Botulinum neurotoxin A ameliorates depressive-like behavior in a reserpine-induced Parkinson's disease mouse model via suppressing hippocampal microglial engulfment and neuroinflammation

Depression is one of the common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease(PD).In the clinic,botulinum neurotoxin A(BoNT/A)has been used to treat depression.In this study,we investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-depressive effect of BoNT/A in a PD mouse model.Mice were administered reserpine(3 μg/mL in the drinking water)for 10 weeks.From the 10th week,BoNT/A(10 U.kg-1·d-1)was injected into the cheek for 3 consecutive days.We showed that chronic administration of reserpine produced the behavioral phenotypes of depression and neurochemical changes in the substantia nigra pars compacta(SNpc)and striatum.BoNT/A treatment significantly ameliorated the depressive-like behaviors,but did not improve TH activity in SNpc of reserpine-treated mice.We demonstrated that BoNT/A treatment reversed reserpine-induced complement and microglia activation in the hippocampal CA1 region.Furthermore,BoNT/A treatment significantly attenuated the microglial engulfment of presynaptic synapses,thus ameliorating the apparent synapse and spine loss in the hippocampus in the reserpine-treated mice.Moreover,BoNT/A treatment suppressed microglia-mediated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β in reserpine-treated mice.In addition,we showed that BoNT/A(0.1 U/mL)ameliorated reserpine-induced complement and microglia activation in mouse BV2 microglial cells in vitro.We conclude that BoNT/A ameliorates depressive-like behavior in a reserpine-induced PD mouse model through reversing the synapse loss mediated by classical complement induced-microglial engulfment as well as alleviating microglia-mediated proinflammatory responses.● Botulinum neurotoxin A ameliorates reserpine-induced depressive behaviors.● Complement activation is involved in the reserpine-induced mouse model.● Botulinum neurotoxin A reverses spine loss and reduced synapse density.● Botulinum neurotoxin A inhibits complement activation and microglial engulfment.● Botulinum neurotoxin A alleviates reserpine-induced neuroinflammation.
