BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of signaling pathways on the creatine antidepressant-like effect in the tail suspension test (TST) in mice. METHODS: The TST was used to assess the antidepressant-like properties of creatine. RESULTS: The anti-immobility effect of creatine (1mg/kg, p.o.) in the TST was blocked by i.c.v. pretreatment with H-89 (1μg/site, PKA inhibitor), KN-62 (1μg/site, CAMK-II inhibitor), chelerythrine (1μg/site, PKC inhibitor), U0126 (5μg/site, MEK1/2 inhibitor) or PD09058 (5μg/site, MEK1/2 inhibitor). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the antidepressant-like effect of creatine is dependent on PKA, CaMK-II, PKC and MEK 1/2 activation.
