BACKGROUND: Inflammation during brain development participates in the
pathogenesis of early brain injury and cognitive dysfunctions. Prenatal ethanol
exposure affects the developing brain and causes neural impairment, cognitive and
behavioral effects, collectively known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
(FASD). Our previous studies demonstrate that ethanol activates the innate immune
response and TLR4 receptor and causes neuroinflammation, brain damage, and
cognitive defects in the developmental brain stage of adolescents. We hypothesize
that by activating the TLR4 response, maternal alcohol consumption during
pregnancy triggers the release of cytokines and chemokines in both the maternal
sera and brains of fetuses/offspring, which impairs brain ontogeny and causes
cognitive dysfunction. METHODS: WT and TLR4-KO female mice treated with or
without 10% ethanol in the drinking water during gestation and lactation were
used. Cytokine/chemokine levels were determined by ELISA in the amniotic fluid,
maternal serum, and cerebral cortex, as well as in the offspring cerebral cortex.
Microglial and neuronal markers (evaluated by western blotting), myelin proteins
(immunohistochemical and western blotting) and synaptic parameters (western
blotting and electron microscopy) were assessed in the cortices of the WT and
TLR4-KO pups on PND 0, 20, and 66. Behavioral tests (elevated plus maze and
passive avoidance) were performed in the WT and TLR4-KO mice on PND 66 exposed or
not to ethanol. RESULTS: We show that alcohol intake during gestation and
lactation increases the levels of several cytokines/chemokines (IL-1?, IL-17,
MIP-1?, and fractalkine) in the maternal sera, amniotic fluid, and brains of
fetuses and offspring. The upregulation of cytokines/chemokines is associated
with an increase in activated microglia markers (CD11b and MHC-II), and with a
reduction in some synaptic (synaptotagmin, synapsin IIa) and myelin (MBP, PLP)
proteins in the brains of offspring on days 0, 20, and 66 (long-term effects).
These changes are associated with long-term behavioral impairments, in the
66-day-old alcohol-exposed pups. TLR4-deficient mice are protected against
ethanol-induced cytokine/chemokine production in alcohol-treated dams and
offspring, along with synaptic and myelin alterations, and the log-term
behavioral dysfunction induced by ethanol in offspring. CONCLUSIONS: These
results suggest that the immune system activation, through the TLR4 response,
might play an important role in the neurodevelopmental defects in FASD.
