Vitamin B12 is neuroprotective in experimental pneumococcal meningitis through modulation of hippocampal DNA methylationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 Số 1 - 2020
Karina Barbosa de Queiroz, Vanessa Cavalcante-Silva, Flávia L. Lopes, Gifone A. Rocha, Vânia D’Almeida, Roney Santos Coimbra
Abstract Background Bacterial meningitis (BM) causes apoptotic damage to the
hippocampus and homocysteine (Hcy) accumulation to neurotoxic levels in the
cerebrospinal fluid of children. The Hcy pathway controls bioavailability of
methyl, and its homeostasis can be modulated by vitamin B12, a cofactor of the
methionine synthase enzyme. Herein, the neuroprotective potential and the
underlying mode o... hiện toàn bộ
Novel role for SLPI in MOG-induced EAE revealed by spinal cord expression analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-20 - 2008
Andre M Mueller, Xiomara Pedré, Thomas Stempfl, Ingo Kleiter, Sebastien Couillard-Despres, Ludwig Aigner, Gerhard Giegerich, Andreas Steinbrecher
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin
oligodendrocyte protein (MOG) in female Dark Agouti (DA) rats is a chronic
demyelinating animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). To identify new candidate
molecules involved in the evolution or repair of EAE-lesions we used Affymetrix
oligonucleotide microarrays to compare the spinal cord transcriptome at the peak
of EAE, during re... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence of innate immune dysfunction in first-episode psychosis patients with accompanying mood disorderSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-15 - 2022
Heather K. Hughes, Houa Yang, Tyler A. Lesh, Cameron S. Carter, Paul Ashwood
Inflammation and increases in inflammatory cytokines are common findings in
psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and
major depressive disorder (MDD). Meta-analyses of studies that measured
circulating cytokines have provided evidence of innate inflammation across all
three disorders, with some overlap of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and
TNF-α. However, d... hiện toàn bộ
Chronic airway-induced allergy in mice modifies gene expression in the brain toward insulin resistance and inflammatory responsesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-11 - 2013
Heela Sarlus, Xiuzhe Wang, Angel Cedazo-Minguez, Marianne Schultzberg, Mircea Oprica
Chronic systemic inflammation affects brain functionality and may negatively
influence the progression of neurodegenerative disorders. Allergy is a chronic
inflammatory disease affecting more than 20% of the Western population. Little
is known regarding the influence of allergy on brain functions. The aim of the
present study was to obtain a global overview of the genes that drive the
effects of p... hiện toàn bộ
Cyclic AMP is a key regulator of M1 to M2a phenotypic conversion of microglia in the presence of Th2 cytokinesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-14 - 2016
Mousumi Ghosh, Yong Xu, Damien D. Pearse
Microglia and macrophages play a central role in neuroinflammation.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines trigger their conversion to a classically activated
(M1) phenotype, sustaining inflammation and producing a cytotoxic environment.
Conversely, anti-inflammatory cytokines polarize the cells towards an
alternatively activated (M2), tissue reparative phenotype. Elucidation of the
signal transduction pathwa... hiện toàn bộ
FTY720 (fingolimod) modulates the severity of viral-induced encephalomyelitis and demyelinationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-12 - 2014
Caroline A Blanc, Hugh Rosen, Thomas E Lane
FTY720 (fingolimod) is the first oral drug approved by the Food and Drug
Administration for treatment of patients with the relapsing-remitting form of
the human demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis. Evidence suggests that the
therapeutic benefit of FTY720 occurs by preventing the egress of lymphocytes
from lymph nodes thereby inhibiting the infiltration of disease-causing
lymphocytes into the ... hiện toàn bộ
Choroid plexus-selective inactivation of adenosine A2A receptors protects against T cell infiltration and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-15 - 2022
Wu Zheng, Yijia Feng, Zhenhai Zeng, Mengqian Ye, Mengru Wang, Xin Liu, Ping Tang, Huiping Shang, Xiaoting Sun, Xiangxiang Lin, Muran Wang, Zhengzheng Li, Yiyun Weng, Wei Guo, Sergii Vakal, Jiang-fan Chen
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders
characterized by the infiltration of immune cells into the brain and
demyelination. The unwanted immunosuppressive side effect of therapeutically
successful natalizumab led us to focus on the choroid plexus (CP), a key site
for the first wave of immune cell infiltration in experimental autoimmune
encephalomyelitis (EAE), for th... hiện toàn bộ
Lipoxin A4 inhibits microglial activation and reduces neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain after spinal cord hemisectionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2016
Alessandra Cadete Martini, Temugin Berta, Stefânia Forner, Gang Chen, Allisson Freire Bento, Ru-Rong Ji, Giles Alexander Rae
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe neurological disorder with many disabling
consequences, including persistent neuropathic pain, which develops in about
40 % of SCI patients and is induced and sustained by excessive and uncontrolled
spinal neuroinflammation. Here, we have evaluated the effects of lipoxin A4
(LXA4), a member of a unique class of endogenous lipid mediators with both
anti-inflamma... hiện toàn bộ
Leukocyte infiltration in experimental strokeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2013
Nina Vindegaard Grønberg, Flemming Fryd Johansen, Uffe Kristiansen, Henrik Hasseldam
Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. At present, the
only available treatment is thrombolysis, which should be initiated no later
than 4.5 hours after onset of symptoms. Several studies have shown that an
attenuation of the inflammatory response in relation to stroke could widen the
therapeutic window. However, the immune system has important functions following
infarct... hiện toàn bộ
