Preventive effect of genetic knockdown and pharmacological blockade of CysLT1R on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced memory deficit and neurotoxicity in vivo
LPS-induced memory deficit in mice is accompanied by hippocampal CysLT1R upregulation. shRNA-mediated knockdown of CysLT1R prevents LPS-induced memory impairment. Pranlukast, a CysLT1R antagonist, prevents neurotoxicity in mice induced by LPS.
