Abstract
Objectives: Gut microbiota is relevant to the pathogenesis of mental disorders including depression. This study aimed to investigate the influence of fluoxetine (FLX) on the gut microbiota in rats with Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stresses (CUMS)-induced depression.
Results: We confirmed that the 28-day CUMS-induced depression rat model. Chronic FLX administration weakly improved depressive-like behaviors in rats. Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing on rat feces showed CUMS increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes (60.31% vs. 48.09% in Control, p < 0.05) and Lactobacillus genus (21.06% vs. 6.82% in control, p < 0.05); FLX and CUMS increased Bacilli class (20.00% ~ 24.08% vs. 10.31% in control, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Collectively, our study showed that both CUMS and FLX changed the compositions of gut microbiota in rats. FLX and CUMS distinctly regulated the gut microbiota in depressed rats.
