Molecular insights into the therapeutic promise of targeting HMGB1 in depression

Tarapati Rana et al.

Summary: Depression is a common psychiatric disorder with unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that immune dysregulation and increased proinflammatory cytokines may be associated with its development. HMGB1, as a central player in innate immune responses and inflammation-related diseases, plays a significant role in neuroinflammation underlying depression.

Microglia in depression: current perspectives

Xiaoning Jia et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the role of microglia in the etiology of depression, discussing the dynamic states of microglia, the correlative and causal evidence of microglial abnormalities in depression, possible mechanisms of how microglia sense depression-related stress and modulate depression state, and how antidepressive therapies affect microglia. Understanding the role of microglia in depression may lead to new treatment strategies for fighting against this mental illness.

Minocycline alleviates depression-like symptoms by rescuing decrease in neurogenesis in dorsal hippocampus via blocking microglia activation/phagocytosis

Ben Bassett et al.

Summary: Minocycline shows promising results in alleviating depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic mild stress, potentially by directly acting on microglia to reduce their phagocytic potential and reverse the pathogenic phagocytic potential of neurotoxic M1 microglia. This mechanism may help reduce negative phenotypes associated with reduced neurogenesis caused by exposure to chronic stress.

Higher levels of serum IL-1β and TNF-α are associated with an increased probability of major depressive disorder

Rajesh Das et al.

Summary: The study found that serum IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha levels are increased in MDD patients and are positively correlated with the severity of depression. Elevated levels of serum IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha could potentially be used as risk assessment indicators for depression.

Antidepressant-like effects of helicid on a chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression rat model: Inhibiting the IKK/IκBα/NF-κB pathway through NCALD to reduce inflammation

Yuan-xiang Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that helicid can alleviate depressive-like behaviors in rats exposed to CUMS through the mediation of the NCALD gene, demonstrating its antidepressant effects through various biochemical markers and highlighting its mechanism of regulating neuro-inflammation and the NF-κB pathway.

Effects of Antidepressant Treatment on Peripheral Biomarkers in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Anna Mosiolek et al.

Summary: Major depressive disorder is a prevalent mental illness worldwide, with more than 30% of patients not achieving remission through conventional therapy. Inflammation and disturbed neurogenesis are implicated in the pathophysiology of depression, with potential involvement of neurotrophic factors in patient recovery. The influence of antidepressants on inflammatory cytokines and neurotrophins remains inconsistent, with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin and noradrenaline inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants showing possible anti-inflammatory properties. Further research is needed to determine the role of inflammatory markers in predicting treatment response in MDD.

Potential effects of HMGB1 on viral replication and virus infection-induced inflammatory responses: A promising therapeutic target for virus infection-induced inflammatory diseases

Xiuyan Ding et al.

Summary: Inflammatory responses play a crucial role in protecting the host against invading pathogens, but excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines can lead to severe tissue damage. HMGB1, as a potential host factor, is manipulated by distinct viruses through various mechanisms to regulate viral diseases.
