Increasing evidence confirms that sleep deprivation (SD), which induces hippocampal neuroinflammation, is a risk factor for depression. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a novel neuromodulator that plays antidepressant-like role. Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (Sirt1) is well-characterized as a regulator of mood disorder. Furthermore, we have previously reported that H2S upregulates Sirt1 expression in the hippocampus of SD-exposed rats. Here, we explored whether H2S ameliorates depression-and anxiety-like behaviors as well as hippocampal neuroinflammatory in SD-exposed rats and whether Sirt1 mediates these protective roles of H2S. In the present work, we showed that NaHS (a donor of H2S) significantly alleviated depression-and anxiety-like behaviors in the SD-exposed rats tested by novelty-suppressed feeding test (NST), forced swim test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), and elevated plus maze test (EPMT) and that NaHS attenuates neuroinflammatory in the hippocampus of SD-exposed rats, as evidenced by reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) and chemokine CCL2, as well as increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) in the hippocampus. However, Sirt1 inhibitor reversed the protective effects of H2S against SD-induced depression-and anxiety-like behaviors as well as hippocampal neuroinflammatory. In conclusion, H2S antagonizes SD-induced depression-and anxiety-like behaviors and neuroinflammation, which is required hippocampal Sirt1. These findings suggested that H2S is a novel approach to prevent SD-induced depression and anxiety.
