Abstract:Background: Sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) results in cerebral ischemic tolerance; however, the mechanism remains unclear. In current study, we aimed to assess the M1/M2 shift in the brain induced by SPC and whether glycogen synthesis kinase-3β (GSK-3β)-regulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) activation was involved in the M2 polarization mediated by SPC. Methods: Mouse primary microglia with SPC were challenged by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and mice wit… Show more
