Sympathetic Release of Splenic Monocytes Promotes Recurring Anxiety Following Repeated Social Defeat
Open accessAbstract
Background Neuroinflammatory signaling may contribute to the pathophysiology of chronic anxiety disorders. Previous work showed that repeated social defeat (RSD) in mice promoted stress-sensitization that was characterized by the recurrence of anxiety following subthreshold stress 24 days after RSD. Furthermore, splenectomy following RSD prevented the recurrence of anxiety in stress-sensitized mice. We hypothesize that the spleen of RSD-exposed mice became a reservoir of primed monocytes that were released following neuroendocrine activation by subthreshold stress.Methods Mice were subjected to subthreshold stress (i.e., single cycle of social defeat) 24 days after RSD, and immune and behavioral measures were taken.Results Subthreshold stress 24 days after RSD re-established anxiety-like behavior that was associated with egress of Ly6C(hi) monocytes from the spleen. Moreover, splenectomy before RSD blocked monocyte trafficking to the brain and prevented anxiety-like behavior following subthreshold stress. Splenectomy, however, had no effect on monocyte accumulation or anxiety when determined 14 hours after RSD. In addition, splenocytes cultured 24 days after RSD exhibited a primed inflammatory phenotype. Peripheral sympathetic inhibition before subthreshold stress blocked monocyte trafficking from the spleen to the brain and prevented the re-establishment of anxiety in RSD-sensitized mice. Last, β-adrenergic antagonism also prevented splenic monocyte egress after acute stress.Conclusions The spleen served as a unique reservoir of primed monocytes that were readily released following sympathetic activation by subthreshold stress that promoted the re-establishment of anxiety. Collectively, the long-term storage of primed monocytes in the spleen may have a profound influence on recurring anxiety disorders.

“In fact, RSD significantly decreases B-cell and T-cell lymphocytes in the BM and circulation (Engler et al, 2004;McKim et al, 2015), thereby shifting hematopoiesis to produce myeloid lineage cells.”

In the citing paper
“However, reexposure to a single cycle of social defeat 24 days after RSD reactivated the neuroimmune axis, leading to increased monocyte trafficking to the brain and elevated proinflammatory cytokine signaling (Wohleb et al, 2014a;McKim et al, 2015).”

“Support for the role of spleen-derived monocytes to influence the inflammatory state of resident microglia comes from the finding that splenectomy attenuated microglial cytokine expression (Wohleb et al, 2014a;McKim et al, 2015).”

In the citing paper
“Similar to the egress of monocytes from the BM after RSD, differentiation and release of splenic monocytes following stress reexposure is likely mediated by noradrenergic signaling via circulating or direct sympathetic nervous system innervation of the spleen (McKim et al, 2015).”
From Repeated Social Defeat, Neuroinflammation, and Behavior: Monocytes Carry the Signal (2017) · cites this paper as McKim et al, 2015
In the citing paper
“Interestingly, trafficking of peripheral monocytes to the brain was not primarily driven by monocyte production and egress from the BM, such as what occurs following initial exposure to RSD.Instead, reexposure to subthreshold stress caused the release of primed monocytes from a splenic monocyte reservoir (Wohleb et al, 2014a;McKim et al, 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
