Abstract
Depressive disorder (DD) ranks among the most prevalent, burdensome, and costly psychiatric conditions globally. It manifests through a range of emotional, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral symptoms. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have garnered significant attention due to their therapeutic potential via immunomodulation in neurological disorders. Our research indicates that MSCs treatment demonstrates a notable effect on a Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS)-induced DD model in mice, surpassing even Fluoxetine in its antidepressant efficacy. MSCs mitigate DD by inhibiting central nervous system inflammation and facilitating the conversion of microglial cells into an Arg1high anti-inflammatory state. The MSCs-derived TGF-β1 is crucial for this Arg1high microglial cell transformation in DD treatment.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1961 to report on the latest work in psychiatry and cognate disciplines, the Journal of Psychiatric Research is dedicated to innovative and timely studies of four important areas of research:
(1) clinical studies of all disciplines relating to psychiatric illness, as well as normal human behaviour, including biochemical, physiological, genetic, environmental, social, psychological and epidemiological factors;
(2) basic studies pertaining to psychiatry in such fields as neuropsychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology, electrophysiology, genetics, experimental psychology and epidemiology;
(3) the growing application of clinical laboratory techniques in psychiatry, including imagery and spectroscopy of the brain, molecular biology and computer sciences;
