Abstract

Interferongamma inducible protein-10 (IP10 or CXCL10), a Th-1 affiliated chemokine, is expressed by activated glial cells and may contribute to the trafficking of immune cells in the inflamed central nervous system. This study examines the regulation of the expression of this chemokine in cultured microglial cells focusing on the roles of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades. Exposure of a mouse microglial cell line, BV-2, to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IFNgamma led to an induction of IP10 mRNA and protein as determined by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. This induction was suppressed by pharmacological inhibitors of p38 MAPK (i.e., SB203580) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK, SP600125), suggesting the involvement of the two kinases in IP10 expression. LPS also induced the activity of an IP10 promoter reporter (luciferase) construct transfected into BV-2 cells in a MAP kinase- and NFkappaB-dependent manner. The use of deletion constructs revealed that the kinase-targeted sequences were within the region between -533 bp and -332 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site. Co-transfection of IP10 luciferase with the active forms of the upstream kinases in the MAP kinase cascades, i.e., MAPK kinase-3 (MKK3), MKK6 (the...Continue Reading

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.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

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.
