Growing evidence suggests that activators of nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2), such as sulforaphane, may represent promising novel pharmacological targets for conditions related to oxidative stress, including depressive disorder. Therefore, we conducted a study to explore the behavioral and biochemical effects of repeated (14 days) sulforaphane (SFN) treatment in the olfactory bulbectomy (OB) animal model of depression. An open field test (OFT), splash test (ST), and spontaneous locomotor activity test (LA) were used to assess changes in depressive-like behavior and the potential antidepressant-like activity of SFN. The OB model induced hyperactivity in mice during the OFT and LA as well as a temporary loss of self-care and motivation in the ST. The repeated administration of SFN (10 mg/kg) effectively reversed these behavioral changes in OB mice across all tests. Additionally, a biochemical analysis revealed that SFN (10 mg/kg) increased the total antioxidant capacity in the frontal cortex and serum of the OB model. Furthermore, SFN (10 mg/kg) significantly enhanced superoxide dismutase activity in the serum of OB mice. Overall, the present study is the first to demonstrate the antidepressant-like effects of repeated SFN (10 mg/kg) treatment in the OB model and indicates that these benefits may be linked to improved oxidative status.
越来越多的证据表明,核因子红细胞衍生2样2(Nrf2)的激活剂,如萝卜硫素,可能是包括抑郁症在内的与氧化应激相关疾病有前景的新型药理学靶点。因此,我们开展了一项研究,以探究在抑郁症嗅球切除术(OB)动物模型中重复(14天)给予萝卜硫素(SFN)的行为和生化效应。采用旷场试验(OFT)、溅水试验(ST)和自发运动活动试验(LA)来评估抑郁样行为的变化以及SFN的潜在抗抑郁样活性。OB模型在OFT和LA期间使小鼠活动亢进,并在ST中导致小鼠暂时丧失自我照顾能力和动机。重复给予SFN(10 mg/kg)可有效逆转OB小鼠在所有试验中的这些行为变化。此外,生化分析显示,SFN(10 mg/kg)提高了OB模型额叶皮质和血清中的总抗氧化能力。此外,SFN(10 mg/kg)显著增强了OB小鼠血清中的超氧化物歧化酶活性。总体而言,本研究首次证明了在OB模型中重复给予SFN(10 mg/kg)具有抗抑郁样作用,并表明这些益处可能与氧化状态改善有关。
