Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug addiction is a social and medical problem that must be urgently addressed. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is closely related to addiction-related learning memory, and γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor (GABA B R) is a potential target for the treatment of drug addiction. However, the role of GABA B R activity levels in the NAc in cocaine addiction is unclear. METHODS In this study, we established an animal model of cocaine dependence, modulated the level of GABA B R activity, applied a conditioned place preference assay (CPP) to assess the role of the NAc in reconsolidation of addiction memory, evaluated learning and memory functions by behavioral experiments, examined the expression of GB1, GB2, cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB), p-CREB, protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase (ERK), and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the NAc by molecular biology experiments, and screened differentially significantly expressed genes by transcriptome sequencing. RESULTS Our study showed that the GABA B receptor agonist baclofen (BLF) had a significant effect on locomotor distance in rats, promoted an increase in GABA levels and significantly inhibited the PKA and ERK1/2/CREB/BDNF signaling pathways. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing showed that GABA B R antagonist intervention identified a total of 21 upregulated mRNAs and 21 downregulated mRNAs. The differentially expressed (DE) mRNA genes were mainly enriched in tyrosine metabolism; however, further study is needed. CONCLUSION GABA B R activity in the NAc is involved in the regulation of cocaine addiction and may play an important role through key mRNA pathways.

Impact of Caffeine Intake Strategies on Heart Rate Variability during Post-Exercise Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Curr Cardiol Rev 2024; 20:87-100. [PMID: 38494935 DOI: 10.2174/011573403x289842240307114736] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the influence of caffeine (CAF) intake strategies, taking into account their form, timing, and dosage, on heart rate variability (HRV) indices in the post-exercise recovery period. METHODS The meta-analysis adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and is registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023425885). A comprehensive literature search was carried out across MEDLINE, Web of Science, LILACS, and SCOPUS, concluding in May 2023. We concentrated on randomized clinical trials comparing CAF supplementation effects to placebo on HRV indices post-exercise in active adults aged 18 and above. The primary endpoint was the assessment of HRV indices, measured both prior to and following exercise. RESULTS Of the 10 studies included, 7 were used for the meta-analysis, and all contributed to the systematic review. The research explored a variety of CAF strategies, spanning different forms (capsule, drink, gum), times (10, 45, 60 min) and doses (2.1 to 6.0 mg/kg). The outcomes revealed no substantial variations between the placebo and CAF conditions in terms of both the square root of the average of successive squared differences between adjacent RR intervals (RMSSD) (standardized mean difference (SMD) -0.03, 95% CI -0.265 to 0.197, p=0.77) and high frequency (HF) index (SMD -0.061, 95% CI -0.272 to 0.150, p=0.57). Furthermore, metaregression analysis, employing a fixed-effects model and accounting for the administered CAF doses, revealed no significant correlation between caffeine doses and HRV indices (p>0.05). CONCLUSION In conclusion, there is moderate-certainty evidence suggesting that different CAF intake strategies, encompassing aspects such as form, time, and dose, do not have a significant impact on HRV indices recovery post-exercise (i.e., vagal modulation).

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption retarded weight gain but not induced depression and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Life Sci 2023; 317:121469. [PMID: 36736765 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To assess the effects of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and exercise on behaviors. METHODS Twenty-four male mice were divided into four groups: the water + sedentary (WS), the SSB + sedentary (CS), the water + exercise (WE), and the SSB + exercise (CE). After three-month of interventions, forced swim test (FST), open field test (OFT), and morris water maze (MWM) were conducted. Then, mRNA levels of MAO-A, COMT, and 5-HT1A and protein levels of synapsin, STAT3, A2AR, CRTC1, CREB, and BDNF were measured. RESULTS Under a similar baseline body weight condition, SSB consumption reduced the weight gain from the 3rd week (p < 0.05, or p < 0.01). Exercise decreased the escape latency in the CE group when compared to the CS group on day5 (p < 0.01) and increased the time in the target quadrant in the WE group than the WS group on day4 (p < 0.05) and 5 (p < 0.01) during MWM. No significant differences were found during the FST and OFT. COMT mRNA level was increased after SSB consumption (p < 0.05), but no differences were found in the MAO-A and 5-HT1A mRNA levels and the concerned biomarkers, all of which were previously reported to be associated with depression and anxiety-like behaviors. CONCLUSION SSB consumption reduced weight gain but not result in depression and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Therefore, the behavioral effects of exercise were not significant. This is not consistent with the results of previous epidemiological surveys of humans.

Exploring the role of Tibetan medicinal formula Qishiwei Zhenzhu Pills (Ranasampel) against diabetes mellitus-linked cognitive impairment of db/db mice through serum pharmacochemistry and microarray data analysis. Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:1033128. [PMID: 36620773 PMCID: PMC9814129 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1033128] [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: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetes cognitive impairment (DCI) is a common diabetic central nervous system disorder that severely affects the quality of life of patients. Qishiwei Zhenzhu Pills (Ranasampel) is a valuable Tibetan medicine formula with the ability to improve cerebral blood vessels, protect nerves and improve learning and memory, which has also been widely verified in clinical and basic research. Currently, the prevention and treatment of DCI are still in the exploratory research stage, and the use of Ranasampel will provide new ideas and insights for its treatment. Objective This study is to explore the absorbed components in serum derived from Ranasampel using serum pharmacochemistry, then identify the potential mechanism of Ranasampel for the treatment of DCI through bioinformatics and microarray data validation. Methods The UPLC-Q-Exactive MS/MS-based serum pharmacochemistry method was conducted to identify the main active components in serum containing Ranasampel. Then, these components were used to predict the possible biological targets of Ranasampel and explore the potential targets in treating DCI by overlapping with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) screened from Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Afterward, the protein-protein interaction network, enrichment analyses, hub gene identification, and co-expression analysis were used to study the potential mechanism of Ranasampel. Particularly, the hub genes and co-expression transcription factors were further validated using hippocampal expression profiles of db/db mice treated with Ranasampel, while the Morris water-maze test and H&E staining were used to assess the spatial learning and memory behaviors and histopathological changes. Results Totally, 40 compounds derived from Ranasampel had been identified by serum sample analysis, and 477 genes related to these identified compounds in Ranasampel, 110 overlapping genes were collected by the intersection of Ranasampel target genes and DEGs. Further comprehensive analysis and verification emphasized that the mechanism of Ranasampel treatment of DCI may be related to the improvement of learning and memory function as well as insulin resistance, hyperglycemia-induced neuronal damage, and neuroinflammation. Conclusion This study provided useful strategies to explore the potential material basis for compound prescriptions such as Ranasampel. These hub genes and common pathways also provided new ideas for further study of therapeutic targets of DCI and the pharmacological mechanism of Ranasampel.

Abstract
We studied the effect of inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine on learning and spatial memory in rats exposed to long-term administration to caffeine during the prenatal and early postnatal periods. The rats perinatally receiving caffeine demonstrated high learning ability in the Morris water maze. At the same time, the ability to remember the location of the hidden platform in the trial probe in these rats was reduced in comparison with that of the control group rats perinatally receiving water. Administration of aminoguanidine to rats under conditions of perinatal exposure to caffeine significantly improved the parameters of spatial learning and memory. Thus, inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase has a beneficial effect on the cognitive functions in offspring perinatally receiving caffeine.

Abstract
Dietary intake of caffeine has significantly increased in recent years, and beneficial and harmful effects of caffeine have been extensively studied. This paper reviews antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of caffeine as well as its protective effects on cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancers, and neurodegenerative and liver diseases. In addition, we summarize the side effects of long-term or excessive caffeine consumption on sleep, migraine, intraocular pressure, pregnant women, children, and adolescents. The health benefits of caffeine depend on the amount of caffeine intake and the physical condition of consumers. Moderate intake of caffeine helps to prevent and modulate several diseases. However, the long-term or over-consumption of caffeine can lead to addiction, insomnia, migraine, and other side effects. In addition, children, adolescents, pregnant women, and people who are sensitive to caffeine should be recommended to restrict/reduce their intake to avoid potential adverse effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the widespread use of caffeine including consumption during pregnancy, the effect of prenatal caffeine exposure on child brain development and behavior is unclear. METHODS To address this, we used data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study (n = 11,875 children aged 9-11 years from 22 sites across the United States). We explored the associations between prenatal caffeine exposure and various developmental outcomes including birth outcomes, physical health, behavior problems, cognition, substance use and brain structure in children, and evaluated dose effects. RESULTS Among 9,978 children (4,745 females) who had valid data for prenatal caffeine exposure and whose mothers did not use drugs of abuse after knowing of pregnancy, 4,170 (41.79%) had no prenatal caffeine exposure, 2,292 (22.97%) had daily, 1,933 (19.37%) had weekly, and 1,583 (15.86%) had less than weekly exposures. Prenatal caffeine exposure including the widely recommended 'safe' dose was associated with greater externalizing problems, whereas greater BMI and soda consumption were only observed in children with high dose exposures (3+ per day). Notably, the effect size for association of externalizing problems with prenatal caffeine exposure was comparable with that reported for prenatal alcohol (The American Journal of Psychiatry, 177, 2020 and 1060) and prenatal cannabis (JAMA Psychiatry, 78, 2020 and 64) exposures from previous ABCD publications. Additionally, prenatal caffeine exposure was associated with brain structural changes that included greater posterior and lower frontal cortical thickness and altered parietooccipital sulcal depth. CONCLUSIONS The recommended 'safe' dose of caffeine during pregnancy should be carefully studied to assess whether the behavioral and brain correlates observed here are clinically relevant and determine whether it needs adjustment. Because of the high prevalence of caffeine use in the general population, studies on prenatal exposure to drugs of abuse should include prenatal caffeine use as a covariate.

Abstract
Obstetric complications, like maternal hypertension and neonatal hypoxia, disrupt brain development, leading to psychiatry disorders later in life, like schizophrenia. The exact mechanisms behind this risk are not yet well known. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are a well-established model to study neurodevelopment of schizophrenia since they exhibit behavioral alterations mimicking schizophrenia that can be improved with antipsychotic drugs. SHR mothers are hypertensive, and the SHR offspring develop in preeclampsia-like conditions. Hypoxic conditions increase levels of adenosine, which play an important role in brain development. The enhanced levels of adenosine at birth could be related to the future development of schizophrenia. To investigate this hypothesis adenosine levels of brain neonatal Wistar rats and SHR were quantified. After that, caffeine, an antagonist of adenosinergic system, was administrated on PND (postnatal day) 7 (neurodevelopmental age similar to a human at delivery) and rats were observed at adolescent and adult ages. We also investigated the acute effects of caffeine at adolescent and adult ages. SHR control adolescent and adult groups presented behavioral deficits like hyperlocomotion, deficit in social interaction (SI), and contextual fear conditioning (CFC). In SHR, neonatal caffeine treatment on PND 7 normalized hyperlocomotion, improved SI, and CFC observed at adolescent period and adult ages, showing a beneficial effect on schizophrenia-like behaviors. Wistar rats neonatally treated with caffeine exhibited hyperlocomotion, deficit in SI and CFC when observed at adolescent and adult ages. Acutely caffeine treatment administrated at adolescent and adult ages increased locomotion and decreased SI time of Wistar rats and impair CFC in adult Wistars. No effects were observed in SHR. In conclusion, caffeine can be suggested as a useful drug to prevent behavioral deficits observed in this animal model of prenatal hypoxia-induced schizophrenia profile when specifically administered on PND 7.

Abstract
Sleep is a circadian rhythm that is modulated by endogenous circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Sleep modulates memory acquisition and promotes memory consolidation. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation (SD) impairs different types of memory including passive avoidance. Furthermore, the hippocampus plays a significant role in modulating passive avoidance memory. On the other hand, 5-HT4 receptors are expressed in the hippocampus and involved in learning and memory processes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CA1 hippocampal 5-HT4 receptors in memory acquisition impairment induced by total sleep deprivation (TSD: 24 h) and REM sleep deprivation (RSD: 24 h). The water box apparatus was used to induce TSD, while multi-platform apparatus was applied to induce RSD. Passive avoidance memory test was also used to evaluate memory acquisition. The results showed that, intra-CA1 pre-training injection of RS67333 (5-HT4 agonist) and RS23597 (5-HT4 antagonist) at the doses of 0.01 and 0.1 µg/rat decreased memory acquisition, but did not alter pain perception and locomotor activity. Furthermore, TSD and RSD decreased memory acquisition; however, only TSD decreased locomotor activity and induced analgesic effect. The sub-threshold doses of RS67333 and RS23597, 0.001 and 0.0001 µg/rat, respectively, reversed the effect of TSD on memory acquisition and locomotor activity. In addition, only RS23597 reversed TSD-induced analgesia. In RSD condition, the subthreshold dose of RS23597 improved RSD-induced memory acquisition deficit. In conclusion, CA1 hippocampal 5-HT4 receptors play an important role in TSD/RSD-induced cognitive alterations.
