An estimated 200 million patients worldwide have surgery each year. Anesthesia and surgery have been reported to facilitate emergence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The commonly used inhalation anesthetic isoflurane has previously been reported to induce apoptosis and to increase levels and aggregation of AD-associated amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in cultured cells. However, the in vivo relevance has not been addressed. We therefore set out to determine effects of isoflurane on caspase activation, levels of BACE and Aβ in naïve mice, employing Western blot, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Here we show for the first time that a clinically relevant isoflurane anesthesia (1.4% isoflurane for two hours) leads to caspase activation and modest increases in levels of the β-site APP-cleaving enzyme (BACE) six hours after anesthesia in mouse brain. Isoflurane anesthesia induces caspase activation, increases levels of BACE and Aβ up to 24 hours after anesthesia. Isoflurane may increase BACE levels by reducing BACE degradation. Moreover, the Aβ aggregation inhibitor, clioquinol, was able to attenuate isoflurane-induced caspase-3 activation in vivo. Given that transient insults to brain may lead to long term brain damage, these findings suggest that isoflurane may promote AD neuropathogenesis and, as such, have implications for use of isoflurane in humans, pending on human study confirmation.
