This study investigated the role of SCH58261 in mice with chronic periodontitis-induced cognitive impairment. The results showed that SCH58261 could improve cognitive ability in mice, inhibit inflammatory responses and glutamate levels, and increase the expression of glutamate transporters. This suggests that SCH58261 may be used as a novel agent to treat cognitive impairment.
The adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonist SCH58261 has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, its role in chronic periodontitis (CP)-induced cognitive impairment, which is associated with Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis LPS), remains unclear. This study investigated the role of SCH58261 in mice with CP-induced cognitive impairment. C57BL/6J mice were used to develop CP model by injecting 0.5 mg/kg P. gingivalis LPS into the palatal gingival sulcus of maxillary first molars twice a week for four weeks. The mice were divided into control, P. gingivalis LPS (P-LPS), P-LPS + SCH58261, and SCH58261 groups. The passive avoidance test (PAT) and Morris water maze (MWM) were used to assess cognition in mice. Furthermore, CD73/adenosine, neuroinflammation, glutamate transporters, and glutamate were assessed. Compared with the P-LPS group, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg SCH58261 increased latency and decreased error times in PAT, but increased platform crossing number in MWM. SCH58261 inhibited microglial activation, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and glutamate levels, but increased GLT-1 and PSD95 expression in the hippocampus. This was the first report of SCH58261 treatment for CP-induced cognitive impairment, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory activities and anti-glutamate excitatory neurotoxicity. This suggests that SCH58261 can be used as a novel agent to treat cognitive impairment.
