Different neurotropic pathogens elicit neurotoxic CCR9- or neurosupportive CXCR3-expressing microglia.
What mechanism that determines microglia accomplishing destructive or constructive role in CNS remains nebulous. We report here that intracranial priming and rechallenging with Toxoplasma gondii in mice elicit neurotoxic CCR9+ Irg1+ (immunoresponsive gene 1) microglia, which render resistance to apoptosis and produce a high level of TNF-alpha; priming and rechallenging with lymphocytic choriome...
متن کاملIs dengue virus neurotropic?
Dengue viral infection is on the rise in tropical urban and semi-urban parts of the world. WHO fact sheetN°117 updated in May 2015 estimates 390 million dengue infections per year and that 3900 million people, in 128 countries, are at risk. The WHO case definition of severe dengue includes organ impairment, but does not describe neurological manifestations as a separate entity. Earliest reports...
متن کاملZika Virus Induced Neurotropic Brain Injury: Lessons for the Study of Disease Etiology and Vaccine Development Against Pathogens
Studies have found convincing evidence of association of ZIKV with Guillan-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a small preliminary report suggests association with microcephaly in one location. We have previously found a plausible cause (molecular mimicry to Polio Virus Receptors A, B and C). We also found plausible evidence of pathways from ZIKV infection to microcephaly though P53-BAX-mitochondrial mediate...
متن کاملNeurotropic alphaviruses can propagate without capsid
Alphaviruses are a group of enveloped viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. Many alphaviruses are neurotropic, being able to produce encephalitis in humans and animals. Among alphaviruses, both Semliki Forest (SFV) and Sindbis virus (SIN) have been extensively studied as models of viral pathogenicity. In mice, SFV and SIN can infect neurons in the central nervous system and virulent strains induce...
متن کاملSubstrate Specificity of Neurotropic Influenza Virus Neuraminidases.
FIG. 1. Effect of incr-easing substrate concentrations upon the magnitude of reaction with three influenza virus enzymes. Substrate in 0.5 si phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 6 as indicated, and PBS to a total of 0.25 ml (human ac-GP, 4 mg/ ml; ovo, 40 mg/nil; PSM, 30 mg/ml), 0.05 ml of enzyme. Enzymes for these studies were virus concentrates prepared from infected chorioallantoic fluid by ...
