    Chronic alcohol exposure induced gut microbiota dysbiosis and its correlations with neuropsychic behaviors and brain BDNF/Gabra1 changes in mice.

    Xu Z, Wang C, Dong X, Hu T, Wang L, Zhao W et al.

    Alcohol addiction can cause brain dysfunction and many other diseases. Recently, increasing evidences have suggested that gut microbiota plays a vital role in regulating alcohol addiction. However, the exact mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Here, our study focused on the intestinal bacteria alternations and their correlations with alcohol-induced neuropsychic behaviors. When consuming alcohol over 3-week period, animals gradually displayed anxiety/depression-like behaviors. Moreover, 16S rRNA sequencing showed significant intestinal microflora dysbiosis and distinct community composition. Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteria were both increased at the phylum level. At the genus level, Adlercreutzia spp., Allobaculum spp., and Turicibacter spp. were increased whereas Helicobacter spp. was decreased. We also found that the distances in inner zone measured by open field test and 4% (v/v) alcohol preference percentages were significantly correlated with Adlercreutzia spp. The possible mechanisms were explored and we found the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and α1 subunit of γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (Gabra1) were both decreased in prefrontal cortex (PFC). Especially, further correlation analyses demonstrated that decreased Adlercreutzia spp. was positively correlated with alcohol preference and negatively correlated with anxiety-like behavior and BDNF/Gabra1 changes in PFC. Similar relationships were observed between Allobaculum spp. and alcohol preference and BDNF changes. Helicobacter spp. and Turicibacter spp. were also correlated with PFC BDNF and hippocampus Gabra1 level. Taken together, our study showed that gut microbiota dysbiosis during chronic alcohol exposure was closely correlated with alcohol-induced neuropsychic behaviors and BDNF/Gabra1 expression, which provides a new perspective for understanding underlying mechanisms in alcohol addiction. © 2018 BioFactors, 45(2):187-199, 2019.

    Gut microbiota is necessary for pair-housing to protect against post-stroke depression in mice.

    Jiang ST, Sun YH, Li Y, Wang MQ, Wang XY, Dong YF

    The goal of this study is to investigate the role of microbiota-gut-brain axis involved in the protective effect of pair-housing on post-stroke depression (PSD). PSD model was induced by occluding the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) plus restraint stress for four weeks. At three days after MCAO, the mice were restrained 2 h per day. For pair-housing (PH), each mouse was pair housed with a healthy isosexual cohabitor for four weeks. While in the other PH group, their drinking water was replaced with antibiotic water. On day 35 to day 40, anxiety- and depression-like behaviors (sucrose consumption, open field test, forced swim test, and tail-suspension test) were conducted. Results showed pair-housed mice had better performance on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors than the PSD mice, and the richness and diversity of intestinal flora were also improved. However, drinking antibiotic water reversed the effects of pair-housing. Furthermore, pair-housing had an obvious improvement in gut barrier disorder and inflammation caused by PSD. Particularly, they showed significant decreases in CD8 lymphocytes and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-a, IL-1β and IL-6), while IL-10 mRNA was upregulated. In addition, pair-housing significantly reduced activated microglia and increased Nissl's body in the hippocampus of PSD mice. However, all these improvements were worse in the pair-housed mice administrated with antibiotic water. We conclude that pair-housing significantly improves PSD in association with enhanced functions of microbiota-gut-brain axis, and homeostasis of gut microbiota is indispensable for the protective effect of pair-housing on PSD.

    The alteration of gut microbiota in venlafaxine-ameliorated chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression in mice.

    Shen W, Tao Y, Zheng F, Zhou H, Wu H, Shi H et al.

    Depression is associated with intestinal dysbiosis. Venlafaxine is a commonly used antidepressant in clinical practice as a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. However, its effects on gut bacteria in depression remain unclear. Here, we established a mouse model of depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and investigated the alterations of venlafaxine on the gut microbiota and potential key bacteria. Our data show that venlafaxine exerts antidepressant effects by restoring the serotonin (5-HT) system and glutamate (Glu) levels in CUMS mice. Moreover, we revealed that venlafaxine altered the diversity of gut bacteria in CUMS mice, and at genus level, Blautia, Oscillibacter, Tyzzerella, Butyricicoccus, and Enterorhabdus are the key bacteria responsible for venlafaxine-ameliorated depression in mice. Among these potential key bacteria, Blautia, Oscillibacter, and Butyricicoccus are correlated significantly with the 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels; while Tyzzerella is correlated markedly with Glu levels. We further show that venlafaxine affected multiple functional metabolic pathways of gut bacteria in mice with CUMS-induced depression. Our results suggest that venlafaxine possibly ameliorates depression via modulating gut bacteria, and found the potential targets of its antidepressant effects.

    Association of the newly proposed dietary index for gut microbiota and depression: the mediation effect of phenotypic age and body mass index.

    Zhang X, Yang Q, Huang J, Lin H, Luo N, Tang H

    BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota and depression have garnered attention. The dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM) is a newly proposed index that reflects the diversity of gut microbiota, yet its association with depression remains unstudied. METHODS: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Depression was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Dietary recall data were used to calculate the DI-GM (including components beneficial and unfavorable to gut microbiota). Multivariable weighted logistic and linear regression were employed to investigate the association of DI-GM with depression and total PHQ-9 score. The potential mediating role of phenotypic age and body mass index (BMI) was explored. Secondary analyses included subgroup analyses, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and multiple imputation. RESULTS: A higher DI-GM and beneficial gut microbiota score were associated with a lower prevalence of depression (DI-GM: OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.89, 0.99; beneficial gut microbiota score: OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.82, 0.94) and lower total PHQ-9 score (DI-GM: β=-0.09, 95% CI=-0.14, -0.04; beneficial gut microbiota: β=-0.15, 95% CI=-0.21, -0.08). RCS indicated a non-linear relationship between DI-GM and depression. A significant mediating effect of phenotypic age (proportion of mediation: 19.81%, 95% CI: 12.86-63.00%) and BMI (proportion of mediation: 16.49%, 95% CI: 12.87-62.00%) was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The newly proposed DI-GM was negatively associated with the prevalence of depression and total PHQ-9 score. Mediation analyses demonstrated a significant mediating effect of phenotypic age and BMI.

    High GABA-producing Lactococcus lactis ZFM559 and its derived GABA alleviate chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression via the "microbiota-brain" axis.

    Han J, Hu S, Zhao X, Ding L, Yin J, Liu J et al.

    γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a crucial inhibitory neurotransmitter with recognized benefits in alleviating depression. However, the ability of exogenous GABA to cross the blood-brain barrier remains debated, and the underlying anti-depression mechanisms via the "microbiota-brain" axis remain unclear. Herein, a high GABA-producing strain (L. lactis ZFM559) was optimized via whole-cell catalysis, and its derived GABA (pGABA, purity of 99.47%) was also prepared, followed by uncovering the underlying anti-depression mechanisms using a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model. Results indicated that the administration of both L. lactis ZFM559 and pGABA effectively alleviated depression-like behaviors and physiological disturbances, specifically manifested as suppressed hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivity, relieved inflammation, and regulated serotonergic (5-HT) metabolism. These effects might be attributed to their ability to reshape the gut microbiota, notably increasing the abundance of Akkermansia and Ligilactobacillus, stimulating enterocytes to release 5-HTP. The circulating 5-HTP entered the brain, enhanced brainstem 5-HT synthesis, and subsequently upregulated the expression of CREB and pCREB while reducing the BDNF level. Notably, L. lactis ZFM559 exhibited stronger effects than pGABA, likely due to its superior impact on tryptophan metabolism (non-kynurenine pathway) and microbial modulation (indole pathway). Our study highlights the potential of GABA-rich probiotics and their derived GABA as psychobiotics, offering a promising strategy for the dietary intervention of depression via the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

    Gut Microbiota Alterations and Their Functional Differences in Depression According to Enterotypes in Asian Individuals.

    Park S, Li C, Wu X, Zhang T

    This study aimed to investigate alterations in the gut microbiota of patients with depression compared to those in the gut microbiota of healthy individuals based on enterotypes as a classification framework. Fecal bacteria FASTA/Q samples from 333 Chinese participants, including 107 healthy individuals (Healthy group) and 226 individuals suffering from depression (DP group), were analyzed. The participants were classified into three enterotypes: Bacteroidaceae (ET-B), Lachnospiraceae (ET-L), and Prevotellaceae (ET-P). An α-diversity analysis revealed no significant differences in microbial diversity between the Healthy and DP groups across all enterotypes. However, there were substantial differences in the gut microbial composition for β-diversity, particularly within ET-L and ET-B. The DP group within ET-B exhibited a higher abundance of Proteobacteria, while a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of the DP group showed an increased relative abundance of specific genera, such as Mediterraneibacter, Blautia, Bifidobacterium, and Clostridium. Within ET-L, Bifidobacterium, Blautia, Clostridium, Collinsella, and Corynebacterium were significantly higher in the DP group in the LDA and ANOVA-like differential expression-2 (ALDEx2) analyses. At the species level of ET-L, Blautia luti, Blautia provencensis, Blautia glucerasea, Clostridium innocuum, Clostridium porci, and Clostridium leptum were the primary bacteria in the DP group identified using the machine learning approach. A network analysis revealed a more tightly interconnected microbial community within ET-L than within ET-B. This suggests a potentially stronger functional relationship among the gut microbiota in ET-L. The metabolic pathways related to glucose metabolism, tryptophan and tyrosine metabolism, neurotransmitter metabolism, and immune-related functions showed strong negative associations with depression, particularly within ET-L. These findings provide insights into the gut-brain axis and its role in the pathogenesis of depression, thus contributing to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms in Asian individuals. Further research is warranted to explain the mechanistic links between gut microbiota and depression and to explore their potential for use in precision medicine interventions.

    Implications of Jatropha curcas L. cake feed on swine health: A microbiota-gut-brain axis perspective.

    Zhang Z, Zhao H, Chen X, Tian G, Liu G, Cai J et al.

    The safety of Jatropha curcas L. cake (JCC) in animal feed remains under scrutiny, despite the advent of low phorbol ester (PE) variants. This study investigates the impact of low PE JCC on swine health when used as a protein feed. Pigs were fed a 5% JCC diet with a PE concentration of 0.98 mg/kg, which surprisingly still induced toxicity. Symptoms included depression, decreased food intake, increased diarrhea, along with hypothalamus and colon lesions. The toxicity was associated with a decrease in antioxidant enzymes, an increase in inflammatory cytokines in the hypothalamus, plasma, and colon, and a rise in pro-inflammatory colon microbes and metabolites. Disturbances in neurotransmitters further suggest that this toxicity is related to disruption of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, indicating that JCC's toxic elements are not solely due to PE. The sensitivity of pigs to JCC underscores the need for thorough detoxification prior to its use as feed. These findings significantly contribute to the discourse on the safety of low PE JCC in animal feed, highlighting implications for both the feed industry and public health.

    Emerging literature in the Microbiota-Brain Axis and Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders.

    Rackers HS, Thomas S, Williamson K, Posey R, Kimmel MC

    Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) are common and can cause significant morbidity and mortality for mother and child. A healthy perinatal period requires significant adaptations; however, systems can become imbalanced resulting in depressive and anxiety symptoms. The interface between the microbiome, the immune system, and the stress system may be a model for understanding mechanisms underlying PMAD. Emerging literature from general populations regarding immune, hormone, and HPA axis changes in relation to the microbiome combined with literature on immune, gonadotropin, and stress systems in the perinatal period provides a background. We systematically investigated literature in the developing field of the microbiome in relation to PMAD. Our inclusion criteria were 1) reporting measure of maternal mood, stress, or anxious or depressed behavior; 2) in the perinatal period, defined as pregnancy through one year postpartum; and 3) reporting measure of maternal microbiome including manipulations of the microbiome through prebiotics, probiotics, or interventions with microbial byproducts. The review identified research studying associations between stress and maternal microbiome; dietary impacts on microbial composition, mood, and stress; and the relationship between the microbiome and the immune system through immunoregulatory mechanisms. Important themes identified include: the importance of studying the maternal microbiome and measures of stress, anxiety, and depression and that multi-hit models will be needed as research strives to determine the effects of multiple mechanisms working in concert.

    Strain specific stress-modulating effects of candidate probiotics: A systematic screening in a mouse model of chronic restraint stress.

    Stenman LK, Patterson E, Meunier J, Roman FJ, Lehtinen MJ

    BACKGROUND: Changes in the gut microbiota have been implicated in mood and cognition. In rodents, supplementation with certain bacteria have been shown to alleviate adverse effects of stress on gut microbiota composition and behaviour, but little is known of how the performance of different strains compare to each other. We took a systematic approach to test the efficacy of twelve candidate probiotic strains from ten species/sub-species of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus on behaviours and neuroendocrine responses of chronically stressed mice. METHODS: The strains were tested in four screening experiments with non-stressed and chronically stressed vehicle groups. The three most efficacious strains were re-tested to validate the results. Mice were administered a daily oral gavage containing either 1 × 109 colony forming units (CFU) of selected candidate probiotic or saline solution for one week prior to and for three weeks during daily chronic restraint stress. Behavioural tests including the elevated plus maze, open field, novel object recognition, and forced swim test were applied during week five. Corticosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were analysed to measure the neuroendocrine response to stress. Plasma and tissue samples were collected for biomarker analyses. RESULTS: Of the twelve candidate probiotics, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37, Lactobacillus plantarum LP12407, Lactobacillus plantarum LP12418 and Lactobacillus plantarum LP12151 prevented stress-associated anxiety and depression-related behaviours from developing compared with chronically stressed vehicle mice. In addition, Lpc-37 improved cognition. CONCLUSION: This systematic screening indicates species- and strain-dependent effects on behavioural outcomes related to stress and further suggests that strains differ from each other in their effects on potential mechanistic outcomes.

    Association of gut microbiota with depression post-myocardial infarction: A systematic evaluation and meta-analysis protocol.

    Liu X, Shi X, Zhao H, Hou J, Zhao W, Ding W

    BACKGROUND: Depression post-myocardial infarction (MI) is becoming more prevalent. The gut-brain axis (GBA), influenced by the gut microbiota, is a critical component in understanding depression post-MI. Despite the well-established connection between gut microbiota and depression post-MI, this relationship remains incompletely understood. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P) 2020 statement. Beginning from inception to October 2023, a systematic search will be conducted across eight electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Clinical Trials Database, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China Biomedical Literature Database. Pre-selected studies will be independently assessed by two researchers following a standard inclusion, data extraction and quality assessment protocol. The primary outcome measures are differences in the profile of gut microbiota and rating scale scores for depression. Fixed-effects models will be used when both clinical heterogeneity and statistical heterogeneity are low, otherwise random-effects models will be used. Furthermore, subgroup analyses will be conducted on the depression severity of the participants using the same psychiatric scales employed, study type and geographic region. Random forest plot runs and research-related statistical analyses will be carried out using Rev Man V.5.3 software. EXPECTED RESULTS: This study will identify the association between the gut microbiota and the onset of depression post-MI, and provide evidence for the use of probiotics as an adjunctive treatment for depression post-MI. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Prospero registration number: CRD42023444026.
