Inflammatory priming of the substantia nigra influences the impact of later paraquat exposure: Neuroimmune sensitization of neurodegeneration

Neurobiology of Aging
Emily Mangano, Shawn Hayley

Abstract

Activation of microglia along with the release of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative factors often accompanies toxin-induced degeneration of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopamine (DA) neurons. Multiple toxin exposure may synergistically influence microglial-dependent DA neuronal loss and, in fact, pre-treatment with one toxin may sensitize DA neurons to the impact of subsequent insults. Thus, we assessed whether priming SNc neurons with the inflammatory agent, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), influenced the impact of later exposure to the pesticide, paraquat, which has been reported to provoke DA loss. Indeed, LPS infusion into the SNc sensitized DA neurons to the neurodegenerative effects of a series of paraquat injections commencing 2 days later. In contrast, LPS pre-treatment actually protected against some of neurodegenerative effects of paraquat when the pesticide was administered 7 days after the endotoxin. These sensitization and de-sensitization effects were associated with altered expression of reactive microglia expressing inducible immunoproteasome subunits, as well as variations of fibroblast growth factor and a time-dependent infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Circulating levels of the inflammatory cytokin...Continue Reading

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Some PD-genes may be associated with astrocyte dysfunction. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in Parkinson's disease here.

Alzheimer's Disease: Microglia

Microglia are a type of glial cell found throughout the brain and spinal cord. Microglia have been found to be associated with Alzheimer's disease development and progression. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to Alzheimer's disease and microglia.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.
