The serotonergic dorsal raphé nucleus (DRN) expresses glucocorticoid receptors (GR), and systemic glucocorticoids have been shown to regulate expression and activity of tryptophan hydroxylase isoform 2, the rate-limiting enzyme for serotonin synthesis in brain. We have used intra-DRN injection of pseudotyped adeno-associated virus AAV2/9 transducing either green fluorescent protein (GFP control) or Cre recombinase (DRN GR deletion) in floxed GR mice to determine if DRN GR directly regulate DRN mRNA levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (tph2). In a separate set of similarly-treated floxed GR mice, we also measured limbic forebrain region concentrations of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) and its major metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). DRN GR deletion increased tph2 mRNA levels in the dorsal, lateral wing, and caudal parts of the DRN without altering tissue concentrations of 5-HT, 5-HIAA, or the 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio in limbic forebrain regions. We conclude that DRN GR inhibit DRN tph2 gene expression in mice without marked effects on serotonin metabolism, at least under basal conditions at the circadian nadir. These data provide the first evidence of localized control of DRN tph2 mRNA expression by DRN GR in mice.
