Activated microglia-induced inflammation in the hippocampus plays an important role in perioperative neurocognitive disorders. Previous studies have shown that sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 3 (hSiglec-3, ortholog of mouse Siglec-E) engagement in microglia and its glycan ligands on neurons contributes to inflammatory homeostasis through an endogenous negative regulation pathway. This study aimed to explore whether the glycan ligand alteration on neurons plays a role in sevoflurane-induced perioperative neurocognitive disorders. This study's data has shown that a slight Siglec-E ligands' expression decrease does not induce inflammation homeostasis disruption. We also demonstrated that the ligand level on neurons was decreased with age, and the reduced Siglec-E ligand expression on neurons caused via sevoflurane was induced by neuraminidase 1. Furthermore, this study has shown that the Siglec-E ligand expression decline caused by age and sevoflurane treatment could decrease the ligands' level, thus leading to inflammatory homeostasis disruption. This research provided a novel mechanism for perioperative neurocognitive disorder susceptibility in the elderly. © 2023.
