Myriad findings connect stress and inflammation to mood disorders. Social defeat in mice promotes the convergence of neuronal, central inflammatory (microglia), and peripheral immune (monocytes) pathways causing anxiety, social avoidance, and "stress-sensitization." Stress-sensitization results in augmented inflammation and the recurrence of anxiety after re-exposure to social stress. Different cell compartments, including neurons, may be uniquely sensitized by social defeat-induced interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if glutamatergic neuronal IL-1 receptor signaling was essential in promoting stress-sensitization after social defeat. Here, wild-type (IL-1R1+/+) mice and mice with IL-1 receptor-1 deleted selectively in glutamatergic neurons (Vglut2-IL-1R1-/-) were stress-sensitized by social defeat (6-cycles) and then exposed to acute defeat (1-cycle) at day 30. Acute defeat-induced neuronal activation (ΔFosB and phospo-CREB) in the hippocampus of stress-sensitized mice was dependent on neuronal IL-1R1. Moreover, acute defeat-induced social withdrawal and working memory impairment in stress-sensitized mice were also dependent on neuronal IL-1R1. To address region and time dependency, an AAV2-IL-1 receptor antagonist construct was administered into the hippocampus after sensitization, but prior to acute defeat at day 30. Although stress-sensitized mice had increased hippocampal pCREB and decreased working memory after stress re-exposure, these events were not influenced by AAV2-IL-1 receptor antagonist. Hippocampal ΔFosB induction and corresponding social withdrawal in stress-sensitized mice after stress re-exposure were prevented by the AAV2-IL-1 receptor antagonist. Collectively, IL-1 signaling in glutamatergic neurons of the hippocampus was essential in neuronal-sensitization after social defeat and the recall of social withdrawal.
