VRT-043198 Ameliorates Surgery-Induced Neurocognitive Disorders by Restoring the NGF and BNDF Expression in Aged Mice
BACKGROUND: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are common surgical complications in the elderly. Pyroptosis-associated inflammation has been suggested to participate in a series of neurocognitive diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Given that VRT-043198 can reportedly inhibit caspase-...

description | BACKGROUND: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are common surgical complications in the elderly. Pyroptosis-associated inflammation has been suggested to participate in a series of neurocognitive diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Given that VRT-043198 can reportedly inhibit caspase-1-induced pyroptosis, this study sought to determine whether VRT-043198 reduced PND in a mouse model following abdominal exploratory laparotomy. METHODS: 20-month-old male C57/BL mice were used to establish an abdominal exploratory laparotomy (AEL) model of PND. VRT-043198 (1, 10 and 100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally immediately after surgery. Thirty days post-surgery, the mice were evaluated in the Morris water maze test. Their number of neurons, neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) levels and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were measured. In the hippocampus, A1-type astrocytes and M1-type microglia were assessed using an immunofluorescence assay and Western blot, respectively. Caspase-1 activity, IL-1β, IL-18, and PPAR-γ were also measured 24h after surgery. RESULTS: VRT-043198 administration increased the time to cross the platform and increased the ratio of distance and time in the targeted quadrant after surgery. Furthermore, it was found that VRT-043198 restored neuronal amount, increased NGF and BDNF and decreased the number of A1-type astrocytes and M1-type microglia. VRT-043198 also attenuated caspase-1 activity, downregulated IL-1β and IL-18, but increased PPAR-γ 24h post-surgery. CONCLUSION: VRT-043198 improved PND in aged mice after abdominal exploratory laparotomy by restoring the NGF and BNDF expression. These results indicate that VRT-043198 may be a potential therapy for PND. |
