Abstract
Micronutrient deficiencies and excesses are closely related to developing and treating depression. Traditional and effective antidepressants include tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and lithium. There is no consensus on the fluctuation of zinc (Zn2+), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), copper (Cu2+), iron (Fe2+), and manganese (Mn2+) ion levels in depressed individuals before and after therapy. In order to determine whether there were changes in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of these ions in depressed patients compared with healthy controls and depressed patients treated with TCAs, SSRIs, or lithium, we applied a systematic review and meta-analysis. Using the Stata 17.0 software, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the changes in ion levels in human samples from healthy controls, depressive patients, and patients treated with TCAs, SSRIs, and lithium, respectively. By searching the PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WAN FANG databases, 75 published analyzable papers were chosen. In the blood, the levels of Zn2+ and Mg2+ in depressed patients had decreased while the Ca2+ and Cu2+ levels had increased compared to healthy controls, Fe2+ and Mn2+ levels have not significantly changed. After treatment with SSRIs, the levels of Zn2+ and Ca2+ in depressed patients increased while Cu2+ levels decreased. Mg2+ and Ca2+ levels were increased in depressed patients after Lithium treatment. The findings of the meta-analysis revealed that micronutrient levels were closely associated with the onset of depression and prompted more research into the underlying mechanisms as well as the pathophysiological and therapeutic implications.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Activities, Antidepressant Effect, and Lipid Peroxidation of Peruvian Blueberry: Molecular Docking Studies on Targets Involved in Oxidative Stress and Depression. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1643. [PMID: 38931078 PMCID: PMC11207408 DOI: 10.3390/plants13121643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) are cultivated worldwide and are among the best dietary sources of bioactive compounds with beneficial health effects. This study aimed to investigate the components of Peruvian blueberry using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS), identifying 11 compounds. Furthermore, we assessed in vitro the antioxidant activity and in vivo the antidepressant effect using a rat model and protective effect on lipid peroxidation (in the serum, brain, liver, and stomach). We also conducted molecular docking simulations with proteins involved in oxidative stress and depression for the identified compounds. Antioxidant activity was assessed by measuring total phenolic and flavonoid contents, as well as using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazin (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid (ABTS•+), and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Peruvian blueberries demonstrated higher antioxidant activity than Vaccinium corymbosum fruits from Chile, Brazil, the United States, Turkey, Portugal, and China. The results showed that oral administration of Peruvian blueberries (10 and 20 mg/kg) for 28 days significantly (p < 0.001) increased swimming and reduced immobility in the forced swimming test (FST). Additionally, at doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg, oxidative stress was reduced in vivo (p < 0.001) by decreasing lipid peroxidation in brain, liver, stomach, and serum. Molecular docking and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) predictions were performed. In the molecular docking studies, quercitrin and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid showed the best docking scores for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, superoxide dismutase, and xanthine oxidase; while 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester and caffeoyl coumaroylquinic acid had the best docking scores for monoamine oxidase and serotonin receptor 5-HT2. In summary, our results suggest that the antidepressant and protective effects against lipid peroxidation might be related to the antioxidant activity of Peruvian Vaccinium corymbosum L.

Weak base drug-induced endolysosome iron dyshomeostasis controls the generation of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial depolarization, and cytotoxicity. NEUROIMMUNE PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS 2024; 3:33-46.

Abstract
Objectives Approximately 75 % of marketed drugs have the physicochemical property of being weak bases. Weak-base drugs with relatively high pKa values enter acidic organelles including endosomes and lysosomes (endolysosomes), reside in and de-acidify endolysosomes, and induce cytotoxicity. Divalent cations within endolysosomes, including iron, are released upon endolysosome de-acidification. Endolysosomes are "master regulators of iron homeostasis", and neurodegeneration is linked to ferrous iron (Fe2+)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation via Fenton chemistry. Because endolysosome de-acidification-induced lysosome-stress responses release endolysosome Fe2+, it was crucial to determine the mechanisms by which a functionally and structurally diverse group of weak base drugs including atropine, azithromycin, fluoxetine, metoprolol, and tamoxifen influence endolysosomes and cause cell death. Methods Using U87MG astrocytoma and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, we conducted concentration-response relationships for 5 weak-base drugs to determine EC50 values. From these curves, we chose pharmacologically and therapeutically relevant concentrations to determine if weak-base drugs induced lysosome-stress responses by de-acidifying endolysosomes, releasing endolysosome Fe2+ in sufficient levels to increase cytosolic and mitochondria Fe2+ and ROS levels and cell death. Results Atropine (anticholinergic), azithromycin (antibiotic), fluoxetine (antidepressant), metoprolol (beta-adrenergic), and tamoxifen (anti-estrogen) at pharmacologically and therapeutically relevant concentrations (1) de-acidified endolysosomes, (2) decreased Fe2+ levels in endolysosomes, (3) increased Fe2+ and ROS levels in cytosol and mitochondria, (4) induced mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and (5) increased cell death; effects prevented by the endocytosed iron-chelator deferoxamine. Conclusions Weak-base pharmaceuticals induce lysosome-stress responses that may affect their safety profiles; a better understanding of weak-base drugs on Fe2+ interorganellar signaling may improve pharmacotherapeutics.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe brain condition associated with a significantly high incidence and mortality. As a consequence of SAH, early brain injury (EBI) may contribute to poor SAH patient outcomes. Apoptosis is a signaling pathway contributing to post-SAH early brain injury and the diagnosis of the disease. Fluoxetine is a well-studied serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). However, its role in apoptosis has not been clearly understood. The present investigation assessed the effects of Fluoxetine in apoptosis and the potential Notch1/ASK1/p38 MAPK signaling pathway in EBI after SAH. Adult C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to SAH. Study mice (56) were randomly divided into 4 groups: the surgery without SAH (sham (n = 8), SAH+ vehicle; (SAH+V) (n = 16), surgery+ Fluoxetine (Fluox), (n = 16) and SAH+ Fluoxetine (n = 16). Various parameters were investigated 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after induction of SAH. Western blot analysis, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), and flow cytometry were carried out in every experimental group. According to the findings, the SAH downregulated NOTCH1 signaling pathway, Jlk6 inhibited Notch1, Notch1 inactivation increased apoptotic protein expression and suppressed Bax, and cytochrome C. Fluoxetine reversed the effects of notch1 inhibition in SAH. The Neuroprotective Fluoxetine effects involved suppression of apoptosis post-SAH. In summary, early Fluoxetine treatment significantly attenuates apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins after 72 h post-SAH. Fluoxetine may ameliorate early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage through anti-apoptotic effects and Notch1/ASK1/p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Redox-active metal ions, Cu(I/II) and Fe(II/III), are essential biological molecules for the normal functioning of the brain, including oxidative metabolism, synaptic plasticity, myelination, and generation of neurotransmitters. Dyshomeostasis of these redox-active metal ions in the brain could cause Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Thus, regulating the levels of Cu(I/II) and Fe(II/III) is necessary for normal brain function. To control the amounts of metal ions in the brain and understand the involvement of Cu(I/II) and Fe(II/III) in the pathogenesis of AD, many chemical agents have been developed. In addition, since toxic aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) have been proposed as one of the major causes of the disease, the mechanism of clearing Aβ is also required to be investigated to reveal the etiology of AD clearly. Multiple metalloenzymes (e.g., neprilysin, insulin-degrading enzyme, and ADAM10) have been reported to have an important role in the degradation of Aβ in the brain. These amyloid degrading enzymes (ADE) could interact with redox-active metal ions and affect the pathogenesis of AD. In this review, we introduce and summarize the roles, distributions, and transportations of Cu(I/II) and Fe(II/III), along with previously invented chelators, and the structures and functions of ADE in the brain, as well as their interrelationships.
