Lipid dynamics in LPS-induced neuroinflammation by DESI-MS imaging.

It is well-established that bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can promote neuroinflammation through receptor Toll-like 4 and induces sickness behavior in mice. This phenomenon triggers changes in membranes lipid dynamics to promote the intracellular cell signaling. Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) is a powerful technique that can be used to image the distribution of lipids in brain tissue directly. In this work, we characterize the LPS-induced neuroinflammation and the lipid dynamics in C57bl/6 mice at 3 and 24 hours after LPS injection. We have observed that intraperitoneal administration of 5 µg/mg LPS induces sickness behavior and triggers a peripheral and cerebral increase of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels after 3 hours, but only IL-10 was upregulated after 24 hours. Morphological analysis of hypothalamus, cortex and hippocampus demonstrated that microglial activation was present after 24 hours of LPS injection, but not at three hours. DESI-MS revealed a total of 14 lipids significantly altered after 3 and 24 hours and as well as their neuroanatomical distribution. Multivariate statistical analyzes have shown that ions associated with phosphatidylethanolamine [PE(38:4)] and docosatetraenoic acid [FA (22:4)] could be used as biomarkers to distinguish samples from the control or LPS treated groups. Finally, our data demonstrated that monitoring cerebral lipids dynamics and its neuroanatomical distribution can be helpful to understand sickness behavior and microglial activation after LPS administration.
