Abstract Sevoflurane (Sevo) is widely used for general anesthesia during pregnancy. Emerging evidence indicates that maternal Sevo exposure can trigger developmental neurotoxicity in the offspring. Nonetheless, underlying mechanisms need further investigation. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats on gestational day 18 were exposed to 3.5% induce rat model of neurotoxicity. TAK-242, a TLR4 inhibitor, was administrated inhibit signaling transduction. Hippocampal tissues offspring harvested immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL Western blotting, ELISA, and measurement oxidative stress-related markers. Serum samples collected evaluate lipid metabolism-associated factors. Morris water maze implemented test cognitive function rats. Rat hippocampal neurons isolated elucidate effect TAK-242 BDNF/TrkB/CREB vitro. The results showed third trimester induced neuroinflammation, metabolism disturbance, stress, impaired spatial learning memory upregulated impeded transduction hippocampus offspring; administration reversed these effects. In conclusion, late gestation impairs ability possibly by promoting neuroinflammation disturbing via TLR4/BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway.
