Serotonin-reuptake inhibitors act centrally to cause bone loss in mice by counteracting a local anti-resorptive effect

Abstract: The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has been associated with an increased risk of bone fracture, raising concerns about their increasingly broader usage. This deleterious effect is poorly understood and thus strategies to avoid this side effect remain elusive. We show here that fluoxetine (Flx), one of the most prescribed SSRI, acts on bone remodeling through two distinct mechanisms. Peripherally, Flx has antiresorptive properties, directly impairing osteoclast differentiation and functi… Show more

“…RIS antagonizes several serotonin receptors including Htr2c, which has been implicated in suppression of SNS-output to bone [29]. Downregulation of this receptor in the hypothalamus has also recently been shown to play a significant role in bone loss in response to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetene [30]. Thus, inhibition of hypothalamic Htr2c signaling may be a common mechanism for bone changes in response to both RIS and SSRIs.…”

“…This is in contrast to our previous results in vivo FLX exposure increased mammary gland cAMP concentrations on day 10 of lactation, after approximately 14 days of treatment with FLX (20). It is possible that duration and timing of treatment (acute vs. chronic) with these compounds can result in different effects on the mammary gland or other tissues, which we and other have previously shown (48,56). Interestingly, in the human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, a similar observation was found regarding decrease in cAMP with an increase in 5HT and a switch from growth inhibition to stimulation was attributed to the altered cAMP dynamics (57).…”
