| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effects of resolvins, metabolites of ω-3 fatty acids, on depression and anxiety symptoms associated with chronic pain. The intracerebroventricular administration of resolvin D1 (RvD1), D2 (RvD2), El (RvE1), and E2 (RvE2) demonstrated antidepressant effects in LPS-induced depression model mice. It was suggested that antidepressant effect of RvD1 is mediated through PI3K-mTOR pathway and MEK / ERK-mTOR pathway, and that antidepressant action of RvD2 is mediated by MEK / ERK-mTOR pathway. It was also suggested that the antidepressant effect of RvE1 is mediated through the ChemR23-mTOR pathway. Furthermore, in the chronic pain (SNI) model mouse, intracerebroventricular administration of Chemerin, an agonist of RvE1 or ChemR23, showed antidepressant effects. These results suggest that resolvins could improve the depressive symptoms caused by pain.
