Patients with MDD exhibit alterations in their dopamine (DA) signaling pathways through the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA).

Prior studies demonstrate that CSDS-susceptible mice have increased VTA DA neuronal excitability, in part driven by an upregulation in hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels. Inhibiting HCN channels with known inhibitors such as Cilobradine alleviates the negative behavioral effects of CSDS. Here, we aimed to identify Cilobradine analogs with improved neural tropism and inhibitory efficacy. Two compounds, <b>MS7710</b> and <b>MS7712</b>, differing by their left-hand side moieties, have a similar, potent inhibitory effect on VTA DA <i>I</i><sub>h</sub> currents as compared to Cilobradine, and a greater inhibitory effect than Cilobradine on VTA DA firing rate.

They were efficacious at inhibiting VTA DA neuron firing rate and bursting activity in CSDS-susceptible male mice at lower doses than Cilobradine, which was recapitulated in female CSDS-susceptible mice with <b>MS7710</b>. Finally, we define that a single intraperitoneal injection of <b>MS7710</b> ameliorates CSDS-induced social interaction deficits and reward-associated cognitive inflexibility for at least two weeks in male and female mice.

It is widely reported that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with the highest risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization and mortality. However, it remains largely unclear about the link between AD and COVID-19. ACE2 is an entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2. We consider that there may be a link between AD and COVID-19 through the expression of ACE2. Here, we summarize recent findings about the ACE2 expression especially in AD and COVID-19, and shows that (1) ACE2 shows mRNA and protein expression in human brain tissues, especially in neurons and non-neuron cells; (2) low ACE2 mRNA and protein expression are sufficient for SARS-CoV-2 entry into the human brain through the neural route (olfactory and/or vagal) and the hematogenous route; (3) SARS-CoV-2 RNA and protein were detected in brains of COVID-19 patients; (4) SARS-CoV-2 infects and replicates in human brain dependent on ACE2; (5) SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA load shows a positive association with ACE2 mRNA levels and COVID-19 severity; (6) ACE2 shows increased expression in AD compared with controls in human brain; (7) ACE2 shows increased expression in COVID-19 compared with controls in human brain; (8) ACE2 expression levels affect COVID-19 outcomes. Together, ACE2 shows significantly increased mRNA and protein expression in AD compared with controls in human brain. Consequently, the increased expression of ACE2 would facilitate infection with SARS-CoV-2, and play a role in the context of COVID-19.

Importantly, comparing stressed versus control maternal and umbilical cord blood serum presented alterations that were not limited to individual tRFs, but rather reflected selective changes in particular tRF families grouped by their mitochondrial or nuclear genome origin, parental tRNA coded amino acid, and cleavage type.

Several of these tRFs carry complementary motifs to particular cholinergic mRNAs, suggesting possible translational regulation similar to microRNAs.

Our analyses reveal that D1 MSNs display many convergent transcriptional responses between the two drug classes, whereas D2 MSNs manifest highly divergent responses, with morphine causing more adaptations in this cell type. Utilizing multiscale embedded gene co-expression network analysis (MEGENA), we discerned transcriptional regulatory networks subserving biological functions altered by cocaine vs. morphine. We observed largely integrative engagement of overlapping gene networks across drug classes in D1 MSNs, but opposite regulation of key D2 networks, highlighting potential therapeutic gene network targets within MSNs. Analysis of gene regulatory systems at the level of enhancers revealed that morphine engages a unique enhancer landscape in D2 MSNs compared to cocaine.

A sample of 58 healthy comparisons (HCs) and 61 individuals with affective disorders displaying elevated anxiety symptoms (iADs; i.e., anxiety and/or depression) completed a previously validated explore-exploit decision task, with and without an added breathing resistance manipulation designed to induce state anxiety. Computational modeling revealed a significant group-by-condition interaction, such that information-seeking (i.e., directed exploration) in HCs was reduced by the anxiety induction (Cohen’s <i>d</i> = 0.47, <i>p</i> = 0.013), while no change was observed in iADs. The iADs also showed slower learning rates than HCs across conditions (Cohen’s <i>d</i> = 0.52, <i>p</i> = 0.003), suggesting their uncertainty decreased more slowly over time. These findings highlight a complex interplay between trait anxiety and state anxiety. Specifically, state anxiety may attenuate reflection on uncertainty in healthy individuals, while familiarity with anxious states in those with high trait anxiety may create an insensitivity to this effect.</p>","PeriodicalId":19008,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Psychiatry","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143782538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
