Brief Summary: Objectives of Study Through the cross-sectional study of stroke and depression key biomarkers are targeted by screening disease-associated intestinal bacteria metabolites and immune factors through multi-omics techniques
Detailed Description: With environmental changes population aging and the accelerated pace of social life cerebrovascular diseases and mental illnesses have gradually become a major disease burden in China Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally as well as the leading cause of death and disability in China In recent years the prevalence and incidence of stroke have increased significantly in our country Global Burden of Disease 2017 reported a stroke incidence rate of 258 95 CI 234-284 per 100000 person-years and a mortality rate of 88 95 CI 80-94 per 100000 person-years Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with a lifetime prevalence of 15-18 a recurrence rate of approximately 80 and a disease outcome that worsens with increasing age of onset World Health Organization measurements show that the disease burden of depression accounts for 10 of the total burden of all types of illness and disability Its pathogenesis is still unknown treatment options are limited and most patients suffer from recurrent or prolonged illness for life The etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of stroke and depression remain unknown and objective and reliable biological diagnostic markers are lacking

As research strategies focusing on the central nervous system have encountered difficulties the field has begun to look to the periphery for new clues With the advancement of multi-omics studies integrating genome transcriptome epigenome proteome and metabolomics important roles of gut microbiota have been discovered to influence the function and structure of the nervous system by regulating metabolites the immune system and neurotransmitters etc Benakis et al found that gut-derived IL17γδ T cells migrate to the meninges and promote post-stroke injury Clearance of gut microbiota induced changes in dendritic cell activity increased Treg cells and decreased IL17γδ T cells which in turn alleviated stroke injury Therefore T-lymphocytes dependent on intestinal immunity are strongly associated with stroke severity Previous studies have shown that IL-17 produced by γδ T cells in the meninges is an important factor in inducing anxious behavior and IFN-γ is important in maintaining social willingness whereas pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-1β IL-6 and TNF-α produced by inflammatory responses are highly correlated with depression so that T-cell immunity may be associated with depression Stroke and depression present a similar pathogenesis and spectrum of disease traits IL-17γδ T cells have been shown to be involved in the mechanism of injury after ischemic stroke high levels of IL-17 are associated with depression which is a common comorbidity of diseases such as the above This suggests that the relevant immune pathways represented by IL-17 and γδ T cells may be a common pathogenic mechanism for stroke and depression Previous studies have also shown that both diseases exhibit enrichment of Enterobacteriaceae The applicants teams findings published in Gut reveal that ischemic stroke can trigger a disturbance of the gut microbiota characterized by an overproliferation of Enterobacteriaceae and that the disturbed microbiota can further contribute to the progression of brain injury and is associated with poor stroke outcomes The mechanism is that stroke-induced intestinal ischemia leads to an increase in nitrate concentration in the intestinal mucus layer and Enterobacteriaceae which can undergo nitrate respiration overpopulate as a result A systematic review published in Clinical Psychology Review summarized 26 studies including 20 case-control studies and found that the gut microbiota of patients with anxiety and depression exhibited an enrichment of pro-inflammatory bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae Thus disorders of the gut microbiota characterized by Enterobacteriaceae are all associated with the above major brain diseases

In summary stroke and depression patients share common and respective unique characteristics of gut microbiota metabolites and immune factors In this study we intend to identify the key factors of intestinal bacteria and target novel biomarkers in stroke and depression through cross-sectional study of stroke and depression using cutting-edge multi-omics technology
