Methods We Used chronic unpredictable stress to establish depression mice model. Sucrose preference, forced swimming, tail suspension, and Social interaction test were evaluate depression-like behaviors. Immunofluorescence double-stained microglia marker Iba-1 and microglia activation marker OX-42 were used to evaluate the proliferation and activation of microglia in the hippocampus of mice. TUNEL kit was used to detect microglia apoptosis. RT-qPCR was used to detect miR-373 expression. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of P2X7R and pyrolysis-related proteins. The targeting relationship between miR-373 and P2X7R was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Results In mice treated with chronic unpredictable stress, sucrose preference and social time were significantly reduced, and immobility time of forced swimming and tail suspension was significantly increased (P < 0.05). miR-373 washighly expressed, and alleviated depression-like behavior in depression model mice (P < 0.05). miR-373 targeted and negatively regulated P2X7R expression in microglia ofmice hippocampus (P < 0.01). miR-373 inhibited the proliferation and activation of microglia (P < 0.01). miR-373 inhibited caspase-1, c-caspase-1, NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 expression, and the apoptosis of microglia (P < 0.05). Conclusion ImiR-373 inhibits P2X7R expression to alleviate depression-like behavior, and inhibit the activation and pyroptosis of microglia in the hippocampus of depression mice. -
