Significant number of case reports indicating a causal relation between exposure to (Ro)accutane and various signs of significant depression in acne-subjects
A significant number of case reports describe the associtation between (Ro)accutane exposure and depression in human subjects [1, 2, 3 and more]. Depression may continue in subjects after exposure. Potential targets for retinoid signalling in depression include dopaminergic, serotonergic or noradrenergic pathways or a complex interaction between these neurotransmitter systems [5].
Suggested chemical cause: Significant inhibition of serotonergic activity and sertonerg receptor (5-HT) expression
The expression level of the 5-HT(1A) receptor gene (htr1a) in the central nervous system (CNS) is implicated in the aetiology and treatment of anxiety disorders and depression. In mice, htr1a have revealed that its proximal promoter is GC rich and TATA-less. Several functional transcription factor binding sites, including MAZ and SP1 recognition sequences, have been identified [22].
Suggested chemical cause: Neurosteroids and depression
Suggested chemical cause: Gaba and depression
Suggested chemical cause: Norephinephrine, dopamine and depression
