ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the molecular mechanism of sevoflurane affecting the development of the offspring's nervous system through the GABAAR/Sirt 1 pathway.Methods:
Pregnant rats were obtained by mating females and males, and were randomly divided into 3 h sevoflurane (2.3% sevoflurane anesthesia for 3 h), 6 h sevoflurane (2.3% sevoflurane anesthesia for 6 h), Sirt-1 activator-SRT1720 (10 mg/kg SRT1720), 6 h sevoflurane+SRT1720 (10 mg/kg SRT1720) and control groups) group and control group, 31-day-old littermates were taken out and their learning and memory functions were examined by the water maze experiment; the heads were severed to remove the brains, and the kits were used to detect the levels of 5-HT and Ach in the brain tissue; the hippocampal tissues of the littermates were isolated, and neuronal damage in the hippocampal tissues was assessed by Nissen staining; neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampal tissues was detected by TUNEL staining; and GABAAR in the hippocampal tissues was detected by Western blot. GABAAR, Sirt-1, and apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase-3, BCL-2, BAX) in hippocampal tissue.Results:
Compared with the control group, the 3 h sevoflurane group and the 6 h sevoflurane group neurons were arranged sparsely, the cells appeared to be swollen, the evasion latency, the apoptosis rate of neurons, the expression of Caspase-3, and BAX increased significantly, and the number of crossing the plateau, the level of 5-HT and Ach in the brain tissues, and the expression of GABAAR, Sirt-1, and BCL-2 were decreased significantly, and the differences existed between the groups (P < .5); compared with the 6 h sevoflurane group, neuronal morphological changes in the hippocampal tissue of the 6 h sevoflurane+SRT1720 group were improved, with a significant decrease in the evasion latency, neuronal apoptosis rate, expression of Caspase-3 and BAX, and a significant increase in the number of traversing platforms, brain tissue 5-HT, Ach level, GABAAR, Sirt-1, and BCL-2 expression (P < .5); compared with the SRT1720 group, the neurons in the 6 h sevoflurane + SRT1720 group were sparsely arranged, with a significant increase in evasion latency, neuronal apoptosis rate, caspase-3, BAX expression, and a significant decrease in the number of traversing platforms, brain tissue 5-HT, Ach level, GABAAR, Sirt-1, and BCL-2 expression (P < .5 ).Conclusion:
Sevoflurane can affect the neurological development of rat offspring, which may be related to the inhibition of Sirt-1 expression.
