The basolateral amygdala-anterior cingulate pathway contributes to depression-like behaviors and comorbidity with chronic pain behaviors in male mice

ABSTRACT: While depression and chronic pain are frequently comorbid, underlying neuronal circuits, and their relevance for the understanding of psychopathology, remain poorly defined. Here we show in mice that hyperactivity of the neuronal pathway linking the basolateral amygdala to the anterior cingulate cortex is essential for chronic pain-induced depression. In naive male mice, we demonstrate that activation of this pathway is sufficient to trigger depressive-like behaviors, as well as transcriptomic alterations that recapitulate core molecular features of depression in the human brain. These alterations notably impact gene modules related to myelination and the oligodendrocyte lineage. Among these, we show that Sema4a, a hub gene significantly upregulated in both male mice and humans in the context of altered mood, is necessary for the emergence of depressive-like behaviors. Overall, these results place the BLA-ACC pathway at the core of pain and depression comorbidity, and unravel the role of impaired myelination and Sema4a in mood control.

Molecular mechanism for stress-induced depression assessed by sequencing miRNA and mRNA in medial prefrontal cortex (miRNA)

Project description:Major depressive disorder is a common mood disorder. Chronic stressful life is presumably main etiology that leads to the neuron and synapse atrophies in the limbic system. However, the intermediate molecules from stress to neural atrophy remain elusive. Mice were treated by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) until demonstrating depression-like behaviors confirmed by the tests of sucrose preference, forced swimming and Y-maze. The sequencings of microRNA and mRNA from the medial prefrontal cortices were performed in CUMS-induced depression mice versus control mice to assess the molecular profiles of major depressive disorder. In the medial prefrontal cortices of depression-like mice, the levels of mRNAs that translated the proteins for the GABAergic synapses, dopaminergic synapses, myelination, synaptic vesicle cycle and neuronal growth were downregulated. miRNAs of regulating these mRNAs are upregulated. The deterioration of GABAergic and dopaminergic synapses as well as axonal growth is associated to CUMS-induced depression.

Anterior cingulate cortex mediates the comorbidity between colorectal cancer and depression-like behaviors

Project description:In this study, we established mice with orthotopic colorectal cancer (CRC mice) and observed depression-like behaviors in the CRC mice. Through whole-brain c-FOS mapping, functional connectivity analysis, gut-brain inverse mapping, and correlation analysis, combined with chemogenetic manipulation, we identified the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as a key hub in the depression-related brain network. we performed whole transcriptome sequencing of key neural nuclei to identify molecular changes associated with CRC-depression comorbidity. Furthermore, chemogenetic modulation of neuronal excitability not only alleviated depression-like behavior but also reduced CRC progression in these mice. Importantly, our findings suggest that targeting the ACC, in addition to conventional colorectal cancer therapies, could offer therapeutic and quality-of-life benefits for patients with both CRC and depression.

Npbwr1 signaling mediates fast antidepressant action

Project description:Chronic stress is a major risk factor for depression, a leading cause of disability and suicide. Because current antidepressants work slowly, have common side effects, and are only effective in a minority of patients, there is an unmet need to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we identify the receptor for neuropeptides B and W, Npbwr1, as a key regulator of depressive-like symptoms. Npbwr1 is increased in the nucleus accumbens of chronically stressed mice and postmortem in patients diagnosed with depression. Using viral-mediated gene transfer, we demonstrate a causal link between Npbwr1, dendritic spine morphology, the biomarker Bdnf, and depressive-like behaviors. Importantly, microinjection of the synthetic antagonist of Npbwr1, CYM50769, rapidly ameliorates depressive-like behavioral symptoms and alters Bdnf levels. CYM50769 is selective, well tolerated, and shows effects up to 7 days after administration of a single dose. In summary, these findings advance our understanding of mood and chronic stress and warrant further investigation of CYM50769 as a potential fast-acting antidepressant.

Transthyretin orchestrates vitamin B12-induced stress resilience

Project description:Background: Chronic stress significantly contributes to mood- and anxiety disorders. Previous data suggest a correlative connection between vitamin B12 supplementation, depression, and stress resilience. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Methods: Using the chronic variable stress mouse model coupled with RNA-sequencing, we determined vitamin B12-induced transcriptional changes related to stress resilience. By viral-mediated gene transfer and in vivo epigenome editing, we reveal a functional pathway linking vitamin B12, DNA methylation, and depressive-like symptoms. Results: We identified Transthyretin (Ttr) as a sex-specific key target of vitamin B12 action in chronic stress. Accordingly, TTR expression was increased postmortem in the prefrontal cortex of male, but not female, depressed patients. Virally altered Ttr in the prefrontal cortex functionally contributed to stress- and depression-related behaviors, changes in dendritic spine morphology, and gene expression. In stressed mice, vitamin B12 reduced DNAme in the Ttr promoter region. Importantly, using in vivo epigenome editing to alter DNAme in the brains of living mice for the first time, we establish a direct causal link between DNAme on Ttr and stress-associated behaviors. Discussion: In summary, using state-of-the-art techniques, this study uncovers a mechanistic link between cobalamin supplementation, Ttr, and markers of chronic stress and depression, encouraging further studies into dietary interventions for mood disorders.

Antenatal Blood DNA Methylation Profiles

Project description:DNA methylation profiles were generating using Illumina HM450 microarrays in a prospective sample blood from the prenatal period of pregnant mood disorder patients who would and would not develop depression post partum. We recruited 54 pregnant women with a history of either Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder (I, II or NOS) and prospectively followed them during pregnancy and after delivery in order to identify genetic and clinical characteristics that precede the development of a postpartum depressive episode. Blood samples profiled were collected at varying time points during pregnancy.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Alleviate Depressive and Anxiety-like Behaviors via a Lung Vagal-to-Brain Axis in Male Mice

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common and disabling mental disorders, and current strategies remain inadequate. Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in experimental models of depression, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using murine depression models, we demonstrated that MSCs could alleviate depressive and anxiety-like behaviors not due to a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines, but rather activation of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons. Mechanistically, peripheral delivery of MSCs activated pulmonary innervating vagal sensory neurons, which projected to the nucleus tractus solitarius, inducing the release of 5-HT in DRN. Furthermore, MSC-secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor activated lung sensory neurons through tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and inhalation of a TrkB agonist also achieved significant therapeutic effects in male mice. This study reveals a role of peripheral MSCs in regulating central nervous system function and demonstrates a potential "lung vagal-to-brain axis" strategy for MDD.
