Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cognitive impairment. CKD is associated with increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), resulting in increased cognitive impairment in animals and in humans. The aim of this study is to describe the inflammatory profile in blood and cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) during a CKD model induced by adenine rich diet (ARD) in rats, in relation to BBB permeability and to explore the cognitive and mood impairment phenotypes. ARD rats displayed a 5-fold increase in BBB permeability, quantified with brain 99 mTc-DTPA SPECT/CT isotopic imaging, without alteration of brain perfusion. CKD is associated with increased PDGFRß levels in CSF (445 ± 85.6 vs. 303 ± 104.9 pg/mL, p = 0.03), suggesting pericyte dysfunction, but not with CSF levels of inflammatory cytokines, despite increased systemic inflammation. Neurobehavioural evaluation highlighted that ARD rats had impairment of short-term spatial memory, social memory and depressive features but not anxiety. In conclusion, CKD induces systemic inflammation and BBB permeability associated with pericyte dysfunction and alteration of memory and depressive features in rats. BBB disruption seems to be a crucial mechanism involved in cognitive and mood impairment during CKD.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
