AB  - Recent reports have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depressive-like behaviour is mediated via NMDA receptor. In this study, we further investigated the role of GluN2 A subunit of NMDA receptor in synaptic processes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus of GluN2 A knockout (KO) mice in LPS-induced depressive-like behavior. Our data suggest that LPS-treated mice, lacking GluN2 A subunit, did not exhibit depressive-like behaviour. This was accompanied by unaltered levels of IL-6 and significant changes in neuroplasticity markers and glutamate receptor subunits composition in PFC and hippocampus. In particular, an immune challenge in GluN2 A KO mice resulted in unchanged PSA-NCAM levels and proBDNF increase in both brain structures as well as in increase in BDNF levels in hippocampus. Furthermore, the absence of GluN2 A resulted in increased levels of all NCAM isoforms in PFC upon LPS which was followed with a decrease in GluN1 and GluN2B subunits. The levels of AMPA receptor subunits (GluA1, GluA3, and GluA4) in the hippocampus of GluN2 A mice were unaltered upon the treatment and abundantly present in the PFC of KO mice. These results indicate that the GluN2 A subunit is critical in neuroinflammation-related depression, that its absence abolishes LPS-induced depressive phenotype, sustains PSA-NCAM levels, increases proBDNF signalling in the PFC and hippocampus and potentiates synaptic stabilization through NCAM in the PFC upon an immune challenge. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Childhood trauma (CT) increases the risk for psychopathology through disturbed acquisition and extinction of fear. The effects of CT are mediated by abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Since, the alterations in GRα translational isoforms have been documented in psychiatric disorders we sought to: 1) explore whether multiple GRα isoforms in the human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of two independent cohorts (whole cell n = 40; and nuclear extracts n = 43, adult subjects) mediate the effect of CT on negative affectivity (NA) measured by Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS), and 2) examine their role/function during fear extinction in the animal model. In multiple regression analysis, CT, nuclear 40-kDa GRα their interactions and FKBP5 explained 22%–35% of variance in DASS scores. Structural equation modeling showed that CT had a significant direct effect on 40-kDa and DASS in both cohorts, and on the nuclear 25-kDa GRα. The association between 40-kDa and total DASS was significantly mediated by nuclear FKBP5, whereas on DASS anxiety, over FKBP5 in both cohorts and nuclear full length GRα. Nuclear 40-kDa GRα and its interaction with CT had a significant direct effect on DASS anxiety. In mice, the successful extinction learning was followed by nuclear translocation of 40-kDa GRα and induction of BDNF exon IV expression. Our data revealed that the association between CT and adult NA in non-clinical subjects is mediated by the GRα translational isoforms, in particular 40-kDa GRα and emphasized its role in fear extinction and neural plasticity. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

AB  - Mitochondrial dysfunction can result from the interplay between elevated inflammatory markers and alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and can contribute to pathogenesis of major depression. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) could be associated with alterations in mitochondrial apoptotic signaling in the prefrontal cortex of male and female Wistar rats with depressive-like behavior. To that end, we measured LPS-induced alterations in the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways in mitochondria and cytosol of PFC of female and male rats, as well as the levels of cleaved cytosolic PARP-1. We also measured the mitochondrial levels of GR and its phosphoisoforms pGR232 and pGR246, as well as the mRNA levels of two GR-regulated mitochondrial genes, COX-1 and COX-3. We discovered that although seven-day LPS treatment evoked depressive-like behavior and induced apoptosis in the PFC of both sexes, it affected apoptotic cascades in both sexes differently. In females the treatment initiated both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic cascade, while in males only intrinsic cascade was engaged. Alterations in intrinsic apoptotic pathway were more associated with GR alterations in males, where LPS treatment decreased levels of mitochondrial GR and increased pGR232/pGR246 ratio. Alterations in mitochondrial GR could be associated with changes in expression of genes involved in oxidative metabolism in the PFC of this sex, and could, in combination with elevated levels of BCL-2 and decreased levels of BAX detected in this cell fraction, mitigate the detrimental effect of LPS on mitochondria in male PFC. © 2019

AB  - In 2012, alcohol liver disease resulted in 3.3 million—5.9% of global deaths. This study introduced whey protection capacity against chronic alcohol-induced liver injury. Rats were orally administered to 12% ethanol solution in water (ad libitum, average 8.14 g of ethanol/kg body weight (b.w.)/day) alone or combined with whey (per os, 2 g/kg b.w./day). After 6-week treatment, chronic ethanol consumption induced significant histopathological liver changes: congestion, central vein dilation, hepatic portal vein branch dilation, Kupffer cells hyperplasia, fatty liver changes, and hepatocytes focal necrosis. Ethanol significantly increased liver catalase activity and glutathione reductase protein expression without significant effects on antioxidative enzymes: glutathione peroxidase (GPx), copper–zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Co-treatment with whey significantly attenuated pathohistological changes induced by ethanol ingestion and increased GSH-Px and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) protein expression. Our results showed positive effects of whey on liver chronically exposed to ethanol, which seem to be associated with NF-κB-GPx signaling. © The Author(s) 2019.

AB  - We studied the effects of whey and pumpkin seed oil supplementation on the biochemical parameters in blood serum of male rats after chronic ad libitum alcohol consumption. The levels of AST, ALT, total bilirubin, ALP, LDH, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglyceride/HDL ratio, total cholesterol/HDL ratio (cholesterol ratio) and LDL/HDL ratio (index of atherosclerosis) were determined in rats after six weeks of treatment with: (i) ethanol (12% ethanol, ad libitum), (ii) whey (2 g/kg per day), (iii) pumpkin seed oil (2 mL/kg per day), (iv) both ethanol and whey, and (v) both ethanol and pumpkin seed oil. The results showed no changes in the levels of AST, ALT, total bilirubin, ALP, total cholesterol, HDL and VLDL in alcoholic rats when compared to the controls (fed with a standard laboratory diet ad libitum) and rats supplemented with whey and pumpkin seed oil. Our results suggest that alcohol consumption in small doses for 6 weeks changes lipid metabolism and significantly elevates the LDL/HDL ratio (index of atherosclerosis) but does not induce extensive liver damage. Ethanol consumption in our experimental conditions lowered the triglyceride level as well as the triglyceride/HDL ratio, suggesting lipid redistribution and the induction of some cardio-protective effect. However, ethanol induced a higher index of atherosclerosis. Pumpkin seed oil showed some protective potential in alcoholic rats by lowering the total cholesterol/HDL ratio, but it elevated the LDH. Whey consumption prevented elevation of the atherosclerosis index, pointing to its protective role, probably through the redistribution of lipids. However, whey in combination with ethanol elevated LDH.

AB  - The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of peroral chromium administration on the on high-yielding cows metabolism during the period of late gestation and early lactation, as well as its impact on milk yield. Thirty days before the expected time of parturition, 20 Holstein cows were chosen and divided into two equal groups: control (–Cr) and experimental (+Cr). From day 25 before expected time of parturition up to day 30 after parturition, +Cr received 10 mg of Cr or 5 g per day in the form of chromium-enriched yeast (0.2 % Cr3+ Co-factor III chromium yeast, Alltech).Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed on a 12 cows (n = 6 cows per group) four times during the examined period, on days 28th and 7th before the expected time of parturition, as well as on the 10th and 30th day after calving. The blood was taken at 0., 15., 30., 60., 90., 120. minutes of the test to determine the glucose and insulin levels.Using the data obtained during IVGTT, kinetics of glucose and insulin were also performed. The concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), BHBA (beta hydroxybutyric acid), total proteins, albumin, urea, cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), total bilirubin (ТВ), Mg, Ca, P and cortisol, as well as activities of AST and GGT were measured in blood samples taken at minute 0. of IVGTT. In order to examine the peripheral tissue insulin resistance, RQUICKI (Revised Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index) was calculated. Muscle and adipose tissue samples were taken by biopsy four times during the trial period, 30 and 10 days before the expected time of parturition as well as on the day 7th and 28th day after calving, in time when the body condition score (BCS) was also determined. Hepatic tissue samples were taken twice during the trial period, 10 days before expected time of parturition, and 7 days after calving in order to determine the protein expression of the insulin signal pathway molecules. Milk yield wasrecorded during the first 14 weeks of lactation...

AB  - Background: Mounting evidence demonstrates enhanced systemic levels of inflammatory mediators in depression, indicating that inflammation may play a role in the etiology and course of mood disorders. Indeed, proinflammatory cytokines induce a behavioral state of conservation- withdrawal resembling human depression, characterized by negative mood, fatigue, anhedonia, psychomotor retardation, loss of appetite, and cognitive deficits. Neuroinflammation also contributes to non-responsiveness to current antidepressant (AD) therapies. Namely, response to conventional AD medications is associated with a decrease in inflammatory biomarkers, whereas resistance to treatment is accompanied by increased inflammation. Methods: In this review, we will discuss the utility and shortcomings of pharmacologic AD treatment strategies focused on inflammatory pathways, applied alone or as an adjuvant component to current AD therapies. Results: Mechanisms of cytokine actions on behavior involve activation of inflammatory pathways in the brain, resulting in changes of neurotransmitter metabolism, neuroendocrine function, and neuronal plasticity. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors exhibit the most beneficial effects in restraining the inflammation markers in depression. Different anti-inflammatory agents exhibit AD effects via modulating neurotransmitter systems, neuroplasticity markers and glucocorticoid receptor signaling. Anti-inflammatory add-on therapy in depression highlights such treatment as a candidate for enhancement strategy in patients with moderate-to-severe depression. Conclusion: The interactions between the immune system and CNS are not only involved in shaping behavior, but also in responding to therapeutics. Even though, substantial evidence from animal and human research support a beneficial effect of anti-inflammatory add-on therapy in depression, further research with special attention on safety, particularly during prolonged periods of antiinflammatory co-treatments, is required.

AB  - Depression is a disease of an abnormal brain energy metabolism also marked with increased apoptosis in specific brain regions. Mounting evidence indicates that the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and apoptosis are novel targets for the actions of estrogen receptors (ERs). In this study, we examined the effects of antidepressant (AD) fluoxetine (FLU) treatment on the mitochondria] ER alpha (ER alpha), ER beta (total and phospho-pER(beta) and their association with cytochrome c (cyt oxidase activity and apoptotic Bcl2/Bax-molecules in the hippocampal mitochondria of chronically isolated (CPSI) female and male rats depicting depression. Impaired behaviour induced by CPSI was followed by decreased corticosterone (CORT) in both sexes and downregulation of cyt c oxidase in males. CPSI did not affect the ERa in either of sexes, but it decreased mitochondrial ER beta and increased pER beta in both sexes. Stress-reduced ER beta is associated with a decrease in mitochondrial energetic processes in males and with apoptotic mechanisms in females. FLU normalized behaviour in both sexes and increased cyt c oxidase in females. FLU elevated ERa in males, increased ER beta and decreased pERB in both sexes. The AD-induced alterations of ER beta paralleled with bioenergetics and pro-survival pathways in females. In conclusion, sex-unspecific regulation of ER beta by the stress and by AD and its differential convergence with bioenergetics and apoptotic pathways in females and males implies its role as a vulnerability factor in the stress response and emphasizes mitochondrial ER beta-dependent pathways as an important gateway of ADs action, at least in females.

AB  - Accumulating evidence strongly suggest that impaired glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling is involved in stress-related mood disorders, and nominate GR as a potential target for antidepressants (ADs). It is known that different classes of ADs affects the GR action via modifying its phosphorylation, while the mechanism through which ADs alter GR phosphorylation targeted by GSK3 beta, a kinase modulated via serotonin neurotransmission, are unclear. On this basis, we investigated whether GSK3 beta-GR signaling could be a convergence point of fluoxetine action on brain function and behavior, by examining its effect on GSK3 beta targeted-GR phosphorylation on threonine 171 (pGR171), and expression of GR-regulated genes in the hippocampus of female and male rats exposed to chronic isolation stress. Stress induced sex-specific GSK3 beta-targeted phosphorylation of pGR171 in the nucleus of the hippocampus of stressed animals. Namely, while in females stress triggered coupled action of GSK3 beta-pGR171 signaling, in males changes in pGR171 levels did not correspond to GSK3 beta activity. On the other hand, fluoxetine managed to up regulate this pathway in sex-unbiased manner. Furthermore, fluoxetine reverted stress-induced changes in most of the analyzed genes in males, CRH, 5-HT1a and p11, while in females its effect was limited to CRH. These data further suggest that pGR171 signaling affects cellular localization of GR in response to chronic stress and fluoxetine in both sexes. Collectively, our results describe a novel convergence point between GR signaling and GSK3 beta pathway in rat hippocampus in response to stress and fluoxetine in both sexes and its involvement in fluoxetine-regulated brain function in males.

AB  - Inflammation plays a critical role in pathogenesis of depression and can affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. Accordingly, in this study we investigated the role of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor in mediating the effects of inflammation on behaviour of female and male Wistar rats. We studied the effects of lipopolysaccharide on the levels of glucocorticoid receptors and its co-chaperones FK506 binding protein 52 and FK506 binding protein 51, the levels of glucocorticoid receptor phospho-isoforms, pGR-232 and pGR-246, and glucocorticoid receptor up-stream kinases. In order to assess transcriptional activity of glucocorticoid receptor, we measured mRNA levels of several glucocorticoid receptor-regulated genes. We demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide induced depressive-like behaviour and elevated serum corticosterone in both sexes. However, it affected glucocorticoid receptor signalling in the nucleus of females and males differently-in females it elevated levels of glucocorticoid receptors, pGR-246 and FK506 binding protein 52, while in males it decreased levels of glucocorticoid receptor, both co-chaperons and pGR-246. Alterations in pGR-246 were associated with alterations of c-Jun N-terminal kinases. Altered nuclear levels of total glucocorticoid receptors and pGR-246 were accompanied by sex-specific reduction in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA and sex-unspecific reduction in the expression of p11 and glucocorticoid receptor genes. These alterations may ultimately affect different glucocorticoid receptor-associated processes involved in depressive-like behaviour in males and females.

However, it affected glucocorticoid receptor signalling in the nucleus of females and males differently-in females it elevated levels of glucocorticoid receptors, pGR-246 and FK506 binding protein 52, while in males it decreased levels of glucocorticoid receptor, both co-chaperons and pGR-246. Alterations in pGR-246 were associated with alterations of c-Jun N-terminal kinases. Altered nuclear levels of total glucocorticoid receptors and pGR-246 were accompanied by sex-specific reduction in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA and sex-unspecific reduction in the expression of p11 and glucocorticoid receptor genes. These alterations may ultimately affect different glucocorticoid receptor-associated processes involved in depressive-like behaviour in males and females.",

AB  - The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of peroral administration of chromium-enriched yeast on glucose tolerance in Holstein calves, assessed by insulin signaling pathway molecule determination and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). Twenty-four Holstein calves, aged 1 month, were chosen for the study and divided into two groups: the PoCr group (n = 12) that perorally received 0.04 mg of Cr/kg of body mass daily, for 70 days, and the NCr group (n = 12) that received no chromium supplementation. Skeletal tissue samples from each calf were obtained on day 0 and day 70 of the experiment. Chromium supplementation increased protein content of the insulin beta-subunit receptor, phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 at Tyrosine 632, phosphorylation of Akt at Serine 473, glucose transporter-4, and AMP-activated protein kinase in skeletal muscle tissue, while phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 at Serine 307 was not affected by chromium treatment. Results obtained during IVGTT, which was conducted on days 0, 30, 50, and 70, suggested an increased insulin sensitivity and, consequently, a better utilization of glucose in the PoCr group. Lower basal concentrations of glucose and insulin in the PoCr group on days 30 and 70 were also obtained. Our results indicate that chromium supplementation improves glucose utilization in calves by enhancing insulin intracellular signaling in the skeletal muscle tissue.

AB  - Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD) for a subset of depressed individuals. One of the possible routes by which cytokines can induce depressive symptoms is by promoting the dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis via altering glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function. We investigated the mechanisms that finely tune the GR functioning upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS), i.e., subcellular localization of the GR, the levels of its co-chaperones FK506 binding protein 52 (FKBP4) and FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP5), the receptor phosphorylation status along with its upstream kinases, as well as mRNA levels of GR-regulated genes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of male and female Wistar rats. We found that upon LPS treatment, animals of both sexes exhibited depressive-like behavior and elevated serum corticosterone. However, the nuclear translocation of the GR and both FKBPs was found only in males, together with elevated phosphorylation of the GR at serine 232 and 246 and the activation and nuclear translocation of all analyzed kinases. This activation of the GR in males was paralleled with altered expression of GR-related genes, particularly PTGS2 and BDNF. Our data suggest that LPS treatment produced alterations in the mechanisms that control the GR nuclear translocation in the PFC of males, and that these mechanisms may contribute to the sex-specific dysfunction of GR-related neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory processes in inflammation-associated depression.

AB  - Knowledge of the antioxidant defense in the stress-responding structures of the CNS is of crucial importance, since oxidative damage is a phenomenon accompanying many stress-related disorders. Regulation of antioxidative and anti-inflammatory defense through Nrf2 (nuclear factor 2 eritroid related factor 2) pathway has emerged as a promising approach for neuroprotection. In this study, we used chronic social isolation of male Wistar rats to induce depressive-like behavior. We hypothesized that Nrf2 Keap1 pathway is compromised in the limbic brain after prolonged stress. Since subcellular trafficking of Nrf2 and its inhibitor Keap1 (Kelch ECH associating protein 1) is essential for the activation of Nrf2, we determined their protein level in cytosolic and nuclear comp and linents of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PEG). We also determined mRNA levels of Nr12-regulated genes involved in the production and utilization of glutathione, glutamate cysteine ligase (Gclm), glutathione S-transferase (Gsta3) and glutathione reductase (Gsr). Our results showed that chronic isolation induced anxiety and depressive-like behavior, decreased Nrf2 and in parallel increased Keap1 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) in the hippocampus, which were not accompanied by expression profiles of Nrf2-regulated genes. Chronically stressed rats challenged with acute stress failed to induce any response of examined genes in either of brain structures, even though Nrf2/Keap1 was altered, while in naive animals Nrf2 activity corresponded witli an expression of Nrf2-regulated genes. Our results reveal maladaptive character of chronic stress at Nrf2/Keap1 level followed by pro-inflammatory conditions, and suggest a possible role of these alterations in pathogenesis of depressive/anxiety disorders.

AB  - Peripheral inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes behavioural changes indicative for depression. The possible mechanisms involve the interference with neuroinflammatory, neuroendocrine, and neurotrophic processes. Apart from heterogeneity in the molecular background, sexual context may be another factor relevant to the manifestation of mood disturbances upon an immune challenge. We investigated sex-dependent effects of a 7-day LPS treatment of adult Wistar rats on depressive-like behaviour and their relation with hypothalamic neuroendocrine factor, corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), proplastic brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), pro-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kappa beta (NFkB). Also, their regulators, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) beta were followed. LPS induced depressive-like behaviour in females was associated with the increased hypothalamic CRH and decreased BDNF, but not with COX-2. These changes were paralleled by an increase in nuclear GR, NFkB and 20 kDa C/EBP beta. LPS also altered behaviour in males and increased CRH expression, but in contrast to females, this was accompanied with the elevated COX-2, accumulation of cytosolic GR and elevated nuclear 38 kDa C/EBP beta and NFkB. In conclusion, depressive-like phenotype induced by LPS in both sexes emerges from similar HPA axis activation and sex-specific alterations of hypothalamic molecular signalling: in males it is related to compromised control of neuroinflamation connected with cytoplasmic GR retention, while in females it is related to diminished proplastic capacity of BDNF. Sex-dependent mechanisms by which inflammation alters hypothalamic processes and cause pathological behaviour in animals, could be operative in the treatment of depression-related brain inflammation.

AB  - Glucocorticoid resistance is a common finding in major depressive disorder. Increased glucocorticoid receptor (GR) phosphorylation at serine 226 is associated with increased glucocorticoid resistance. Previously we have demonstrated that depressed patients exhibit higher levels of GR phosphorylated at serine 226 compared to healthy controls. The enzyme that is involved in this specific GR phosphorylation is c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). We propose that modulation of glucocorticoid phosphorylation at serine 226, by targeting JNK signaling pathway, could be a potential strategy for antidepressant treatment. We base this assumption on the results of previous research that examined GR phosphorylation and JNK signaling in animal models and human studies. We also discuss the potential challenges in targeting JNK signaling pathway in depression. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - The early postnatal environment is critical for its capacity to influence adult behavior, and is associated with traits of altered physiological and neurobiological function and long-term predisposition to depression. Here we describe the delayed effects of maternal deprivation (MD) in male and female Wistar pups on their physical development and behavior in adulthood in tasks designed to explore depressive-like (forced swimming test, FST), and anxiety-like behaviors (elevated plus maze, EPM). We observed that MD led to reduced body weight in adulthood, anxiety-like traits in the EPM test and increased activity in the phases of the FST. Particularly, a consistent sexual dimorphism was observed in the responses to MD. A lower increase in body weight during maturation of MD rats was more pronounced in males than in females. MD anxiogenic effects were more pronounced in females, while in FST only MD males showed a marked increase in swimming activity followed by decreased immobility.

AB  - Considerable evidence shows an association of depression with the immune system and emphasizes the importance of gender in the etiology of the disease and the response to inflammatory stimuli. We examined the influence of immune-challenged systems on depressive-like behavior in female rats in the context of gonadal hormones. We used a neuroinflammatory model of depression elicited by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration on naive and ovariectomized (OVX) female rats, and examined the effects of estradiol (E2) and/or progesterone (P4) replacement therapy on animal behavior, as assessed by the forced swimming test (FST). We found that LPS and OVX increase immobility in the FST, while LPS also decreased body weight in naive female rats. Further, even though P4 application alone showed beneficial effects on the behavioral profile (it reduced immobility and increased climbing), supplementation of both hormones (E2 and P4) together to OVX rats failed to do so. When OVX rats were exposed to LPS-induced immune challenge, neither hormone individually nor their combination had any effect on immobility, however, their joint supplementation increased climbing behavior. In conclusion, our study confirmed that both LPS and OVX induced depressive-like behavior in female rats. Furthermore, our results potentiate P4 supplementation in relieving the depressive-like symptomatology in OVX rats, most likely through fine-tuning of different neurotransmitter systems. In the context of an activated immune system, the application of E2 and/or P4 does not provide any advantageous effects on depressive-like behavior.

AB  - We have previously shown that patients with the major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibited elevated phosphorylation of the lymphocyte glucocorticoid receptor (GR) at serine 226 (S226). Here, we further analyse potential alterations of GR signalization in lymphocytes of MDD patients, i.e. the cytoplasmic/nuclear distribution of GR, levels of FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5) and glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ). The FKBP5 acts as an important regulator of GR activation, by decreasing ligand binding and impeding translocation of the receptor to the nucleus, while GILZ mediates glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory effects. Our result showed that the depressed patients had significantly higher GR levels in the cytoplasm compared to controls, which was accompanied by higher FKBP5 levels. Linear regression model demonstrated significantly higher correlation between FKBP5 and cytoplasmic GR than the presence of MDD itself or phosphorylation of nuclear GR at S226. There were no differences in the levels of GILZ isoforms. Therefore, the results suggest that accumulation of the GR in cytoplasm is related to the elevation of FKBP5, adding one more step in understanding altered GR signalling in lymphocytes, and potentially brain tissue, of MDD patients.

AB  - Objectives. To develop a structural equation model of negative affectivity (NA) that involves interaction of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling, personality dimensions and recent stressful life events. Methods. Seventy participants -35 diagnosed with major depression and 35 healthy controls, were enrolled in the study. Morning plasma cortisol levels were determined by chemiluminescent immunometric assays. Molecular parameters (total nuclear and cytoplasmatic GR, nuclear GR phosphorylated at serine 211 (pGR-211) and at serine 226 (pGR-226) and cytoplasmic FKBP51) were analysed from peripheral blood lymphocytes by Western blot. NA, personality dimensions and stressful life events were assessed by self-report instruments. Results. GR signalling parameters had direct independent effect on measures of NA, with pGR-226 levels showing the strongest correlation, followed by FKBP51 and pGR-211 levels. Neuroticism and extraversion also demonstrated strong independent effect on NA, while recent stressful events did not predict NA directly, but demonstrated a significant effect on personality dimensions. Cortisol, total nuclear GR and total cytoplasmatic GR levels were excluded from the model due to non-significant correlations with NA. Conclusions. Negative affectivity is a transdiagnostic factor in vulnerability to affective disorders and possible therapeutic target. Molecular signature of negative affectivity should incorporate GR phosphorylation with other known biological underpinnings.

AB  - A growing body of evidence indicates that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) participates in various stress-induced responses and is considered to be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms in depression. Surprisingly, the effect of antidepressants on MAPKs is almost unexplored, particularly from the perspective of sexes. The present study investigates the cytoplasm-nuclear distribution of MAPK family, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) 1, 2 and 3; extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2; and p38 kinases, as well as their phosphoisoforms in the hippocampus of chronically stressed female and male rats and upon chronic fluoxetine treatment. Additionally, we analysed crosstalk between MAPK signalling and depressive-like behaviour which correlated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. Our results emphasize a gender-specific and compartment-dependent response of MAPKs to stress and fluoxetine. In females, stress decreased pp38 and pJNK and induced cytosolic retention of pERKs which reduced all nuclear pMAPKs. These changes correlated with altered BDNF expression and behaviour. Similarly, in males, stress decreased pp38 but promoted nuclear translocation of pJNKs and pERKs. These stress alterations of pMAPKs in males were not associated with BDNF expression and depressive-like behaviour. Fluoxetine treatment in stressed females upregulated whole pMAPK signalling particularly those in nucleus which was followed with BDNF expression and normalization of behaviour. In stressed males, fluoxetine affected only cytosolic pJNKs, while nuclear pMAPK signalling and BDNF expression were unaffected even though fluoxetine normalized behaviour. Overall, our results suggest existence of gender-specific mechanism of fluoxetine on nuclear pMAPK/BDNF signalling and depressive-like behaviour and reinforce the antidepressant dogma that females and males respond differently to certain antidepressants.

AB  - Introduction: We investigated the effects of ghrelin on protein expression of the liver antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutases (SODs), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR), nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Furthermore, we aimed to investigate whether extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) and protein kinase B (Akt) are involved in ghrelin-regulated liver antioxidant enzymes and iNOS protein expression. Material and methods: Male Wistar rats were treated with ghrelin (0.3 nmol/5 mu l) injected into the lateral cerebral ventricle every 24 h for 5 days, and 2 h after the last treatment the animals were sacrificed and the liver excised. The Western blot method was used to determine expression of antioxidant enzymes, iNOS, phosphorylation of Akt, ERK1/2 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) subunits 50 and 65. Results: There was significantly higher protein expression of CuZnSOD (p LT 0.001), MnSOD (p LT 0.001), CAT (p LT 0.001), GPx, (p LT 0.001), and GR (p LT 0.01) in the liver isolated from ghrelin-treated animals compared with control animals. In contrast, ghrelin significantly (p LT 0.01) reduced protein expression of iNOS. In addition, phosphorylation of NF kappa B subunits p65 and p50 was significantly (p LT 0.001 for p65; p LT 0.05 for p50) reduced by ghrelin when compared with controls. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and of Akt was significantly higher in ghrelin-treated than in control animals (p LT 0.05 for ERK1/2; p LT 0.01 for Akt). Conclusions: The results show that activation of Akt and ERK1/2 is involved in ghrelin-mediated regulation of protein expression of antioxidant enzymes and iNOS in the rat liver.

AB  - Background: Oxidative stress is reliably observed in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, molecular data on the principal cellular redox-sensitive transcriptional factors and the levels of their downstream-regulated antioxidant enzymes in MDD are scarce. Methods: In the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of subjects with a current episode of MDD (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 35), we investigated alterations in the levels of redox-sensing nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) protein, its inhibitor Keap1, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), along with their cognate downstream effectors, the antioxidant enzymes (AOEs): manganese and copper zinc superoxide dismutase (MnSOD and CuZnSOD, respectively), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GLR). Results: MDD subjects exhibited higher levels of Nrf2 and its regulator Keap1, as well as NF-kappa B in the cytoplasm of PBMC compared to controls. This state was further reflected by increased levels of MnSOD, CuZnSOD and CAT proteins and by the lack of correlation between MnSOD and CAT, which could indicate impaired oxidative detoxification capacity in MDD patients. Moreover, increased levels of MnSOD, CuZnSOD and CAT in MDD patients positively correlated with levels of Nrf2, while increased levels of SODs were also positively related to NF-kappa B. There were no differences regarding the levels of GPx and GLR proteins, but the ratio of GLR/GPx was reduced, suggesting diminished capacity of GPx in antioxidative defence in PBMC of MDD subjects. Conclusion: These data provide evidence that MDD is characterized by up-regulation of redox-sensitive transcriptional factors (Nrf2 and NF-kappa B) and AOEs (MnSOD, CuZnSOD and CAT), indicating pro-oxidative state in the PBMC of MDD patients.

AB  - In this study, we examined the influence of immunity on depressive-like
behavior in females in the context of gonadal hormones. We used
neuroinflammatory model of depression elicited by lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) administration on naïve and ovariectomozed (OVX) females and
examined the effects of estradiol (E2) and/or progesterone (P4) replacement
therapy on Wistar rat behavior. LPS induced depressive–like behavior in
both naïve and OVX females. Our behavioral data indicated that E2 and P4
applied alone had opposite effects compared to the E2/P4 combination. The
supplementation of both hormones attenuates detrimental effects of LPSinduced
inflammation, particularly through stimulation of noradrenergic
transmission. Overall immune challenge with LPS is able to induce
depressive-like behavior either of naïve or ovariectomized females,
particularly depending on ovarian hormones background.
