- W972666531 abstract "Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic pathology characterized by brain hypotrophy and severe cognitive disability. Although defective neurogenesis is an important determinant of cognitive impairment, a severe dendritic pathology appears to be an equally important factor. It is well established that serotonin plays a pivotal role both on neurogenesis and dendritic maturation. Since the serotonergic system is profoundly altered in the DS brain, we wondered whether defects in the hippocampal development can be rescued by treatment with fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a widely used antidepressant drug. A previous study of our group showed that fluoxetine fully restores neurogenesis in the Ts65Dn mouse model of DS and that this effect is accompanied by a recovery of memory functions. The goal of the current study was to establish whether fluoxetine also restores dendritic development and maturation. In mice aged 45 days, treated with fluoxetine in the postnatal period P3-P15, we examined the dendritic arbor of newborn and mature granule cells of the dentate gyrus (DG). The granule cells of trisomic mice had a severely hypotrophic dendritic arbor, fewer spines and a reduced innervation than euploid mice. Treatment with fluoxetine fully restored all these defects. Moreover the impairment of excitatory and inhibitory inputs to CA3 pyramidal neurons was fully normalized in treated trisomic mice, indicating that fluoxetine can rescue functional connectivity between the DG and CA3. The widespread beneficial effects of fluoxetine on the hippocampal formation suggest that early treatment with fluoxetine can be a suitable therapy, possibly usable in humans, to restore the physiology of the hippocampal networks and, hence, memory functions. These findings may open the way for future clinical trials in children and adolescents with DS." @default.
