Differential role of CCR2 in the dynamics of microglia and perivascular macrophages during prion disease
The expansion of the microglial population is one of the hallmarks of numerous brain disorders. The addition of circulating progenitors to the pool of brain macrophages can contribute to the progression of brain disease and needs to be precisely defined to better understand the evolution of the glial and inflammatory reactions in the brain. We have analyzed the degree of infiltration/recruitmen...
متن کاملMüller Cell–Microglia Cross Talk Drives Neuroinflammation in Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common complication of diabetes and a leading cause of vision loss worldwide (1). Unfortunately, there are no treatments targeting early stages of the disease prior to the onset of sight-threatening vascular defects such as macular edema or neovascularization. A better understanding of the etiology of DR is needed to identify therapeutic targets to halt ear...
متن کامل[Microglia in neurodegenerative disorders and neuroinflammation].
Microglia often accumulate around degenerating neurons. These macrophage-like immune cells produce a variety of neurotoxic and neuroprotective factors. Thus, the accumulation of glia in various neurologic disorders does not reflect only gliosis, but likely results in an active contribution to neuroinflammation, neural degeneration, and cell regeneration. We previously showed that glutamate is t...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation and cell therapy for Parkinson's disease.
Cell therapy is a promising therapeutic alternative for Parkinson's disease, and one possible limiting factor may be that the pathological environment of PD is hostile for the process of neurogenesis, including grafted stem cells survival, proliferation, migration and dopaminergic neuronal fate specification along with maturation of the immature neurons and ultimately integration of the new neu...
متن کاملModification of blood cell PrP epitope exposure during prion disease.
PrPC [normal cellular PrP (prion-related protein)] is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked cell-surface glycoprotein that is expressed primarily by cells of the central and peripheral nervous system and the lymphoreticular system. During prion disease, PrPC undergoes structural modification to PrPSc (abnormal disease-specific conformation of PrP). The appearance of prion infectivity and PrPSc ...
