Abstract

cAMP response‑element binding protein (CREB) functions in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory formation. However, it remains unknown whether intravenous anesthetics modulate CREB. The present study aimed to examine the effects of intravenous anesthetics on CREB phosphorylation in the mouse hippocampus. CREB phosphorylation was examined in hippocampal slices with and without pharmacological or intravenous anesthetics via immunoblotting. In a dose‑response experiment, the concentrations of intravenous anesthetics ranged from 10‑9 to 10‑4 mol/l for 1 h. For the time‑response experiment, these slices were incubated with 5x10‑6 mol/l of propofol for 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 30 and 60 min. In order to examine whether CREB phosphorylation could be recovered following washing out the propofol, the slices were incubated in plain artificial cerebrospinal fluid at different time durations following 5 min incubation with propofol. Propofol, etomidate, ketamine and midazolam inhibited CREB phosphorylation (P<0.05) in a time‑ and dose‑dependent manner. This inhibition was reversible following the removal of propofol, and was rescued by CREB phosphorylation (P<0.05). The decrease in CREB phosphorylation revealed additive effects with ...Continue Reading
