lipopolysaccharide causes cognitive
impairment in mice

Introduction
• Neuroinflammation plays a major role in neurodegenerative diseases.
i.e AD, PD, MS.
• Microglia is a key factor in neuroinflammation occurrence, and
development.
• Dependent on the duration, and severity, neuroinflammation can be
protective or harmful.
• Prolonged activation of microglia leads to neuronal death, increases the
release of proinflammatory cytokines, and TNF.
• These proinflammatory cytokines were found to be hallmark for many
neurodegenerative diseases.
• LPS, as microglia TLR-4 activator, leads to the release of the pro-
inflammatory cytokines that mimic the chronic activation of microglia.

Pole test
• Assesses the motor
coordination.
• evaluates the ability
of a mouse to grasp
and maneuver on a
pole in order to
descend to its home
cage.
• The time taken by mice to
descend the pole is
recorded and scored.

Neuroinfammation induced by lipopolysaccharide causes cognitive impairment in mice

Editor's Notes

  1. Incidentally, the TLR-4-specifc viral inhibitory peptide VIPER has been shown to potentially inhibit TLR-4-mediated responses induced by LPS21. Furthermore, the administration of LPS to animals induces cognitive impairment22,23 and a complex array of behaviors, including anorexia, decreased locomotion, weight loss, exploratory behavior, increased anxiety, somnolence, and general behavioral depression. Several of these symptoms are thought to be very similar to the clinically relevant symptoms of neurodegenerative disease in humans. What they do. Here, we induced neuroinfammation via intraperitoneal (i.p.) or intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of LPS and investigated the possible mechanisms of LPS-induced cognitive impairment by assessing the interaction between Aβ and neuroinfammation23–25.
  2. During the training trials, the mice were placed into the water in a random quadrant and allowed to locate the hidden platform for 60 s. Ten, the mice were allowed to remain on the platform or were placed on the platform for 10 s at the end of each trial. Te mice were trained with three trials per day for 7 days. Afer the training, on the fnal day of testing, we administered LPS or saline 6 h before conducting the spatial probe test. Te escape latency and escape distance displayed by each mouse were recorded by a comp
  3. ll mice were submitted to the “Pole test” to measure their motor coordination. Briefy, the mice were subjected to fve days of training on a pole that was 60 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter with two layers of gauze on the outside. On the sixth day, LPS (i.p. 500 μg/kg or 750 μg/kg) was injected 6 h before the climbing pole test, and the following three times were recorded: the time it took for the mouse to climb down the upper half, the time it took for the mouse to climb down the lower half, and the time it took for the mouse to complete the total length of the pole. If the mouse completed the above three steps within 3 s, 6 s or longer than 6 s, the motor coordination score was 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point, respectively.
  4. LPS-induced memory defects in the MWM test and passive avoidance performance test. (A) Mice showed impaired learning and memory function afer injections of LPS during the place-navigation test. (B) Mice showed an efect of LPS on memory function during the spatial probe test. C: Latency in the passive avoidance test.
