Effects of Chronic Restraint Stress or Single Prolonged Stress models on behaviors, protein, metabolites and genes.
| Specific effects of PTSD model on protein, metabolite and/or gene manipulation | Functional effects of PTSD model on protein, metabolite and/or gene or pharmacological manipulation | Region of interest | Behavioral phenotype | PTSD-like effects | Authors and year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRS reduced ETC Complexes I, II, III, IV | Reduction of Complexes critical to mitochondrial ETC function and cellular respiration | Hippocampus, and Frontal Cortex | Sucrose preference was reduced on weeks 2, 3, and 4 of CRS | Increase in anhedonialike behaviors | Aboul-Fouh 2013 |
| Mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is a stress response that activates the transcription of mitochondrial chaperones; CRS induced upregulation of UPRmt and reduced oxygen consumption | CRS-induced promotion of protein homeostasis and reduced oxidative metabolism | Forebrain | CRS induced depressive-like immobility in both the TST and FST | Increase in depressiomnlike behavioirs | Kembe and Miyata (2015) |
| In a gene enrichment analysis, CRS produced altered mitochondrial energy synthesis pathways such as “oxidative phosphorylation”, “aerobic electron transport chain”, and “mitochondrial electron transport”; CRS induced upregulation of mtDNA encoded genes of the ETC Complexes I, III and IV and reduced mitochondrial respiration | Stress-induced alterations in PFC “oxidative phosphorylation” explained behavioral changes after CRS | PFC and Nucleus Accumbens | CRS mice reduced time spent in social interaction, increased social avoidance, increased immobility in the FST | Increase in anxiety and social avoidance | Wegner et al. (2020) |
| CRS decreased MnSOD expression was detected in and increased mitochondrial fission protein | Decreases in MnSOD protection from ROS damage. Increased mitochondrial fission to respond to stress | Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex | CRS increased immobility time compared to controls. Results in MWM, indicated the CRS rats required more time to find the hidden platform than the control group | Increase in depressionrelated behaviors and cognitive impairments | Suwanjang et al. (2021) |
| CRS increased ROS and reduced antioxidant levels of GSH, MDA and total antioxidant capacity. CRS increased inflammatory responses of TNF-α and NF-κB and IL-1β of mitochondrial fractions. CRS disrupted MMP, and increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. CRS increased cleavage of procaspase 9 and pro-caspase 3 | CRS produced mitochondrial dysfunctions in MMP, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. CRS also shifted the balance of oxidant and antioxidant components | PFC and Hippocampus | CRS reduced the open arm time and entries in the EPM and increased immobility time in TST and FST | Increased anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors | Salehpour et al. (2019) |
| CRS produced increases in oxidative stress markers, MDA and glutathione, and reduced antioxidants glutathione SOD and catalase activity. CRS reduced activities of ETC complexes I–IV. CRS reduced activation Nrf2 pathway, an orchestrated gene expression of enzymes involved in oxidative defense | CRS reduced ETC chain proteins, increased oxidative markers, reduced antioxidants and decreased an oxidative defense protein | Hippocampus | CRS reduced the percentage of sucrose solution in SPT. In OFT CRS decreased the number of open field crossings and entrances into the central zone. CRS also increased stereotypic behaviors, grooming and rearing compared in the OFT. In the FST, CRS reduced swimming time, struggling time and increased immobility time | Increase in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors | Abuelez et al. (2018) |
| CRS produced damage mitochondrial structure, and induced agglutination and reduction of synaptic vesicles; CRS decreased number of total synapses, axo-dendritic synapses, presynaptic terminals and increased presynaptic terminals with granular synaptic vesicles | CRS produced mitochondrial structural damage and reduced axo-dendritic synapses and presynaptic synaptic terminals | CNA | In the EPM, CRS increased rearing and grooming stereotyped behaviors and reduced open and center arms entry/time; CRS increased entries and time in closed arms | Increased anxiety-like behaviors | Zhavnia et al., 2022 |
| SPS group showed marked swelling of mitochondria and crista degranulation; SPS produced apoptosis markers in neurons with iron accumulation | SPS produces mitochondrial degradation, apoptosis and iron accumulation | Hippocampus, and Prefrontal Cortex | In the EPM, SPS reduced open arm time and distance and arm entries. In the OFT, SPS rats showed reductions in central time and total distance | Increased anxiety-like behaviors | Zhao et al. (2016) |
| SPS reduced mitochondrial respiration in ETC Complexes II, III, and V and reduced MMP | SRS reduced mitochondrial bioenergetics, mitochondrial enzyme activities, and MMP | Prefrontal Cortex | SPS and repeated FC produced freezing behavior. In EPM, time spent/entries in the open arm were decreased; In Ymaze, exploratory behavior was reduced | Increases in fear- and anxiety-like and reductions in exploratory behaviors | Bhattacharhee et al. (2021) |
