Ketamine has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects on astrocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro and in vivo. However, the mechanism has not been elicited clearly. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ketamine on TLR4 expression and NF-ĸB-p65 phosphorylation, as well as the production of proinflammatory cytokines in LPS challenged astrocytes.
