Aggravation of lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive-like behavior in CCR4-deficient mice

Increasing evidence indicates that immune abnormalities are associated with the pathogenesis of depression. CCR4 is a chemokine receptor that regulates regulatory T cell (Treg) and Th17 cell migration. Here, using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression mouse model, we demonstrated that CCR4 d...

description Increasing evidence indicates that immune abnormalities are associated with the pathogenesis of depression. CCR4 is a chemokine receptor that regulates regulatory T cell (Treg) and Th17 cell migration. Here, using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression mouse model, we demonstrated that CCR4 deficiency exacerbated depressive-like behavior. Tregs and M2 macrophages, but not Th17 cells, were decreased in the brain of CCR4-deficient mice. Consistently, treatment with a CCR4 inhibitor reduced Tregs and M2 macrophages in the brain and exacerbated depressive-like behavior. Thus, CCR4 may contribute to the reduction of depressive symptoms by promoting Treg recruitment to the brain and subsequent M2 macrophage polarization.
