The study found that CGA could alleviate depression-like behaviors and PFC damage induced by restraint stress by reducing corticosterone levels and increasing 5-HT content. Particularly, 100 mg/kg of CGA showed significant protective effects on depression-like behaviors in rats, indicating the potential for further investigation into its mechanism of regulating 5-HT.
The chlorogenic acid (CGA) has a strong neuroprotective ability and cognitive improvement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of CGA on chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced prefrontal cortex (PFC) injury and depression-like behavior. Rats were restrained for 6 h each day to create a CRS paradigm that lasted for 21 days. One hour prior to constraint, CGA (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg) was intragastrically delivered. The results showed that CGA could reduce serum corticosterone (CORT) levels in rats and 100 mg/kg CGA could prevent CRS-induced depression-like behaviors. Histopathological revealed that 100 mg/ kg CGA ameliorated CRS-induced PFC microstructural. Furthermore, 5-HT content was also increased. Therefore, 100 mg/kg of CGA will be used to further probe the molecular mechanism of regulating 5-HT. Observations using transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that CGA reduced CRS-induced PFC synaptic damage. CGA promotes cAMP-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway and inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and serotonin transporter (SRET). Cellular thermal shift assays (CETSA) and molecular docking studies have shown that IDO, SERT and CGA docking have priority potential targets. Together, a protective effect of CGA is seen in rats with CRS-induced PFC by regulating the expression of IDO and SERT and then affecting the effect of 5-HT on the cAMP-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway.
