| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate the effects of IL-1beta on synaptic plasticity, we examined long-term potentiation (LTP) electrophysiologically in different hippocampal regions in acute mouse brain slices. Our results demonstrated that IL-1beta exerted variable effects on LTP at different kinds of synapses, indicating that IL-1beta had synapse-specific effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity.
Next, we investigated the effects of minocycline (MINO) on LTP in the hippocampus in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model. We have provided the evidence that MINO prevents impaired LTP related to sepsis-induced encephalopathy in the mouse hippocampus, and that mechanisms associated with IL-1 receptor activity may be involved.
