Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD), affecting over 264 million individuals globally, is associated with immune system dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation, potentially linked to neurodegenerative processes. This review examines blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in MDD, focusing on key regulators like matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), aquaporin-4 (AQP4), and ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1). We explore potential mechanisms by which compromised BBB integrity in MDD may contribute to neuroinflammation and discuss the therapeutic potential of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). n-3 PUFAs have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, and potential ability to modulate MMP9, AQP4, and ABCB1, thereby restoring BBB integrity in MDD. This review aims to elucidate these potential mechanisms and evaluate the evidence for n-3 PUFAs as a strategy to mitigate BBB dysfunction and neuroinflammation in MDD.

Unraveling the Role of the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Pathophysiology of Depression: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives. Mol Neurobiol 2024:10.1007/s12035-024-04205-5. [PMID: 38730081 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-024-04205-5] [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: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Depression is a highly prevalent psychological disorder characterized by persistent dysphoria, psychomotor retardation, insomnia, anhedonia, suicidal ideation, and a remarkable decrease in overall well-being. Despite the prevalence of accessible antidepressant therapies, many individuals do not achieve substantial improvement. Understanding the multifactorial pathophysiology and the heterogeneous nature of the disorder could lead the way toward better outcomes. Recent findings have elucidated the substantial impact of compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity on the manifestation of depression. BBB functions as an indispensable defense mechanism, tightly overseeing the transport of molecules from the periphery to preserve the integrity of the brain parenchyma. The dysfunction of the BBB has been implicated in a multitude of neurological disorders, and its disruption and consequent brain alterations could potentially serve as important factors in the pathogenesis and progression of depression. In this review, we extensively examine the pathophysiological relevance of the BBB and delve into the specific modifications of its components that underlie the complexities of depression. A particular focus has been placed on examining the effects of peripheral inflammation on the BBB in depression and elucidating the intricate interactions between the gut, BBB, and brain. Furthermore, this review encompasses significant updates on the assessment of BBB integrity and permeability, providing a comprehensive overview of the topic. Finally, we outline the therapeutic relevance and strategies based on BBB in depression, including COVID-19-associated BBB disruption and neuropsychiatric implications. Understanding the comprehensive pathogenic cascade of depression is crucial for shaping the trajectory of future research endeavors.

Abstract
Aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins belong to the superfamily of major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), and they transport water and other neutral solutes such as glycerol. These channel proteins are involved in vital physiological processes and are implicated in several human diseases. Experimentally determined structures of MIPs from diverse organisms reveal a unique hour-glass fold with six transmembrane helices and two half-helices. MIP channels have two constrictions formed by Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA) motifs and aromatic/arginine selectivity filters (Ar/R SFs). Several reports have found associations among single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human aquaporins (AQPs) with diseases in specific populations. In this study, we have compiled 2798 SNPs that give rise to missense mutations in 13 human AQPs. To understand the nature of missense substitutions, we have systematically analyzed the pattern of substitutions. We found several examples in which substitutions could be considered as non-conservative that include small to big or hydrophobic to charged residues. We also analyzed these substitutions in the context of structure. We have identified SNPs that occur in NPA motifs or Ar/R SFs, and they will most certainly disrupt the structure and/or transport properties of human AQPs. We found 22 examples in which missense SNP substitutions that are mostly non-conservative in nature have given rise to pathogenic conditions as found in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. It is most likely that not all missense SNPs in human AQPs will result in diseases. However, understanding the effect of missense SNPs on the structure and function of human AQPs is important. In this direction, we have developed a database dbAQP-SNP that contains information about all 2798 SNPs. This database has several features and search options that can help the user to find SNPs in specific positions of human AQPs including the functionally and/or structurally important regions. dbAQP-SNP (http://bioinfo.iitk.ac.in/dbAQP-SNP) is freely available to the academic community.

Forgetful, sad and old: Do vascular cognitive impairment and depression share a common pre-disease network and how is it impacted by ageing? J Psychiatr Res 2022; 156:611-627. [PMID: 36372004 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2022.10.071] [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: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and depression frequently coexist in geriatric populations and reciprocally increase disease risks. We assert that a shared pre-disease state of the psycho-immune-neuroendocrine (PINE) network model mechanistically explains bidirectional associations between VCI and depression. Five pathophysiological sub-networks are identified that are shared by VCI and depression: neuroinflammation, kynurenine pathway imbalance, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis overactivity, impaired neurotrophic support and cerebrovascular dysfunction. These do not act independently, and their complex interactions necessitate a systems biology approach to better define disease pathogenesis. The PINE network is already established in the context of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as depression, hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We build on previous literature to specifically explore mechanistic links between MDD and VCI in the context of PINE pathways and discuss key mechanistic commonalities linking these comorbid conditions and identify a common pre-disease state which precedes transition to VCI and MDD. We expand the model to incorporate bidirectional interactions with biological ageing. Diathesis factors for both VCI and depression feed into this network and the culmination of shared mechanisms (on an ageing substrate) lead to a critical network transition to one or both disease states. A common pre-disease state underlying VCI and depression can provide clinicians a unique opportunity for early risk assessment and intervention in disease development. Establishing the mechanistic elements and systems biology of this network can reveal early warning or predictive biomarkers together with novel therapeutic targets. Integrative studies are recommended to elucidate the dynamic networked biology of VCI and depression over time.

Abstract
Depression is a high-incidence mental illness that seriously affects human health. AQP4 has been reported to be closely associated with depression, while the underlying mechanism is still unclear. This work aimed to investigate the functional role of AQP4 in depression. Depression mouse model was constructed by administration of chronic social defeat stress (CSDS). We found that AQP4 was highly expressed in the hippocampal tissues of CSDS mice. AQP4 knockdown alleviated depression and enhanced the expression of NR2B and PSD95 in CSDS mice. Moreover, primary hippocampal neurons were treated with N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) to induce neuron injury. AQP4 overexpression repressed cell viability and promoted apoptosis of NMDA-treated primary hippocampal neurons. AQP4 up-regulation repressed the expression of NR2B (surface), and enhanced the expression of NR2B (intracellular), P-NR2B, CaMK II and CK2 in the NMDA-treated primary hippocampal neurons. The influence conferred by AQP4 up-regulation was abolished by KN-93 (CaMK II inhibitor) or TBB (CK2 inhibitor) treatment. Rapamycin treatment enhanced the expression of NR2B (surface), and repressed the expression of AQP4, NR2B (intracellular) and P-NR2B in the primary hippocampal neurons by activating autophagy. The activated autophagy alleviated depression in CSDS mice by repressing AQP4 expression. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that autophagy ameliorated depression by repressing AQP4 expression in mice, and AQP4 knockdown promoted membrane trafficking of NR2B and inhibited phosphorylation of NR2B via CaMK II/CK2 pathway. Thus, our work suggests that AQP4 may be a promising molecular target for the development of antidepressant drugs.

Abstract
Aquaporin is a membrane channel protein widely expressed in body tissues, which can control the input and output of water in cells. AQPs are differentially expressed in different cardiovascular tissues and participate in water transmembrane transport, cell migration, metabolism, inflammatory response, etc. The aberrant expression of AQPs highly correlates with the onset of ischemic heart disease, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, etc. Despite much attention to the regulatory role of AQPs in the cardiovascular system, the translation of AQPs into clinical application still faces many challenges, including clarification of the localization of AQPs in the cardiovascular system and mechanisms mediating cardiovascular pathophysiology, as well as the development of cardiovascular-specific AQPs modulators.Therefore, in this study, we comprehensively reviewed the critical roles of AQP family proteins in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis and described the underlying mechanisms by which AQPs mediated the outcomes of cardiovascular diseases. Meanwhile, AQPs serve as important therapeutic targets, which provide a wide range of opportunities to investigate the mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases and the treatment of those diseases.

Abstract
Stress disorders are leading causes of disease burden in the U.S. and worldwide, yet available therapies are fully effective in less than half of all individuals with these disorders. Although to date, much of the focus has been on neuron-intrinsic mechanisms, emerging evidence suggests that chronic stress can affect a wide range of cell types in the brain and periphery, which are linked to maladaptive behavioral outcomes. Here, we synthesize emerging literature and discuss mechanisms of how non-neuronal cells in limbic regions of brain interface at synapses, the neurovascular unit, and other sites of intercellular communication to mediate the deleterious, or adaptive (i.e., pro-resilient), effects of chronic stress in rodent models and in human stress-related disorders. We believe that such an approach may one day allow us to adopt a holistic "whole body" approach to stress disorder research, which could lead to more precise diagnostic tests and personalized treatment strategies. Stress is a major risk factor for many psychiatric disorders. Cathomas et al. review new insight into how non-neuronal cells mediate the deleterious effects, as well as the adaptive, protective effects, of stress in rodent models and human stress-related disorders.

Abstract
The etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ), as a serious mental illness, is unknown. The significance of genetics in SCZ pathophysiology is yet unknown, and newly identified mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene transcription may be helpful in determining how these changes affect SCZ development and progression. In the current work, we used a bioinformatics approach to describe the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-associated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in the olfactory epithelium (OE) samples in order to better understand the molecular regulatory processes implicated in SCZ disorders in living individuals. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain the OE microarray dataset (GSE73129) from SCZ sufferers and control subjects, which contained information about both lncRNAs and mRNAs. The limma package of R software was used to identify the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs). RNA interaction pairs were discovered using the Human MicroRNA Disease Database, DIANA-LncBase, and miRTarBase databases. In this study, the Pearson correlation coefficient was utilized to find positive correlations between DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs in the ceRNA network. Eventually, lncRNA-associated ceRNA axes were developed based on co-expression relations and DElncRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA interactions. This work found six potential DElncRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA loops in SCZ pathogenesis, including, SNTG2-AS1/hsa-miR-7-5p/SLC7A5, FLG-AS1/hsa-miR-34a-5p/FOSL1, LINC00960/hsa-miR-34a-5p/FOSL1, AQP4-AS1/hsa-miR-335-5p/FMN2, SOX2-OT/hsa-miR-24-3p/NOS3, and CASC2/hsa-miR-24-3p/NOS3. According to the findings, ceRNAs in OE might be promising research targets for studying SCZ molecular mechanisms. This could be a great opportunity to examine different aspects of neurodevelopment that may have been hampered early in SCZ patients.

Abstract
Depression in older individuals is a common complex mood disorder with high comorbidity of both psychiatric and physical diseases, associated with high disability, cognitive decline, and increased mortality The factors predicting the risk of late-life depression (LLD) are incompletely understood. The reciprocal relationship of depressive disorder and age- and disease-related processes has generated pathogenic hypotheses and provided various treatment options. The heterogeneity of depression complicates research into the underlying pathogenic cascade, and factors involved in LLD considerably differ from those involved in early life depression. Evidence suggests that a variety of vascular mechanisms, in particular cerebral small vessel disease, generalized microvascular, and endothelial dysfunction, as well as metabolic risk factors, including diabetes, and inflammation that may induce subcortical white and gray matter lesions by compromising fronto-limbic and other important neuronal networks, may contribute to the development of LLD. The "vascular depression" hypothesis postulates that cerebrovascular disease or vascular risk factors can predispose, precipitate, and perpetuate geriatric depression syndromes, based on their comorbidity with cerebrovascular lesions and the frequent development of depression after stroke. Vascular burden is associated with cognitive deficits and a specific form of LLD, vascular depression, which is marked by decreased white matter integrity, executive dysfunction, functional disability, and poorer response to antidepressive therapy than major depressive disorder without vascular risk factors. Other pathogenic factors of LLD, such as neurodegeneration or neuroimmune regulatory dysmechanisms, are briefly discussed. Treatment planning should consider a modest response of LLD to antidepressants, while vascular and metabolic factors may provide promising targets for its successful prevention and treatment. However, their effectiveness needs further investigation, and intervention studies are needed to assess which interventions are appropriate and effective in clinical practice.

Abstract
Major depression represents a complex and prevalent psychological disease that is characterized by persistent depressed mood, impaired cognitive function and complicated pathophysiological and neuroendocrine alterations. Despite the multifactorial etiology of depression, one of the most recent factors to be identified as playing a critical role in the development of depression is blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. The occurrence of BBB integrity disruption contributes to the disturbance of brain homeostasis and leads to complications of neurological diseases, such as stroke, chronic neurodegenerative disorders, neuroinflammatory disorders. Recently, BBB associated tight junction disruption has been shown to implicate in the pathophysiology of depression and contribute to increased susceptibility to depression. However, the underlying mechanisms and importance of BBB damage in depression remains largely unknown. This review highlights how BBB disruption regulates the depression process and the possible molecular mechanisms involved in development of depression-induced BBB dysfunction. Moreover, insight on promising therapeutic targets for treatment of depression with associated BBB dysfunctions are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent evidence has associated mood disorders with blood-brain barrier (BBB)/ neurovascular unit (NVU) dysfunction, and reduction in blood vessels coverage by the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) immunoreactive astrocytes. Lithium is an established treatment for mood disorders, yet, its mechanism of action is partially understood. We investigated the effects of lithium on BBB integrity and NVU-related protein expression in chronic mild stress (CMS) rat model of depressive-like behavior. METHODS Male Wistar rats were exposed for 5 weeks to unpredictable mild stressors with daily co-administration of lithium chloride to half of the stressed and unstressed groups. Sucrose preference and open field tests were conducted to validate the depressive-like phenotype, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI analysis was utilized to assess BBB integrity in brain regions relevant to the pathophysiology of depression. Hippocampal AQP4 and claudin-5 expression were studied using immunofluorescence, western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS Lithium administration to the stressed rats prevented the reductions in sucrose preference and distance traveled in the open field, and normalized the stress-induced hippocampal BBB hyperpermeability, whereas lithium administration to the unstressed rats increased hippocampal BBB permeability. Additionally, lithium treatment attenuated the decrease in hippocampal AQP4 to glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity ratio in the stressed rats and upregulated hippocampal claudin-5 and BDNF proteins expression. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that lithium administration in a rat CMS model of depressive-like behavior is associated with attenuation of stressed-induced hippocampal BBB/NVU disruption. These protective effects may be relevant to the mode of action of lithium in depression.

Lack of association between unipolar or bipolar depression and serum aquaporin-4 autoantibodies. Brain Behav Immun 2020; 88:930-934. [PMID: 32380273 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2020.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4), an astrocyte water channel protein, is the target antigen of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibody in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOsd), a group of inflammatory, demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Recently, a reduction in blood vessels coverage by AQP4-immunoreactive astrocytes was demonstrated in depressed patients, indicating a role for AQP4 in mood disorders. Moreover, a possible association between depression and serum AQP4-IgG was suggested in a case report of a treatment resistant depression (TRD) patient diagnosed with NMOsd with positive serum AQP4 autoantibodies. We investigated, for the first time, the presence of serum AQP4-IgG in patients with unipolar and bipolar depression and healthy controls (HCs). In this multicenter study, 25 major depressive disorder (MDD) and 25 bipolar disorder (BD) patients, during an acute major depressive episode (MDE), and 30 matched HCs were screened for the presence of serum AQP4-IgG, using a cell-based assay. The MDE patients underwent a repeated AQP4-IgG assessment at a 3-month follow-up visit. The MDE group (N = 50) had illness duration of 12.7 years (SD = 10.5), 12% of them were psychotropic medication-free and 26% were defined as TRD. All MDE patients and HCs, including three BD patients who experienced a manic switch, were seronegative for AQP4-IgG at baseline and follow-up assessments. In conclusion, contrary to our hypothesis, AQP4 autoantibodies were not detected in serum of unipolar and bipolar depressed patients. However, AQP4 may still play a role in the pathogenesis of mood disorders through different mechanisms of action such as altered brain AQP4 expression.

Abstract
Vascular depression (VD) as defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a unique subtype of late-life depression. The VD hypothesis posits that cerebrovascular disease, as characterized by the presence of MRI-defined white matter hyperintensities, contributes to and increases the risk for depression in older adults. VD is also accompanied by cognitive impairment and poor antidepressant treatment response. The VD diagnosis relies on MRI findings and yet this clinical entity is largely unfamiliar to neuroradiologists and is rarely, if ever, discussed in radiology journals. The primary purpose of this review is to introduce the MRI-defined VD construct to the neuroradiology community. Case reports are highlighted in order to illustrate the profile of VD in terms of radiological, clinical, and neuropsychological findings. A secondary purpose is to elucidate and elaborate on the measurement of cerebrovascular disease through visual rating scales and semi- and fully-automated volumetric methods. These methods are crucial for determining whether lesion burden or lesion severity is the dominant pathological contributor to VD. Additionally, these rating methods have implications for the growing field of computer assisted diagnosis. Since VD has been found to have a profile that is distinct from other types of late-life depression, neuroradiologists, in conjunction with psychiatrists and psychologists, should consider VD in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through the brain parenchyma is facilitated by the astrocytic water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4). Homeostatically regulated electroencephalographic (EEG) slow waves are a hallmark of deep non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and have been implicated in the regulation of parenchymal CSF flow and brain clearance. The human AQP4 gene harbors several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with AQP4 expression, brain-water homeostasis, and neurodegenerative diseases. To date, their role in sleep-wake regulation is unknown. To investigate whether functional variants in AQP4 modulate human sleep, nocturnal EEG recordings and cognitive performance were investigated in 123 healthy participants genotyped for a common eight-SNP AQP4-haplotype. We show that this AQP4-haplotype is associated with distinct modulations of NREM slow wave energy, strongest in early sleep and mirrored by changes in sleepiness and reaction times during extended wakefulness. The study provides the first human evidence for a link between AQP4, deep NREM sleep, and cognitive consequences of prolonged wakefulness.

Abstract
The 9p21.3 chromosomal region is a marker of the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1333049 (chr9:22125504) in the population of Western Siberia (Russia) and possible associations with clinical and biochemical parameters. The population included in the analyses was selected from a sample surveyed within the framework of the Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial Factors In Eastern Europe (HAPIEE) study (9360 participants, >90% white, aged 45-69, males: 50%). In total, 2729 randomly selected patients were included. Plasma lipid levels were determined by standard enzymatic assays. Rs1333049 was analyzed by RT-PCR (BioLabMix, Russia). Frequencies of rs1333049 genotypes C/C (homozygote), C/G (heterozygote), and G/G were 0.22, 0.51, and 0.27 in this population. The Allele G frequency was 0.53. We found an association of allele G with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels among male participants (p = 0.004 and p = 0.002, respectively). Allele C was significantly associated with the risk of myocardial infarction among the male participants (odds ratio 1.96, 95% confidence interval 1.14-3.38, p = 0.017) and the study population (odds ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.23-2.72, p = 0.004). Thus, rs1333049 is associated with myocardial infarction in the white population of Western Siberia (Russia).
