https://www.selleckchem.com/products/arv-771.html Isoflurane is a broadly used inhalation anesthetic that causes cognitive impairment in rodent models as well as humans. Although previous studies suggested an association between isoflurane exposure and neuro-inflammation, apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction, the pathogenesis of isoflurane-induced cognitive decline remains elusive. In the present study, 22-month-old male Sprague-Dawley male rats (n=96) were divided into three groups Control (Cont), isoflurane (ISO) and MS-275 pre-treated groups. The rats were sacrificed following exposure to isoflurane and a cognitive test. The hippocampus of each animal was harvested for quantitative PCR, TUNEL staining and western blot analysis. #link# Histone deacetylases (HDAC)-1, -2 and -3 exhibited a significant increase at the gene and protein expression levels, whereas negligible mRNA expressions were observed for genes HDAC 4-11 (P>0.05; compared with Cont). Pre-treatment with the HDAC inhibitor MS-275 significantly inhibited the increase in TUNEL-positive cells induced by isoflurane exposure (70.72% decrease; P less then 0.001; compared with ISO). Furthermore, MS-275 significantly decreased caspase-3 and Bax expression levels while increasing Bcl-2 protein expression. The isoflurane-induced changes in the MAPK pathway signaling proteins ERK1/2, JNK and p38 were also reversed with MS-275 pre-treatment. Finally, in a Morris water maze test, the time to find a hidden platform was reduced in MS-275 pre-treated rats, compared with the ISO group. Therefore, the present study provided insight into the effect of isoflurane exposure on neuronal apoptosis pathways, as well as cognitive decline via epigenetic programming of MAPK signaling in aged rats.Sepsis accounts for more than 50% of all acute kidney injury (AKI) cases, and the combination of sepsis and AKI increases the risk of mortality from sepsis alone. However, to the best of our knowledge, the specific mechanism by which
