Abstract
Sleep is a fundamental conserved physiological state across evolution, suggesting vital biological functions that are yet to be fully clarified. However, our understanding of the neural and molecular basis of sleep regulation has increased rapidly in recent years. Among various processes implicated in controlling sleep homeostasis, a bidirectional relationship between sleep and oxidative stress has recently emerged. One proposed function of sleep may be the mitigation of oxidative stress in both brain and peripheral tissues, contributing to the clearance of reactive species that accumulate during wakefulness. Conversely, reactive species, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), at physiological levels, may act as signaling agents to regulate redox-sensitive transcriptional factors, enzymes, and other effectors involved in the regulation of sleep. As a primary sensor of intracellular oxidation, the transcription factor NRF2 is emerging as an indispensable component to maintain cellular redox homeostasis during sleep. Indeed, a number of studies have revealed an association between NRF2 dysfunction and the most common sleep conditions, including sleep loss, obstructive sleep apnea, and circadian sleep disturbances. This review examines the evidence of the intricate link between oxidative stress and NRF2 function in the context of sleep, and highlights the potential of NRF2 modulators to alleviate sleep disturbances.

Tibetan singing bowls emit low-frequency sounds and produce perceptible harmonic tones and vibrations through manual tapping. The sounds the singing bowls produce have been shown to enhance relaxation and reduce anxiety. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used chronic restraint stress or sleep deprivation to establish mouse models of anxiety that exhibit anxiety-like behaviors. We then supplied treatment with singing bowls in a bottomless cage placed on the top of a cushion. We found that unlike in humans, the combination of harmonic tones and vibrations did not improve anxiety-like behaviors in mice, while individual vibration components did. Additionally, the vibration of singing bowls increased the level of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 in the somatosensory cortex and prefrontal cortex of the mice, decreased the level of γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA) receptor α 1 subtype, reduced the level of CaMKII in the prefrontal cortex, and increased the number of GABAergic interneurons. At the same time, electrophysiological tests showed that the vibration of singing bowls significantly reduced the abnormal low-frequency gamma oscillation peak frequency in the medial prefrontal cortex caused by stress restraint pressure and sleep deprivation. Results from this study indicate that the vibration of singing bowls can alleviate anxiety-like behaviors by reducing abnormal molecular and electrophysiological events in somatosensory and medial prefrontal cortex.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and negatively affects people of all ages. Cognitive impairment induced by SD involves neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Urolithin A (UA) is a natural compound that can reduce neuroinflammation and improve mitochondrial health, but its therapeutic effects in a SD model have not yet been studied. Young (3-months old) and aged (12-months old) mice were sleep deprived for 24 h, and UA (2.5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days before the SD period. Immunofluorescent staining, western blotting, and RT-PCR were employed to evaluate levels of proteins involved in neuroinflammation and mitochondrial function. Transmission electron microscope and Golgi-Cox staining were used to evaluate mitochondrial and neuronal morphology, respectively. Finally, contextual fear conditioning and the Morris water maze test were conducted to assess hippocampal learning and memory. In the hippocampus of young (3 months-old) and aged (12 months-old) mice subjected to 24 h SD, pretreatment with UA prevented the activation of microglia and astrocytes, NF-κB-NLRP3 signaling and IL-1β, IL6, TNF-α cytokine production, thus ameliorating neuroinflammation. Furthermore, UA also attenuated SD-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, normalized autophagy and mitophagy and protected hippocampal neuronal morphology. Finally, UA prevented SD-induced hippocampal memory impairment. Cumulatively, the results show that UA imparts cognitive protection by reducing neuroinflammation and enhancing mitochondrial function in SD mice. This suggests that UA shows promise as a therapeutic for the treatment of SD-induced neurological disorders.

Abstract
Objective : To explore illness-related factors in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) recipients of adjunctive minocycline (200 mg/day) treatment. The analysis included participants experiencing MDD from a 12-week, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial (RCT). Methods : This is a sub-analysis of a RCT of all 71 participants who took part in the trial. The impact of illness chronicity (illness duration and number of depressive episodes), systemic illness (endocrine, cardiovascular and obesity), adverse effects and minocycline were evaluated as change from baseline to endpoint (12-week) using ANCOVA. Results : There was a consistent but statistically non-significant trend on all outcomes in favour of the use of adjunctive minocycline for participants without systemic illness, less illness chronicity, and fewer adverse effects. Conclusion : Understanding the relationship between MDD and illness chronicity, comorbid systemic illness, and adverse effects, can potentially better characterise those individuals who are more likely to respond to adjunctive anti-inflammatory medications.

Abstract
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis generates functional neurons from neural progenitor cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) to complement and repair neurons and neural circuits, thus benefiting the treatment of depression. Increasing evidence has shown that aberrant microglial activity can disrupt the appropriate formation and development of functional properties of neurogenesis, which will play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of depression. However, the mechanisms of the crosstalk between microglia and adult hippocampal neurogenesis in depression are not yet fully understood. Therefore, in this review, we first introduce recent discoveries regarding the roles of microglia and adult hippocampal neurogenesis in the etiology of depression. Then, we systematically discuss the possible mechanisms of how microglia regulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis in depression according to recent studies, which involve toll-like receptors, microglial polarization, fractalkine-C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, cytokines, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the microbiota-gut-brain axis, etc. In addition, we summarize the promising drugs that could improve the adult hippocampal neurogenesis by regulating the microglia. These findings will help us understand the complicated pathological mechanisms of depression and shed light on the development of new treatment strategies for this disease.

Gastrodin programs an Arg-1 + microglial phenotype in hippocampus to ameliorate depression- and anxiety-like behaviors via the Nrf2 pathway in mice. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 113:154725. [PMID: 36867963 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulating the microglial phenotype is an attractive strategy for treating diseases of the central nervous system such as depression and anxiety. Gastrodin can quickly cross the blood-brain barrier and mitigate microglia-mediated inflammation, which widely used to treat a variety of central nervous system diseases associated with microglial dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanism by which gastrodin regulates the functional phenotype of microglia remains unclear. PURPOSE Since the transcription factor "nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2″ (Nrf2) is associated with the anti-inflammatory effects of gastrodin, we hypothesized that gastrodin induces Nrf2 expression in microglia and thereby programs an anti-inflammatory phenotype. STUDY DESIGN Male C57BL/6 mice, treated or not with gastrodin, were given lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 0.25 mg/kg/d for 10 days to induce chronic neuroinflammation. The effects of gastrodin on microglial phenotypes, neuroinflammation and depression- and anxiety-like behaviors were evaluated. In another experiment, animals were treated with Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 throughout the 13-day gastrodin intervention period. METHODS The effects of gastrodin on depression- and anxiety-like behaviors were evaluated through the sucrose preference test, forced swimming test, open field test and elevated plus-maze test; as well as its effects on morphology and molecular and functional phenotypes of hippocampal microglia through immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS Chronic exposure to LPS caused hippocampal microglia to secrete inflammatory cytokines, their somata to enlarge, and their dendrites to lose branches. These changes were associated with depression- and anxiety-like behaviors. Gastrodin blocked these LPS-induced alterations and promoted an Arg-1+ microglial phenotype that protected neurons from injury. The effects of gastrodin were associated with Nrf2 activation, whereas blockade of Nrf2 antagonized gastrodin. CONCLUSION These results suggest that gastrodin acts via Nrf2 to promote an Arg-1+ microglial phenotype, which buffers the harmful effects of LPS-induced neuroinflammation. Gastrodin may be a promising drug against central nervous system diseases that involve microglial dysfunction.

Brain Res Bull 2023; 197:1-12.

Abstract
In sleep deprivation (SD) models, ferroptosis is increased. SIRT1 alleviates cognitive impairment in SD, and SIRT1/NRF2/HO1 pathway depresses ferroptosis in different diseases. Moreover, YTHDC1 can regulate SIRT1 mRNA stability. Therefore, our study explored effects of the YTHDC1/SIRT1/NRF2/HO1 axis on neuronal damage and ferroptosis in SD. The SD mouse model was established through a modified multi-platform water environment method and a cell model of ferroptosis was constructed with Erastin, followed by gain- and loss-of-function assays. In mice, the cognitive impairment and CLOCK and BMAL1 levels in hippocampal tissues were assessed. In cells, viability was measured. In mice and cells, mitochondrial ultrastructure, the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and iron, and the expression of GPX4 and ACSL4 were detected. The potential relationships among YTHDC1, SIRT1, and NRF2 were analyzed. SD mice had downregulated YTHDC1, SIRT1, NRF2, and HO1 protein expression in hippocampal tissues and increased ferroptosis. Mechanically, SIRT1 activated the NRF2/HO1 pathway through deacetylation, and YTHDC1 increased SIRT1 mRNA stability. YTHDC1 overexpression diminished mitochondrial damage, the content of ROS, iron, and MDA, and the expression of ACSL4 while enhancing GSH contents and GPX4 expression in hippocampal tissues of SD mice and Erastin-induced HT22 cells. Additionally, YTHDC1 overexpression elevated viability in Erastin-induced HT22 cells. SIRT1 or NRF2 overexpression ameliorated Erastin-induced mitochondrial damage and ferroptosis in HT22 cells. Silencing SIRT1 abolished the impact of YTHDC1 overexpression on SD mice and Erastin-induced HT22 cells. Collectively, YTHDC1 ameliorates mitochondrial damage and ferroptosis after SD by activating the SIRT1/NRF2/HO1 pathway.

Chung Y, Wu JL, Huang WC. Effects of prebiotics on intestinal physiology, neuropsychological function, and exercise capacity of mice with sleep deprivation. Food Res Int 2023; 165:112568. [PMID: 36869551 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
People suffered from insufficient or disrupted sleep due to night shifts, work pressure, and irregular lifestyles. Sleep deprivation caused by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep has been associated with not only increased risk of metabolic diseases, gut dysbiosis, and emotional disorders but also decreased work and exercise performance. In this study, we used the modified multiple platform method (MMPM) to induce pathological and psychological characteristics of sleep deprivation with C57BL/6J male mice, and investigated whether supplementing a prebiotics mixture of short-chain galactooligosaccharides (scGOS) and long-chain fructooligosaccharides (lcFOS) (9:1 ratio) could improve the impacts of sleep deprivation on intestinal physiology, neuropsychological function, inflammation, circadian rhythm, and exercise capacity. Results showed that sleep deprivation caused intestinal inflammation (increased TNFA and IL1B) and decreased intestinal permeability with a significant decrease in the tight junction genes (OCLN, CLDN1, TJP1, and TJP2) of intestine and brain. The prebiotics significantly increased the content of metabolite short-chain fatty acids (acetate and butyrate) while recovering the expression of indicated tight junction genes. In hypothalamus and hippocampus, clock (BMAL1 and CLOCK) and tight junction (OCLN and TJP2) genes were improved by prebiotics, and corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor genes, CRF1 and CRF2, were also significantly regulated for mitigation of depression and anxiety caused by sleep deprivation. Also, prebiotics brought significant benefits on blood sugar homeostasis and improvement of exercise performance. Functional prebiotics could improve physiological modulation, neuropsychological behaviors, and exercise performance caused by sleep deprivation, possibly through regulation of inflammation and circadian rhythm for health maintenance. However, the microbiota affected by prebiotics and sleep deprivation should warrant further investigation.

Sleep Deprivation Induces Dopamine System Maladaptation and Escalated Corticotrophin-Releasing Factor Signaling in Adolescent Mice. Mol Neurobiol 2023; 60:3190-3209.

Abstract
Sleep disruption is highly associated with the pathogenesis and progression of a wild range of psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, appreciable evidence shows that experimental sleep deprivation (SD) on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic (DA) signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Since adolescence is a vital period for the maturation of the DA system as well as the occurrence of mental disorders, the present studies aimed to investigate the impacts of SD on the DA system of adolescent mice. We found that 72 h SD elicited a hyperdopaminergic status, with increased sensitivity to the novel environment and amphetamine (Amph) challenge. Also, altered neuronal activity and expression of striatal DA receptors were noticed in the SD mice. Moreover, 72 h SD influenced the immune status in the striatum, with reduced microglial phagocytic capacity, primed microglial activation, and neuroinflammation. The abnormal neuronal and microglial activity were putatively provoked by the enhanced corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling and sensitivity during the SD period. Together, our findings demonstrated the consequences of SD in adolescents including aberrant neuroendocrine, DA system, and inflammatory status. Sleep insufficiency is a risk factor for the aberration and neuropathology of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
GABAA receptor-positive modulators are well-known to induce sedation, sleep, and general anesthesia. Conversely, GABAA receptor negative allosteric modulators (GABAARNAMs) can increase arousal and induce seizures. Motivated by our studies with patients with hypersomnia, and our discovery that two GABAARNAMs can restore the Excitation/Inhibition (E/I) balance in vitro and arousal in vivo, we chose to screen 11 compounds that have been reported to modulate arousal, to see if they shared a GABA-related mechanism. We determined modulation with both conventional and microfluidic patch clamp methods. We found that receptor activation was variably modulated by all 11 compounds: Rifampicin (RIF), Metronidazole (MET), Minocycline (MIN), Erythromycin (ERY), Ofloxacin (OFX), Chloroquine (CQ), Hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ), Flumazenil (FLZ), Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), and clarithromycin (CLR). The computational modeling of modulator-receptor interactions predicted drug action at canonical binding sites and novel orphan sites on the receptor. Our findings suggest that multiple avenues of investigation are now open to investigate large and brain-penetrant molecules for the treatment of patients with diminished CNS E/I balance.

Abstract
Background Hypertension, sleep disorders, and depression are highly prevalent in the elderly population and are all associated with cognitive impairment, but the role that sleep quality and depression play in the association between hypertension and cognitive impairment is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether sleep quality and depression have a mediating role in the association between hypertension and cognitive impairment. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from the Tongji Hospital Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Database. Sleep quality, depression and cognitive function were measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), respectively. Correlation analysis, regression analysis and Bootstrap analysis were used to examine correlations between key variables and mediating effects of sleep quality and depression. Adjustments for multiple comparisons were performed using Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment for multiple testing. Results A total of 827 participants were included, hypertension was present in 68.3% of the sample. After correcting for covariates, hypertensive patients aged 65 years or older had worse cognitive function, poorer-sleep quality and higher levels of depression. Sleep quality was significantly negatively associated with depression and cognitive function, while depression was negatively associated with cognitive function. Mediation analysis revealed that hypertension can affect cognitive function in older adults through a single mediating effect of sleep quality and depression and a chain mediating effect of sleep quality and depression. Conclusion This study found that sleep quality and depression can mediate the relationship between hypertension and cognitive function in elderly. Enhanced supervision of sleep quality and depression in elderly patients with hypertension may be beneficial in maintaining cognitive function.

Abstract
titania (titanium dioxide, TiO2) is known to induce neurotoxicity and CNS dysfunctions. Numerous studies have explored the neuroprotective effects of melatonin against neurotoxicity. This study evaluates the potential of melatonin to protect against titania-induced neurotoxicity and the role of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. One group of animals were treated with Titania (0.045 and 0.075 g/rat) alone while the other with added melatonin (1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg) and behavioral alterations were assessed using OFT (open field test). Neurochemical and histopathological changes were also studied in the hippocampus by analyzing kelch ECH associating protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and antioxidant response element (ARE). It was seen that the animals with added Melatonin had improved behavioral scores in the OFT, like anxiety and motor dysfunction triggered by TiO2. Melatonin also reduced lipid peroxidation, ROS, GSSG, IL1β, TNFα, Bax, and Keap1 levels, but boosted GSH, GPx, GR, SOD,IL10,IL4, Bcl2, Nrf2, and ARE levels and improved quadruple mitochondrial enzyme complex activity in titania-treated animals. Histopathological examination showed melatonin induced cytoprotection against vacuolization and necrosis in granular cells of DG and pyramidal cells of CA1 area of the hippocampus. In our study, pretreatment with melatonin reduced titania-induced neurotoxicity in the hippocampus through a mechanism potentially mediated by the Keap-1/Nrf2/ARE pathway.

Abstract
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is a major source of serotonin in the central nervous system, which is closely related to depression-like behaviors and is modulated by local GABAergic interneurons. Although serotonin neurons are known to be activated by struggling behavior in tail suspension test (TST), the exact electrophysiological characteristics are still unclear. Here, we combined in vivo electrode recording and behavioral test to explore the mice neuron electrophysiology in DRN during TST and observed that gamma oscillation was related to despair-like behaviors whereas burst fraction was crucial for survival-like behaviors. We reported the identification of a subpopulation of DRN neurons which change their firing rates when mice get into and during TST immobile states. Both increase (putative despair units, D units for short) and decrease (putative survival units, S units for short) in firing rate were observed. Furthermore, using optogenetics to identify parvalbumin-positive (PV+) and serotonin transporter-positive (SERT+) neurons, we found that SERT+ neurons were almost S units. Interestingly, those that have been identified PV+ neurons include ~20% of D units and ~50% of S units. These results suggest that electrophysiological characteristics incorporated in despair-like behavior studies can provide new insight into the study of anti-depression targets, and GABAergic interneuron is a complex key hub to the coding and regulation of local neural network.
