Non-invasive modulation of vagal pathways has received increasing attention as a potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of stress-related conditions, given the central role of the vagus nerve in brain-body communication. By stimulating auricular vagal afferents, transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) is proposed to engage stress regulatory circuits, with downstream effects that may modulate stress-related physiology. Consistent with this mechanistic rationale, preclinical rodent research has begun investigating the effectiveness of taVNS as a non-invasive approach to mitigate stress-related outcomes. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize this emerging preclinical evidence, focusing on potential mechanisms involving central neural circuits implicated in stress regulation, as well as downstream autonomic function, inflammatory signaling pathways, and gut microbiota composition. Collectively, available studies support taVNS as a multi-system modulator of stress responses acting through interconnected neural, autonomic, immune, and gut-brain pathways. However, preclinical taVNS research remains at an early stage. Major unresolved challenges include the lack of standardized stimulation parameters and insufficient consideration of biological sex as a critical experimental variable. Addressing these limitations will be essential to improve reproducibility and strengthen translational relevance.</p>","PeriodicalId":51173,"journal":{"name":"Stress-The International Journal on the Biology of Stress","volume":"29 1","pages":"2684153"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310524","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}

In this study, we exposed female mice to chronic restraint stress (CRS) for 2 weeks, which induced both depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors. We then collected genomic DNA and total RNA from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a brain region critically involved in depression pathophysiology, and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and whole-genome enzymatic methylation sequencing (EM-seq) to investigate stress-related transcriptional and epigenetic changes. Transcriptomic analysis identified 105 upregulated and 71 downregulated genes in the mPFC of CRS-exposed mice. Notably, CRS increased the expression of genes associated with the complement and coagulation cascades, while downregulating the expression of genes encoding neurotransmitter receptors, their downstream signaling regulators, and markers of neuronal activity. Epigenetic profiling revealed 6,848 hypermethylated and 4,530 hypomethylated regions, with CRS altering both CG- and CHH-type DNA methylation. Integrative analysis uncovered 13 downregulated genes with significant hypermethylation, most of which were implicated in neuronal activity regulation, and 8 upregulated genes with hypomethylation. Our findings suggest that CRS-induced DNA hypermethylation at CG and CHH sites in the female mPFC may contribute to stress-induced transcriptional dysregulation, potentially driving anxiodepressive-like behaviors.

ATF4 was upregulated in mechanical trauma-induced fibroblast, and ATF4 silencing promoted mechanical trauma-induced fibroblast proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. ATF4 bound to the miR-93-3p promoter and inhibited miR-93-3p expression. miR-93-3p targeted Smad7 3'UTR to downregulate Smad7 expression. miR-93-3p depletion or Smad7 overexpression could partially neutralize the role of ATF4 knockdown in mechanical trauma-induced fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis. ATF4 promotes apoptosis and inhibits the proliferation of mechanical trauma-induced fibroblasts via the miR-93-3p/Smad7 axis, providing a potential candidate therapeutic target for mechanical trauma-induced SUI.</p>","PeriodicalId":51173,"journal":{"name":"Stress-The International Journal on the Biology of Stress","volume":"28 1","pages":"2579503"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145642233","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}
