Overexpression of Foxc1 ameliorates sepsis‑associated encephalopathy by inhibiting microglial migration and neuroinflammation through the IκBα/NF‑κB pathway.

ABSTRACT: Sepsis‑associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common and severe complication of sepsis. The cognitive dysfunction that ensues during SAE has been reported to be caused by impairments of the hippocampus. Microglia serves a key role in neuroinflammation during SAE through migration. Forkhead box C1 (Foxc1) is a member of the forkhead transcription factor family that has been found to regulate in cell migration. However, the role of Foxc1 in neuroinflammation during SAE remains unknown. In the present study, the mechanistic role of Foxc1 on microglial migration, neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis during the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in SAE was investigated. A microglia‑mediated inflammation model was induced by LPS in BV‑2 microglial cells in vitro, whilst a SAE‑related c
