BDNF-TrkB/proBDNF-p75^NTR pathway regulation by lipid emulsion rescues bupivacaine-induced central neurotoxicity in rats.

ABSTRACT: Bupivacaine (BPV) can cause severe central nervous system toxicity when absorbed into the blood circulation system. Rapid intravenous administration of lipid emulsion (LE) could be used to treat local anaesthetic toxicity. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which the BDNF-TrkB/proBDNF-p75^NTR pathway regulation by LE rescues BPV induced neurotoxicity in hippocampal neurons in rats. Seven- to nine-day-old primary cultured hippocampal neurons were randomly divided into 6 groups: the blank control group (Ctrl), the bupivacaine group (BPV), the lipid emulsion group (LE), the bupivacaine + lipid emulsion group (BPV + LE), the bupivacaine + lipid emulsion + tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) inhibitor group (BPV + LE + K252a), the bupivacaine + lipid emulsion + p75 neurotr
