Abstract EN
Jieyu Anshen granule (JY) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating depression and anxiety.
The aim of the study was to observe the effects of JY on poststroke depression (PSD) and investigate the underlying mechanism.
PSD rat model was developed by middle cerebral artery occlusion following chronic unpredictable mild stress in conjunction with isolation rearing.
We performed behavioral tests, Western blot, ELISA, and BrdU/NeuN staining.
Treatment with JY showed significant antidepressant effect in open-field and sucrose preference tests, as well as significant improvement in beam-walking, cylinder, grip strength, and water maze tests.
In addition, treatment with JY could restore the levels of neurotransmitters and decrease the levels of hormone and inflammation cytokines in serum and brain.
Treatment with JY also showed significant regulation in the expression of neurotransmitter receptors and NF-κB/IκB-α signaling in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
Moreover, the numbers of newborn neurons in the hippocampus were increased by treatment with JY.
Our results suggest that JY could ameliorate PSD and improve the neurological and cognitive functions.
The antidepressive effect may be associated with the modulation of JY on monoamine system, neuroendocrine, neuroinflammation, and neurogenesis.
