A role of gut-microbiota-brain axis via subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve in depression-like phenotypes in Chrna7 knock-out mice

Yong Yang et al.

Summary: This study suggests that Chrna7 knockout mice exhibit depression-like behaviors and reduced expression of synaptic proteins in the medial prefrontal cortex through the gut-microbiota-brain axis via the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve. Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy can block these depression-like behaviors and alter the composition of gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites.

Effects of (R)-ketamine on reduced bone mineral density in ovariectomized mice: A role of gut microbiota

Xiayun Wan et al.

Summary: Depression is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and a novel antidepressant (R)-ketamine can improve reduced BMD. This study found that gut microbiota plays a role in the beneficial effects of (R)-ketamine on reducing BMD. Therefore, (R)-ketamine could be a therapeutic drug for depressed patients or patients with osteoporosis.

(R)-ketamine as prophylactic and therapeutic drug for neurological disorders: Beyond depression

Xingming Wang et al.

Summary: Neurological disorders are a major cause of disability and death worldwide, driven by global population growth and aging. Depression is a common symptom in neurological disorders and a risk factor for AD, PD, and stroke. The antidepressant effects of (R,S)-ketamine were accidentally discovered, with (R)-ketamine showing greater potency and longer-lasting effects with lower side effects. Additionally, (R)-ketamine has beneficial effects in rodent models of PD, MS, and stroke. This article reviews the potential of (R)-ketamine as a prophylactic or therapeutic drug for neurological disorders including AD, PD, MS, and stroke.

Reduction in CD11c+ microglia correlates with clinical progression in chronic experimental autoimmune demyelination

Florian Mayrhofer et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease with diverse clinical symptoms and poorly understood mechanisms. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice with mild symptoms were found to progress clinically around 30 days post-EAE induction, with CD11c(+) microglia reduction and parenchymal infiltration playing a role. Sex-dependent differences mediated by p38 alpha signaling were observed, suggesting CD11c(+) microglia may regulate immune cell infiltration in autoimmune demyelination.

Economic Burden of Multiple Sclerosis in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Jalal Dahham et al.

Summary: The study identified and reviewed the cost of illness of multiple sclerosis (MS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), revealing variations in cost estimates mainly due to differences in the inclusion of costs of disease-modifying therapies, methodological choices, and perspectives adopted. Costs increased with disease severity, with similar cost ratios across different levels of MS severity. MS drug costs were the main driver for less severe MS, while direct non-medical costs and indirect costs increased with greater disease severity.

Summary: Depression is highly prevalent in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and can worsen symptoms. Current treatments, including medication, cognitive-behavior therapy, and exercise training, show moderate efficacy but lack a single gold-standard treatment. Combination therapies should be considered for managing depression in MS, although more research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness.

The Gut-Brain Axis in Multiple Sclerosis. Is Its Dysfunction a Pathological Trigger or a Consequence of the Disease?

Benedetta Parodi et al.

Summary: The gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and its murine model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), by modulating immune responses and disease progression through alterations in the gut microbiota. Dysbiosis-induced pro-inflammatory intestinal environment and altered communication with the central nervous system (CNS) may contribute to CNS inflammation in MS and EAE, while neuroinflammation affecting efferent cholinergic transmission could lead to intestinal inflammation as disease progresses.

Targeting the gut to treat multiple sclerosis

Laura Ghezzi et al.

Summary: The gut-brain axis refers to interactions between gut microbiota and nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, potentially playing a role in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis. Studies have shown that pwMS are more likely to exhibit altered microbiota and metabolites, with approaches such as antibiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation showing promising outcomes in preventing CNS inflammation. However, more research is needed to establish consistent results and large-scale randomized controlled trials are lacking in this area.
