摘要

该文旨在探究羊栖菜多酚提取物(Sargassum fusiforme polyphenol extract,SFP)对小鼠抑郁症状的缓解作用及其作用机制。采用慢性不可预知温和应激(chronic unpredictable mild stress,CUMS)的方法构建C57BL/6 J小鼠抑郁模型,通过设置不同剂量SFP干预组,系统评估其对模型小鼠体重变化、行为学特征、神经递质水平、下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal,HPA)轴功能、炎症因子表达及海马组织病理学的影响。与空白组相比,模型组小鼠体重显著降低(P<0.05),并在糖水偏好等行为学实验中表现出抑郁行为。同时,模型组小鼠海马体齿状回(dentate gyrus,DG)区神经元数量、五羟色胺(5-hydroxy tryptamine,5-HT)等神经递质含量以及IL-10等抗炎因子水平显著降低(P<0.05);此外,HPA轴相关激素水平和IL-1β等促炎因子含量显著升高(P<0.05);SFP干预后上述指标均得以逆转,且呈剂量依赖性。SFP可能通过缓解HPA轴亢奋、修复受损海马神经元、调节神经递质和炎症水平等多种途径,综合发挥抗抑郁作用。该研究拓展了抗抑郁领域,为海洋藻类资源在功能性食品和健康产业中的高值化开发利用提供了新方向。

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the antidepressant effects of Sargassum fusiforme polyphenol extract (SFP) and its underlying mechanisms.A chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model was established in C57BL/6 J mice to induce depression-like behaviors.Mice were then administered varying doses of SFP to systematically evaluate its effects on body weight, behavioral performance, neurotransmitter levels, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, inflammatory cytokine expression, and hippocampal histopathology.Compared with the control group, the CUMS group exhibited a significant reduction in body weight (P<0.05) and depressive-like behaviors in tests such as the sucrose preference test.Furthermore, the CUMS group showed a marked decrease in the number of neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) region, levels of neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and levels of anti-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-10 (P<0.05).Concurrently, there was a significant increase in HPA axis-related hormones and pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1 beta (P<0.05).SFP intervention reversed these abnormalities in a dose-dependent manner.Mechanistically, SFP may exert its antidepressant effects through multiple pathways, including alleviating HPA axis hyperactivity, repairing damaged hippocampal neurons, and regulating neurotransmitter and inflammation levels.This study expands the field of antidepression and provides a new direction for the high-value development and utilization of marine algae resources in functional foods and the health industry.
