ABSTRACT
Sevoflurane is one of the most widely used anesthetics in surgery which is the main cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Previous reports confirmed that YTHDF1 is differently expressed in sevoflurane-induced POCD, while the roles and mechanistic details remain unclear. The molecular expressions were assessed using qRT-PCR, western blot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Pathological change in the hippocampus tissues was analyzed using HE staining. Cognitive ability in rats was measured using MWM test. Hippocampal neuronal viability and apoptosis were measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were assessed using ELISA. The interaction between YTHDF1 and CREB was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation assay. YTHDF1 was significantly decreased in hippocampus tissues by sevoflurane exposure, and its overexpression could improve sevoflurane-induced neuron damage and cognitive dysfunction. Meanwhile, YTHDF1 upregulation repressed sevoflurane-induced activation of NLRP3 inflammation and pyroptosis in hippocampus tissues. Subsequently, YTHDF1 directly interacted to CREB mRNA to augment its stability and translation via a m6A-dependent manner, thus activating CREB/BDNF pathway. In addition, the inactivation of CREB/BDNF pathway could reverse the protective effects of YTHDF1 overexpression on sevoflurane-mediated neuronal damage and pyroptosis. These findings revealed that YTHDF1 improved sevoflurane-induced neuronal pyroptosis and cognitive dysfunction through activating CREB-BDNF signaling.
