Effect of β2-agonist terbutaline on neuronal cell death following lipopolysaccharide-induced sensitization to OGD in murine hippocampal slice cultures. A. Temporal development of cell damage (mean fluorescence intensity (MFI)) after 15 min oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), LPS (1 μg/ml) for 24 h + 15 min oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), β2-agonist terbutaline, (5 μM) + 24 h LPS + 15 min OGD and β2-agonist terbutaline (50 μM) + 24 h LPS + OGD. The same culture is shown at repeated time points of recovery. B. Cell death (MFI) after 15 min OGD (hatched bars), 24 h LPS+ 15 min OGD (white bars), terbutaline (5 μM) + 24 h LPS + 15 min OGD (shaded bars) and terbutaline (50 μM) + 24 h LPS + 15 min OGD (dark shaded bars) at repeated points of recovery. Data are shown as means ± SEM with n = 18. LPS+OGD versus OGD, P < 0.001 in the CA1; terbutaline (5 μM) + LPS + OGD versus LPS + OGD, p < 0.01 in the CA1; terbutaline (50 μM) + LPS + OGD versus terbutaline (5 μM) + LPS + OGD, p < 0.01 in the CA1. Repeated-measures ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni.
