Witnessed social defeat stress (WSDS) is a paradigm in which a juvenile or adult rodent observes aggressive encounters, affecting stress physiology and behavior. We developed a novel early-life stress model by exposing lactating rat dams to WSDS and assessed its impact on juvenile social behavior and stress-related physiology. At postnatal day 24, same-sex, age-matched pairs of offspring were tested for social play by scoring pouncing (play initiation), pinning, chasing, and evading. Locomotor activity was assessed in the open field on the same day. After behavioral testing, adrenal cortex weight was measured as an indirect marker of stress-related physiology. Maternal WSDS exposure was associated with a significant sex × WSDS interaction in pouncing behavior, with reduced pouncing in juvenile males, whereas no comparable effect was observed in females. WSDS exposure also increased adrenal cortex weight overall, although the sex × WSDS interaction for this measure was not significant. The reduction in pouncing was characterized by substantial within-group variability, and randomization-based sensitivity analysis indicated that the statistical significance of the sex × WSDS interaction was sensitive to focal-animal assignment. These findings suggest that maternal WSDS exposure may produce a specific and variable alteration in social play initiation, together with changes in stress-related physiology, during early juvenile development. This model may provide a useful framework for investigating how maternal psychosocial stress influences offspring behavioral and physiological development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11086,"journal":{"name":"Developmental psychobiology","volume":"68 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149105645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing evidence suggests that such experiences can alter biological systems during sensitive developmental periods through epigenetic processes. This systematic review aims to synthesize empirical human studies examining how ELS contributes to the developmental programming of mental health via epigenetic regulation of stress-response systems. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases was performed for studies published up to March 2026. Eligible studies included empirical human research investigating associations between ELS, epigenetic mechanisms (primarily DNA methylation), and mental health-related outcomes across developmental stages. A total of 14 studies met inclusion criteria and were synthesized using a qualitative approach. Findings indicate that ELS is associated with persistent epigenetic modifications in key genes regulating stress-response systems, particularly within the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Altered DNA methylation patterns in genes such as NR3C1, FKBP5, SLC6A4, MAOA, and ANK3 were consistently linked to developmental alterations in emotional regulation and increased vulnerability to psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Importantly, evidence highlights early childhood as a sensitive developmental window during which environmental inputs exert stronger and more enduring biological effects. Some studies further suggest that epigenetic profiles may show partial plasticity in response to environmental or therapeutic changes across development. This review supports the concept that ELS contributes to the developmental programming of mental health through epigenetic mechanisms affecting stress-response systems. These findings underscore the importance of timing and environmental context in shaping long-term behavioral outcomes. However, the existing literature remains limited by methodological heterogeneity, including variability in developmental stages, tissue types, and measurement approaches. Future research should prioritize longitudinal and developmentally informed designs to better capture the dynamic interplay between environment, biology, and behavior across the lifespan.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11086,"journal":{"name":"Developmental psychobiology","volume":"68 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149068446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maternal factors during pregnancy powerfully modulate infant microbiome assembly; however, the specific effects of prenatal stress exposure (PSE) on offspring gut microbial communities remain incompletely understood. Here, we present a cross-species systematic review, the first of this scale, examining associations between prenatal stress and offspring gut microbiome composition. Searches of PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and PsycINFO identified 33 review-eligible articles published over the past two decades. Across studies, we evaluated stressor characteristics, offspring age at microbiome assessment, and methodological issues relevant to result interpretation. Although the literature is heterogeneous and reports mixed findings, several recurring patterns emerge. Most studies report an increased relative abundance of Proteobacteria and reduced levels of early-life beneficial taxa from the Actinobacteria and Firmicutes phyla following PSE, driving a negative shift toward a pro-inflammatory profile and early-life dysbiosis. At the genus level, decreases in <i>Bifidobacterium</i>, <i>Lactobacillus</i>, <i>Muribaculum</i>, and <i>Parabacteroides</i> are frequently observed, alongside increases in <i>Klebsiella, Enterobacter</i>, and <i>Sutterella</i>, taxonomic shifts that disrupt gut homeostasis and are associated with increased lifelong risks for metabolic, inflammatory, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Differences between human cohorts and animal models regarding alpha diversity patterns and beta diversity clustering are identified. Finally, we explore methodological limitations in the existing literature and discuss recent advances and recommendations to support the continued development of research on prenatal stress, the gut microbiome, and developmental outcomes. Altogether, our study demonstrates that while PSE acts as a powerful upstream ecological modifier of the early-life gut microbiota across species, its long-term biological embedding is heavily moderated by sex, developmental timing, and specific environmental context.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11086,"journal":{"name":"Developmental psychobiology","volume":"68 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148966915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
