Abstract for WE02-04 should read: WE02-04 GLUCOCORTICOID SUPPRESSES BDNF-TRIGGERED GLUTAMATE RELEASE VIA DECREASING INTERACTION BETWEEN GLUCOCORTICOID RECEPTOR AND TRKB Numakawa T., Adachi N., Kumamaru E., Yagasaki Y., Izumi A. and Kunugi H. Department of Mental Disorder Research, National Institute of Neuroscience, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, Tokyo 187-8502, Japan Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF, is critical for synaptic plasticity in the CNS. Many reports indicate a decrease of BDNF expression in brain tissue from patients with mental disorders, including major depression, suggesting possible involvement of change of expression/function of BDNF in the pathophysiology. Glucocorticoids, stress-induced steroid hormones, may also contribute to the pathophysiology. Therefore, we investigated possible interaction between glucocorticoids- and BDNF-mediated functions in cortical neurons, and found the interaction of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) with TrkB (receptor for BDNF). The TrkB-GR interaction has a role in the BDNF-induced release of glutamate, an, excitatory neurotransmitter (Numakawa et al.PNAS. (2009) 106, 647-652). It was revealed that the BDNF-induced glutamate release was suppressed through reduction in the TrkB-GR interaction due to GR downregulation after glucocorticoids exposure. Thus, we are investigating the recovery effect of beneficial conditions, including co-application with other growth factors, from the inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on BDNF action.
