abstract = "Systemic exposure to inflammatory challenges, such as lipopolysaccharide
(LPS), can induce a central neuroinflammation, which has been associated
with the development of major depressive disorder (MDD). Research data
emphasize not only sex as an important factor in the pathogenesis of MDD
but also point out a disturbance in cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5)
pathway. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of LPS
treatment on depressive-like behavior as well as on the CDK5 and p35
levels in the cytosol and the nucleus of the prefrontal cortex of Wistar rats.
Our results showed that LPS causes a depressive-like behavior in both
sexes, as well as significant changes in the levels of CDK5 and p35, but
only in the males. Such differences of CDK5 activity could contribute to the
development of depressive-like behavior in males, while in females it seems
that some other mechanisms could be involved in the induction of this
behavior.",
