  Dark matter (DM) refers to a new type of matter that may explain observed
rotation curves of galaxies and the composite structure of the Universe. It may
couple to the Standard Model particles via portals, which include the
possibility of axion-like particle, light Higgs boson, dark photon and spin-1/2
fermions. The axion-like particle and light Higgs boson can be accessible via
radiative decays of $J/\psi$ while the dark photon via initial-state radiation
process using the data of high-intensity $e^+e^-$ collider experiments, such as
the BESIII experiment. DM may be depicted as baryonic matter in an invisible
final state. The presence of a massless dark photon, predicted by the
spontaneous broken of Abelian group $U(1)_D$, may enhance the branching
fractions of rare flavor changing neutral current decay processes. BESIII
experiment has recently explored the possibility of these DM scenarios using
the data samples collected at several energy points, including $J/\psi$ and
$\psi(3686)$ resonances. This report summarizes the recent results of the
BESIII experiment related to the dark-sector and Axion-like particles.
