ABSTRACT

Isoflurane (Iso) is a commonly used inhalational anesthetic and is associated with the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) was previously reported to have a promising neuroprotective function in cases of POCD, but the specific mechanisms have remained to be fully explored. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of CB2R deficiency on spatial cognitive performance in adult mice exposed to Iso. A total of 20 adult CB2R knockout (KO) and 20 wild-type (WT) mice were exposed to Iso (1.4% in oxygen for 4 h) or 100% oxygen. The Morris water maze (MWZ) test was performed 10 days after Iso exposure. Immunofluorescence staining and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR were performed to assess the expression of microglial marker ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba1) and the m RNA expression levels of microglial phenotype markers (M1: Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, inducible nitric oxide synthase; M2: Chitinase-3 like protein) in the hippocampus. Changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroplasticity were assessed by 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) immunostaining and Golgi staining. Compared with control mice, WT Iso-exposed mice had impaired spatial performance in the MWZ test. Furthermore, hippocampal Iba1 immunoreactivity and the number of microglial branches were notably increased in Iso-exposed WT mice. This was paralleled by significant upregulation of M1-associated markers and downregulation of M2-associated markers in the hippocampus. An obviously reduced number of BrdU+ neurons and decreased spine density were observed in WT Iso-exposed mice compared with control mice. Of note, CB2R deficiency exacerbated the spatial cognition impairment induced by Iso in the MWZ test. The alterations in the activation, morphology and M1 polariza tion of microglia, the number of BrdU+ neurons and spine density were more pronounced in CB2R-deficient Iso-exposed KO mice than in WT Iso-exposed mice. These results suggested that CB2R has a crucial role in Iso-induced cognitive impairment, which may be related to changes in hippocampal neuroinflammation, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.
