Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of inhibition of interleukin-6 (IL-6) trans-signaling on sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) in mice.Methods:Eighty healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 22-24 g, were divided into 4 groups using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group, n=10), SAE group ( n=35), SAE plus sgp130Fc group ( n=25) and sgp130Fc group ( n=10). Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in anesthetized animals.Sham and sgp130Fc groups received no CLP.In group sgp130Fc and group SAE+ sgp130Fc, sgp130Fc 0.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h after sham operation or CLP.The survival rates, body weight and neurological function scores were recorded within 1-10 days after sham operation or CLP.Four mice in each group were selected at 24 h after sham operation or CLP to detect the expression of occlusin in hippocampus by Western blot.Five mice in each group were selected to measure cognitive function using Morris water maze test at day 4 after sham operation or CLP. Results:Compared with group Sham, the survival mice, body weight and neurological function scores on days 2-10 after CLP were significantly decreased, the expression of occludin was down-regulated, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, and the time spent in target quadrant was shortened in group SAE ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group sgp130Fc ( P>0.05). Compared with group SAE, the survival rate and neurological function scores on days 3-10 after CLP were significantly increased, the expression of occludin was up-regulated, the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased, and the time spent in target quadrant was prolonged ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in body weight in group SAE+ sgp130Fc ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Inhibition of IL-6 trans-signaling can reduce the damage to the blood brain barrier and SAE in mice.
