Neuropsychopharmacology 2024:10.1038/s41386-024-01913-3. [PMID: 39039139 DOI: 10.1038/s41386-024-01913-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
The development of novel radiotracers for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging agents targeting the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 A (SV2A), an integral glycoprotein present in the membrane of all synaptic vesicles throughout the central nervous system, provides a method for the in vivo quantification of synaptic density. This is of particular interest in neuropsychiatric disorders given that synaptic alterations appear to underlie disease progression and symptom severity. In this review, we briefly describe the development of these SV2A tracers and the evaluation of quantification methods. Next, we discuss application of SV2A PET imaging to the study of depression, including a review of our findings demonstrating lower SV2A synaptic density in people with significant depressive symptoms and the use of a ketamine drug challenge to examine synaptogenesis in vivo. We then highlight the importance of performing translational PET imaging in animal models in conjunction with clinical imaging. We consider the ongoing challenges, possible solutions, and present preliminary findings from our lab demonstrating the translational benefit and potential of in vivo SV2A imaging in animal models of chronic stress. Finally, we discuss methodological improvements and future directions for SV2A imaging, potentially in conjunction with other neural markers.

Rhythmic gamma frequency light flickering ameliorates stress-related behaviors and cognitive deficits by modulating neuroinflammatory response through IL-12-Mediated cytokines production in chronic stress-induced mice. Brain Behav Immun 2024; 121:213-228. [PMID: 39043349 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic stress enhances the risk for psychiatric disorders and induces depression and cognitive impairment. Gamma oscillations are essential for neurocircuit function, emotion, and cognition. However, the influence of gamma entrainment by sensory stimuli on specific aspects of chronic stress-induced responses remains unclear. Mice were subjected to corticosterone (CORT) administration and chronic restraint stress (CRS) for weeks, followed by rhythmic gamma frequency light flickering exposure. Local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded from the V1, CA1, and PFC regions to verify the light flicker on gamma oscillations. Behavioral tests were used to examine stress-related and memory-related behaviors. Golgi staining was performed to observe changes in spine morphology. Synaptosomes were isolated to determine the expression of synapse-related proteins through immunoblotting. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was applied to explore specific changes in the transcriptome. Immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and ELISA were used to evaluate microglial activation and cytokine levels. In this study, we demonstrated that rhythmic 40 Hz LF attenuated stress-related behavior and cognitive impairments by ameliorating the microstructural alterations in spine morphology and increasing the expression of GluN2A and GluA1 in chronically stressed mice. Transcriptome analysis revealed that significantly downregulated genes in LF-exposed CRS mice were enriched in neuroimmune-related signaling pathways. Rhythmic 40 Hz LF exposure significantly decreased the number of Iba1-positive microglia in the PFC and hippocampus, and the expression levels of the M1 markers of microglia iNOS and CD68 were reduced significantly in CRS mice. In addition, 40 Hz LF exposure suppressed the secretion of cytokines IL-12, which could regulate the production of IFN-γ and IL-10 in stressed mice. Our results demonstrate that exposure to rhythmic 40 Hz LF induces the neuroimmune response and downregulation of neuroinflammation with attenuated stress-related behaviors and cognitive function in CRS-induced mice. Our findings highlight the importance of sensory-evoked gamma entrainment as a potential therapeutic strategy for stress-related disorders treatment.

Abstract
Specific memory processes and emotional aberrations in depression can be attributed to the different dorsal-ventral regions of the hippocampus. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential functions of the dorsal hippocampus (dHip) and ventral hippocampus (vHip) remain unclear. As Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is involved in the dorsal-ventral patterning of the neural tube and its signaling is dysregulated by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), we investigated its role in influencing the differential functions of the dHip and vHip. Here, CUMS downregulated the expression of Shh signaling markers, including Shh and its downstream effectors GLI family zinc finger 12 (Gli1/2), Patched (Ptch), and smoothened (Smo), in both the dHip and vHip of rats, though more so in the vHip. Additionally, Shh knockdown in the dorsal or ventral dentate gyrus (DG) resulted in restrained neurogenic activity in newborn neurons, especially in immature neurons through decreased expression of Shh signaling markers. Furthermore, Shh knockdown in the DG of the dHip led to memory impairment by inhibiting experience-dependent activation of immature neurons, whereas its knockdown in the DG of the vHip led to an emotional handicap by delaying the maturation of immature neurons. Finally, Shh knockdown in either the dDG or vDG of hippocampus abolished the corresponding cognitive enhancement and emotional recovery of fluoxetine. In conclusion, Shh is essential to maintain the functional heterogeneity of dHip and vHip in depressed rat, which was mainly mediating by local changes of dependent activation and maturity of immature neurons, respectively.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss, pose significant health challenges. Glutamate accumulation contributes to neuronal cell death in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of Albizia lebbeck leaf extract and its major constituent, luteolin, against glutamate-induced hippocampal neuronal cell death. Glutamate-treated HT-22 cells exhibited reduced viability, altered morphology, increased ROS, and apoptosis, which were attenuated by pre-treatment with A. lebbeck extract and luteolin. Luteolin also restored mitochondrial function, decreased mitochondrial superoxide, and preserved mitochondrial morphology. Notably, we first found that luteolin inhibited the excessive process of mitophagy via the inactivation of BNIP3L/NIX and inhibited lysosomal activity. Our study suggests that glutamate-induced autophagy-mediated cell death is attenuated by luteolin via activation of mTORC1. These findings highlight the potential of A. lebbeck as a neuroprotective agent, with luteolin inhibiting glutamate-induced neurotoxicity by regulating autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics.

Abstract
Moraxella lacunata is an emerging gram-negative bacterium that is responsible for multiple nosocomial infections. The bacterium is evolving resistance to several antibiotics, and currently, no effective licensed vaccines are available, which warrants the search for new therapeutics. A multi-epitope-based vaccine has been designed for M. lacunata. The complete proteome of M. lacunata contains 10,110 core proteins. Subcellular localization analysis revealed the presence of five proteins in the extracellular matrix, while 19 proteins were predicted to be located in the outer membrane, and 21 proteins were predicted to be located in the periplasmic region. Only two proteins, the type VI secretion system tube protein (Hcp) and the transporter substrate-binding domain-containing protein, were selected for epitope prediction as they fulfilled all the criteria for being potential vaccine candidates. Shortlisted epitopes from the selected proteins were fused together using "GPGPG" linkers to overcome the limitations of single-epitope vaccines. Next, the cholera toxin-B adjuvant was attached to the peptide epitope using an EAAAK linker. Docking analysis was performed to examine the interaction between the vaccine and immune cell receptors, revealing robust intermolecular interactions and a stable binding conformation. Molecular dynamics simulation findings revealed no drastic changes in the binding conformation of complexes during the simulation period. The net binding free energy of vaccine-receptor complexes was estimated using the molecular mechanics energies combined with the Poisson-Boltzmann and surface area continuum solvation (MM-PBSA) method. The reported values were -586.38 kcal/mol, -283.74 kcal/mol, and -296.88 kcal/mol for the TLR-4-vaccine complex, MHC-I-vaccine complex, and MHC-II-vaccine complex, respectively. Furthermore, the molecular mechanics energies combined with the generalized Born and surface area continuum solvation (MM-GBSA) analysis predicted binding free energies of -596.69 kcal/mol, -287.39 kcal/mol, and -298.28 kcal/mol for the TLR-4-vaccine complex, MHC-I-vaccine complex, and MHC-II-vaccine complex, respectively. The theoretical vaccine design proposed in the study could potentially serve as a powerful therapeutic against targeted pathogens, subject to validation through experimental studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Hippocampome.org is a mature open-access knowledge base of the rodent hippocampal formation focusing on neuron types and their properties. Previously, Hippocampome.org v1.0 established a foundational classification system identifying 122 hippocampal neuron types based on their axonal and dendritic morphologies, main neurotransmitter, membrane biophysics, and molecular expression (Wheeler et al., 2015). Releases v1.1 through v1.12 furthered the aggregation of literature-mined data, including among others neuron counts, spiking patterns, synaptic physiology, in vivo firing phases, and connection probabilities. Those additional properties increased the online information content of this public resource over 100-fold, enabling numerous independent discoveries by the scientific community. Hippocampome.org v2.0, introduced here, besides incorporating over 50 new neuron types, now recenters its focus on extending the functionality to build real-scale, biologically detailed, data-driven computational simulations. In all cases, the freely downloadable model parameters are directly linked to the specific peer-reviewed empirical evidence from which they were derived. Possible research applications include quantitative, multiscale analyses of circuit connectivity and spiking neural network simulations of activity dynamics. These advances can help generate precise, experimentally testable hypotheses and shed light on the neural mechanisms underlying associative memory and spatial navigation.

Anxiogenic doses of rapamycin prevent URB597-induced anti-stress effects in socially defeated mice. Neurosci Lett 2024; 818:137519.

Abstract
Repeated exposure to psychosocial stress modulates the endocannabinoid system, particularly anandamide (AEA) signaling in brain regions associated with emotional distress. The mTOR protein regulates various neuroplastic processes in the brain disrupted by stress, including adult hippocampal neurogenesis. This kinase has been implicated in multiple effects of cannabinoid drugs and the anti-stress behavioral effects of psychoactive drugs. Therefore, our hypothesis is that enhancing AEA signaling via pharmacological inhibition of the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) enzyme induces an anti-stress behavioral effect through an mTOR-dependent mechanism. To test this hypothesis, male C57Bl6 mice were exposed to social defeat stress (SDS) for 7 days and received daily treatment with either vehicle or different doses of the FAAH inhibitor, URB597 (0.1; 0.3; 1 mg/Kg), alone or combined with rapamycin. The results suggested that URB597 induced an inverted U-shaped dose-response curve in mice subjected to SDS (with the intermediate dose of 0.3 mg/kg being anxiolytic, and the higher tested dose of 1 mg/Kg being anxiogenic). In a second independent experiment, rapamycin treatment induced an anxiogenic-like response in control mice. However, in the presence of rapamycin, the anxiolytic dose of URB597 treatment failed to reduce stress-induced anxiety behaviors in mice. SDS exposure altered the hippocampal expression of the mTOR scaffold protein Raptor. Furthermore, the anxiogenic dose of URB597 decreased the absolute number of migrating doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells in the dentate gyrus, suggesting an anti-anxiety effect independent of newly generated/immature neurons. Therefore, our results indicate that in mice exposed to repeated psychosocial stress, URB597 fails to counteract the anxiogenic-like response induced by the pharmacological dampening of mTOR signaling.

Abstract
The lipid endocannabinoid system refers to endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs), the enzymes involved in their synthesis and metabolism, and the G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors (GPCRs), CB1, and CB2. CB1 receptors (CB1Rs) are distributed in the brain at presynaptic terminals. Their activation induces inhibition of neurotransmitter release, which are gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (Glu), dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. Postsynaptically localized CB1Rs regulate the activity of selected ion channels and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). CB2Rs are mainly peripheral and will not be considered here. Anandamide metabolism, mediated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), generates anandamide-derived prostanoids. In addition, COX-2 regulates the formation of CB1 ligands, which reduce excitatory transmission in the hippocampus (HC). The role of CB1Rs and COX-2 has been described in anxiety, depression, and cognition, among other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, affecting neurotransmission and behavior of the synapses. This review will analyze common pathways, mechanisms, and behavioral effects of manipulation at the CB1Rs/COX-2 level.

Abstract
Inflammation and social behavior deficits are associated with a number of neuropsychiatric disorders. Chronic stress, a major risk factor for depression and other mental health conditions is known to increase inflammatory responses and social behavior impairments. Disturbances in mitochondria function have been found in chronic stress conditions, however the mechanisms that link mitochondrial dysfunction to stress-induced social behavior deficits are not well understood. In this study, we found that chronic restraint stress (RS) induces significant increases in serum cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) levels in mice, and systemic Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) treatment attenuated RS-induced social behavioral deficits. Our findings revealed potential roles of mitophagy and Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) in mediating chronic stress-induced changes in cf-mtDNA levels and social behavior. Furthermore, we showed that inhibition of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) attenuates mtDNA-induced social behavior deficits. Together, these findings show that cf-mtDNA-TLR9 signaling is critical in mediating stress-induced social behavior deficits.

A whole transcriptome profiling analysis for antidepressant mechanism of Xiaoyaosan mediated synapse loss via BDNF/trkB/PI3K signal axis in CUMS rats. BMC Complement Med Ther 2023; 23:198. [PMID: 37322430 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-023-04000-0] [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: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a neuropsychiatric disease resulting from deteriorations of molecular networks and synaptic injury induced by stress. Traditional Chinese formula Xiaoyaosan (XYS) exert antidepressant effect, which was demonstrated by a great many of clinical and basic investigation. However, the exact mechanism of XYS has not yet been fully elucidated. METHODS In this study, chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats were used as a model of depression. Behavioral test and HE staining were used to detect the anti-depressant effects of XYS. Furthermore, whole transcriptome sequencing was employed to establish the microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and mRNA profiles. The biological functions and potential mechanisms of XYS for depression were gathered from the GO and KEGG pathway. Then, constructed the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks to illustrate the regulatory relationship between non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and mRNA. Additionally, longest dendrite length, total length of dendrites, number of intersections, and density of dendritic spines were detected by Golgi staining. MAP2, PSD-95, SYN were detected by immunofluorescence respectively. BDNF, TrkB, p-TrkB, PI3K, Akt, p-Akt were measured by Western Blotting. RESULTS The results showed that XYS could increase the locomotor activity and sugar preference, decreased swimming immobility time as well as attenuate hippocampal pathological damage. A total of 753 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), 28 circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), 101 miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and 477 mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were identified after the treatment of XYS in whole transcriptome sequencing analysis. Enrichment results revealed that XYS could regulate multiple aspects of depression through different synapse or synaptic associated signal, such as neurotrophin signaling and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Then, vivo experiments indicated that XYS could promote length, density, intersections of synapses and also increase the expression of MAP2 in hippocampal CA1, CA3 regions. Meanwhile, XYS could increase the expression of PSD-95, SYN in the CA1, CA3 regions of hippocampal by regulating the BDNF/trkB/PI3K signal axis. CONCLUSION The possible mechanism on synapse of XYS in depression was successfully predicted. BDNF/trkB/PI3K signal axis were the potential mechanism of XYS on synapse loss for its antidepressant. Collectively, our results provided novel information about the molecular basis of XYS in treating depression.

Abstract
Depression and chronic prostatitis (CP) are two common diseases that affect the human population worldwide. Clinically, it has been demonstrated that andrological patients often simultaneously suffer from depression and CP. Prior investigations have established that depression acts as an independent risk factor for CP. Herein, we explored the correlation between depression and CP using bioinformatics tools and through animal experiments. The potential targets and signalling pathways involved in depression and CP were predicted using bioinformatics tool, while depression in the rat model was established through chronic restraint stress. The expression of the related proteins and mRNA was assessed by Western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Relative to those in the control rats, the protein contents of PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR were lower in the model rats (p < 0.05). Similarly, the transcript levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR was also relatively lower in the model rats (p < 0.05). And PI3K/Akt agonists reduced inflammation in rat prostate tissue, accompanied by significant increases in the transcript and protein expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR. Thus, we proposed that depression model rats may induce CP as a result of mediation by the negative regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling network.

Abstract
Ketamine has shown antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) resistant to first-line treatments and approved for use in this patient population. Ketamine induces several forms of synaptic plasticity, which are proposed to underlie its antidepressant effects. However, the molecular mechanism of action directly responsible for ketamine's antidepressant effects remains under active investigation. It was recently demonstrated that the effectors of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signalling pathway, namely, eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binding proteins 1 and 2 (4E-BP1 and 4E-BP2), are central in mediating ketamine-induced synaptic plasticity and behavioural antidepressant-like effect. 4E-BPs are a family of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) translation repressors inactivated by mTORC1. We observed that their expression in inhibitory interneurons mediates ketamine's effects in the forced swim and novelty suppressed feeding tests and the long-lasting inhibition of GABAergic neurotransmission in the hippocampus. In addition, another effector pathway that regulates translation elongation downstream of mTORC1, the eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K), has been implicated in ketamine's behavioural effects. We will discuss how ketamine's rapid antidepressant effect depends on the activation of neuronal mRNA translation through 4E-BP1/2 and eEF2K. Furthermore, given that these pathways also regulate cognitive functions, we will discuss the evidence of ketamine's effect on cognitive function in MDD. Overall, the data accrued from pre-clinical research have implicated the mRNA translation pathways in treating mood symptoms of MDD. However, it is yet unclear whether the pro-cognitive potential of subanesthetic ketamine in rodents also engages these pathways and whether such an effect is consistently observed in the treatment-resistant MDD population.
