  BACKGROUND: Preclinical research on the neuroprotective effect of hypothermia (HT) after perinatal asphyxia has shown variable results, depending on comorbidities and insult severity. Exposure to inflammation increases vulnerability of the neonatal brain to hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) injury, and could be one explanation for those neonates whose injury is unexpectedly severe. Gram-negative type inflammatory exposure by lipopolysaccharide administration prior to a mild HI insult results in moderate brain injury, and hypothermic neuroprotection is negated. However, the neuroprotective effect of HT is fully maintained after gram-positive type inflammatory exposure by PAM3CSK4 (PAM) pre-administration in the same HI model. Whether HT is neuroprotective in severe brain injury with gram-positive inflammatory pre-exposure has not been investigated. METHODS: 59 seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to a unilateral HI insult, with left carotid artery ligation followed by 90-min hypoxia (8% O2 at Trectal 36°C). An additional 196 pups received intraperitoneal 0.9% saline (control) or PAM1 mg/kg, 8 h before undergoing the same HI insult. After randomisation to 5 h normothermia (NT37°C) or HT32°C, pups survived 1 week before they were sacrificed by perfusion fixation. Brains were harvested for hemispheric and hippocampal area loss analyses at postnatal day 14, as well as immunostaining for neuron count in the HIP CA1 region. RESULTS: Normothermic PAM animals (PAM-NT) had a comparable median area loss (hemispheric: 60% [95% CI 33-66]; hippocampal: 61% [95% CI 29-67]) to vehicle animals (Veh-NT) (hemispheric: 58% [95% CI 11-64]; hippocampal: 60% [95% CI 19-68]), which is defined as severe brain injury. Furthermore, mortality was low and similar in the two groups (Veh-NT 4.5% vs. PAM-NT 6.6%). HT reduced hemispheric and hippocampal injury in the Veh group by 13 and 28%, respectively (hemispheric: p = 0.048; hippocampal: p = 0.042). HT also provided neuroprotection in the PAM group, reducing hemispheric injury by 22% (p = 0.03) and hippocampal injury by 37% (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION: In these experiments with severe brain injury, Toll-like receptor-2 triggering prior to HI injury does not have an additive injurious effect, and there is a small but significant neuroprotective effect of HT. HT appears to be neuroprotective over a continuum of injury severity in this model, and the effect size tapers off with increasing area loss. Our results indicate that gram-positive inflammatory exposure prior to HI injury does not negate the neuroprotective effect of HT in severe brain injury.

  The goal is to reduce long-term effects of hypoxic ischaemic brain injury. Moderate to severe perinatal asphyxia in term and near term infants is one of the most important causes of neonatal death and adverse motor and cognitive outcome, with an incidence of 2-20 per 1000 live born infants, depending in which part of the world they are born. (1) Until recently, therapy was limited to stabilisation of the newborn infant and treatment of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) induced seizures. Reduction of the body temperature to 33.5°C is the only established therapy which has shown a decrease in adverse outcomes after perinatal asphyxia (death or substantial disability at 18 months of age) from about 66% for non-cooled infants to 50% in cooled infants. (2,3) Intensive research is ongoing to explore (pharmacological) neuroprotective interventions which could be used in addition to hypothermia to improve outcome. (4–7)
