Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Social isolation (SI), attributable to modern lifestyles and fast-growing technology, is a leading cause of depression. Selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) are neuroactive agents owing to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, physical and mental activities (Ph&M) exert neuroprotective effects by optimizing the release of both neurotransmitters and growth factors. However, their neuroprotective effects against SI-induced depression are still poorly investigated.
AIM: We aim to explore the neuroprotective effect of Se-NPs, Ph&M, and their combination to guard against the harmful effects of SI-induced depression in a rat model.
METHODS: Fifty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into five groups: control, SI, Ph&M, orally administered Se-NPs (0.1 mg/kg), and a combination group. Neuroprotective activity was quantitatively estimated pharmacologically, biochemically, histologically, and behaviorally.
RESULTS: SI caused behavioral and biochemical alteration in the rat model, decreasing neurotransmitter levels, increasing the transcription of inflammatory response genes (TLR4 and NF-κB), and consequently increasing the production of the cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β. It also activated the proinflammatory NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway. The ER stress parameters PERK, CHOP, and GRP78 were significantly elevated. Impairment of autophagy and increased neurodegeneration were detected via the decline of AMPK/SIRT-1/Beclin-1 PI3K/AKT gene expression and m-TOR overexpression. Decreased expression of TrkB and CREB mRNA and consequent decline in brain-derived neurotropic factor were recorded. SI caused a drastic drop in Wnt3a and β-catenin levels and increased GSK3β activity affecting neuroplasticity and cognitive functions. Administration of Se-NPs and/or application of Ph&M, especially their combination, provided significant protection against prior SI effects.
CONCLUSION: Se-NPs and Ph&M, especially their combination, showed promising protective effects against neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis and subsequent alterations of test animal behaviors precipitated by SI.
