Stress-Induced Metabolic Disorder in Peripheral CD4+ T Cells Leads to Anxiety-like Behavior
Introduction:
Chronic stress (CS) are pathological conditions that increase the risk of depression and anxiety. Stress exposure causes the dysfunction of peripheral T lymphocytes. However, the pathological role and underlying regulatory mechanism of peripheral T lymphocytes in mood disorders have not been well established. This study implicates a critical link between a purine metabolic disorder in CD4+ T cells and stress-driven anxiety-like behavior.
