Abstract
Patients receiving anesthesia and surgery may experience cognitive dysfunction, memory deficits, and mental disturbances, which are referred to as perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). The function of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is disrupted during early phase of PND. To gain insight into the mechanisms of PND, we collected mouse mPFC tissues 6 h post-surgery and performed RNA sequencing analysis. In total, 178 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 105 upregulated and 73 downregulated genes. Bioinformatic analysis highlighted the significant enrichment of these DEGs in several immune-related biological processes and signaling pathways, suggesting that pronounced neuroinflammatory transcriptional programming in the mPFC was evoked during early phase of PND. Interleukin-6 level increased in both serum and mPFC, while the mRNA levels of Il-6, Tnf-α, and Il-1β remained unchanged. Taken together, our findings suggest that a distinct and acute neuroinflammatory response in the mPFC is evoked after peripheral surgery, which might play a key role in the development of PND.
期刊介绍:
PeerJ is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in the biological and medical sciences. At PeerJ, authors take out a lifetime publication plan (for as little as $99) which allows them to publish articles in the journal for free, forever. PeerJ has 5 Nobel Prize Winners on the Board; they have won several industry and media awards; and they are widely recognized as being one of the most interesting recent developments in academic publishing.
