Chronic stress alters lipid mediator profiles associated with immune-related gene expressions and cell compositions in mouse bone marrow and spleen. J Pharmacol Sci 2024; 154:279-293.

Abstract
Despite the importance of lipid mediators in stress and depression and their link to inflammation, the influence of stress on these mediators and their role in inflammation is not fully understood. This study used RNA-seq, LC-MS/MS, and flow cytometry analyses in a mouse model subjected to chronic social defeat stress to explore the effects of acute and chronic stress on lipid mediators, gene expression, and cell population in the bone marrow and spleen. In the bone marrow, chronic stress induced a sustained transition from lymphoid to myeloid cells, accompanied by corresponding changes in gene expression. This change was associated with decreased levels of 15-deoxy-d12,14-prostaglandin J2, a lipid mediator that inhibits inflammation. In the spleen, chronic stress also induced a lymphoid-to-myeloid transition, albeit transiently, alongside gene expression changes indicative of extramedullary hematopoiesis. These changes were linked to lower levels of 12-HEPE and resolvins, both critical for inhibiting and resolving inflammation. Our findings highlight the significant role of anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators in the immune responses induced by chronic stress in the bone marrow and spleen. This study paves the way for understanding how these lipid mediators contribute to the immune mechanisms of stress and depression.

Abstract
The acute stress response mobilizes energy to meet situational demands and re-establish homeostasis. However, the underlying molecular cascades are unclear. Here, we use a brief swim exposure to trigger an acute stress response in mice, which transiently increases anxiety, without leading to lasting maladaptive changes. Using multiomic profiling, such as proteomics, phospho-proteomics, bulk mRNA-, single-nuclei mRNA-, small RNA-, and TRAP-sequencing, we characterize the acute stress-induced molecular events in the mouse hippocampus over time. Our results show the complexity and specificity of the response to acute stress, highlighting both the widespread changes in protein phosphorylation and gene transcription, and tightly regulated protein translation. The observed molecular events resolve efficiently within four hours after initiation of stress. We include an interactive app to explore the data, providing a molecular resource that can help us understand how acute stress impacts brain function in response to stress. Acute stress can help individuals to respond to challenging events, although chronic stress leads to maladaptive changes. Here, the authors present a multi omic analysis profiling acute stress-induced changes in the mouse hippocampus, providing a resource for the scientific community.

Social defeat stress-specific increase in c-Fos expression in the extended amygdala in mice: Involvement of dopamine D1 receptor in the medial prefrontal cortex. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16670. [PMID: 31723165 PMCID: PMC6854085 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52997-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
We recently reported that dopamine D1 receptor in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is activated by subthreshold social defeat stress and suppresses the induction of depressive-like behavior in mice. However, which mPFC projection(s) mediates this antidepressant-like effect remains poorly understood. Here we show that social defeat stress specifically increased c-Fos expression, a marker for neuronal activity, in distinct brain regions involved in emotional regulation, relative to novelty-induced exploration. Among these brain areas, D1 knockdown in the mPFC decreased social defeat stress-induced c-Fos expression in the interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure (IPAC), a subregion of the extended amygdala. Using retrograde adeno-associated virus vectors and transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under the D1 promoter, we also found that D1-expressing deep-layer pyramidal neurons in the mPFC send direct projections to the IPAC. These findings indicate that social defeat stress specifically activates neurons in distinct brain areas, among which the IPAC is regulated by dopamine D1 receptor in the mPFC perhaps through direct projections. Thus, this study provides hints toward identifying neural circuits that underlie antidepressant-like effects of stress-induced dopamine D1 receptor signaling in the mPFC.

Neuropsychopharmacol Rep 2019; 39:134-139.

Abstract
Aims Animal studies using various stress models have shown that excessive environmental stress induces depression? and anxiety?like behaviors through inflammatory responses in the brain and periphery. Although the leptomeningeal cells have multiple functions related to inflammatory responses in the brain, whether environmental stress influences the leptomeninges remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to examine phosphorylation of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) in the leptomeninges. Methods We subjected C57BL/6 male mice to a single episode of social defeat stress and analyzed the expression of phosphorylated ERK in the leptomeninges by immunohistochemistry. Results Social defeat stress in mice induced phosphorylation of ERK in the leptomeninges, adjacent to vascular endothelial cells and the glia limitans. This ERK phosphorylation was maintained for at least one hour after the stress. Conclusions This study shows the effect of environmental stress on the leptomeninges for the first time and paves the way for elucidating its functional role in stress‐induced changes in neural functions. This study shows for the first time that social defeat stress induces phosphorylation of extracellular signal‐regulated kinase in the leptomeninges in mice. This finding paves the way for elucidating a potential role of the leptomeninges in mediating stress‐induced inflammatory signals from the periphery to the brain.![]()
