Background: Mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a condition that predisposes to negative outcomes such as neuroanatomical injury, mood disorders, and motor or cognitive disabilities. The neuroinflammation plays an important role in the neurological damage; therefore, reducing it could provide neuroprotection. The leuprolide acetate (LA) has shown to have neuroregenerative and immunomodulator properties in other nervous system injuries. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of LA in the acute phase of mild HIE and its effects in motor activity and behavior in a subacute phase. Method: Forty-five Wistar rats on postnatal day 7 were divided into Sham, HIE treated with saline solution (HIE-SS), and HIE-LA. The HIE was performed cutting of the right carotid artery followed by 60 min of hypoxia. The expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, and the chemokine CXCL-1 were evaluated 72 h after HIE by RT-qPCR and the motor activity and behavior were evaluated by open field test at postnatal day 33. Results: HIE-SS animals showed increased expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CXCL-1 genes in injured tissue. However, the HIE-LA group exhibited similar expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α to the Sham group, while IFN-γ and CXCL-1 mRNA expression were attenuated with LA treatment. LA treatment also prevented anxiety-like behavior in the open field test. Conclusion: Treatment with LA partially reverses HIE-induced neuroinflammation and prevents anxiety-like behavior in neonatal rats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
