design

The aim of this study was to identify molecular pathways related to antidepressant response. Paroxetine was administered to the DBA/2J mice for 28 days. Following the treatment, the mice were grouped into responders or non-responders depending on the time they spent immobile in the forced swim test. Paroxetine-treated long-time floating (PLF) and paroxetine-treated short-time floating (PSF) groups were stratified as proxies for drug non-responder and responder mice, respectively. Hippocampus and prefrontal cortex metabolites were extracted and analyzed with targeted metabolomics. Mice were divided into 2 groups: (1) control group, (2) paroxetine group (paroxetine treatment at the dose of 5 mg/kg for 4 weeks twice a day via customized palatable pellets). Paroxetine group were divided into responder (short-time floating, PSF) and non-responder (long-time floating, PLF) mice according to their forced swim test floating time. Five samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
