摘要
Background: Anxiety disorder is highly prevalent worldwide and represents a chronic and functionally disabling condition, with high levels of psychological stress characterized by cognitive and physiological symptoms. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical significance of gut microbiota regulating microRNA (miR)-206-3p as a biomarker in the anxiety-like behaviors.Methods: Initially, bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the related factors for gut microbiota affecting anxiety-like behaviors. Next, the anxiety-like behaviors in mice were measured by multiple experiments. Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were utilized to measure the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neutrophil expressed (NE) in brain tissues and serum and cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB) phosphorylation in brain tissues of germ-free (GF) mice. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to verify the relationship between miR-206-3p and Cbp/p300 interacting transactivator with Glu/Asp rich carboxyterminal domain 2 (Cited2)/serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39). Ectopic expression and depletion experiments of miR-206-3p were conducted to determine the expression of miR-206-3p and mRNA and protein levels of Cited2, and STK39 in HT22 cells and brain tissues. Finally, transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe the effects of miR-206-3p on hippocampal mitochondria and synapses.Results: Gut microbiota could elevate miR-206-3p expression in brain tissues to increase the anxiety-like behaviors. GF mice displayed the increased levels of 5-HT, BDNF, and NE in brain tissues and serum and CREB phosphorylation in brain tissues. Cited2/STK39 was identified as the target genes of miR-206-3p. Upregulated miR-206-3p increased anxiety-like behaviors by promoting degeneration of mitochondria and synapses in hippocampus via downregulation of Cited2 and STK39. Conclusions: In conclusion, the key findings of the current study demonstrate that gut microbiota aggravated anxiety-like behaviors via the miR-206-3p/Cited2/STK39 axis.
