“…These results indicate that the antidepressant-like effect of quercetin may be also modulated by decreased cGMP. This fact is confirmed by the reversal of the antidepressant effect of quercertin by pretreatment of mice with sildenafil -a phosphodiesterase 5 selective inhibitor that increases the level of cGMP (Katarzyna et al, 2012;Tomaz et al, 2014;Rieger et al, 2014) -suggesting that administration of quercetin reduces the levels of cGMP. This may be the mechanism responsible for the effect on the tail suspension test.…”

“…Therefore, depressive behaviors were tested at 24 h after LPS exposure in the current study. As previously reported, the LPS dosage of 0.5 mg/kg [8,37,38] was selected for its ability to successfully induce depressive-like behaviors and neurochemical alterations in mice.…”

Evidence suggests that neuroinflammation is involved in depression and that the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT 1 R) plays a potential pathophysiological role in several types of CNS disorders. Our previous study has shown that knockdown of hippocampal CysLT 1 R in mice prevents the depressive-like phenotype and neuroinflammation induced by chronic mild stress (CMS). Here, we examined the effects of hippocampal CysLT 1 R knockdown and CysLT 1 R blockade on LPS-induced depressive-like behavior in mice. We found that injection of LPS (0.5 mg/kg, ip) caused marked increase in hippocampal CysLT 1 R expression, which was reversed by pretreatment with fluoxetine (20 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 for 7 d, ig). Knockdown of hippocampal CysLT 1 R or blockade of CysLT 1 R by pretreatment with pranlukast (0.5 mg/kg, ip) significantly suppressed LPS-induced depressive behaviors, as evidenced by decreases in mouse immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) and latency to feed in the novelty-suppressed feeding (NSF) test. Moreover, both CysLT 1 R knockdown and CysLT 1 R blockade markedly prevented LPS-induced neuroinflammation, as shown by the suppressed activation of microglia and NF-κB signaling as well as the hippocampal levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in mice. Our results suggest that CysLT 1 R may be involved in LPS-induced depressive-like behaviors and neuroinflammation, and that downregulation of CysLT 1 R could be a novel and potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of depression, at least partially due to its role in neuroinflammation.

“…After acute stress, the increased level of COX-2 and iNOS expression is related to the increase in oxidative and nitrosative stress [28]. In addition, inhibitors of COX-2 [29] and inhibitors of iNOS [30] could ameliorate depressive-like behavior. In present study, apigenin attenuated levels of COX-2 and iNOS in PFC, suggesting that antidepressantlike effects of apigenin may be related to the decreased expression of iNOS and COX-2 in PFC.…”
