摘要
Prenatal stress (PS) has an important impact on the brain development of offspring, which can lead to attention deficits, anxiety and depression in offspring. Geniposide (GE) is a kind of iridoid glycoside extracted from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. It has various pharmacological effects and has been proved that have antidepressant effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GE on depression-like behavior in PS-induced male offspring mice and explore the possible molecular mechanisms. We used a prenatal restraint stress model, focusing on male PS-induced offspring mice to study the effects of GE. The results showed that GE administration for 4 weeks significantly improved the depression-like behavior in PS offspring mice, which was manifested by markedly increasing the sucrose preference of PS offspring and the activity in the open field test, and reducing the immobility time in the forced swimming test. In addition, GE significantly reduced the levels of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis-related hormones and exceedingly increased the protein expression of MAP2 and GAP43 in PS offspring. Furthermore, GE increased Glucocorticoid receptors (GR) nuclear translocation in the hippocampus of PS offspring, and enhanced the expression of synaptic plasticity-related proteins. The results of this study showed that GE exerts antidepressant effects in male PS offspring mice by regulating the HPA axis, GR function and proteins related to synaptic plasticity.
