Abstract

Microglia are CNS resident innate immune cells of myeloid origin that become activated and produce innate proinflammatory molecules upon encountering bacteria or viruses. TLRs are a phylogenetically conserved diverse family of sensors for pathogen-associated molecular patterns that drive innate immune responses. We have recently shown that mice deficient in TLR3 (TLR3(-/-) mice) are resistant to lethal encephalitis and have reduced microglial activation after infection with West Nile virus, a retrovirus that produces dsRNA. We wished to determine whether microglia recognize dsRNA through the TLR3 pathway. In vitro, murine wild-type primary cultured microglia responded to synthetic dsRNA polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) by increasing TLR3 and IFN-beta mRNA and by morphologic activation. Furthermore, wild-type microglia dose dependently secreted TNF-alpha and IL-6 after poly(I:C) challenge, whereas TLR3(-/-) microglia produced diminished cytokines. Activation of MAPK occurred in a time-dependent fashion following poly(I:C) treatment of wild-type microglia, but happened with delayed kinetics in TLR3(-/-) microglia. As an in vivo model of encephalitis, wild-type or TLR3(-/-) mice were injected intracerebroventricularly w...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.

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.
