- W3037913636 abstract "Studies have shown that the ginsenoside Rg1 can improve depressive symptoms in vitro and in vivo. However, the efficacy of Rg1on the hippocampal astrocyte gap junctions in depression are unclear. We mainly aimed to explore the relationship between Rg1, hippocampal astrocyte gap junctions and depression. Using primary cultured astrocytes, corticosterone (CORT) was used to induce stress. CORT (100 μM) significantly reduced the survival rate in astrocytes, and this effect was prevented by additional Rg1 administration. Interestingly, the gap junction blocker carbenoxolone (CBX) was able to revert this Rg1 effect. In in vivo models, one group was exposed to chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) for 47 days, while another group was bilaterally injected with CBX (100 μM) into the hippocampal CA1 region. Rats treated with Rg1 (20 mg/kg) showed an improvement in the sucrose preference and the forced swimming test in both models, indicating an antidepressive activity of Rg1. The levels of astrocyte gap junction connexin 43 (Cx43) were detected by immunofluorescence (IF) and western blotting. The levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by IF. The gap junctions in the hippocampal CA1 area were evaluated using dye transfer and electron microscopy. The reduction in Cx43 expression, the decrease in the Cx43 to GFAP ratio, the shorter dye diffusion distance, and the abnormal ultrastructure of gap junctions in rats exposed to CUS were markedly alleviated by concomitant Rg1 treatment. Taken together, the ginsenoside Rg1 could improve depression-like behavior in rats induced by astrocyte gap junction dysfunction in the hippocampus." @default.
