Sex and region-specific effects of variable stress on microglia morphology

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a common and debilitating mood disorder that is more prevalent in women than men. In humans, PET imaging of microglia activation is currently being explored as a potential biomarker of MDD and suicidal ideation. Stress is a trigger for many mood disorders, includin...

Microglial changes in morphology and activation state in response to stress has been reported in various brain regions, but most studies only examined male subjects.

There were no effects of stress in either sex at either timepoint in CA1.

Furthermore, both drug and stress have impact on microglia morphology and activation state in the NAc. These data suggest that microglia morphology and activation state are altered by 6 days of variable stress in a region-specific manner and may contribute to, or potentially compensate for, the onset of stress susceptibility rather than impacting long term exposure to stress.Mariya TsyglakovaAlisa M.
