Previous research suggests a link between anesthetic exposure and Alzheimer’s disease exists. Since anesthetics are rarely given alone, we ask whether addition of surgery further modulates Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive dysfunction occurs after surgery in humans. Anesthesia alone produces cognitive decline in both older wild-type mice and rats, and the addition of surgery produces transient decline in young adult wild type mice. Because neuroinflammation has been implicated, and occurs early in Alzheimer’s disease, we hypothesize that the neuroinflammatory stress associated with surgery will accelerate the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Cecal ligation and excision was performed on pre-symptomatic 5–11 month-old triple-transgenic Alzheimer (3xTgAD) and C57BL/6 wild type mice under desflurane anesthesia. Surgery animals were compared to aged matched 3xTgAD and WT mice exposed to air or desflurane alone. Cognitive function was assessed via Morris water maze at 2 and 13 weeks post-operatively. Amyloid and tau pathology, as well as inflammation and synaptic markers were quantified with immunohistochemistry, Luminex, ELISA or western blot assays. A significant cognitive impairment in 3xTgAD mice that underwent surgery compared with air or desflurane controls, persisted to at least 14 weeks after surgery. Microglial activation, amyloidopathy and tauopathy were enhanced by surgery as compared to desflurane alone. No differences between surgery, anesthetic or air controls were detected in WT mice Surgery causes a durable increment in Alzheimer pathogenesis, primarily through a transient activation of neuroinflammation.
