Orcinol Glucoside (OG), a phenolic glucoside isolated from C. orchioides, showed the antidepressant-like effect on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced rats previously. This study was designed to determine whether OG could improve the depressive-like symptoms of perimenopausal depression (PMD) and the possible mechanisms involved. This research was performed on a PMD mice model established by a two-steps method of ovariectomy (OVX) followed CUMS. OG treatment effectively improved the depressive-like behaviors of OVX-CUMS mice, as indicated by increased sucrose intake in sucrose preference test (SPT), reduced immobility time in forced swimming test (FST), and tail suspension test (TST), lower frequency of grooming and defecation, increased actions of rearing, and prolonged duration in the center in open field test (OFT). OG treatment alleviated the OVX-CUMS induced dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis by increased serum estradiol (E2) and decreased ovarian hormones follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in serum. Meanwhile, OG reversed the hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as evidenced by decreased CORT and ACTH in serum, reduced as well as the mRNA and protein expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in hypothalamus and hippocampus. Moreover, OG up-regulated the protein expression of BDNF, TrkB, and phosphorylation level of CREB and ERK1/2 in hippocampus. These findings demonstrated that OG improves depressive behaviors of OVX-CUMS mice by modulating of HPO/HPA axis dysfunction, and activating BDNF-TrkB-CREB signaling pathway.
山茱萸新苷(OG)是从山茱萸中分离得到的一种酚糖苷,先前已显示出抗抑郁样作用,可改善慢性不可预测轻度应激(CUMS)诱导的大鼠的抑郁样症状。本研究旨在确定 OG 是否可以改善围绝经期抑郁症(PMD)的抑郁样症状及其可能涉及的机制。该研究采用两步法卵巢切除术(OVX)加 CUMS 建立 PMD 小鼠模型进行。OG 治疗可有效改善 OVX-CUMS 小鼠的抑郁样行为,表现在糖水偏好试验(SPT)中增加蔗糖摄入量、强迫游泳试验(FST)和悬尾试验(TST)中减少不动时间、减少梳理和排便频率、增加站立动作、延长旷场试验(OFT)中心停留时间。OG 治疗通过增加血清雌二醇(E2)和降低血清卵巢激素卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)和促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH),减轻 OVX-CUMS 诱导的下丘脑-垂体-卵巢(HPO)轴功能障碍。同时,OG 逆转了下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)轴的过度活跃,表现在血清皮质酮(CORT)和促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)降低、下丘脑和海马促皮质素释放激素(CRH)的 mRNA 和蛋白表达减少。此外,OG 上调了海马体中脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)、TrkB 及其磷酸化水平和细胞外信号调节激酶 1/2(ERK1/2)的蛋白表达。这些发现表明,OG 通过调节 HPO/HPA 轴功能障碍和激活 BDNF-TrkB-CREB 信号通路,改善 OVX-CUMS 小鼠的抑郁行为。
