BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), as a primary defense mechanism against stress, is closely related to mental disorders, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. This research seeks to explore the influence of ERS-nucleotide-bound oligomerized domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling on mice's depressive-like behaviors and cognitive impairment.
DESIGN AND METHOD: We carried out a study on 32 male C57BL/6J mice to investigate how chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) can give rise to depressive-like behaviors and cognitive dysfunction, randomly dividing them into control, model, inhibitor, and agonist groups. We utilized ELISA to quantify dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels. Using Nissl and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, we assessed the number and morphology of hippocampal neurons and cells. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining detected the changes in ERS and inflammation-related pathways in the hippocampus.
RESULTS: CUMS could induce ERS and activate NLRP3 inflammasome, causing neuronal damage and histopathological changes, eventually leading to depressive-like behaviors and cognitive impairment in mice. The abnormal activation of NLRP3 inflammasome could be restored by ERS blocker 4-phenyl butyric acid (PBA), thus reducing neuronal damage, and ameliorating depressive-like behaviors and cognitive disorder in mice.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates a previously unknown link between ERS and NLRP3 inflammasome in CUMS mice. The ERS-NLRP3 signaling pathway may be activated by CUMS, potentially resulting in mice exhibiting depressive-like behaviors and cognitive dysfunction. Theoretical foundations for elucidating the pathogenesis of depression, as well as its prevention and treatment, will be established through the results.
