Depression is a serious social disease in which a feeling of helplessness and depressed mood persists, affecting physical activity and mental function, leading to deterioration of daily functions. Various antidepressants have been developed for the treatment of depression over the past few decades, most of which act by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters. However, antidepressants are ineffective in some patients and have side effects that cause central nervous system and gastrointestinal disturbances. Accordingly, there is an increasing demand for natural products that have a low risk of side effects and have antidepressant effects. Hemp seeds are rich in protein and fat, are easily digestible, and help improve blood circulation, anti-inflammatory and constipation. In addition, hemp seeds contain cannabinoids that have anti-inflammatory, anxiety-reducing, stress-reducing, and analgesic effects, so it can be used as a non-pharmacological treatment for depression.
Three experiments in this study were designed to evaluate the antidepressant effects of hemp seeds ethanol extract (HE) and ethyl acetate fraction (EA) in invertebrate and vertebrate models. In an invertebrate model, the antidepressant effect of HE was confirmed in a Drosophila model with chlorpromazine (CPZ)-induced depression. Administration of HE significantly reversed the CPZ-induced reductions of daytime activity and nighttime sleep. In addition, HE significantly increased the mRNA expression levels of dopaminergic and serotonergic receptors and antioxidant enzymes, and significantly increased the levels of depression-related neurotransmitters compared to control group.
In a vertebrate model, the antidepressant effects of HE and EA were evaluated in unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS)-induced depressed mice. Administration of HE and EA significantly improved behavioral factors related to depression, such as decreased sucrose preference and increased immobility time in tail suspension test and forced swimming test, compared with control group. In addition, the UCMS-induced changes in the levels of stress hormones and neurotransmitters were significantly reversed by administration of HE and EA. EA relieves depressive symptoms more effectively than HE, and shows antidepressant effects through upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling.
Finally, the effects of HE and EA on changes in the gut microbiota were investigated in a UCMS-induced mouse model. UCMS reduced species diversity and richness and caused intestinal microbiota dysbiosis in the intestinal microbiota. Administration of EA significantly increased species diversity and the concentration of short chain fatty acids, a major metabolite of microorganisms, compared to the control group. Furthermore, the major microbial changes associated with depression were improved with the administration of EA. In particular, EA decreased the relative abundance of Deferribacteraceae and significantly increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillaceae compared to the control group.
In conclusion, HE and EA alleviate depressive symptoms by increasing dopaminergic and serotonergic signaling, upregulating BDNF pathway, a major signaling pathway in depression, and improving the dysbiosis of gut microbiome
