Abstract
Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent mental illnesses worldwide and have long been thought
to be closely associated to neurotransmitter modulation. There is growing evidence indicating that
changes in the composition of the gut microbiota are related to mental health including anxiety and
depression. In this review, we focus on combining the intestinal microbiota with serotonergic,
dopaminergic, and noradrenergic neurotransmission in brain, with special emphasis on the anxiety-
and depression-like behaviors in stress-related rodent models. Therefore, we reviewed studies
conducted on germ-free rodents, or in animals subjected to microbiota absence using antibiotics,
as well as via the usage of probiotics. All the results strongly support that the brain neurotransmitter
modulation by gut microbiota is indispensable to the physiopathology of anxiety and depression.
However, a lot of work is needed to determine how gut microbiota mediated neurotransmission in
human brain has any physiological significance and, if any, how it can be used in therapy. Overall,
the gut microbiota provides a novel way to alter neurotransmitter modulation in the brain and treat
gut–brain axis diseases, such as anxiety and depression.
Keywords: serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, gut microbiota, anxiety- and depression-like
behavior
Aim
Explain the intestinal microbiota with
neurotransmission in brain, with special emphasis
on the anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in
stress-related rodent models.
The research is for studies including text words related to
microbiota (microbiome or flora) and neurotransmitter,
and anxiety or depression. The search was carried out
using the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase
databases. Researchers included in vivo studies
investigating gut microbiota in relation to anxiety and
depression, and in which neurotransmitters are part of
the pathophysiology, to facilitate comparisons.
Method
The effects of gut microbiota on the brain is to destroy the gut microbial
ecology. Therefore, GF rodents provide a good tool to test the gut
microbial colonization from early to adulthood.
When considering how the bacteria may affect the brain
neurotransmitters, one possible mechanism is that metabolite produced
by the intestinal flora can be used as precursors for the synthesis of
neurotransmitters in the central nervous system; for instance, B. infantis
has been found to increase plasma tryptophan levels, thereby affecting
the transmission of brain.
The limited evidence available on NE in anxiety- and depression-like
behavior suggests that they could be influenced by gut microbiota.
Overall, modifications of gut microbiota can affect brain systems of 5-
HT, DA, and NE in various rodent models of stress, as well as their anxiety-
and depression-like behaviors.
Result
The evidence summarized in this section highlights the
role of gut microbiota in regulating 5-HT modulation in
anxiety- and depression-like behavior in models of
stress. More and more evidence supports that
treatment for anxiety and depression could take
advantage of intervention at the gut microbiota, either
through reasonable use of antibiotics or via
identification of novel microbial strains that influence
the brain serotonergic, dopaminergic, and
noradrenergic activity.
Conclusion
Advantages
Weakness
This journal is possible to
indicate a close connection
between intestinal symbionts
and neurotransmitters in
neuropsychiatric diseases,
and it seems to be a possible
way to communicate along
the gut–brain axis.
This is still an unsolved
question; moreover, the
potential mechanisms of how
the gut microbiota can affect
the anxiety- and depression-
like behavior via
neurotransmitters are
required to validate.
