Research on the effects and related mechanisms of geomagnetic storm on depression
Objective
Depression has become disabling disease in the world. Geomagnetic storm is closely related to depression behavior, and melatonin is an important factor in the pathogenesis of depression. This study observed the effects of different intensities of geomagnetic storm on melatonin in depressed rats. Aim to provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of depression and other melatonin related mental illnesses during geomagnetic storms.
Methods
In this study, rats with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) were exposed to geomagnetic storms of different intensities for 7 days. The depressive behavior of CUMS rats was determined via the weigh, sucrose preference test, elevated plus maze test, novelty-suppressed feeding test and open field test. Then, through the use of kits, qPCR analysis, immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis of melatonin synthesis, melatonin metabolism and melatonin receptor pathway related indicators. Performed to explore the effects of different intensities of geomagnetism on CUMS rats and the related molecular mechanisms.
Results
The reults showed moderate geomagnetic storms (50 nT) protected against depressive behaviors in CUMS rats by increasing melatonin synthesis and metabolism and MT1 receptor pathway activity, while a extreme geomagnetic storms (500 nT) and shielding from geomagnetic storms (0 nT) inhibited melatonin synthesis and metabolism and the MT1 receptor pathway and aggravated injury.
Conclusions
In this study we found moderate geomagnetic storms (50 nT) protected against depressive behaviors in CUMS rats, while a extreme geomagnetic storms (500 nT) and shielding from geomagnetic storms (0 nT) aggravated injury.
期刊介绍:
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
