Chronic treatment of selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) including fluoxetine increases adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Among 14 subtypes of 5-HT receptors, pharmacological effects of 5-HT4 receptor (5-HT4R) on antidepressant-like behaviors and neurogenic actions of the DG have been suggested. However, the contribution of 5-HT4R signaling to the enhanced adult neurogenesis by chronic SSRI treatment has not fully understood. Using 5-HT4R deficient (5-HT4R KO) mice of C57BL/6-background, we found that the 5-HT4R plays an important role in the neurogenesis enhanced by chronic fluoxetine treatment in the DG. The chronic fluoxetine treatment significantly increased the cell proliferation and the number of immature neurons in the DG of wild-type mice, while no significant change was observed in the DG of 5-HT4R KO mice. In contrast, after an injection of fluoxetine, basal 5-HT content and extracellular 5-HT accumulation in the hippocampus were not different between wild-type and 5-HT4R KO mice. The expression of 5-HT4Rs in the DG were mainly detected in mature granule neurons, but not in proliferating cells, suggesting that the 5-HT4R in mature granule neurons mediates proliferating signals to neural progenitor cells. These results suggest the importance of 5-HT4R in the responses of chronic fluoxetine treatment in the DG. Our results lead to a molecular understanding of the enhanced serotonergic signaling in the regulatory mechanism of the adult neurogenesis.
