摘要

Translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) has been implicated in the development of depression and cognitive dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the anti-depression/anti-anxiety and cognitive enhancing impacts and potential mechanisms of TSPO ligand YL-IPA08 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory model. The effects of YL-IPA08 in LPS induced mice were identified by behavioral tests, and the target of YL-IPA08 was validated using the TSPO antagonist PK11195. The microglia in PFC were analyzed by immunofluorescence, and the inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β1) in PFC was detected by ELISA or WB. Effect of TGF-β1 inhibitor Repsox on the actions of YL-IPA08 in LPS-treated mice was further verified. We found that YL-IPA08 administration ameliorated LPS-induced depression/anxiety-like behaviors and cognitive impairment, which were blocked by PK11195. YL-IPA08 reversed the increased number and inflammatory morphological changes of microglia in PFC of LPS mice by targeting TSPO. YL-IPA08 reversed the increased inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α) and decreased anti-inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-10) in the PFC of LPS mice by TSPO activation. In addition, YL-IPA08 elevated the suppressed levels of TGF-β1 and smad3 (member of TGF-β1 pathway) in PFC of LPS mice by TSPO activation. TGF-β1 inhibitor Repsox blocked the anti-depression/anxiety and cognition enhancing effects of YL-IPA08 in LPS mice. Our data implicated that central inflammation regulation and TSPO-TGF-β1/Smad pathway activation contributed to the anti-depressant/anxiety and cognitive promoting impacts of YL-IPA08.
