Blood gene expression profiles associated with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder

ABSTRACT: Prospective epidemiological studies found that generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can impair immune function and increase risk for cardiovascular disease or events. Mechanisms underlying the physiological reververations of anxiety, however, are still elusive. Hence, we aimed to investigate molecular processes mediating effects of anxiety on physical health using blood gene expression profiles of 546 community participants. Of these, 179 met the status of controls and 157 cases of anxiety.

CORT induced anxiety behaviors via P21-ROS pathway

Project description:Anxiety disorders refer to a group of costly psychiatric disorders characterized by feelings of fear, panic and worry and related behavioral disturbances. Up to 275 million people worldwide (4% of the global population) are affected by anxiety disorders, which was ranked 8th of the top 25 leading causes of years lived with disability (YLDs) in 2019. According to a recent article published in the Lancet, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a substantial rise in prevalence of GAD globally, consequently contributing to an elevated disease burden and a deteriorated economic situation. However, around 50% of patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) do not respond to the conventional pharmacological and psychological interventions due to the individual variability. Moreover, the limited accessibility to mental health professionals, the risk of dependence on benzodiazepines and the side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can negatively influence the medication adherence of patients. Hence, there is an urgent need to investigate the underlying pathological mechanisms and develop innovative therapeutic interventions for GAD.

Transgenerational transmission of aspartame induced anxiety and changes in glutamate-GABA signaling and gene expression in the amygdala

Project description:We show that daily exposure of mice to aspartame, an artificial sweetener found in over 5,000 diet foods and drinks at doses equivalent to only 15% of the FDA recommended maximum daily intake for humans produces anxiety. The anxiety is alleviated by diazepam, a drug used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. We completed RNA sequencing of the amygdala of male mice that were exposed to aspartame or plain drinking water (control), as this brain region regulates anxiety and fear. The aspartame exposure produces changes in the expression of genes regulating excitation-inhibition balance in the amygdala. The anxiety, its response to diazepam and the changes in amygdala gene expression are not limited to the aspartame-exposed individuals but also appear in up to two generations descending from the aspartame-exposed males. Thus, aspartame’s neurobehavioral effects are not limited to those who consume it but also impact generations of descendants, a finding that highlights the need for a re-evaluation of current policies on artificial sweetener use.

A central extended amygdala circuit that modulates anxiety

Project description:Both the amygdala and the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) have been implicated in maladaptive anxiety characteristic of anxiety disorders. However, the underlying circuit and cellular mechanisms have remained elusive. Here we show that mice with Erbb4 gene deficiency in somatostatin-expressing (SOM+) neurons exhibit heightened anxiety as measured in the elevated plus maze test and the open field test, two assays commonly used to assess anxiety-related behaviors in rodents. Using a combination of electrophysiological, molecular, genetic and pharmacological techniques we demonstrate that the abnormal anxiety in the mutant mice is caused by enhanced excitatory synaptic inputs onto SOM+ neurons in the central amygdala (CeA), and the resulting reduction in inhibition onto downstream SOM+ neurons in the BNST. Notably, our results indicate that an increase in dynorphin signaling in SOM+ CeA neurons mediates the paradoxical reduction in inhibition onto SOM+ BNST neurons, and that the consequent enhanced activity of SOM+ BNST neurons is both necessary for and sufficient to drive the elevated anxiety. Finally, we show that the elevated anxiety and the associated synaptic dysfunctions and increased dynorphin signaling in the CeA-BNST circuit of the Erbb4 mutant mice can be recapitulated by stress in wild-type mice. Together, our results unravel previously unknown circuit and cellular processes in the central extended amygdala that can cause maladaptive anxiety.

Coordinated excitatory and inhibitory circuits governing unpredictable threat induced anxiety

Project description:Anxiety is elicited by excessive apprehension about unpredictable threats. However, the neural circuit governing unpredictable threat induced anxiety remains unclear. Here, we found ventral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (vBNST) GABAergic neurons displayed selective activation to unpredictable threats by means ofthrough coordinated excitatory input from insular cortex (IC) glutamergic neurons and inhibitory input from lateral nucleus of the amygdala (CeL) somatostatin (SOM) neurons. Using activity-dependent neuronal tagging technology, we found that unpredictable threat responsive cells in vBNST drive freezing and anxiety via projections to ventral lateral periaqueductal grey (vlPAG) and median nucleus of the amygdala (CeM) respectively. Finally, we identified KCNQ3 plays an essential role in hyperactivity of vBNST GABAergic neurons and induced anxiety. These data identified a forward inhibitory circuit that determine the selective activation of vBNST in unpredictable threat and anxiety, and suggest that Kcnq3 KCNQ3 channel acts as a promising target in treatment of anxiety disorder following unpredictable stress.

Prospective associations of text-message-based sentiment with symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety.

Project description:ObjectiveLanguage patterns may elucidate mechanisms of mental health conditions. To inform underlying theory and risk models, we evaluated prospective associations between in vivo text messaging language and differential symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety.MethodsOver 16 weeks, we collected outgoing text messages from 335 adults. Using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), NRC Emotion Lexicon, and previously established depression and stress dictionaries, we evaluated the degree to which language features predict symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, or social anxiety the following week using hierarchical linear models. To isolate the specificity of language effects, we also controlled for the effects of the two other symptom types.ResultsWe found significant relationships of language features, including personal pronouns, negative emotion, cognitive and biological processes, and informal language, with common mental health conditions, including depression, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety (ps < .05). There was substantial overlap between language features and the three mental health outcomes. However, after controlling for other symptoms in the models, depressive symptoms were uniquely negatively associated with language about anticipation, trust, social processes, and affiliation (βs: -.10 to -.09, ps < .05), whereas generalized anxiety symptoms were positively linked with these same language features (βs: .12-.13, ps < .001). Social anxiety symptoms were uniquely associated with anger, sexual language, and swearing (βs: .12-.13, ps < .05).ConclusionLanguage that confers both common (e.g., personal pronouns and negative emotion) and specific (e.g., affiliation, anticipation, trust, and anger) risk for affective disorders is perceptible in prior week text messages, holding promise for understanding cognitive-behavioral mechanisms and tailoring digital interventions.

Gene expression profiling of high (HAB) vs. low (LAB) anxiety-related behavior mice in seven brain regions.

Project description:Investigating the molecular basis and correlates of anxiety-related and depression-like behaviors, we generated a mouse model consisting of high (HAB) and low (LAB) anxiety-related behavior mice. We utilized the elevated plus-maze for testing the genetic predisposition to anxiety-related behavior and, consequently, used this as selection criterion for the inbreeding of our animals. In depression-related tests, HAB mice display a more passive, depression-like coping strategy than LAB mice, resembling clinical comorbidity of anxiety and depression as observed in psychiatric patients. Using a microarray approach, the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the basolateral/lateral (BLA), the medial (MeA) and central amygdala (CeA), the nucleus accumbens (NAc), the cingulate cortex (Cg) and the supraoptic nucleus (SON) – centers of the central nervous anxiety and fear circuitries – were investigated and screened for differences between HAB and LAB mice. Analysis was performed from six animals per line (HAB and LAB, respectively) pooled per brain region in ten technical replicates, thereof five with a dye-swapped design giving a total of 70 array slides analyzed. The LAB mouse line is referred to as reference.
