Antidepressant amitriptyline-induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 activation is mediated by Src family tyrosine kinase, which leads to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA expression in rat astroglial cells.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundAstrocytes have been implicated in the pathophysiology of mood disorders and in the mechanism of the pharmacological effects of antidepressant drugs by the production of neurotrophic/growth factors. Previous studies have identified astrocyte-expressed Gα METHODS AND

resultsTreatment of rat C6 astroglial cells (C6 cells) with amitriptyline increased Src family tyrosine kinase phosphorylation in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Amitriptyline-induced GDNF mRNA expression was blocked by Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In addition, inhibiting Src family tyrosine kinase blocked amitriptyline-induced zymographic MMP-9 activation in C6 cells. The amitriptyline-induced zymographic MMP-9 activity was completely blocked by selective inhibition of Gα

conclusionsThe current findings suggest that the pharmacological effect of antidepressant such as amitriptyline is mediated through an intracellular signaling pathway via the LPAR1/Gα
