The effect of antidepressant drugs on tumor progress is very poorly recognized. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of individual reactivity to stress and 24-day desipramine (DES) administration on the metastatic colonization of adenocarcinoma MADB 106 cells in the lungs of Wistar rats. Wistar rats were subjected to stress procedure according to the chronic mild stress (CMS) model of depression for two weeks and stress highly-sensitive (SHS) and stress non-reactive (SNR) rats were selected. SHS rats were more prone to cancer metastasis than SNR ones and chronic DES treatment further increased the number of lung metastases by 59% and 50% in comparison to vehicle-treated appropriate control rats. The increase in lung metastases was connected with DES-induced skew macrophage activity towards M2 functional phenotype in SHS and SNR rats. Moreover, during 24h after DES injection in healthy rats, the decreased number of TCD8+ and B cells in SHS and SNR rats as well as NK cell cytotoxic activity in SNR rats could be attributed to the lowered capacity to defend against cancer metastasis observed in chronic DES treated and tumor injected rats.
