AimsSepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is one of the most common complications of sepsis, and it might lead to long-term cognitive dysfunction and disability. This study aimed to explore the role of S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B)/RAGE/ceramide signaling pathway in SAE.Main methodsFPS-ZM1 (an inhibitor of RAGE), myriocin and GW4869 (an inhibitor of ceramide) were used to explore the role of S100B/RAGE/ceramide in acute brain injury and long-term cognitive impairment in sepsis. In addition, Mdivi-1 (inhibitor of Drp1) and Drp1 siRNA were utilized to assess the effects of C2-ceramide on neuronal mitochondria, and to explore the specific underlying mechanism in C2 ceramide-induced death of HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells.Key findingsWestern blot analysis showed that sepsis significantly up-regulated S100B and RAGE. Nissl staining and Morris water maze (MWM) test revealed that inhibition of RAGE with FPS-ZM1 markedly attenuated cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced brain damage and cognitive dysfunction. Furthermore, FPS-ZM1 relieved sepsis-induced C2-ceramide accumulation and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics. Moreover, inhibition of ceramide also showed similar protective effects bothin vivoandin vitro. Furthermore, Mdivi-1 and Drp1 siRNA significantly reduced C2-ceramide-induced neuronal mitochondrial fragmentation and cell apoptosisin vitro.SignificanceThis study confirmed that S100B regulates mitochondrial dynamics through RAGE/ceramide pathway, in addition to the role of this pathway in acute brain injury and long-term cognitive impairment during sepsis.
