Pigment epithelium-derived factor may induce antidepressant phenotypes in mice by the prefrontal cortex

Mengge Bai et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the level of PEDF is decreased in the plasma of MDD patients and its overexpression can prevent depressive symptoms. The study also revealed that PEDF exerts its antidepressant effects by regulating the levels of metabolites in the PFC.

Stress-Induced Depression and Alzheimer's Disease: Focus on Astrocytes

Oleg Dolotov et al.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases and depression have complex and poorly understood physiopathology. Astrocytes play a key role in both normal and pathological neuronal functioning. Stress is an important factor in the development of brain disorders and can affect astrocyte function, leading to depression and Alzheimer's disease. The involvement of astrocyte dysfunction in these disorders suggests that astrocytes could be a promising target for treatment.

Downregulation of CRTC1 Is Involved in CUMS-Induced Depression-Like Behavior in the Hippocampus and Its RNA Sequencing Analysis

Dezhu Li et al.

Summary: Chronic stress is a risk factor for mood disorders, and the downregulation of CRTC1 in the hippocampus may be involved in depression-like behavior. Overexpression of CRTC1 in the hippocampus can prevent depression-like behavior induced by stress. The downregulation of CRTC1 may lead to depression-like behavior through neuroinflammation pathway.

Electrophysiological Characteristics of Dorsal Raphe Nucleus in Tail Suspension Test

Liuchang Zhou et al.

Summary: The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is a crucial source of serotonin in the central nervous system and is closely associated with depression-like behaviors. This study reveals that gamma oscillation is linked to despair-like behaviors, while burst fraction is important for survival-like behaviors. Through optogenetics, it was found that serotonin transporter-positive neurons are mostly survival units, and approximately 50% of survival units belong to parvalbumin-positive neurons. These findings provide new insights into the study of anti-depression targets and highlight the role of GABAergic interneurons in the coding and regulation of local neural networks.

Anxiolytic and antidepressants' effect of Crataegus pinnatifida (Shan Zha): biochemical mechanisms

Keren Nitzan et al.

Summary: Depression and anxiety disorders are common, and traditional Chinese medicine can be a safe and effective alternative to conventional drugs. Shan Zha, a herb that is sold as a nutritional supplement, has been found to have similar anxiolytic and antidepressant effects as conventional drugs by activating 5-HT1A receptors and increasing BDNF levels. Its transition to clinical trials may be easier due to its availability as a nutritional supplement.

Grey matter covariation and the role of emotion reappraisal in mental wellbeing and resilience after early life stress exposure

Haeme R. P. Park et al.

Summary: Resilience is a crucial process of adaptive recovery for maintaining mental wellbeing after stress exposure. This study investigated the association between resilience and grey matter covariation (GMC) in healthy adults, with and without early life stress (ELS) exposure, and examined the mediating role of emotion regulation. The findings showed distinct morphometric patterns related to resilience in individuals with ELS exposure. Decreased GMC in the temporo-parietal regions was associated with wellbeing in participants without ELS exposure, while increased patterns of covariation in regions related to salience and executive control networks, as well as decreased GMC in temporo-parietal areas, were associated with resilience in ELS-exposed participants. Cognitive reappraisal mediated the brain-wellbeing relationship only in ELS-exposed participants. The study suggests that stronger GMC in regions associated with emotion and cognitive functioning in ELS-exposed participants with high wellbeing may indicate neural signatures of resilience, potentially enhanced by adaptive emotion regulation.

Zhaojing Wu et al.

Summary: This study explored the potential molecular mechanisms of Gualou Niubang decoction (GLNBD) in the treatment of plasma cell mastitis (PCM) using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The results identified four potential key active components in GLNBD, including quercetin, luteolin, fisetin, and kaempferol, which interacted with specific target genes and modulated the activation of the pathway in cancer, PI3K-Akt pathway, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications. The findings suggest the therapeutic potential of GLNBD in PCM treatment.

Tamas Gaszner et al.

Summary: According to the three hit concept of depression, the interaction of genetic predisposition, altered epigenetic programming, and environmental stress factors contribute to the disease. In this study, fluoxetine treatment was found to reduce anxiety and depression levels in mice, and to cause functional and morphological changes in certain brain regions. These findings provide further support for the validity of the three hit concept and the animal model.
