BGP-15 alleviates LPS-induced depression-like behavior by promoting mitophagy
In this study, an MDD model was established in mice using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Our research findings demonstrated that LPS exposure induced depressive-like behaviors and disrupted mitophagy by diminishing the mitochondrial levels of PINK1/Parkin in the brains of mice. Furthermore, LPS exposure evoked the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, accompanied by a notable elevation in the concentrations of pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). Additionally, neuronal apoptosis was stimulated through the JNK/p38 pathway. The administration of BGP-15 effectively nullified the impact of LPS, corresponding to the ...

The antidepressant effect of whole-body hyperthermia is associated with the classical interleukin-6 signaling pathway
The objective of the study was to determine whether activation of the classical anti-inflammatory interleukin-6 signaling pathways is associated with the antidepressant effects of whole-body hyperthermia. A 6-week, randomized, double-blind study compared whole-body hyperthermia with a sham condition in a university-based medical center. Medically healthy participants aged 18-65 years who met criteria for major depressive disorder, were free of psychotropic medication use, and had a baseline 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score ≥ 16 were randomized with 1-to-1 allocation in blocks of 6 to receive whole-body hype...

Shared molecular mechanisms and transdiagnostic potential of neurodevelopmental disorders and immune disorders

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe co-occurrence and familial clustering of neurodevelopmental disorders and immune disorders suggest shared genetic risk factors. Based on genome-wide association summary statistics from five neurodevelopmental disorders and four immune disorders, we conducted genome-wide, local genetic correlation and polygenic overlap analysis. We further performed a cross-trait GWAS meta-analysis. Pleotropic loci shared between the two categories of diseases were mapped to candidate genes using multiple algorithms and ap...

Enteral plasma supports brain repair in newborn pigs after birth asphyxia
We present a new clinically relevant animal model of moderate birth asphyxia inducing structural and functional brain damage. The components in plasma that support brain repair remain to be identified but may represent a therapeutic potential for infants and animals after birth asphyxia.PMID:38677626 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbi.2024.04.032 (Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity)

Examining the associations between microglia genetic capacity, early life exposures and white matter development at the level of the individual
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Apr 25:S0889-1591(24)00387-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.04.038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are inter-individual differences in susceptibility to the influence of early life experiences for which the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Microglia play a role in environmental surveillance and may influence individual susceptibility to environmental factors. As an index of neurodevelopment, we estimated individual slopes of mean white matter fractional anisotropy (WM-FA) across three time-points (age 4.5, 6.0, and 7.5 years) for 351 participants. Individual variation in m...
