摘要

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a severe neurological syndrome marked by widespread brain dysfunctions due to sepsis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The current study, using a Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic rat model, revealed the hyperphosphorylation of tau and cognitive impairments, accompanied by the release of inflammatory cytokines and activation of glial cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus region of septic rats. Proteomic and bioinformatic analyses identified C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10) as a central regulator of neuroinflammation. LPS triggered CXCL10 secretion in astrocytes, and astrocyte-conditioned medium from LPS-treated astrocytes induced tau hyperphosphorylation and synaptic deficits. Recombinant CXCL10 recapitulated these effects in vitro and in vivo. Blocking CXCL10–CXCR3 interaction reversed tau phosphorylation, synaptic impairment, and cognitive decline. Mechanistically, CXCL10–CXCR3 interaction activated CaMKII, driving tau hyperphosphorylation, while CaMKII inhibition restored synaptic protein levels. These findings establish CXCL10 as a key driver of tau pathology in SAE and suggest CXCL10–CXCR3 as a therapeutic target for sepsis-induced cognitive impairments.
