Fingolimod phosphate promotes the neuroprotective effects of microglia.
Fingolimod phosphate (FTY720) is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist that is being used as a new oral drug for multiple sclerosis. FTY720 prevents lymphocytes from moving out of the lymphoid organs and inhibits autoreactive lymphocytes from infiltrating the central nervous system. Whether FTY720 directly affects microglia-the innate immune cells of the central nervous system-is unc...
متن کاملInterleukin (IL)-6 Inhibits IL-27- and IL-30-Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Human Monocytes
Interleukin (IL)-30, the IL-27p28 subunit of the heterodimeric cytokine IL-27, acts as an antagonist of IL-27 and IL-6 signaling in murine cells via glycoprotein 130 (gp130) receptor and additional binding partners. Thus far, functions of IL-30 have not been fully elucidated in human cells. We demonstrate that like IL-27, IL-30 upregulated TLR4 expression to enhance lipopolysaccharide-induced T...
متن کاملInterleukin-27 Signaling Promotes Immunity against Endogenously Arising Murine Tumors
Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a pleiotropic cytokine but its immunosuppressive effects predominate during many in vivo immunological challenges. Despite this, evidence from tumor cell line transfer models suggested that IL-27 could promote immune responses in the tumor context. However, the role of IL-27 in immunity against tumors that develop in situ and in tumor immunosurveillance remain undefine...
متن کاملImpaired Inflammatory Responses in Murine Lrrk2-Knockdown Brain Microglia
LRRK2, a Parkinson's disease associated gene, is highly expressed in microglia in addition to neurons; however, its function in microglia has not been evaluated. Using Lrrk2 knockdown (Lrrk2-KD) murine microglia prepared by lentiviral-mediated transfer of Lrrk2-specific small inhibitory hairpin RNA (shRNA), we found that Lrrk2 deficiency attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mRNA and/or p...
متن کاملAnnexin A1: a central player in the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective role of microglia.
The brain microenvironment is continuously monitored by microglia with the detection of apoptotic cells or pathogens being rapidly followed by their phagocytosis to prevent inflammatory responses. The protein annexin A1 (ANXA1) is key to the phagocytosis of apoptotic leukocytes during peripheral inflammatory resolution, but the pathophysiological significance of its expression in the CNS that i...
