Minocycline, a classic antibiotic, exerts psychotropic effects by normalizing microglial neuroinflammation-evoked tryptophan-kynurenine pathway dysregulation in chronically stressed male mice

Dan Cheng et al.

Summary: This study found that minocycline can improve cognitive and mood disorders caused by chronic stress and regulate the distribution of specific chemicals in the brain, thus restoring the chemical imbalance caused by neuroinflammation. This finding is of great significance for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, depression, and neurodegenerative disorders.

The therapeutic role of ketamine and esketamine in treating psychopathological domains of depression

Muhammad Youshay Jawad et al.

Summary: Ketamine has emerged as a novel and effective antidepressant, with the potential to improve various domains of depressive symptomatology. While its effectiveness in reducing depression severity is well-studied, more research is needed to explore its effects on cognition, anhedonia, suicidality, and psychosocial functionality. Findings suggest that ketamine is most effective in reducing suicidality but further studies are required to assess its effectiveness in other domains.

Microglial ERK-NRBP1-CREB-BDNF signaling in sustained antidepressant actions of (R)-ketamine

Wei Yao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that (R)-ketamine exerts its antidepressant-like effects through activation of the ERK-NRBP1-CREB-BDNF pathway in microglia. By increasing the expression of NRBP1, BDNF, and p-CREB/CREB ratio, as well as promoting BDNF transcription and suppressing MeCP2 in microglia, (R)-ketamine demonstrates prolonged antidepressant effects compared to (S)-ketamine. Additionally, microglial depletion or inhibition using specific inhibitors blocked the antidepressant-like effects of (R)-ketamine in susceptible mice, indicating the importance of microglia in mediating the antidepressant actions of (R)-ketamine.

Neuron-Microglia Contact-Dependent Mechanisms Attenuate Methamphetamine-Induced Microglia Reactivity and Enhance Neuronal Plasticity

Joana Bravo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the interaction between neurons and glial cells in the activation of microglia in response to methamphetamine. Neurons require astrocyte mediation to activate microglia, and they can partially prevent methamphetamine-induced microglia activation through increased expression of arginase 1 and strengthening of the CD200/CD200r pathway. Contact-dependent mechanisms between neurons and microglia attenuate pro-inflammatory events associated with methamphetamine-induced microglia activation.

Stress induced microglial activation contributes to depression

Bingjin Li et al.

Summary: This article discusses the candidate mechanisms by which stress can lead to dysregulated microglia, which in turn contribute to the pathogenesis of depressive disorders. It suggests that changes in microglial function can strongly influence neuronal network activity through dysregulated cytokine secretion and increased release of neurotoxic metabolites, thereby contributing to pathological outcomes in response to stress.

Microglia modulate gliotransmission through the regulation ofVAMP2proteins in astrocytes

Fuyuko Takata-Tsuji et al.

Summary: Vesicular release plays a crucial role in neurotransmission, with neurons releasing neurotransmitters rapidly and synchronously, while astrocytes modulate neurotransmission through the slower release of various transmitters. Microglia regulate astrocytic gliotransmission by influencing SNARE proteins, impacting the kinetics and overall release of gliotransmitters by astrocytes. This interaction between microglia and astrocytes may have implications for central nervous system diseases involving microglial activation.

Summary: Intranasal administration of LPS prior to stress exposure can prevent chronic social defeat stress-induced depression and anxiety-like behaviors, as well as reduce neuroinflammatory responses in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. This suggests that innate immune stimulation via intranasal administration could be a potential approach for the prevention of depression and anxiety.

Summary: Minocycline shows promising potential in preventing or alleviating peripheral nerve adhesion through anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis, and myelination protective effects. The study reveals that minocycline promotes regulatory macrophage polarization while inhibiting pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization, suggesting its effectiveness in treating adhesion-related disorders. Mechanism studies also indicate that minocycline regulates the TAK1 pathway to reduce inflammatory factor expression and enhance anti-inflammatory cytokine expression.
