AI Article Synopsis

  • Increasing evidence indicates that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a significant role in neuroinflammation, particularly after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
  • The study used siRNA to demonstrate that TREM2 deficiency worsens microglial inflammation and neurological impairment following SAH, while TREM2 knockout improved neuroinflammation and enhanced neurological outcomes.
  • Soluble TREM2 levels were found to correlate with the severity of SAH in patients, suggesting that targeting TREM2 could be a promising therapeutic approach for managing SAH.

Article Abstract

Increasing evidence suggests that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 () is implicated in the pathophysiology of neuroinflammation. The aim here was to investigate the neuroprotective role of and its regulatory mechanism after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). siRNA was administered to measure the detrimental role of in mediating microglial polarization and after experimental SAH. The relationship between Toll-like receptor 4 () signaling and was further explored. The soluble from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with SAH was detected. The results showed that mainly located in the microglia and presented a markedly delayed elevation after SAH. knockdown triggered increased pro-inflammatory productions, aggravated microglial activities, and further exacerbated neurological dysfunction after SAH. Significantly, knockout increased the expression of , accompanied by ameliorated neuroinflammation and improved neurological function. Corresponding to different clinical Hunt-Hess grades, obviously enhanced accumulation of soluble was detected in the CSF of patients with SAH. played a pivotal role in mediating microglial polarization after SAH, and the neuroprotective effect of might be potentially suppressed by the hyperactive in the early phase of SAH. Pharmacological targeting of may be a promising strategy for SAH therapy.

An aberrant pro-inflammatory microglia response has been associated with most neurodegenerative disorders. Identifying microglia druggable checkpoints to restore their physiological functions is an emerging challenge. Recent data have shown that microglia produce de novo neurosteroids, endogenous molecules exerting potent anti-inflammatory activity.

Major depressive disorder (MDD), as a multimodal neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative illness with high prevalence and disability rates, has become a burden to world health and the economy that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Neuroinflammation, an atypical immune response occurring in the brain, is currently gaining more attention due to its association with MDD. Microglia, as immune sentinels, have a vital function in regulating neuroinflammatory reactions in the immune system of the central nervous system.

Crisdesalazine alleviates inflammation in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis multiple sclerosis mouse model by regulating the immune system.

Microglia/macrophages participate in the development of and recovery from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and the macrophage M1 (pro-inflammatory)/M2 (anti-inflammatory) phase transition is involved in EAE disease progression. We evaluated the efficacy of crisdesalazine (a novel microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 inhibitor) in an EAE model, including its immune-regulating potency in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, and its neuroprotective effects in a macrophage-neuronal co-culture system. Crisdesalazine significantly alleviated clinical symptoms, inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination in the spinal cord, and altered the phase of microglial/macrophage and regulatory T cells.

Aquaporin‑1 regulates microglial polarization and inflammatory response in traumatic brain injury.

Department of Neurosurgery, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430030, P.R. China.

The present study investigated the mechanisms by which aquaporin 1 (AQP1) influences microglial polarization and neuroinflammatory processes in traumatic brain injury (TBI). A model of TBI was generated in AQP1‑knockout mice to assess the impact of AQP1 deletion on inflammatory cytokine release, neuronal damage and cognitive function. Immunofluorescence, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, western blotting and enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay were employed to evaluate pro‑inflammatory and anti‑inflammatory markers.

In recent years, modulation of microglial phenotype transformation has emerged as a promising strategy for treating central nervous system disorders. Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (Zhishi), a traditional Chinese medicine with versatile applications, contains p-Synephrine (p-SYN) as its principal bioactive compound, recognized for its anti-inflammatory efficacy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear.
