Project description:This study aimed to explain the mechanism of ZZCD in treating anxious depression from the perspective of the brain-gut axis by constructing multiple connections between the nucleus accumbent (NAc) and intestinal flora in anxiety-depressed mice.
Project description:Study exploring the neuroactive potential of the human gut microbiota in relation to quality of life and depression. This dataset includes shotgun sequenced samples from the FGFP (Flemish Gut Flora Project: N=150) and TR-MDD (Treatment-Resistant Major Depression Disorder: N=7). Samples were provided by volunteers from the Flanders region in Belgium, and the dataset is balanced for age, gender, and stool consistency.

Project description:Major depressive disorder is caused by gene-environment interactions and the gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the development of depression. However, the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota modulates depression remain elusive. Herein, we detected the differentially expressed hippocampal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) between mice inoculated with gut microbiota from major depressive disorder patients or healthy controls, to identify the effects of gut microbiota-dysbiosis on gene regulation patterns at the transcriptome level. We also performed functional analysis to explore the microbial-regulated pathological mechanisms of depression. Two hundred mRNAs, 358 lncRNAs and 4 miRNAs were differentially expressed between the two groups. Functional analysis of these differentially expressed mRNAs indicated dysregulated inflammatory response to be the primary pathological change. Intersecting the differentially expressed mRNAs with targets of differentially expressed miRNAs identified 47 intersected mRNAs, which were mainly related to neurodevelopment. Additionally, we constructed a microbial-regulated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on RNA-RNA interactions. According to the competitive endogenous RNA hypothesis, two neurodevelopmental ceRNA sub-networks implicating in depression were identified. This study provides new understanding of the pathogenesis of depression induced by gut microbiota-dysbiosis and may act as a theoretical basis for the development of gut microbiota-based antidepressants.

Project description:The gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that inhabit the digestive tract. These communities are sensitive to disruption from environmental exposures ranging from diet changes to illness. Disruption of the community of lactic acid producing bacteria, Lactobaccillacea, has been well documented in mood disorders and stress exposure. In fact, oral supplement with many Lactobacillus species can ameliorate these effects, preventing depression- and anxiety-like behavior. Here, we utilize a gnotobiotic mouse colonized with the Altered Schaedler Flora to remove the two native species of Lactobaccillacea. Using this novel microbial community, we found that the Lactobacillus species themselves, and not the disrupted microbial communities are protective from environmental stressors. Further, we determine that Lactobaccillacea are maintaining homeostatic IFNγ levels which are mediating these behavioral and circuit level responses. By utilizing the Altered Schaedler Flora, we have gained new insight into how probiotics influence behavior and provide novel methods to study potential therapies to treat mood disorders.
