Asiaticoside Attenuates Chronic Restraint Stress-Induced Hippocampal CA1 Neuronal Ferroptosis via Activating BDNF/Nrf2/GPX4 Signaling Pathway by Zhou A, Feng HY, Fan CN, Wang J, Yuan ZY, Xu GH, Li CF, Huang WF, Yi LT

“…Our research aims to elucidate the potential antidepressant mechanisms of asiaticoside, a bioactive compound known for its neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties.Methods: The antidepressant-like properties of asiaticoside in a model of chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced depression in mice, with a particular focus on its interaction with ferroptosis-related pathways.Results: The behavioral results revealed that asiaticoside significantly ameliorated CRS-induced depressive symptoms, as evidenced by increased sucrose preference and reduced immobility time. At the molecular level, asiaticoside enhanced the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), phosphorylated tropomyosin receptor kinase B (pTrkB), phosphorylated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (pNrf2), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), indicating its neuroprotective and antioxidative effects. …”
