Immunologically induced electrophysiological dysfunction: implications for inflammatory diseases of the CNS and PNS

Progress in Neurobiology
H KöllerH P Hartung

Abstract

During inflammation of the central or peripheral nervous system, a high number of immunologically active molecules, including bacterial or viral products as well as host-derived cytokines, are released. Patients suffering from inflammatory CNS or PNS diseases often develop transient symptoms with a rapid recovery, which obviously cannot be accounted for by immunologically induced tissue damage. These observations led to the hypothesis that immunologically active molecules can affect directly the electrophysiological functions of neurons and glial cells. Evidence for this hypothesis came from in vitro studies showing that cytokines, such as interleukins or tumor necrosis factors, arachidonic acid and its metabolites, interfere with electrophysiological properties of neurons or glial cells. These molecules affect ion currents, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, membrane potentials, and suppress or enhance the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation. Similarly, virus proteins from human immunodeficiency virus type I were found to alter intracellular Ca2+ concentrations of neurons and astrocytes by modulating either transmitter receptors and channels or membrane transporters. Cerebrospinal fluid from MS patients contains f...Continue Reading
