Abstract

To examine the possible role of inflammatory cytokines in mediating perinatal brain injury, we investigated effects of intracerebral injection of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on brain injury in the neonatal rat and the mechanisms involved. Intracerebral administration of IL-1beta (1 microg/kg) resulted in acute brain injury, as indicated by enlargement of ventricles bilaterally, apoptotic death of oligodendrocytes (OLs) and loss of OL immunoreactivity in the neonatal rat brain. IL-1beta also induced axonal and neuronal injury in the cerebral cortex as indicated by elevated expression of beta-amyloid precursor protein, short beaded axons and dendrites, and loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental areas. Administration of alpha-phenyl-n-tert-butyl-nitrone (PBN, 100 mg/kg i.p.) immediately after the IL-1beta injection protected the brain from IL-1beta-induced injury. Protection of PBN was linked with the attenuated oxidative stress induced by IL-1beta, as indicated by decreased elevation of 8-isoprostane content and by the reduced number of 4-hydroxynonenal or malondialdehyde or nitrotyrosine-positive cells following IL-1beta exposure. PBN also attenuated IL-1beta-stimulated inflammatory responses as indicated by the reduced activation of microglia. The finding that IL-1beta induced perinatal brain injury was very similar to that induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as we previously reported and that PBN was capable to attenuate the injury induced by either LPS or IL-1beta suggests that IL-1beta may play a critical role in mediating brain injury associated with perinatal infection/inflammation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
