Abstract
Introduction Postoperative rebound pain after peripheral nerve block increases patient suffering and delays recovery after surgery. Objectives We tested whether the 5HT-3 receptor antagonist and α7nAChR agonist tropisetron could prevent postoperative rebound pain. Methods A total of 115 patients were randomized to receive 5-mg/5-mL tropisetron or the same volume of normal saline. Pain intensity was measured with the numerical rating scale of pain (NRS). Rebound pain was defined as a change from mild pain (NRS ≤ 3) measured in the postanesthesia care unit to severe pain (NRS ≥ 7) within 24 hours after peripheral nerve blockade. Logistic regression was used to identify relevant factors associated with postoperative rebound pain. Results Tropisetron did not affect the NRS score or the incidence of rebound pain after peripheral nerve block. Logistic regression revealed that preoperative pain, bone surgery, and length of incision were risk factors for postoperative rebound pain, and patient-controlled analgesia was protective against postoperative rebound pain. Conclusion Tropisetron does not affect the incidence of rebound pain after peripheral nerve block. Patients at high risk of postoperative rebound pain should be identified for appropriate management.

Resocialization mitigates depressive behaviors induced by social isolation stress in mice: Attenuation of hippocampal neuroinflammation and nitrite level. Brain Behav 2024; 14:e3604. [PMID: 38898740 PMCID: PMC11187168 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Social isolation stress (SIS) is a stressor known to trigger depressive behaviors. Psychiatric disorders are associated with neurobiological changes, such as neuroinflammation and an increase in nitric oxide (NO) signaling. Despite the well-established detrimental effects of SIS and the involvement of neuroinflammation and NO in depression, potential management strategies, especially resocialization, remain insufficiently explored. Our aim was to elucidate the effects of resocialization on depressive behaviors in socially isolated mice, with a focus on the possible involvement of neuroinflammation and nitrite in the hippocampus (HIP). METHODS We utilized 24 Naval Medical Research Institute male mice, maintained under both social and isolation conditions (SC and IC). After the isolation period, the mice were divided into two groups of eight, including the SIS group and a resocialized group. The SC group was kept without exposure to isolation stress. We conducted the open-field test, forced swimming test, and splash test to evaluate depressive behaviors. Additionally, nitrite levels, as well as the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the HIP, were measured. RESULTS The study found that resocialization significantly reduces depressive behaviors in SIS mice. The results suggest that the antidepressive effects of resocialization may be partially due to the modulation of the neuroinflammatory response and nitrite levels in the HIP. This is supported by the observed decrease in hippocampal gene expression of IL-1β, TLR4, and TNF, along with a reduction in nitrite levels following resocialization. CONCLUSION These insights could pave the way for new management strategies for depression, emphasizing the potential benefits of social interactions.

CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14536.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a prevalent psychiatric disorder with high long-term morbidities, recurrences, and mortalities. Despite extensive research efforts spanning decades, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of depression remain largely unknown. What's more, about one third of patients do not have effective anti-depressant therapies, so there is an urgent need to uncover more mechanisms to guide the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in maintaining ion gradients essential for neuronal activities, as well as in the transport and release of neurotransmitters. Additionally, ATP could also participate in signaling pathways following the activation of postsynaptic receptors. By searching the website PubMed for articles about "ATP and depression" especially focusing on the role of extracellular ATP (eATP) in depression in the last 5 years, we found that numerous studies have implied that the insufficient ATP release from astrocytes could lead to depression and exogenous supply of eATP or endogenously stimulating the release of ATP from astrocytes could alleviate depression, highlighting the potential therapeutic role of eATP in alleviating depression. AIM Currently, there are few reviews discussing the relationship between eATP and depression. Therefore, the aim of our review is to conclude the role of eATP in depression, especially focusing on the evidence and mechanisms of eATP in alleviating depression. CONCLUSION We will provide insights into the prospects of leveraging eATP as a novel avenue for the treatment of depression.

Vet World 2023; 16:1755-1764. [PMID: 37766700 PMCID: PMC10521175 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2023.1755-1764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Social isolation stress (SIS) and individual housing have been shown to cause abnormal cognitive insufficiencies, altered anxiety levels, and signs of psychiatric diseases. Acorus calamus (AC), commonly known as Sweet Flag, has been widely used in India to treat neurological, metabolic, and respiratory disorders, indicating its potential therapeutic value. This study aimed to determine the antidepressant and antioxidative effects of AC on rats subjected to long-term, social isolation-induced stress. Materials and Methods This study involved 2-month-old male rats (24) weighing approximately 180-200 g bred in-house. The rats were divided into four groups (n = 6): Group 1 received saline, Group 2 received SIS, Group 3 received only 50 mg/kg AC, and Group 4 received 50 mg/kg AC and SIS for 6 weeks. After this, behavioral, biochemical, and neuronal assays were conducted. Results Behavioral experiments showed significantly higher activity levels (p < 0.001) in AC-treated rats than in the SIS group. In addition, rats subjected to SIS with AC treatment exhibited enhanced total antioxidants, superoxide dismutase, and neuronal assays compared to rats subjected to SIS alone. Conclusion Acorus calamus treatment improved the antidepressant and antioxidant potential against SIS in rat brain tissue. Moreover, we proved that AC can effectively reverse the neurotoxicity induced by SIS in animal models. As we battle against the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and social isolation, AC could be considered a supplementary treatment to alleviate depressive-like symptoms in our present-day lifestyle.

Abstract
Recent studies have been demonstrated that neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of depression. Therefore, anti-inflammatory medications could be regarded as a potentially effective treatments for depression. Ellagic acid (EA) is a natural polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant-like effect of EA in a mouse model of social isolation stress (SIS), considering its potential anti-neuroinflammatory properties. In this study, 48 male mice were divided into six groups (n = 8), including saline-treated control (socially conditioned (SC)) group and SIS (isolation conditioned (IC)) groups treated with saline or EA at doses of 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively. Saline and EA were administrated intraperitoneally for 14 constant days. Immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) and grooming activity time in the splash test were measured. The gene expression of inflammatory cytokines relevant to neuroinflammation was assessed in the hippocampus by real-time PCR. Results showed that SIS significantly increased immobility time in the FST and reduced grooming activity time in the splash test. In addition, the expression of inflammatory genes, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and TLR4 increased in IC mice's hippocampi. Findings showed that EA decreased immobility time in the FST and increased grooming activity time in the splash test. Moreover, EA attenuated neuroimmune-response in the hippocampus. In conclusion, finding determined that EA, through attenuation of neuroinflammation in the hippocampus, partially at least, exerted an antidepressant-like effect in the mouse model of SIS.

Abstract
Social isolation (SI) is a major risk factor for mood disorders in adolescents. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is an important reward center implicated in psychiatric disorders. Resveratrol (RSV) is one of the most effective natural polyphenols with anti-anxiety and depression effects. However, little is known about the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of RSV on behavioral abnormality of adolescent social stress. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of RSV on the amelioration of SI-induced behavioral abnormality. We found that SI induced anxiety-like behavior and social dysfunction in isolated female rats. Moreover, SI reduced mitochondrial number and ATP levels and increased thin spine density in the NAc. RNA sequencing results showed that SI changed the transcription pattern in the NAc, including 519 upregulated genes and 610 downregulated genes, especially those related to mitochondrial function. Importantly, RSV ameliorated behavioral and spine abnormalities induced by SI and increased NAc ATP levels and mitochondria number. Furthermore, RSV increased the activity of cytochrome C oxidase (COX) and upregulated mRNA levels of Cox5a, Cox6a1 and Cox7c. These results demonstrate that the modulation of spine plasticity and mitochondrial function in the NAc by RSV has a therapeutic effect on mood disorders induced by social isolation.

Abstract
(1) Objective: Considering that current knowledge of mechanisms involved in the molecular pathogenesis of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is limited, we conducted a systematic review to evaluate cumulative data obtained by Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic (1H MRS) studies. (2) Methods: A computer-based literature search of Medline, EMBASE, PsycInfo, and ProQuest was performed. Only cross-sectional studies using 1H MRS techniques in participants with SAD and healthy controls (HCs) were selected. (3) Results: The search generated eight studies. The results indicated regional abnormalities in the ‘fear neurocircuitry’ in patients with SAD. The implicated regions included the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), insula, occipital cortex (OC), as well as the subcortical regions, including the thalamus, caudate, and the putamen. (4) Conclusions: The evidence derived from eight studies suggests that possible pathophysiological mechanisms of SAD include impairments in the integrity and function of neurons and glial cells, including disturbances in energy metabolism, maintenance of phospholipid membranes, dysregulations of second messenger systems, and excitatory/inhibitory neurocircuitry. Conducting more cross-sectional studies with larger sample sizes is warranted given the limited evidence in this area of research.

Abstract
Murine slowly adapting receptors (SARs) within airway smooth muscle provide volume-related feedback; however, their mechanosensitivity and morphology are incompletely characterized. We explored two aspects of SAR physiology: their inherent static mechanosensitivity and a potential link to pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs). SAR mechanosensitivity displays a rate sensitivity linked to speed of inflation; however, to what extent static SAR mechanosensitivity is tuned for the very rapid breathing frequency (B f ) of small mammals (e.g., mouse) is unclear. NEB-associated, morphologically described smooth muscle-associated receptors (SMARs) may be a structural analog for functionally characterized SARs, suggesting functional linkages between SARs and NEBs. We addressed the hypotheses that: (1) rapid murine B f is associated with enhanced in vivo SAR static sensitivity; (2) if SARs and NEBs are functionally linked, stimuli reported to impact NEB function would alter SAR mechanosensitivity. We measured SAR action potential discharge frequency (AP f, action potentials/s) during quasi-static inflation [0-20 cmH2O trans-respiratory pressure (PTR)] in NEB-relevant conditions of hypoxia (FIO2 = 0.1), hypercarbia (FICO2 = 0.1), and pharmacologic intervention (serotonergic 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, Tropisetron, 4.5 mg/kg; P2 purinergic receptor antagonist, Suramin, 50 mg/kg). In all protocols, we obtained: (1) AP f vs. PTR; (2) PTR threshold; and (3) AP f onset at PTR threshold. The murine AP f vs. PTR response comprises high AP f (average maximum AP f: 236.1 ± 11.1 AP/s at 20 cmH2O), a low PTR threshold (mean 2.0 ± 0.1 cmH2O), and a plateau in AP f between 15 and 20 cmH2O. Murine SAR mechanosensitivity (AP f vs. PTR) is up to 60% greater than that reported for larger mammals. Even the maximum difference between intervention and control conditions was minimally impacted by NEB-related alterations: Tropisetron -7.6 ± 1.8% (p = 0.005); Suramin -10.6 ± 1.5% (p = 0.01); hypoxia +9.3 ± 1.9% (p < 0.001); and hypercarbia -6.2 ± 0.9% (p < 0.001). We conclude that the high sensitivity of murine SARs to inflation provides enhanced resolution of operating lung volume, which is aligned with the rapid B f of the mouse. We found minimal evidence supporting a functional link between SARs and NEBs and speculate that the <10% change in SAR mechanosensitivity during altered NEB-related stimuli is not consistent with a meaningful physiologic role.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tropisetron on liver injury induced by diabetes. Thirty-five male Wistar rats were assigned to five groups (n = 7): control (C), tropisetron (T), diabetic (D), diabetic + tropisetron (D + T) and diabetic + glibenclamide (D + G). Diabetic rats were treated with tropisetron (3 mg/kg body weight/day) or glibenclamide (1 mg/kg/day) for two weeks. Liver from diabetic rats exhibited a significant increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), cholesterol (Chol), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and atherogenic index, and a significant decrease in liver glycogen, serum albumin and high-density lipoprotein. Treatment with tropisetron significantly abrogated diabetes-induced perturbation in these parameters. These effects were equipotent with glibenclamide, suggesting that tropisetron treatment is associated with a hepatoprotective effect against diabetic injury. Therefore, the results of this study manifested the significance of using tropisetron as a promising remedial agent to improve diabetic complications.

Exercise and fluoxetine treatment during adolescence protect against early life stress-induced behavioral abnormalities in adult rats. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2021; 205:173190.

Abstract
Depression is a psychiatric disorder with several comorbidities that has a complicated pathophysiology. Multiple mechanisms such as abnormal hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity, neurotransmission (namely serotonin), and immune-inflammatory responses are involved in the pathophysiology of disease. In this study, we hypothesized that applying exercise (running wheel (RW) and treadmill (TM)) or fluoxetine (FLX) during adolescence could protect adult rats against the negative impact of early-life stress. To do this, we applied maternal separation stress (MS) to neonatal rats from postnatal day (PND) 2 to 14 and at PND 28, rats were divided into 8 experimental groups and were subjected to TM or RW or FLX treatment. After four weeks of physical activity or FLX treatment, at PND 64, behaviors were assessed by applying forced swimming test, sucrose preference test, open-field test, and elevated plus maze test. Serum cortiscosterone (CORT) levels and expression of genes associated with inflammatory factors (Il1β, Hmgb1, and Il6) and serotonergic systems (5-ht2c and 5-ht3a) were studies in the hippocampus (HIPP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC). Our results revealed that RW and FLX treatment during adolescence are capable of attenuating MS-induced depressive- and anxiety-like disorders in adult male rats. These effects were accompanied by the normalization of both serum CORT and the expression of genes in the HIPP and PFC. TM exercise in adolescence showed anxiolytic effects but failed to produce antidepressant-like effects. Results of this study suggest that voluntary physical activity during adolescence can reduce the negative effects of early-life stress through different mechanisms.

Abstract
Beyond abnormalities in the neurotransmitter hypothesis, recent evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and immune-inflammatory responses contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) undergoes maturation and development during adolescence, which is a critical time window in life that is vulnerable to environmental adversities and the development of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. Applying eight weeks of post-weaning social isolation stress (PWSI) to rats, as an animal model of schizophrenia, we decided to investigate the effects of PWSI on the mitochondrial function and expression of immune-inflammatory genes in the PFC of normal and stressed rats. To do this, control and PWSI rats were divided into treatment (clozapine; CLZ, 2.5 mg/kg/day for 28 days) and non-treatment sub-groups. Our results showed PWSI caused schizophrenic-like behaviors in rats and induced mitochondrial dysfunction as well as upregulation of genes associated with innate immunity in the PFC. Chronic treatment with CLZ attenuated the effects of PWSI on behavioral abnormalities, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune-inflammatory responses in the PFC of rats. These results may advance our understanding about the mechanism of action of CLZ that targets mitochondrial dysfunction and immune-inflammatory responses as factors involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Depression is a disabling psychiatric disorder affecting millions of people all around the world. Under current therapeutic choices, a portion of patients are not responsive, have relapses, or experience cognitive side effects. Hence, the present study aimed to find other antidepressant compounds lacking the mentioned deficiency. Since epigenetic regulations have attracted more attention in etiology of depression, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have gained more importance due to their possible antidepressant activity. We selected a promising member of HDAC inhibitors named suberanilohydroxamic acid (SAHA) to evaluate its antidepressant properties. Early life stress disarrays many neurodevelopmental factors and consequently, leads to the destruction of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex synapses as areas highly related to emotion and memory so that any destruction on them can cause lasting impairments. For that reason, we used maternal separation (MS) paradigm to investigate depression in male mice. To compare the efficacy of SAHA with current treatment options, we also treated a group of MS mice with fluoxetine (FLX) as first-line pharmacological drugs of depression. The results demonstrated that depressive-like behavior, cognitive function and inflammatory response of MS mice were attenuated with SAHA. Our data showed that, besides anti-depressant and cognition-boosting effects similar to FLX, SAHA counteracted inflammatory response caused by depression and reversed the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) level in hippocampus. SAHA's effect on alleviating depressive behavior was accompanied with memory enhancement and hippocampus biochemical tests. These findings may propose SAHA as another therapeutic option for depressive symptoms, especially with comorbid cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) receptors are found throughout central and peripheral nervous systems, mainly in brain regions involved in the neurobiology of anxiety and depression. 5-HT receptors are currently promising targets for discovering new drugs for treating disorders ranging from migraine to neuropsychiatric upsets, such as anxiety and depression. It is well described in the current literature that the brain expresses seven types of 5-HT receptors comprising eighteen distinct subtypes. In this article, we comprehensively reviewed 5-HT1-7 receptors. Of the eighteen 5-HT receptors known today, thirteen are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and represent targets for approximately 40% of drugs used in humans. Signaling pathways related to these receptors play a crucial role in neurodevelopment and can be modulated to develop effective therapies to treat anxiety and depression. This review presents the experimental evidence of the modulation of the “serotonergic receptosome” in the treatment of anxiety and depression, as well as demonstrating state-of-the-art research related to phytochemicals and these disorders. In addition, detailed aspects of the pharmacological mechanism of action of all currently known 5-HT receptor families were reviewed. From this review, it will be possible to direct the rational design of drugs towards new therapies that involve signaling via 5-HT receptors.

Abstract
Loneliness and social isolation are common sources of chronic stress in modern society. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that loneliness and social isolation increase mortality risk as much as smoking or alcohol consumption and more than physical inactivity or obesity. Loneliness in human is associated with higher blood pressure whereas enhanced atherosclerosis is observed in animal models of social isolation. Loneliness and social isolation lead to activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, enhanced sympathetic nerve activity, impaired parasympathetic function and a proinflammatory immune response. These mechanisms have been implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease conferred by social isolation although a causal relationship has not been established so far. There is evidence that oxidative stress is likely to be a key molecular mechanism linking chronic psychosocial stress to cardiovascular disease. NADPH oxidase-mediated oxidative stress in the hypothalamus has been shown to be required for social isolation-induced HPA axis activation in socially isolated rats. Oxidative stress in the rostral ventrolateral medulla is also a key regulator of sympathetic nerve activity. In the vasculature, oxidative stress increases vascular tone and promote atherogenesis through multiple mechanisms. Thus, preventing oxidative stress may represent a therapeutic strategy to reduce the detrimental effects of social stress on health.

Behav Brain Res 2020; 390:112671.

Abstract
Although recent studies have shown that angiotensin (1-7) (Ang [1-7]) exerts anti-stress and anxiolytic-like effects, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The ventral hippocampus (VH) is proposed to be a critical brain region for mood and stress management through the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signaling pathway. However, the role of VH NMDAR signaling in the effects of Ang (1-7) remains unclear. In the present study, Ang (1-7) was injected into the bilateral VH of stressed rats, or in combination with a Fyn kinase inhibitor, NMDAR antagonist, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitor, or nitric oxide (NO) scavenger. Anxiety-like behaviors were assessed using the open field test and elevated plus maze test, while alterations in NMDAR-nNOS-NO signaling and serotonergic metabolism were examined in the VH. After 21 days of chronic restraint stress, anxiety-like behaviors were evident. Levels of phosphorylated NR2B (a key NMDAR subunit), its upstream kinase Fyn, as well as activity of nNOS and monoamine oxidase (MAO) were markedly reduced. In contrast, levels of serotonin were increased. Bilateral VH infusion of Ang (1-7) recovered NMDAR-nNOS-NO signaling and MAO-mediated serotonin metabolism, as well as reducing anxiety-like behaviors in stressed rats. These effects were diminished by blockade of MasR (Ang [1-7]-specific receptor), Fyn kinase, NMDAR, nNOS, or NO production. Altogether, these findings indicate that Ang (1-7) exerts anxiolytic effects through modulation of the NMDAR-nNOS-NO pathway and serotonergic metabolism. Future translational research should focus on the relationship between Ang (1-7), glutamatergic neurotransmission, and serotonergic neurotransmission in the VH.

Ferulic acid through mitigation of NMDA receptor pathway exerts anxiolytic-like effect in mouse model of maternal separation stress.

Abstract
Background Experiencing early-life stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders. Ferulic acid is a phenolic compound found in some plants which has several pharmacological properties. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are involved in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. In this study we aimed to assess the anxiolytic-like effect of ferulic acid in a mouse model of maternal separation (MS) stress by focusing on the possible involvement of NMDA receptors. Methods Mice were treated with ferulic acid (5 and 40 mg/kg) alone and in combination with NMDA receptor agonist/antagonist. Valid behavioral tests were performed, including open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze test (EPM), while quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate gene expression of NMDA subunits (GluN2A and GluN2B) in the hippocampus. Results Findings showed that treatment of MS mice with ferulic acid increased the time spent in the central zone of the OFT and increased both open arm time and the percent of open arm entries in the EPM. Ferulic acid reduced the expression of NMDA receptor subunit genes. We showed that administration of NMDA receptor agonist (NMDA) and antagonist (ketamine) exerted anxiogenic and anxiolytic-like effects, correspondingly. Results showed that co-administration of a sub-effective dose of ferulic acid plus ketamine potentiated the anxiolytic-like effect of ferulic acid. Furthermore, co-administration of an effective dose of ferulic acid plus NMDA receptor agonist (NMDA) attenuated the anxiolytic-like effect of ferulic acid. Conclusions In deduction, our findings showed that NMDA, partially at least, is involved in the anxiolytic-like effect of ferulic acid in the OFT and EPM tests.

Abstract
Objectives There is an association between diabetes and liver disorders. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathology of hepatic abnormalities in diabetes. In this study, the effect of Tropisetron on the oxidative damage and histological alterations in the liver of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) were evaluated. Methods Thiry-five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five experimental groups (n = 7): control (C), tropisetron (T), diabetes (D), diabetes + tropisetron (D + T) and diabetes + glibenclamide (D + G). A single injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg; i.p) was used to induce diabetes. Tropisetron (3 mg/kg; i.p), as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and glibenclamide (1 mg/kg; i.p), as a positive control were given once daily for 2 weeks. Finally, animals were euthanized and liver samples were obtained for histopathological examination and biochemical measurements including malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels. Results There is a significant increase in MDA (p < 0.001) level and a significant decrease (p < 0.001) in SOD and GPx contents in diabetic animals. Tropisetron attenuated MDA levels (p < 0.001) and enhanced SOD (p < 0.05) and GPx (p < 0.01) activities accompanied by histopathological improvement in the diabetes liver. Similar results were achieved in the rats treated with the standard drug, namely: glibenclamide. Conclusions Our findings indicate that tropisetron mitigates liver damage in the diabetes rats in part by attenuation of oxidative stress.

Interaction of the Psychiatric Risk Gene Cacna1c With Post-weaning Social Isolation or Environmental Enrichment Does Not Affect Brain Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in Rats. Front Cell Neurosci 2019; 13:483.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders involves complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. Confirmed by several genome-wide association studies, Cacna1c represents one of the most robustly replicated psychiatric risk genes. Besides genetic predispositions, environmental stress such as childhood maltreatment also contributes to enhanced disease vulnerability. Both, Cacna1c gene variants and stressful life events are associated with morphological alterations in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus. Emerging evidence suggests impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics as a possible underlying mechanism of these regional brain abnormalities. In the present study, we simulated the interaction of psychiatric disease-relevant genetic and environmental factors in rodents to investigate their potential effect on brain mitochondrial function using a constitutive heterozygous Cacna1c rat model in combination with a four-week exposure to either post-weaning social isolation, standard housing, or social and physical environmental enrichment. Mitochondria were isolated from the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus to evaluate their bioenergetics, membrane potential, reactive oxygen species production, and respiratory chain complex protein levels. None of these parameters were considerably affected in this particular gene-environment setting. These negative results were very robust in all tested conditions demonstrating that Cacna1c depletion did not significantly translate into altered bioenergetic characteristics. Thus, further investigations are required to determine the disease-related effects on brain mitochondria.

Abstract
The nitric oxide (NO) pathway in the brain is involved in response to psychosocial stressors. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of nNOS and iNOS in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HIP), and hypothalamus (HYPO) during social isolation stress (IS), social crowding stress (CS), and a combined IS + CS. In the PFC, 3 days of CS increased iNOS but not nNOS protein level. In the HIP and HYPO, the levels of nNOS and iNOS significantly increased after 3 days of CS. In the PFC, IS alone (11 days) enhanced iNOS protein level following 3 days of CS and increased nNOS level in the HIP and HYPO after 14 days of CS. By contrast, in the HIP, IS abolished the subsequent CS-induced increase in nNOS in the HIP and strongly elevated iNOS level after 7 days of CS. In the HYPO, prior IS inhibited nNOS protein level induced by subsequent CS for 3 days, but increased nNOS protein level after longer exposure times to CS. Isolation stress strongly upregulated plasma interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels while corticosterone (CORT) level declined. We show that the modulatory action of the NO pathway and ACTH/CORT adaptation to chronic social isolation stress is dependent on the brain structure and nature and duration of the stressor. Our results indicate that isolation is a robust natural stressor in social animals; it enhances the NO pathway in the PFC and abolishes subsequent social CS-induced NOS responses in the HIP and HYPO.

Abstract
Tropisetron is an adjuvant for dezocine used in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and has been reported to provide superior pain control. It is efficacious in reducing the institutional incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which decreases resource utilization and cost. However, no scientific evidence has been reported in the literature demonstrating analytical confirmation of the compatibility and stability of the combination of dezocine and tropisetron. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the stability of dezocine with tropisetron in 0.9% sodium chloride injection form for PCA administration.Commercial solutions of dezocine and tropisetron were combined and examined for compatibility and stability when diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride injection in polyolefin bags and glass bottles stored at 4°C or 25°C for up to 14 days. The initial concentrations were 40 mg/100 mL dezocine and 5 mg/100 mL tropisetron. For all samples, the compatibility parameters (including precipitation, cloudiness, discoloration, and pH values) were evaluated. Chemical stability was also determined using high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis.After a 14-day period of storage at 4°C or 25°C, the initial concentrations of dezocine and tropisetron were maintained at at least 98%. All of the mixtures remained clear and colorless throughout the observation period, and no color change or precipitation was observed.These results indicated that admixtures of 40 mg/100 mL dezocine and 5 mg/100 mL tropisetron in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were stable for at least 14 days when stored in polyolefin bags or glass bottles at 4°C or 25°C and protected from light.

Abstract
Social isolation stress (SIS) as a type of chronic stress could induce depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors. Our study evaluates the role of opioid system on negative behavioral impacts of SIS in male NMRI mice. We investigated effects of morphine, a nonselective opioid receptor (OR) agonist, naltrexone (NLX), an OR antagonist, naltrindole (NLT), a delta opioid receptor (DOR) antagonist, SNC80, a DOR agonist, U-69593, a kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonist, nor-Binaltorphimine, a selective KOR antagonist and cyprodime hydrochloride a selective mu opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist on depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors. Using RT-PCR we evaluated ORs gene expression in mice brain. Our findings showed that SIS induced anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in the forced swimming test, open field test, splash test and hole-board test. Moreover, administration of SNC-80 significantly mitigated anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors. NLT decreased grooming-activity in the splash test. Excitingly, administration of agents affecting KOR failed to alter the negative effects of SIS. RT-PCR demonstrated that MOR and KOR gene expression decreased in socially isolated mice; however, SIS did not affect DORs expression. Our findings suggest that SIS at least in part, probably via altering endogenous opioids particularly MORs and KORs but not DORs mediated negative impacts on behavior; also, it could be concluded that DORs might be considered as a novel target for studying depression and anxiety.

Abstract
The brain is a vital organ, susceptible to alterations under genetic influences and environmental experiences. Social isolation (SI) acts as a stressor which results in alterations in reactivity to stress, social behavior, function of neurochemical and neuroendocrine system, physiological, anatomical and behavioral changes in both animal and humans. During early stages of life, acute or chronic SIS has been proposed to show signs and symptoms of psychiatric and neurological disorders such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy and memory loss. Exposure to social isolation stress induces a variety of endocrinological changes including the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, culminating in the release of glucocorticoids (GCs), release of catecholamines, activation of the sympatho-adrenomedullary system, release of Oxytocin and vasopressin. In several regions of the central nervous system (CNS), SIS alters the level of neurotransmitter such as dopamine, serotonin, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, nitrergic system and adrenaline as well as leads to alteration in receptor sensitivity of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and opioid system. A change in the function of oxidative and nitrosative stress (O&NS) mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory factors, neurotrophins and neurotrophicfactors (NTFs), early growth response transcription factor genes (Egr) and C-Fos expression are also involved as a pathophysiological consequences of SIS which induce neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Mood disorders are chronic, recurrent mental diseases that affect millions of individuals worldwide. Although over the past 40 years the biogenic amine models have provided meaningful links with the clinical phenomena of, and the pharmacological treatments currently employed in, mood disorders, there is still a need to examine the contribution of other systems to the neurobiology and treatment of mood disorders. This article reviews the current literature describing the potential role of nitric oxide (NO) signaling in the pathophysiology and thereby the treatment of mood disorders. The hypothesis has arisen from several observations including (i) altered NO levels in patients with mood disorders; (ii) antidepressant effects of NO signaling blockers in both clinical and pre-clinical studies; (iii) interaction between conventional antidepressants/mood stabilizers and NO signaling modulators in several biochemical and behavioral studies; (iv) biochemical and physiological evidence of interaction between monoaminergic (serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine) system and NO signaling; (v) interaction between neurotrophic factors and NO signaling in mood regulation and neuroprotection; and finally (vi) a crucial role for NO signaling in the inflammatory processes involved in pathophysiology of mood disorders. These accumulating lines of evidence have provided a new insight into novel approaches for the treatment of mood disorders.

Abstract
Mice socially isolated during adolescence exhibit behaviors of anxiety, depression and impaired social interaction. Although these behaviors are well documented, very little is known about the associated neurobiological changes that accompany these behaviors. It has been hypothesized that social isolation during adolescence alters the development of the prefrontal cortex, based on similar behavioral abnormalities observed in isolated mice and those with disruption of this structure. To establish relationships between behavior and underlying neurobiological changes in the prefrontal cortex, Thy-1-GFP mice were isolated from weaning until adulthood and compared to group-housed littermates regarding behavior, electrophysiological activity and dendritic morphology. Results indicate an immaturity of dendritic spines in single housed animals, with dendritic spines appearing smaller and thinner. Single housed mice additionally show impaired plasticity through measures of long-term potentiation. Together these findings suggest an altered development and impairment of the prefrontal cortex of these animals underlying their behavioral characteristics.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are currently used in a wide range of consumer products. Considering the small size of Ag-NPs, they are able to pass through variety of biological barriers and exert their effects. In this regard, the unique physicochemical properties of Ag-NPs along with its high application in the industry have raised concerns about their negative effects on human health. Therefore, it investigated whether prenatal exposure to low doses of Ag-NPs is able to induce any abnormality in the cognitive and behavioral performance of adult offspring. We gavaged pregnant NMRI mice with, 1) Deionized water as vehicle, 2) Ag-NPs 10 nm (0.26 mg/kg/day), 3) Ag-NPs 30 nm (0.26 mg/kg/day), and 4) AgNO3 (0.26 mg/kg/day) from gestational day (GD) 0 until delivery day. At the postnatal day (PD) 1, our results showed that high concentration of silver is present in the brain of pups. Further, we observed mitochondrial dysfunction and upregulation of the genes relevant to innate immune system in the brain. At PD 60, results revealed that prenatal exposure to Ag-NPs provoked severe cognitive and behavioral abnormalities in male offspring. In addition, we found that prenatal exposure to Ag-NPs was associated with abnormal mitochondrial function and significant up-regulation of the genes relevant to innate immunity in the brain. Although the Ag-NPs have been considered as safe compounds at low doses, our results indicate that prenatal exposure to low doses of Ag-NPs is able to induce behavioral and cognitive abnormalities in adulthood. Also, we found that these effects are at least partly associated with hippocampal mitochondrial dysfunction and the activation of sterile inflammation during early stages of life.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most widely used organophosphorus, which has spurred renewed interest. This study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of ziziphora tenuior extract against CPF-induced liver and lung toxicity. This study conducted 8-week rat sub-chronic toxicity study and then the effect of ziziphora tenuior extract in 3 different doses (40, 80, 160 mg/kg) was determined. We administrated maximum tolerated dose of CPF (6.75 mg/kg) by gavage for 8 weeks (5 times in week) to male rats. Rats were sacrificed 24 h after last dose and the biochemical analysis, which confirms involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of CPF toxicity in liver including increased in lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, and ROS formation, glutathione depletion, decreased of antioxidant effect via frap oxidation and cytochrome c expulsion. In addition, pathological lesions confirm the dysfunction of the organs (liver and lung). In addition, using of ziziphora extract as an antioxidant is resulted in amelioration of oxidative stress marker in liver and lung damage. In conclusion, the current study revealed that CPF toxicity is related to oxidative stress and induction of cell death signaling and cotreatment with ziziphora extract is recommended in the routine therapy for the protection against CPF induced liver and lung tissue damage.

Abstract
Mother-infant contact has a critical role on brain development and behavior. Experiencing early-life adversities (such as maternal separation stress or MS in rodents) results in adaptations of neurotransmission systems, which may subsequently increase the risk of depression symptoms later in life. In this study, we show that Oxytocin (OT) exerted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies indicate that neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are associated with the pathophysiology of depression. To investigate the antidepressant-like effects of OT, we applied MS paradigm (as a valid animal model of depression) to male mice at postnatal day (PND) 2 to PND 14 (3h daily, 9AM to 12AM) and investigated the depressive-like behaviors of these animals at PND 60 in different groups. Animals in this work were divided into 4 experimental groups: 1) saline-treated, 2) OT-treated, 3) atosiban (OT antagonist)-treated and, 4) OT+ atosiban-treated mice. We used forced swimming test (FST), splash test, sucrose preference test (SPT) and open field test (OFT) for behavioral assessment. Additionally, we used another set of animals to investigate the effects of MS and different treatments on mitochondrial function and the expression of the relevant genes for neuroinflammation. Our results showed that MS provoked depressive- like behaviors in the FST, SPT and splash test. In addition, our molecular findings revealed that MS is capable of inducing abnormal mitochondrial function and immune-inflammatory response in the hippocampus. Further, we observed that treating stressed animals with OT (intracerebroventricular, i.c.v. injection) attenuated the MS-induced depressive-like behaviors through improving mitochondrial function and decreasing the hippocampal expression of immune-inflammatory genes. In conclusion, we showed that MS-induced depressive-like behaviors in adult male mice are associated with abnormal mitochondrial function and immune-inflammatory responses in the hippocampus, and activation of OTergic system has protective effects against negative effects of MS on brain and behavior of animals.

Abstract
Tropisetron, a selective 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) antagonist, is widely used to counteract chemotherapy-induced emesis. There is growing interest concerning the beneficial effects of tropisetron on the treatment of several diseases. This study was carried out to examine effects of tropisetron on high glucose (HG) induced apoptosis in PC12 cells as a suitable culture model for studying neuronal functions. Apoptosis was induced by HG, and cells were treated with HG in the absence and presence of tropisetron for varying periods of time. The viability of PC12 cells was measured by MTT assay. The ROS (reactive oxygen species) production, lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and total antioxidant power (TAP) were measured. The expressions of proapoptotic Bax, antiapoptotic Bcl-2, caspase-3, total and phosphorylated JNK and P38 MAPKs were also examined by western blotting. The results indicated that pretreatment with tropisetron significantly improved the viability of the cells and protected PC12 cells against HG induced apoptotic cell death. It could increase the concentrations of TAP. HG induced ROS generation, Bax expression and caspase 3 activation, were prevented by tropisetron. HG also induced activation of JNK and P38 MAPKs. The phosphorylation of these kinases was inhibited by tropisetron. It may be concluded that tropisetron treatment protects PC12 cells against HG-induced apoptosis by preventing JNK, P38 activation and mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
Even though citalopram is commonly used in psychiatry, there are several reports on its toxic effects. So, the current study was designed to elucidate the mechanisms of cytotoxic effects of in vitro and in vivo citalopram treatment on liver and the following cytolethal events. For in vitro experiments, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were exposed to citalopram along with/without various agents. To do in vivo studies liver function enzyme assays and histological examination were performed. In the in vitro experiments, citalopram (500 µM) exposure demonstrated cell death, a marked elevation in ROS formation, mitochondrial potential collapse, lysosomal membrane leakiness, glutathione (GSH) depletion and lipid peroxidation. In vivo biochemistry panel assays for liver enzymes function (AST, ALT and GGTP) and histological examination confirmed citalopram (20 mg/kg)-induced damage. citalopram-induced oxidative stress cytotoxicity markers were significantly prevented by antioxidants, ROS scavengers, MPT pore sealing agents, endocytosis inhibitors, ATP generators and CYP inhibitors. Either enzyme induction or GSH depletion were concomitant with augmented citalopram-induced damage both in vivo and in vitro which were considerably ameliorated with antioxidants and CYP inhibitors. In conclusion, it is suggested that citalopram hepatotoxicity might be a result of oxidative hazard leading to mitochondrial/lysosomal toxic connection and disorders in biochemical markers which were supported by histomorphological studies.

Abstract
Early life stressful events have detrimental effects on the brain and behavior, which are associated with the development of depression. Immune-inflammatory responses have been reported to contribute in the pathophysiology of depression. Many studies have reported on the beneficial effects of exercise against stress. However, underlying mechanisms through which exercise exerts its effects were poorly studied. Therefore, it applied maternal separation (MS), as a valid animal model of early-life adversity, in rats from postnatal day (PND) 2 to 14 for 180min per day. At PND 28, male Wistar albino rats were subjected to 5 experimental groups; 1) controls 2) MS rats 3) MS rats treated with fluoxetine 5mg/kg to PND 60, 4) MS rats that were subjected to voluntary running wheel (RW) exercise and 5) MS rats that were subjected to mandatory treadmill (TM) exercise until adulthood. At PND 60, depressive-like behaviors were assessed by using forced swimming test (FST), splash test, and sucrose preference test (SPT). Our results revealed that depressive-like behaviors following MS stress were associated with an increase in expression of toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr-4) and its main signaling protein, Myd88, in the hippocampal formation. Also, we found that voluntary (and not mandatory) physical exercise during adolescence is protected against depressant effects of early-life stress at least partly through mitigating the innate immune responses in the hippocampus.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a high risk for development of colitis-associated cancer (CAC). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced by enterochromaffin cells of the intestine. Serotonin and its receptors, mainly 5-HT3 receptor, are overexpressed in IBD and promote development of CAC through production of inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, we demonstrated the in vivo activity of tropisetron, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, against experimental CAC. CAC was induced by azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DDS) in BALB/c mice. The histopathology of colon tissue was performed. Beta-catenin and Cox-2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry as well as quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). Alterations in the expression of 5-HT3 receptor and inflammatory-associated genes such as Il-1β, Tnf-α, Tlr4 and Myd88 were determined by qRT-PCR. Our results showed that tumor development in tropisetron-treated CAC group was significantly lower than the controls. The qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of 5-HT3 receptor was significantly increased following CAC induction. In addition, tropisetron reduced expression of β-catenin and Cox-2 in the CAC experimental group. The levels of Il-1β, Tnf-α, Tlr4 and Myd88 were significantly decreased upon tropisetron treatment in the AOM/DSS group. Taken together, our data show that tropisetron inhibits development of CAC probably by attenuation of inflammatory reactions in the colitis.

Abstract
Antidepressant-like effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine subtype 3 (5-HT3) antagonists including tropisetron and ondansetron have been previously demonstrated in the literature. It was reported that stimulation of 5-HT3 receptors activate the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathway, which is involved in regulation of behavioral and emotional functions. In our study, treating animals with tropisetron (5, 10, and 30mg/kg) and ondansetron (0.01 and 0.1µg/kg) significantly decreased the immobility time in forced swimming test (FST) and tail-suspension test (TST). Co-administration of subeffective doses of tropisetron (1mg/kg) and ondansetron (0.001µg/kg) with subeffective dose of l-NAME (10mg/kg, nonselective NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor) and 7-nitroindazole (25mg/kg, neural NOS inhibitor) exerted antidepressant-like effect in FST and TST, while aminoguanidine (50mg/kg, inducible NOS inhibitor) did not enhance the antidepressant-like effect of 5-HT3 antagonists. Besides, l-arginine (750mg/kg, NO precursor) and sildenafil (5mg/kg, phosphodiesterase inhibitor) suppressed the anti-immobility effect of 5-HT3 antagonists. None of the treatments altered the locomotor behavior of mice in open-field test. Also, hippocampal (but not cortical) nitrite level was significantly lower in tropisetron and ondansetron-treated mice compared with saline-injected mice. Also, co-administration of 7-nitroindazole with tropisetron or ondansetron caused a significant decrease in hippocampal nitrite levels. In conclusion, we suggest that antidepressant-like effect of tropisetron and ondansetron are partially mediated by modulation of NO-cGMP pathway.

Abstract
Experiencing psychosocial stress in early life, such as social isolation stress (SIS), is known to have negative enduring effects on the development of the brain and behavior. In addition to anxiety and depressive-like behaviors, we previously showed that juvenile SIS increases susceptibility to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice through enhancing the nitrergic system activity in the hippocampus. In this study, we investigated the possible involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in proconvulsant effects of juvenile SIS. Applying 4 weeks of SIS to juvenile male mice at postnatal day 21-23, we observed an increased susceptibility to PTZ as well as anxiety and depressive-like behaviors in adult mice. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of NMDA receptor antagonists, MK-801 (0.05 mg/kg) and ketamine (0.5mg/kg), reversed the proconvulsant effects of SIS in Isolated (and not social) housed animals. Co-administration of non-effective doses of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, 7NI (25mg/kg) and L-NAME (10mg/kg), with NMDA receptor antagonists, MK-801 (0.01 mg/kg) and ketamine (0.1mg/kg) attenuated the proconvulsant effects of juvenile SIS only in isolated housed mice. Also, using real time RT-PCR, we showed that hippocampal upregulation of NR2B subunit of NMDA receptor may play a critical role in proconvulsant effects of juvenile SIS by dysregulation of NMDA/NO pathway. In conclusion, results of present study revealed that experiencing SIS during adolescence predisposes the co-occurrence of seizure disorders with psychiatric comorbidities and also, alteration of NMDA receptor structure and function in hippocampus plays a role in proconvulsant effects of juvenile SIS through enhancing the NMDA/NO pathway.
