Abstract

To investigate the associations between the neurotoxicity of sevoflurane and the neuroprotection provided by dexmedetomidine, we measured apoptotic gene and protein expression, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and receptor expression, and neuronal apoptosis. Pregnant rats were treated with dexmedetomidine, 2.5% sevoflurane for 6 h, or a combination of 2.5% sevoflurane for 6 h with dexmedetomidine on gestational day 18 (G18). The apoptotic genes and proteins expression, BDNF and receptor expression, and neuronal apoptosis were assessed in offspring hippocampi on postnatal day 1 (P1) and P41. Dendritic spine density, synaptophysin protein fluorescence staining, and cognitive function were evaluated on P41. Maternal sevoflurane exposure increased Bax mRNA and protein expression, decreased Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression, enhanced neuronal apoptosis, decreased the ratio of mature BDNF (mBDNF) to proBDNF, reduced mBDNF and tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) protein expression, and increased p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) protein expression in the hippocampi of neonatal rats. In juvenile rats, maternal sevoflurane exposure reduced mBDNF and TrkB protein expression, dendritic spine density, the proportion of time spent in the target quadrant, and the number of crossings over the platform while increasing escape latency in the Morris water maze. All abnormalities induced by maternal sevoflurane exposure, except for mBDNF levels on P41, were alleviated by dexmedetomidine. Dexmedetomidine mitigates sevoflurane-induced neuronal development abnormalities and cognitive impairments during late pregnancy by improving hippocampal Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA and protein expression, as well as proBDNF-p75NTR and mBDNF-TrkB protein expression in offspring.

右美托咪定通过调节凋亡通路和BDNF受体表达减轻妊娠后期七氟醚诱导的神经毒性。
为了研究七氟醚的神经毒性与右美托咪定提供的神经保护之间的关系,我们测量了凋亡基因和蛋白表达、脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)水平和受体表达以及神经元凋亡。妊娠大鼠在妊娠第18天(G18)分别给予右美托咪定、2.5%七氟醚治疗6小时,或2.5%七氟醚与右美托咪定联合治疗6小时。在出生后第1天(P1)和第41天测定子代海马细胞凋亡基因和蛋白表达、BDNF和受体表达以及神经元凋亡。观察P41小鼠树突棘密度、突触体素蛋白荧光染色及认知功能。母体七氟醚暴露使新生大鼠海马Bax mRNA和蛋白表达升高,Bcl-2 mRNA和蛋白表达降低,神经元凋亡增强,成熟BDNF (mBDNF)与proBDNF之比降低,mBDNF和原肌球蛋白受体激酶B (TrkB)蛋白表达降低,p75神经营养因子受体(p75NTR)蛋白表达升高。在幼年大鼠中,母体七氟醚暴露降低了mBDNF和TrkB蛋白表达、树突棘密度、在目标象限停留的时间比例和穿越平台的次数,同时增加了莫里斯水迷宫中的逃避潜伏期。右美托咪定可减轻母体七氟醚暴露引起的所有异常,除P41的mBDNF水平外。右美托咪定通过改善后代海马Bcl-2和Bax mRNA和蛋白表达,以及proBDNF-p75NTR和mBDNF-TrkB蛋白表达,减轻妊娠后期七氟醚诱导的神经元发育异常和认知障碍。
