Surgery increases cell death and induces changes in gene expression compared with anesthesia alone in the developing piglet brain. by Kevin D Broad, Go Kawano, Igor Fierens, Eridan Rocha-Ferreira, Mariya Hristova, Mojgan Ezzati, Jamshid Rostami, Daniel Alonso-Alconada, Badr Chaban, Jane Hassell, Bobbi Fleiss, Pierre Gressens, Robert D Sanders, Nicola J Robertson

“…Compared to anesthesia alone, surgery-induced significant increases in cell death in eight areas of the brain. Using RNAseq data derived from all 12 piglets per group we also identified significant changes in the expression of 181 gene transcripts induced by surgery in the cingulate cortex, pathway analysis of these changes suggests that surgery influences the thrombin, aldosterone, axonal guidance, B cell, ERK-5, eNOS and GABAA signalling pathways. …”
