AI Article Synopsis
- Sertraline and clomipramine, two types of antidepressants, were found to inhibit NTPDase activity in rat brain synaptosomes, which are structures that help transmit signals in the brain.
- Sertraline reduced ATP and ADP hydrolysis significantly in both the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, with varying levels of inhibition based on concentration.
- Both antidepressants had no effect on AMP hydrolysis, indicating that they may influence ATP levels in the synaptic cleft, potentially altering brain signal modulation.
Article Abstract
The effects of sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, were tested on ecto-nucleotidases from synaptosomes of cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats. Sertraline and clomipramine (100-500 microM) inhibited NTPDase, but not ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity in both cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In cortical synaptosomes, sertraline inhibited both ATP and ADP hydrolysis in the concentrations tested. The inhibitory effect varied from 21% to 83% for ATP hydrolysis and 48% to 75% for ADP hydrolysis. The inhibition promoted by sertraline in hippocampal synaptosomes varied from 38% to 89% for ATP hydrolysis and 45% to 77% for ADP hydrolysis. A significant inhibition of cortical NTPDase activity by clomipramine was observed in the all concentrations tested (35-72% and 36-87% for ATP and ADP hydrolysis, respectively). Similar effects were observed in hippocampus (29-91% and 48-83% for ATP and ADP hydrolysis, respectively). There was no inhibitory effect of sertraline and clomipramine on AMP hydrolysis in cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Our results have shown that classical antidepressants inhibit the extracellular catabolism of ATP. Therefore, it is possible to suggest that changes induced by antidepressants on bilayer membrane could affect NTPDase activities and consequently, modulating ATP and adenosine levels in the synaptic cleft.

The core component of the actin cytoskeleton is the globular protein G-actin, which reversibly polymerizes into filaments (F-actin). Budding yeast possesses a single actin that shares 87%-89% sequence identity with vertebrate actin isoforms. Previous structural studies indicate very close overlap of main-chain backbones.

The urothelium and lamina propria (LP) contribute to sensations of bladder fullness by releasing multiple mediators, including prostaglandins (PGs) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), that activate or modulate functions of cells throughout the bladder wall. Mediators that are simultaneously released in response to bladder distention likely influence each other's mechanisms of release and action. This study investigated whether PGs could alter the extracellular hydrolysis of ATP by soluble nucleotidases (s-NTDs) released in the LP of nondistended or distended bladders.

Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a hydrolysis product of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). In mammalian cells, extracellular AMP functions as a signaling molecule by binding to adenosine A1 receptors, thereby activating various intracellular signaling pathways. However, the role of extracellular AMP in plant cells remains largely unclear, and homologs of A1 receptors have not been identified.

The F domain of FF-ATP synthases/ATPases (FF) possesses three catalytic sites on the three αβ interfaces, termed αβ, αβ, and αβ, located mainly on the β subunits. The enzyme also has three non-catalytic ATP-binding sites on the three αβ interfaces, located mainly on the α subunits. When ATP does not bind to the non-catalytic site, FF becomes significantly prone to ADP inhibition, ultimately resulting in the loss of ATPase activity.
