Isoflurane exposure causes improvement in long-term neurocognitive function in young adult rats, this is associated with an increase in dentate gyrus progenitor proliferation 4 days after anesthesia. However, the number of new neurons, that were born from cells that incorporated bromodeoxyuridine 4 days after anesthesia is not affected by anesthesia. We tested the hypothesis that progenitor proliferation continues to increase past 4 days, which would imply the possibility that the number of new neurons after anesthesia could be increased if bromodeoxyuridine labeling occurred at a later time point. Bromodeoxyuridine was injected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 9, 16 days after 4 hours of isoflurane exposure to 60-day old rats. Brains were harvested 2 hours later, immunohistochemically stained, and the number of bromodeoxyuridine-positive cells in the dentate gyrus was assessed microscopically. After 4 hours of exposure to isoflurane in 60-day old rats, the number of bromodeoxyuridine-positive cells decreased on days 0–2, then increased on day 4 significantly, and regressed toward the control level on day 9 and 16. Anesthesia-induced progenitor proliferation in the dentate gyrus was not sustained 9 days after anesthesia. We interpret these results to signify that an anesthetic effect on neurogenesis likely does not play a critical role in the previously observed isoflurane-induced long-term improvement in neurocognitive function in 60-day old rats and that the transient increase in progenitor proliferation serves to replenish the pool of neural stem cells. The mechanism of anesthesia-induced improvement in cognition of young adult rats remains elusive.
