AimsTo investigate the effects of malignant fibrous histiocytoma amplified sequence 1 (MFHAS1) on cognitive dysfunction, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and amyloid β peptide (Aβ) in the hippocampus, as well as dendritic pathology in the hippocampal CA1 region in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) rats.Main methodsThe rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1) control group (subjected to sham surgery), 2) control plusMfhas1siRNA group (rats received intracerebroventricular injection ofMfhas1siRNA after sham surgery), 3) CLP plus control siRNA group (rats received intracerebroventricular injection of control siRNA after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)), 4) CLP plusMfhas1siRNA group (rats received intracerebroventricular injection ofMfhas1siRNA after CLP). The learning and memory capabilities of the rats were examined by means of fear conditioning and Barnes maze test. The concentration of TNF-α and IL-1β was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The efficiency of siRNA transfection, MFHAS1 and Aβ expression were detected by Western blotting. Total branch lengths of pyramidal dendrites of the CA1 basilar trees and spine density were determined by Golgi staining.Key findingsWe observed that MFHAS1 knock-down byMfhas1siRNA intracerebroventricular injection could improve cognitive impairment, reduce the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and Aβ in the hippocampus induced by CLP, and alleviate the dendritic spinal loss of the pyramidal neurons, as well as increase the dendritic branching of the CA1 basilar trees of septic rats.SignificanceMFHAS1 knock-down can alleviate cognitive impairment, neuroinflammation and dendritic spinal loss in SAE rats.
