Abstract Background Exposure to general anesthesia influences neuronal functions during brain development. Recently, interneurons were found to be involved in developmental neurotoxicity by anesthetic exposure. But the underlying mechanism and long-term consequences remain elusive. Methods Pregnant mice received 2.5% sevoflurane for 6-h on gestational day 14.5. Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure, anxiety- and depression-like behavior tests were performed in 30- and 60-day-old male offspring. Cortical interneurons were labeled using Rosa26-EYFP/-; Nkx2.1-Cre mice. Immunofluorescence and electrophysiology were performed to determine the cortical interneuron properties. Q-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed for the potential mechanism, and the finding was further validated by in utero electroporation (IUE). Results In this study, we found that maternal sevoflurane exposure increased epilepsy susceptibility by using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced-kindling models and enhanced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adolescent offspring. After sevoflurane exposure, the highly ordered cortical interneuron migration was disrupted in the fetal cortex. In addition, the resting membrane potentials of fast-spiking interneurons in the sevoflurane-treated group were more hyperpolarized in adolescence accompanied by an increase in inhibitory synapses. Both q-PCR and ISH indicated that CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling pathway downregulation might be a potential mechanism under sevoflurane developmental neurotoxicity which was further confirmed by IUE and behavioral tests. Although the above effects were obvious in adolescence, they did not persist into adulthood. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that maternal anesthesia impairs interneuron migration through the CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling pathway, and influences the interneuron properties, leading to the increased epilepsy susceptibility in adolescent offspring. Our study provides a novel perspective on the developmental neurotoxicity of the mechanistic link between maternal use of general anesthesia and increased susceptibility to epilepsy. |
