摘要
Communication among the brain, gut and microbiota in the gut is known to affect the susceptibility to stress, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here we demonstrated that stress resistance in mice was associated with more abundant Lactobacillus and Akkermansia in the gut, but less abundant Bacteroides, Alloprevotella, Helicobacter, Lachnoclostridium, Blautia, Roseburia, Colidextibacter and Lachnospiraceae NK4A136. Stress -sensitive animals showed higher permeability and stronger immune responses in their colon, as well as higher levels of pro -inflammatory cytokines in serum. Their hippocampus also showed more extensive microglial activation, abnormal interactions between microglia and neurons, and lower synaptic plasticity. Transplanting fecal microbiota from stress -sensitive mice into naive ones perturbed microglia-neuron interactions and impaired synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, translating to more depression -like behavior after stress exposure. Conversely, transplanting fecal microbiota from stress -resistant mice into naive ones protected microglia from activation and preserved synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, leading to less depression -like behavior after stress exposure. These results suggested that gut microbiota may influence resilience to chronic psychological stress by regulating microglia-neuron interactions in the hippocampus.
