Neurotrophins, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurosteroids, including allopregnanolone (ALLO), play critical roles in modulating neuronal activity in the brain. Levels of these compounds dynamically fluctuate in response to physiological and environmental conditions, particularly stress, suggesting complex regulatory interactions. This study aimed to explore the effects of acute stress and ALLO (individually and combined) on hippocampal expression of BDNF, its TrkB receptor, and other neurotrophins in sheep, a translational large animal model. Adult, luteal-phase sheep (n = 24), implanted with a guide cannula into the third brain ventricle, were divided into four experimental groups: (i) 3 days of Ringer-Locke solution (RL) infusion as the control; (ii) 3 days of RL infusion with 4 h acute stress on day three; (iii) 3 days of ALLO infusion (4 × 15 µg/60 µL/30 min) with 4 h acute stress on day three; and (iv) 3 days of ALLO infusion alone (n = 6 per group). Both acute stress and ALLO alone significantly reduced BDNF concentration and transcript abundance in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 fields compared to the control group. The combined application of both stress and ALLO resulted in decreased levels of these parameters, except for BDNF concentration in the CA3 region. Additionally, TrkB mRNA expression in both hippocampal fields was significantly reduced in all treatment groups. Changes in mRNA levels for other neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT3) and 4 (NT4), varied under experimental conditions. While an inhibitory effect was predominant, NGF expression in the CA1 region remained unaffected by stress or ALLO. Interestingly, stress alone induced a significant increase in NT4 mRNA expression in the CA3 field compared to the control. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that a 4 h acute stress exposure inhibited the synthesis of BDNF, TrkB, and several other neurotrophins in the sheep hippocampus. Furthermore, ALLO, whose increased levels are highly correlated with the initial stress response, may serve as a mediator of this stress effect, temporarily preventing over-stimulation of hippocampal BDNF release and signaling.
神经营养因子,如脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)和神经甾体,包括别孕烯醇酮(ALLO),在调节大脑神经元活动中发挥关键作用。这些化合物的水平会根据生理和环境条件,特别是应激反应而动态波动,这表明存在复杂的调节相互作用。本研究旨在探讨急性应激和ALLO(单独及联合作用)对绵羊(一种可用于转化研究的大型动物模型)海马中BDNF及其TrkB受体以及其他神经营养因子表达的影响。成年黄体期绵羊(n = 24),在第三脑室植入引导套管,分为四个实验组:(i)输注林格 - 洛克溶液(RL)3天作为对照;(ii)输注RL 3天,第三天施加4小时急性应激;(iii)输注ALLO 3天(4×15μg/60μL/30分钟),第三天施加4小时急性应激;(iv)单独输注ALLO 3天(每组n = 6)。与对照组相比,急性应激和单独使用ALLO均显著降低了海马CA1和CA3区的BDNF浓度和转录本丰度。应激和ALLO联合应用导致这些参数水平降低,但CA3区的BDNF浓度除外。此外,所有治疗组海马区的TrkB mRNA表达均显著降低。其他神经营养因子,包括神经生长因子(NGF)、神经营养因子3(NT3)和4(NT4)的mRNA水平在实验条件下有所不同。虽然抑制作用占主导,但CA1区的NGF表达不受应激或ALLO的影响。有趣的是,与对照组相比,单独应激在CA3区诱导NT4 mRNA表达显著增加。总之,该研究表明,4小时急性应激暴露抑制了绵羊海马中BDNF、TrkB和其他几种神经营养因子的合成。此外,ALLO水平升高与初始应激反应高度相关,它可能作为这种应激效应的介质,暂时防止海马BDNF释放和信号传导的过度刺激。
