Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a prevalent complication of sepsis, with hippocampal neuroinflammation playing a crucial role in SAE-induced cognitive impairment. Maresin1 (MaR1), a bioactive docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) metabolite, demonstrates comprehensive anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective attributes. Yet, its protective efficacy against SAE-induced cognitive decline remains unexplored. In this investigation, we implemented a rat SAE model via cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), while lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of HT22 cells simulated an in vitro SAE model; both models were pre-treated with MaR1. We evaluated rat learning and memory using a water maze, assessed hippocampal neuron damage via Nissl and FJC staining, and observed mitochondrial alterations through TEM. In vivo and in vitro assays gauged levels of Fe2+, MDA, GSH, and SOD. Additionally, Iba1 expression in the hippocampus was examined via immunofluorescence, while SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein expression levels were determined using western blot. Our findings indicated CLP-induced learning and memory impairment in rats, along with heightened ROS, Fe2+, and MDA levels in hippocampal neurons, diminished GSH and SOD levels, and down-regulated ferroptosis-related proteins (GPX4 and SLC7A11). Remarkably, MaR1 treatment attenuated these adverse effects. In LPS-stimulated HT22 cells, MaR1 lowered lipid ROS and bolstered mitochondrial membrane potential. Nonetheless, the ferroptosis inducer Erastin reversed MaR1's protective effects. Transwell experiments further showed MaR1's potential to inhibit microglia activation triggered by ferroptosis in HT22 cells. Consequently, MaR1 may mitigate hippocampal neuroinflammation via activating the SLC7A11/GPX4 ferroptosis signaling pathway, thus ameliorating SAE-related cognitive impairment.
