Propofol is a widely used anesthetic in the clinic while several studies have demonstrated that propofol exposure may cause neurotoxicity in the developing brain. However, the effects of early propofol exposure on cerebellar development are not well understood. Propofol (30 or 60 mg/kg) was administered to mice on postnatal day (P)7; Purkinje cell dendritogenesis and Bergmann glial cell development were evaluated on P8, and granule neuron migration was analyzed on P10. The results indicated that exposure to propofol on P7 resulted in a significant reduction in calbindin-labeled Purkinje cells and their dendrite length. Furthermore, propofol induced impairments in Bergmann glia development, which might be involved in the delay of granule neuron migration from the external granular layer (EGL) to the internal granular layer (IGL) during P8 to P10 at the 60 mg/kg dosage, but not at the 30 mg/kg dosage. Several reports have suggested that the Notch signaling pathway plays instructive roles in the morphogenesis of Bergmann glia. Here, it was revealed that propofol treatment decreased Jagged1 and Notch1 protein levels in the cerebellum on P8. Taken together, exposure to propofol during the neonatal period impairs Bergmann glia development and may therefore lead to cerebellum development defects. Our results may aid in the understanding of the neurotoxic effects of propofol when administrated to infants. | |

INTRODUCTION | |
The cerebellum is characterized by laminated structures, and its abnormal morphogenesis may lead to deficits related to disorders such as Dandy-Walker Malformations, Joubert Syndrome and other congenital spinocerebellar ataxias (Millen and Gleeson, 2008). An increasing number of recent studies have suggested that anesthesia may be neurotoxic to the brain and lead to various long-term behavioral disorders, especially in the infants (Olney et al., 2002; Stargatt et al., 2006; Patel and Sun, 2009; DiMaggio et al., 2011; Reddy, 2012; Sinner et al., 2014). | |

function depends on well-organized neuronal connections and the integration of afferent and efferent fibers into the cerebellar circuitry. The mouse cerebellar cortex has a well-defined architecture consisting of the following three major layers: (1) the molecular layer (ML); (2) the Purkinje cell layer (PCL); and (3) the granule layer (Voogd and Glickstein, 1998). To establish proper lamination and circuitry, important events such as neuronal differentiation, morphogenesis, and migration need to be precisely regulated during cerebellar development (Altman and Winfree, 1977; Buffo and Rossi, 2013). Mouse cerebellar development continues until 3 weeks after birth. During this postnatal period, cerebellar cells undergo sequential development steps in spatially well-defined regions. Purkinje cells are the principal neurons, and are transformed from a stellate morphology into their essential dendritic structures between the first and second weeks (Eccles, 1970; Sotelo and Rossi, 2013). At the early postnatal stage, granule cell precursors are the most abundant in the external granular layer (EGL), followed by an inward radial migration along the Bergmann glial radial fibers to their destination, the internal granule layer (IGL; Komuro et al., 2001; Buffo and Rossi, 2013). By the end of the third postnatal week, the EGL disappeared and three well-defined neuronal layers have formed (Qiu et al., 2010). | |

Propofol (6,2 diisopropylphenol) is an anesthetic that works through the activation of gamma amino butyric acid A (GABAA) (NMDA) and block of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors glutamate receptors (Franks and Lieb, 1994; Irifune et al., 2003). It is widely used in the clinic for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia and conscious sedation, especially in neurosurgery, for its unique benefit on cerebral physiology including reduction in cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure and cerebral metabolism (Diaz and Kaye, 2017). The increasing utilization of propofol as a drug of abuse is of high concern, and a public health threat, especially for developing fetuses. Studies in rodents have confirmed that propofol exposure caused toxic effects in the developing brain. Consistent with other reports, we previously found that propofol administration during early postnatal life suppressed hippocampal neurogenesis (Huang et al., 2016). Additionally, propofol has been implicated in causing movement disorders since 30 years ago, which strongly suggests that propofol may damage the cerebellum (Dingwall, 1987; Zabani and Vaghadia, 1996; Bendiksen and Larsen, 1998; Brooks, 2008). Recent studies have also indicated that propofol depressed Purkinje cell activity and affected the cerebellum circuitry (Jin R. et al., 2015; Jin W. Z. et al., 2015; Lee K. Y. et al., 2015). However, little is known regarding the impact of propofol exposure on the development of the cerebellar neuronal population. | |
In this study, newborn mice at P7 were administered a single injection of 30 or 60 mg/kg of propofol or vehicle of equal volume to explore the effects of propofol on Purkinje cell dendritogenesis and Bergmann glia development. The migration of newborn granule cells in the EGL was evaluated with a 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling protocol. As the Notch signaling pathway has been indicated to play crucial roles in the regulation of development of Bergmann | |

its involvement in the underlying mechanism on the glia, neurotoxic effects by propofol during the early stage were also explored. | |
MATERIALS AND METHODS | |
Animals Male and female C57/BL6 mice were provided by the Third Military Medical University and housed under a 12 h light/dark cycle in a temperature-controlled room with free access to food and water. All the experimental procedures were performed in accordance with the guidelines for laboratory animal care and use and were approved by Third Military Medical University. Each litter was kept together with its mother throughout the experiment, except for the brief intervals of separation required for the daily injections. At least five mice in each group were analyzed for immunofluorescence staining and three mice for western blot. | |
Drug Treatment The day of birth was designated postnatal day 0 (P0). On P7, pups injection intraperitoneally (i.p.) at a subanesthetic dose of 30 or 60 mg/kg (Cattano et al., 2008; Yang B. et al., 2014), according to our previous study (Huang et al., 2016). The same volume of intralipid was administered i.p. as a vehicle the neonatal mice were grouped control randomly with a random number table base for similar body weight. | |

To explore the morphological changes in the Purkinje cells, Bergmann glia and granule neuron, pups were sacrificed 24 h (P8) after drug treatment. To evaluate whether propofol affected the radial migration of the granule neurons, a single-dose BrdU injection (50 mg/kg i.p., dissolved in saline) was administered to the pups at P8, which was 1 day after injection with propofol or vehicle. Pups were sacrificed 2 days after the BrdU injection (P10). | |
To maintain a mouse body temperature of 37◦C, the pups were primitively anesthetized in their home cage and then transferred to a Thermocare(cid:114) ICS therapy warmer unit (Thermocare, Incline Village, NV, USA) after being sedated to keep warm in all the experiments. Meanwhile, mouse normal skin color and respiration were observed. | |
Immunofluorescence The dissected cerebella were soaked in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h. For cryosections, the tissues (P8) were embedded and sectioned in the sagittal plane at 30 µm. The remaining tissues (P8) and tissues collected on P10 were embedded in paraffin and sagittal sections (5 µm thickness) were collected. Cryosections were used for all the immunofluorescence staining for P8 and paraffin sections were used for Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and BrdU immunofluorescence staining. The sections were pretreated with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (37◦C, 1 h) to block non-specific binding and 0.3% Triton X-100 (37◦C, 30 min) to increase permeability. Then, the sections were incubated with the following primary antibodies in 1% BSA (4◦C, | |

18 h): (1) mouse anti-calbindin D-28K (CB) (1:1000, Swant, Bellinzona, Switzerland); (2) rabbit polyclonal anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (1:200, Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany); (3) rabbit polyclonal anti-brain lipid binding protein (BLBP) (1:400, Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany); and (4) mouse anti-neuronal nuclei (NeuN) (1:200, Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). One percent BSA served as the negative control. After three washing steps with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4), the sections were incubated with the following secondary antibodies in PBS (room temperature (RT), 3 h): (1) Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:400, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) for CB and NeuN staining; and (2) cy3-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:400, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) for BLBP and GFAP staining. All the sections were counterstained with 4(cid:48),6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and then mounted in Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). For BrdU staining, the paraffin sections were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated in graded alcohol and processed for antigen retrieval by boiling in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 5 min. After incubation in 2 M HCl (37◦C, 30 min) and 0.3% Triton X-100 (37◦C, the sections were exposed to mouse anti-BrdU 30 min), IgG (37◦C for 2 h and then RT for 22 h) (1:600, BD PharmingenTM, Palo Alto, CA, USA) in 1% BSA, followed by the cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (RT, 3 h) (1:400, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) and DAPI counterstaining. Fluorescence micrographs of the whole parasagittal cerebellar slices were acquired under a Zeiss (Oberkochen, Germany) Axiovert microscope equipped with a Zeiss AxioCam digital color camera connected to the Zeiss Axiovision 3.0 system. The pictures of the Purkinje dendrite and Bergmann fiber contact points were taken with a TCS-SP8 (Leica, Germany) laser scanning confocal microscope connected to a LAS AF Lite system. A z-stack of images, consisting of 6 image planes taken at 1 µm interval was obtained (for a total stack depth of 5 µm). The 5 µm z-stack was taken from the middle of the section to minimize the potential artificial bias. | |
Western Blot Cerebella were harvested on P8 and then isolated and homogenized in ice-cold RIPA Lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After centrifuging the lysates (15,000× g, 5 min at 4◦C), the protein concentration was calculated using the Bicinchoninic Acid Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Then, 50 µg of protein from each sample was separated by 10% SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis (120 min 80 V) and then transferred to a nitrocellulose (NC) membrane (90 min at 210 mA). The membranes were incubated in 5% fat-free milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (3 h at RT). Membranes were then incubated with the following primary antibodies (4◦C, overnight): (1) hamster monoclonal anti-Notch1 (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA); (2) rabbit polyclonal anti-Jagged1 (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA); (3) mouse anti- β-actin (1:1000, Cell Cwbio, Beijing, China); and (4) rabbit | |

All the bands were exposed to X-ray films (Kodak, Rochester, NY, USA), detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit IL, USA), and analyzed (Quantity One 4.0; Bio-Rad with the Gel-Pro analyzer Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Quantification of Jagged1 and Notch1 were normalized to the internal reference protein β-actin or GAPDH, and then normalized to the control values. | |

Quantification The quantification was obtained from regional analysis of lobe IX. All the sections were taken from similar medial- lateral position within the cerebellum, and each count area was chosen from the same field by the middle of the lobe IX. Calbindin-positive cells were analyzed along the long axis for 500 µm in the middle, and the dendrite length of Purkinje cells was evaluated by measuring the primary dendrite from the soma up to the surface of the ML (three Purkinje dendrites were measured per picture). Number of the NeuN-positive granule neurons were analyzed in the center the IGL in lobe IX along the long axis (unit region of area 2000 µm2). The number of BLBP- and GFAP-positive Bergmann fibers was counted from a 100-µm length in the middle area of lobe IX according to our previous methods (Yamada et al., 2000; Eiraku et al., 2005; Yang Y. et al., 2014). To analyze the astrocytes in the deep white matter, we compared the intensity of the GFAP-positive cells and fibers. Both the background integrated optical density (IOD) and surveyed area (same center area of the white matter from each group) were acquired, and the relative optical density (ROD) was calculated by subtracting the background from the IOD of the positive staining (Bao et al., 2017). Contact points between the calbindin-positive Purkinje cells and GFAP-positive Bergmann fibers were defined as where the tips of growing Purkinje cell dendrites were aligned parallel and attached directly to the rod-like domain of Bergmann fibers, entering the base of the overlying EGL, as previously reported (Yamada et al., 2000; Yamada and Watanabe, 2002; Lordkipanidze and Dunaevsky, 2005). Points were counted per image (212.5-µm length) at the interface between the EGL and ML. Only the yellow dots at the end of the dendrites in the direction of the Bergmann fiber were included, while the crossed ones were excluded in case of false positive. For quantifying granule neuron migration, BrdU-labeled cells were counted in a rectangular box (200 µm width and about 100 cells were counted) extending from the pial surface to the end of the IGL; this value was expressed as a percentage of the total number of BrdU-labeled cells. At least five sections were analyzed in each mouse and five mice from each group. All the quantitative statistics were performed blind to the experimental treatment. | |

(30 or 60 mg/kg) compared with the vehicle-treated group (Figure 4G). Bergmann glial morphology was further assessed by immunostaining histological sections of the cerebella with antibodies directed at GFAP (Figures 4D–F). There were no significant differences in the GFAP-labeled Bergmann glial processes between the propofol (30 mg/kg)-treated and vehicle-treated groups, whereas the number of radial shafts was significantly decreased after propofol administration at the 60 mg/kg dose; and the images displayed hyperplastic astrocytes in the deep white matter (Figures 4H,I). The results showed that propofol promoted a great disturbance in radial glia phenotypic differentiation and Bergmann glia filiform processes that influenced the formation of the radial scaffold. | |
defined as dendritic tips in parallel and closely stuck to the Bergmann glia fibers at the interface between the ML and EGL (Figures 5J–L). Immunolabeling for calbindin-positive dendrites and GFAP-positive fibers revealed that the number of contact points was significantly decreased due to the high propofol treatment at 60 mg/kg compared with the vehicle- treated group (Vehicle 19.50 ± 1.40 and Pro 60 mg/kg 16.58 ± 0.90, P < 0.01; n = 5; Figures 5J–M). The number of contact points was not affected after administration of 30 mg/kg propofol to the mice. Arrows showed the tips of calbindin-immunopositive dendrites are intimately attached to the rod-like shaft of Bergmann fiber contacting domains. These data indicated that the attachments of the Purkinje cells on Bergmann fibers were disrupted after propofol injection, which subsequently resulted in Purkinje cell dendritogenesis disorder. | |

the post-mitotic cells in the EGL migrate to their destination in the IGL. The correct positioning of these cells is essential for the final cytoarchitecture and in particular for the three well-defined laminations. It has been suggested that Bergmann glial provided the scaffold for granule neuron migration (Buffo and Rossi, 2013; Xu et al., 2013). BrdU birthdating was used to evaluate the effect of propofol on further granule neuron migration. At P10, the total number of BrdU positive cells was not changed by Propofol treatment (Vehicle 99.05 ± 14.77; Pro 30 or 60 mg/kg 107.40 ± 12.05 or 94.03 ± 16.26, respectively, P > 0.05; n = 5; Figure 7E) and there was no significant difference in the percent of BrdU-positive cells in the ML in the propofol-treated mice compared to the vehicle-treated mice (Figures 7A–C). While the statistical analysis revealed that propofol treatment (30 or 60 mg/kg) increased the percent of BrdU-positive cells in the EGL by 3% or 7.3%, respectively, compared to the vehicle-treated group (Figure 7D). Meanwhile, the percentage of BrdU-positive cells in the IGL was also decreased significantly by propofol treatment (60 mg/kg) compared with the vehicle- treated mice; in contrast, there were no changes due to propofol administration at the 30 mg/kg dosage (Figure 7D). These results indicate that propofol treatment did not suppress the proliferation, but the migration of granule neurons from the EGL to IGL. | |

Propofol Treatment Down-Regulates the Jagged1/Notch Pathway in the Cerebellum It has been reported that BLBP protein is a direct target of Notch signaling (Anthony et al., 2005) and active Notch1 signaling is involved in radial fiber formation of Bergmann glia (Xu et al., 2013). The loss of Jagged1, a ligand for Notch signaling, induced a reduction in the number of Bergmann glia cells and affected their morphology (Tanaka and Marunouchi, 2003; Weller et al., 2006). We found that Jagged1 and Notch1 levels were considerably decreased in the the cerebella at P8 following exposure to propofol at 30 mg/kg dose compared to vehicle treatment; a further reduction was detected after treatment with the 60 mg/kg dose (Figure 8A). Quantitative analysis showed that propofol treatment (30 or 60 mg/kg) decreased Jagged1 expression by 20% or 32%, respectively, compared with the vehicle-treated group (Figure 8B); Notch1 protein levels were decreased by 22% and 45%, respectively (Figure 8C). These results suggested that propofol impaired the morphogenesis and phenotypic differentiation of Bergmann glia, potentially via Jagged1/Notch1 signaling. | |

of 60 mg/kg led to reduced Purkinje cell dendritogenesis, cells migration, and suppressed radial retarded granule glia phenotypic differentiation to Bergmann glia cells. The unbalanced transformational process demonstrated by decreased glial fibers in the ML and increased GFAP-positive astrocytes in the white matter may be due to inhibition of Notch signaling. Propofol at a lower dose of 30 mg/kg resulted in a less pronounced interruption in cerebellar development, with no significant influences on Purkinje cell morphogenesis. | |
Purkinje neurons are GABAergic neurons and considered the sole output neuron in the to grow postnatally. As circuit, Purkinje neurons are also the major cerebellar cell group that integrate motor coordination and learning (Van Der Giessen et al., 2008; Lee R. X. et al., 2015). In rodents, Purkinje neurons exhibit cytoarchitectural changes characterized by highly branched dendritic trees during first 2 weeks after birth (Tanaka, 2009). Our previous studies together with other reports have demonstrated that | |
Purkinje neurons are extremely vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of EtOH exposure during the early postnatal period (Yang Y. et al., 2014). Emerging evidence has found that propofol administration to neonatal animals caused significant loss in the hippocampus (Han et al., 2015; Huang cell et al., 2016), a typical laminated structure development investigation, we demonstrated that postnatally. propofol exposure significantly decreased Purkinje neurons as assessed by calbindin in the cerebellum at P8 in a dose-dependent manner. We further confirmed that propofol reduced administration into neonatal mice the length of cerebellar Purkinje neuron dendrites in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these results indicated that propofol treatment impaired dendritic growth in Purkinje neurons. | |

all cerebellar glia, including the Bergmann glia, a specialized subtype of the astrocyte (Buffo and Rossi, 2013). It has been indicated that Bergmann glial cells are arranged around the cell bodies of Purkinje neurons at P8 (Xu et al., 2013). Both BLBP and GFAP are specific markers for Bergmann glia, and immunofluorescence staining showed that the number of Bergmann glial fibers in mice exposed to propofol was significantly decreased and that the radial fibers could not extend to the pial surface. Moreover, GFAP-positive, star-shaped astrocytes were increased in the IGL and deep white matter of the cerebella after propofol treatment at the 60 mg/kg dose. These data implied that propofol might accelerate the transformation of radial glial cells into astrocytic phenotype, with star-shaped bushy processes, rather than Bergmann glia with filiform processes. Indeed, Bergmann glia extend long radial fibers in synchrony with the growth of Purkinje cell dendrites during postnatal development. Thus, Bergmann glial fibers may specifically contribute to Purkinje cell dendrite development (Bellamy, 2006). Recent studies indicated that Bergmann fibers enwrapped the synapses in parallel and climbing fibers interact with Purkinje cells affecting Purkinje cell dendrite arborization (Yamada et al., 2000; Lordkipanidze and Dunaevsky, 2005). Consistent with previous reports, we noticed that suppressed Bergmann glial cell filiform processes and their alignment from propofol exposure led to decreased attachments between Purkinje cell dendritic tips and glial fibers loss fibers. Hence, might contribute to propofol-induced suppressed Purkinje cell dendritogenesis. | |

inferred that Bergmann glial | |
laminated postnatal cerebellar cortex structures is achieved through the directional migration of committed granule neurons along the Bergmann glial radial fibers from the EGL to their destination in the IGL (Sillitoe and Joyner, 2007; Qiu et al., 2010). The intimate structural associations between granule neurons and Bergmann glial fibers are crucial for granule neuron migration. Moreover, several abnormalities in the Bergmann glial fiber radial scaffold structure have been shown to cause granule cell migration alterations (Shetty et al., 1994; Qu and Smith, 2005; Yue et al., 2005; Lin et al., 2009; Nguyen et al., 2013). Propofol induced a thicker EGL and increased number of granule cells remaining in the EGL, which suggested that granule cell migration was retarded. We found that granule cell migration from the EGL to IGL was markedly suppressed by using BrdU birthdating. The lower efficiency of migration could be due to physical impediments to the Bergmann fibers. It is also possible that some granule neurons migrate normally along adequate fibers; hence, only a subpopulation is dramatically retarded in their migration. | |

several transcription factors and nuclear receptors (Xu et al., 2013). It has been reported that the Notch signaling pathway was an important factor involved in Bergmann glial differentiation and maturation (Lutolf et al., 2002; Tanaka and Marunouchi, 2003). Additionally, the Notch signaling pathway regulates early events in radial formation through direct cell-cell contacts and is necessary for neuronal-induced radial glia formation (Weinmaster, 1997; Gaiano et al., 2000). An in vitro study has | |

confirmed that Notch pathway activation induced cerebellar astroglia to adopt radial glia morphologies (Patten et al., 2003). Many studies have demonstrated that Notch or Jagged ablation in mice promoted a reduced number of Bergmann glia and abnormal Bergmann processes, which led to further deceleration of granule cell migration and impaired Purkinje cell development (Lutolf et al., 2002; Weller et al., 2006; Komine et al., 2007). In this study, we found that both Notch1 and Jagged1 levels were decreased by propofol treatment, even at the low dose, indicating that the Notch signaling pathway was active early in the inhibition of Bergmann glia development induced by propofol exposure. | |
It has been raised that mechanism of propofol toxicity in immature neurons was GABAergic via the GABAA receptor (Kahraman et al., 2008). GABAA receptor is widely distributing in the cerebellum, including granule cells, Bergmann cells, Purkinje cells, stellate/basket cells and so on (Laurie et al., 1992). What’s more, the GABAA receptors in Bergmann glia express more in the early development period and then decrease in the adulthood (Müller et al., 1994). It highly matches the enhanced activity of Bergmann glia in granule cell migration and synapse formation or remodeling in the early time. Riquelme et al. (2002) found 50% of the Purkinje dendritic spines with the neuronal GABAA receptors were wrapped by Bergmann glia fibers contained GABAA receptors. Ango et al. (2008) further confirmed the dendritic-targeting GABAergic stellate axons are guided to Purkinje dendrites by the Bergmann fibers scaffold and crucial in the physiological control of synaptic integration in postsynaptic neurons. GABAA receptor indeed plays an important role in Bergmann glia function. Therefore, the influence of propofol on Bergmann glia or the whole cerebellum via GABAA receptor deserved more consideration, and the relationship between GABAA receptor and Notch pathway needed to be further explored. | |
In conclusion, our data indicate that propofol treatment during the early postnatal time significantly impaired Bergmann glial cell development and filiform processes, and led to and granule inhibition of Purkinje cells migration afterwards. This the that cerebellum is sensitive to neurotoxicity induced by high doses of propofol. These findings suggest that propofol used in neonates or young children should be monitored more carefully. | |
