The Effect of Sevoflurane Anesthesia on the Biomarkers of Neural Injury in the Prefrontal Cortex of Aged Marmosets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgery under general anesthesia leads to neural injury, especially in older patients. Sevoflurane anesthesia without surgery for 2 h does not induce neural injury, however, whether prolonger sevoflurane anesthesia without surgery has the same consequence is still unknown.

Methods

In the present study, aged marmosets were exposed to a clinical concentration of sevoflurane (1.5-2%) for 6 h to access the effects of prolonged sevoflurane anesthesia on the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Caspase3 activity and myelin formation in the brain.

Results

Sevoflurane anesthesia did not alter the expression of IL-6 (120.1 ± 2.21 vs. 120.8 ± 2.25, p = 0.74), TNF-α (189.3 ± 31.35 vs. 218.7 ± 21.47, p = 0.25) and Caspase3 (57.35 ± 1.54 vs. 58.67 ± 1.19, p = 0.53) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of aged marmosets. The amount of MBP expression (60.99 ± 6.21 vs. 58.91 ± 2.71, p = 0.77) did not change following sevoflurane exposure.

Conclusion

Sevoflurane anesthesia did not increase the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, activated the the expression of Caspase3, and induced myelination deficits in the PFC of aged marmosets.

Project description:BackgroundCholinergic stimulation of prefrontal cortex (PFC) can reverse anesthesia. Conversely, inactivation of PFC can delay emergence from anesthesia. PFC receives cholinergic projections from basal forebrain, which contains wake-promoting neurons. However, the role of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in arousal from the anesthetized state requires refinement, and it is currently unknown whether the arousal-promoting effect of basal forebrain is mediated through PFC. To address these gaps in knowledge, we implemented a novel approach to the use of chemogenetic stimulation and tested the role of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in behavioral arousal during sevoflurane anesthesia. Next, we investigated the effect of tetrodotoxin-mediated inactivation of PFC on behavioral arousal produced by electrical stimulation of basal forebrain during sevoflurane anesthesia.MethodsAdult male and female transgenic rats (Long-Evans-Tg [ChAT-Cre]5.1 Deis; n = 22) were surgically prepared for expression of excitatory hM3D(Gq) receptors or mCherry in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons, and activation of these neurons by local delivery of compound 21, an agonist for hM3D(Gq) receptors. The transgenic rats were fitted with microdialysis probes for agonist delivery into basal forebrain and simultaneous prefrontal acetylcholine measurement. Adult male and female Sprague Dawley rats were surgically prepared for bilateral electrical stimulation of basal forebrain and tetrodotoxin infusion (156 μM and 500 nL) into PFC (n = 9) or bilateral electrical stimulation of piriform cortex (n = 9) as an anatomical control. All rats were implanted with electrodes to monitor the electroencephalogram. Heart and respiration rates were monitored using noninvasive sensors. A 6-point scale was used to score behavioral arousal (0 = no arousal and 5 = return of righting reflex).ResultsCompound 21 delivery into basal forebrain of rats with hM3D(Gq) receptors during sevoflurane anesthesia produced increases in arousal score (P < .001; confidence interval [CI], 1.80-4.35), heart rate (P < .001; CI, 36.19-85.32), respiration rate (P < .001; CI, 22.81-58.78), theta/delta ratio (P = .008; CI, 0.028-0.16), and prefrontal acetylcholine (P < .001; CI, 1.73-7.46). Electrical stimulation of basal forebrain also produced increases in arousal score (P < .001; CI, 1.85-4.08), heart rate (P = .018; CI, 9.38-98.04), respiration rate (P < .001; CI, 24.15-53.82), and theta/delta ratio (P = .020; CI, 0.019-0.22), which were attenuated by tetrodotoxin-mediated inactivation of PFC.ConclusionsThis study validates the role of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in behavioral arousal and demonstrates that the arousal-promoting effects of basal forebrain are mediated in part through PFC.
