Abstract Objective This study aims to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on the survival rate and brain injury using a mice model of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Methods Male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: Sham, CLP, CLP+DEX and CLP+DEX+Y groups. Mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham operation. DEX (10 μg/kg) was injected 4 times (0, 2, 4, 6 h) after CLP operation in group CLP+DEX and group CLP+DEX+Y. Yohimbine (3 mg/kg) was given to group CLP+DEX+Y 30 min before operation. Brain water content, activities of SOD and levels of MDA in hippocampus were detected. HE staining, Nissl staining and TUNEL assay were used to observe the histopathologic changes and neuronal apoptosis. Results DEX treatment markedly alleviated pathological damage and brain edema caused by CLP operation. Levels of oxidative products decreased and the activities of antioxidant enzymes increased in brain. Yohimbine can counteract the effect of DEX. Conclusion DEX targets on adrenergic α2 receptors to show the brain protective effect, which is linked to the decreased levels of oxidative products and the increased activities of antioxidant enzymes in brain. DEX may be a promising therapeutic strategy to relieve SAE.
