Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a complex neuropsychiatric complication driven by neuroinflammation and ferroptosis, yet effective therapies remain limited. Sinensetin (SIN), a polymethoxylated flavone derived from citrus fruits, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, its therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms in PSD have not been explored. To investigate this, a mouse model of PSD was established by combining photothrombotic stroke with low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration. Mice were treated with SIN (25 and 50 mg/kg) for 14 days. Depressive-like behaviors were assessed using the sucrose preference test (SPT), tail suspension test (TST), and forced swimming test (FST). Crucially, protein-level validation was performed using quantitative immunofluorescence (for glial activation) and ELISA (for serum cytokines and pathway markers), complemented by qPCR and molecular docking/dynamics (MD) simulations. SIN treatment significantly alleviated depressive-like behaviors and restored cerebral blood flow in PSD mice. Quantitative immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses revealed that SIN effectively suppressed the hyperactivation of microglia (IBA1) and astrocytes (GFAP) in the hippocampus and reduced serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β). Mechanistically, SIN inhibited the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway by suppressing NF-κB nuclear translocation and concurrently activated the NRF2/GPX4 antioxidant axis, thereby mitigating lipid peroxidation and neuronal ferroptosis. Additionally, molecular docking and MD simulations predicted energetically favorable interactions between SIN and key targets (e.g., TLR4, KEAP1), providing supportive evidence for its multi-target mechanism. Our findings demonstrate that SIN exerts neuroprotective effects in PSD by dually modulating TLR4/NF-κB-mediated neuroinflammation and NRF2/GPX4-dependent ferroptosis. These results highlight SIN as a promising natural therapeutic candidate for the treatment of depression following stroke.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common among stroke survivors and negatively impacts recovery. Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS), a traditional Chinese medicine, has shown therapeutic potential for mood disorders, particularly PSD. Recent studies suggest that CSS's effects may be mediated by exosomes, but the mechanisms remain unclear. AIM OF STUDY:This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of CSS on PSD in mice and investigate the underlying mechanisms, particularly the role of exosomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Active compounds in CSS were identified from rat serum using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and analyzed through network pharmacology. In vitro, an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) BV2 microglia model was used to assess the effects of CSS-containing serum (CSS-S). Exosomes from OGD/R-treated BV2 microglia were isolated, labeled with PKH26, and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). In vivo, a photothrombotic stroke (PT) model combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was used to induce PSD in mice. Behavioral assessments and histological analysis were performed, along with immunofluorescence (IF), ELISA and q-PCR to measure key protein and miR-146 expression in the hippocampus. RESULTS:CSS treatment significantly alleviated depressive-like behaviors in the PSD mouse model. Mice treated with high-dose CSS (4.2 g/kg) exhibited increased sucrose preference, reduced immobility in the tail suspension test (TST) and forced swimming test (FST), and enhanced exploratory activity in the open field test (OFT). Histological analysis demonstrated that CSS treatment improved brain tissue integrity, alleviating neuronal damage and reducing neuroinflammation. Exosome analysis revealed that CSS increased the expression of microglia-derived exosomes in the hippocampus, which were shown to carry miR-146. Further examination of miR-146 isoforms in the hippocampal tissue revealed significant changes: miR-146b-3p and miR-146a-5p were upregulated, while miR-146a-3p and miR-146b-5p were downregulated in PSD mice. Treatment with CSS reversed the altered miRNA expression, indicating a potential mechanism for its neuroprotective effects. Additionally, CSS treatment reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as S100A8, IL1β, IL6, and TNF-α, while restoring the levels of angiogenic factors VEGFC and VEGFR3. ELISA measurements showed significant decreases in cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and noradrenaline (NE) in PSD mice; high-dose CSS notably elevated CREB and BDNF levels and showed comparable effects to fluoxetine in restoring 5-HT and DA levels. Additionally, the calcium signaling pathway was implicated, with altered mRNA expressions of CaMKIIα, CREB, phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB), PDE4D, and BDNF, although fluoxetine demonstrated stronger modulatory effects than CSS. CONCLUSIONS:CSS alleviates PSD in mice by modulating exosome-mediated signaling, particularly through the regulation of miR-146. The treatment reversed abnormal miRNA expression, reduced neuroinflammation, and improved synaptic function. These findings highlight CSS's potential as an effective therapeutic strategy for PSD by targeting exosome-mediated neuroprotection and miR-146 regulation.
Depression is a common, serious, and recurrent mental disorder that is closely associated with decreased quality of life, increased medical morbidity, and higher mortality rates. Currently, over 300 million people worldwide are affected by depression. According to reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), psychological disorders account for 12% of the global disease burden, and 46% of all illnesses are directly related to depression. WHO experts have warned that, if this trend continues, by 2030 the number of patients with depression will exceed the total number of patients with all cardiovascular diseases, making depression the leading cause of disability worldwide. It has thus become a major global public health concern. Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, originally recorded in Correction of Errors in Medical Classics by Qing dynasty physician Wang Qingren, is known for its functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi, and relieving pain. It is now widely used in clinical practice for various conditions characterized by qi stagnation and blood stasis, with notable efficacy. This paper systematically elaborates on the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction in treating depression accompanied by cognitive dysfunction.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric consequence of stroke, affecting cognitive function, recovery of somatic function, and patient survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Chaihu-Shugan-San, a traditional Chinese medicine formula used clinically to treat depression, could improve symptoms in a rat model for PSD, to investigate the potential mechanisms, and to validate the findings in an in vitro oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Male rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The rats were then allocated to experimental groups (n = 15) that were treated with Chaihu-Shugan-San, a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor, a GSK3β overexpressing virus, or an empty virus (control). The subjects allocated to each group, as well as those that received no treatment and rats that did not undergo MCAO/CUMS, were then subjected to forced swimming, tail suspension, and sugar water preference tests, and their neurological deficit score was determined. Inflammatory factor levels and the expression of proteins related to the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway were measured, and the synaptic ultrastructure was observed using transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry showed microglia polarization towards the M1 phenotype in an in vitro PSD model, which was reversed after treatment with a GSK3β overexpression virus, Chaihu-Shugan-San, or a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor. The results showed that Chaihu-Shugan-San has a therapeutic effect on an in vivo model for PSD and can regulate microglia polarization through the activation of the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway, suggesting that it exerts its effect via the inhibition of neuroinflammation.

抑郁是帕金森病常见的非运动并发症,严重影响患者的生活质量.帕金森病抑郁不仅有运动迟缓、筋脉拘急等"筋脉"为病的表现,还有情绪低落,意志行为能力低下,思维迟缓等"情志"为病的特征.帕金森病抑郁属于"筋脉病"与"情志病"的"合病".肝在体合筋,主疏泄、调畅情志,是肝藏象生理功能的主要体现;肝郁不达则情志郁结,筋脉不利.现代研究发现,肝主疏泄的功能与脑内多巴胺等单胺类神经递质相关,多巴胺分泌不足是引起帕金森病抑郁发病的重要机制之一.基于"肝主筋脉,调畅情志"的生理功能特征,我们认为"筋脉拘急,神气郁结"是帕金森病抑郁的病机;柔肝缓急,理气解郁是帕金森病抑郁的基本治则治法;提出了将理气解郁经典方越鞠丸与酸甘缓筋急的芍药甘草合用作为治疗帕金森病抑郁的基础方,为该病治疗提供新的思路.

Objectives: Inflammation is associated with the occurrence and prognosis of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between inflammatory biomarkers and the short-term clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Materials and Methods: A total of 208 AIS patients treated with IVT were enrolled in this retrospective study. Blood tests of inflammatory biomarkers, including the leukocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level, were conducted within 24 h after IVT. The primary outcome was decent functional recovery (DFR) [modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) of 0-2] at 3 months. The secondary outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and 3-month mortality. A multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between inflammatory biomarkers and 3-month clinical outcomes. Results: At 3 months follow-up, 113 (62.2%) patients achieved DFR. As compared to patients with DFR, patients without DFR had higher leukocyte counts (8.5 +/- 2.4 x 109/L versus 6.9 +/- 1.7 pound 10(9)/L, P=0.000), neutrophil counts (6.1 +/- 2.3 x 10(9)/L versus 4.6 +/- 1.7 x 10(9)/L, P=0.000) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (4.6 +/- 2.4 versus 3.3 +/- 1.9, P=0.000). After adjusting for the stroke subtype, severity of stroke, and medical history, the leukocyte count and neutrophil count remained significantly correlated with non-DFR (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.488; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.247-1.776; P=0.000 and adjusted OR 1.522; 95% CI, 1.269-1.826; P=0.000, respectively). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers are independently associated with poor outcomes at 3 months in AIS patients treated with IVT.
Objective To analyze the effective components of Chinese medicine (CM) contained in Chaihu Shugan Powder (& x67f4;& x80e1;(sic)& x809d;<SIC>, CSP) in the treatment of depressive disorders and to predict its anti-depressant mechanism by network pharmacology. Methods Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity calculation method was used to screen the active components of CSP. Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacological Database Analysis Platform and text mining tool (GoPuMed database) were used to predict and screen the active ingredients of CSP and anti-depressive targets. Through Genetic Association Database, Therapeutic Target Database, and PharmGkb database targets for depression were obtained. Cytoscape3.2.1 software was used to establish a network map of the active ingredients-targets of CSP, and to analyze gene function and metabolic pathways through Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and the Omicshare database. Results The 121 active ingredients and 15 depression-related targets which were screened from the database can exert antidepressant effects by improving the neural plasticity, growth, transfer condition and gene expression of neuronal cell, and the raise of the expression of gap junction protein. The 15 targets passed 14 metabolic pathways, mainly involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters (5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine and epinephrine), inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, calcium signaling pathway, cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and other signal channels to exert anti-depressant effects. Conclusion This article reveals the possible mechanism of CSP in the treatment of depression through network pharmacology research, and lays a foundation for further target studies.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), potentially associated with poor prognosis, is a major complication of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for ischemic stroke patients. We aimed to develop and validate a risk model for predicting sICH after EVT in Chinese patients due to large-artery occlusions in the anterior circulation. METHODS:The derivation cohort recruited patients with EVT from the Endovascular Treatment for Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Registry in China. sICH was diagnosed according to the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification within 24 hours of EVT. Stepwise logistic regression was performed to derive the predictive model. The discrimination and calibration of the risk model were assessed using the C index and the calibration plot. An additional cohort of 503 patients from 2 stroke centers was prospectively enrolled to validate the new model. RESULTS:We enrolled 629 patients who underwent EVT as the derivation cohort, among whom 87 developed sICH (13.8%). In the multivariate adjustment, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (odds ratio [OR], 0.85; P=0.005), baseline glucose (OR, 1.13; P=0.001), poor collateral circulation (OR, 3.06; P=0.001), passes with retriever (OR, 1.52; P=0.001), and onset-to-groin puncture time (OR, 1.79; P=0.024) were independent factors of sICH and were incorporated as the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, Baseline Glucose, Poor Collateral Circulation, Passes With Retriever, and Onset-to-Groin Puncture Time (ASIAN) score. The ASIAN score demonstrated good discrimination in the derivation cohort (C index, 0.771 [95% CI, 0.716-0.826]), as well as the validation cohort (C index, 0.758 [95% CI, 0.691-0.825]). CONCLUSIONS:The ASIAN score reliably predicts the risk of sICH in Chinese ischemic stroke patients treated by EVT.

Background The trajectory of ischemic stroke patients attributable to large vessel occlusion is fundamentally altered by endovascular thrombectomy. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting 3‐month mortality risk in patients with ischemic stroke attributed to artery occlusion in anterior circulation who received successful endovascular thrombectomy treatment. Methods and Results Patients with successful endovascular thrombectomy (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction IIb or III) were enrolled from a multicenter registry as the training cohort. Step‐wise logistic regression with Akaike information criterion was utilized to establish the best‐fit nomogram. The discriminative value of the nomogram was tested by concordance index. An additional 224 patients from 2 comprehensive stroke centers were prospectively recruited as the test cohort for validating the new nomogram. Altogether, 417 patients were enrolled in the training cohort. Age (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03−1.10), poor pretreatment collateral status (OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.18−3.85), baseline blood glucose level (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04−1.21), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (OR, 9.51; 95% CI, 4.54−19.92), and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03−1.12) were associated with mortality and were incorporated in the nomogram. The c‐index of the nomogram was 0.835 (95% CI, 0.785–0.885) in the training cohort and 0.758 (95% CI, 0.667–0.849) in the test cohort. Conclusions The nomogram, composed of age, pretreatment collateral status, baseline blood glucose level, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, may predict risk of mortality in patients with ischemic stroke and treated successfully with endovascular thrombectomy.
