Combinatorial targeting of angiogenesis with inducers of autophagy in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme

Malignant gliomas represent 80% of tumors developing in the central nervous system, with 50% being glioblastomas (GBM), the most aggressive form of the disease. The benefit from current therapies is very limited, the overall 5-year survival rate of patient ...

Involvement of the agmatinergic system in the depressive-like phenotype of the Crtc1 knockout mouse model of depression

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-René Cardinaux

Recent studies implicate the arginine-decarboxylation product agmatine in mood regulation. Agmatine has antidepressant properties in rodent models of depression, and agmatinase (Agmat), the agmatine-degrading enzyme, is upregulated in the brains of mood di ...

The HDAC inhibitor SAHA improves depressive-like behavior of CRTC1-deficient mice: Possible relevance for treatment-resistant depression

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-René Cardinaux

Major depression is a highly complex disabling psychiatric disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. Despite the availability of several classes of antidepressants, a substantial percentage of patients are unresponsive to these medications. A better ...

Dual Targeting of the Autophagic Regulatory Circuitry in Gliomas with Repurposed Drugs Elicits Cell-Lethal Autophagy and Therapeutic Benefit

Douglas Hanahan, Aristea Massaras, Ksenya Shchors

The associations of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) with reduced incidence of gliomas and elevated autophagy in glioma cells motivated investigation in mouse models of gliomagenesis. First, we established that imipramine, a TCA, increased autophagy and co ...

Regulation of Neurotrophic Factors and Energy Metabolism by Antidepressants in Astrocytes

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Luc Martin, Igor Allaman

There is growing evidence that astrocytes are involved in the neuropathology of major depression. In particular, decreases in glial cell density observed in the cerebral cortex of individuals with major depressive disorder are accompanied by a reduction of ...

Psychobiological Vulnerability to Stress : Behavioral Traits and Neurobiological Mechanisms

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jorge Eduardo Castro Cifuentes

Several psychobiological factors are associated with vulnerability/resilience to stress-induced depression. Emerging evidence indicates behavioral traits, such as anxiety, can be related to depression-like symptoms after exposure to chronic stress. However ...

A model for the involvement of neural cell adhesion molecules in stress-related mood disorders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

Critical interactions between genetic and environmental factors -- among which stress is one of the most potent non-genomic factors -- are involved in the development of mood disorders. Intensive work during the past decade has led to the proposal of the n ...
