Objective: To determine the impact of the duration of fetal exposure to inflammation on the neurological outcome of pups. Method: Time-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (n=32) received intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 500µg/kg), or an equivalent volume of vehicle 3h, 6h, 12h and 24h before C-section. Maternal serum and amniotic fluid were tested for cytokines. Motor activity of resuscitated pups (n=58) was analyzed using the open field test (20 days). Brains were collected for histopathological examination. Results: Perinatal mortality increased with the duration of fetal exposure to LPS. All parameters tested with the open field test were lower in the LPS 12h exposure group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) was statistically increased in maternal blood 3h, 6 h and 12 h after LPS injection (p < 0.05 vs. control). Conclusion: A threshold of duration of exposure to inflammation is demonstrated, before which delivery should be performed in order to prevent brain damage. |
