Volatile anesthetics rapidly increase dendritic spine density in the rat medial prefrontal cortex during synaptogenesis

Abstract

Recent experimental observations suggest that, in addition to induce neuroapoptosis, anesthetics can also interfere with synaptogenesis during brain development. The aim of this study was to pursue this issue by evaluating the exposure time-dependent effects of volatile anesthetics on neuronal cytoarchitecture in 16-day-old rats, a developmental stage characterized by intense synaptogenesis in the cerebral cortex. Whistar rats underwent isoflurane (1.5%), sevoflurane (2.5%), or desflurane (7%) anesthesia for 30, 60, and 120 min at postnatal day 16, and the effect of these treatments on neuronal cytoarchitecture was evaluated 6 h after the initiation of anesthesia. Cell death was assessed using Fluoro-Jade B staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling assay. Ionotophoretic injections into layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex allowed visualization of dendritic arbor. Tracing of dendritic tree was carried out using the Neurolucida station (Microbrightfield, Williston, VT), whereas dendritic spines were analyzed using confocal microscopy. Up to a 2-h-long exposure, none of the volatile drugs induced neuronal cell death or significant changes in gross dendritic ...Continue Reading
