Abstract
Hypothalamic inflammation is a key component of acute sickness behavior and cachexia, yet mechanisms of inflammatory signaling in the central nervous system remain unclear. Previous work from our lab and others showed that while MyD88 is an important inflammatory signaling pathway for sickness behavior, MyD88 knockout (MyD88KO) mice still experience sickness behavior after inflammatory stimuli challenge. We found that after systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, MyD88KO mice showed elevated expression of several cytokine and chemokine genes in the hypothalamus. We therefore assessed the role of an additional inflammatory signaling pathway, TRIF, in acute inflammation (LPS challenge) and in a chronic inflammatory state (cancer cachexia). TRIFKO mice resisted anorexia and weight loss after peripheral (intraperitoneal, IP) or central (intracerebroventricular, ICV) LPS challenge and in a model of pancreatic cancer cachexia. Compared to WT mice, TRIFKO mice showed attenuated upregulation of Il6, Ccl2, Ccl5, Cxcl1, Cxcl2, and Cxcl10 in the hypothalamus after IP LPS treatment, as well as attenuated microglial activation and neutrophil infiltration into the brain after ICV LPS treatment. Lastly, we found that TRIF was required fo...Continue Reading
