Activation of Microglial Poly(ADP-Ribose)-Polymerase-1 by Cholesterol Breakdown Products during Neuroinflammation: a Link between Demyelination and Neuronal Damage

چکیده
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease in which it has only recently been suggested that damage to neuronal structures plays a key role. Here, we uncovered a link between the release of lipid breakdown products, found in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of MS patients as well as in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and neuronal damage mediated by microglial activation. The concentrations of the breakdown product 7-ketocholesterol detected in the CSF of MS patients were capable of inducing neuronal damage via the activation and migration of microglial cells in living brain tissue. 7-ketocholesterol rapidly entered the nucleus and activated poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP)-1, followed by the expression of migration-regulating integrins CD11a and intercellular adhesion molecule 1. These findings reveal a novel mechanism linking demyelination and progressive neuronal damage, which might represent an underlying insidious process driving disease beyond a primary white matter phenomenon and rendering the microglial PARP-1 a possible antiinflammatory therapeutic target.

متن کاملP 115: Potential Therapeutic Targets Related to Neuroinflammation in Treatment and Prevention of Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with others and using language. In the last four decades many studies have shown that immune responses in different regions of brain play an important role in ASD pathogenicity. A conservative estimate based on the research suggests tha...
متن کاملInhibiting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase: a potential therapy against oligodendrocyte death.
Oligodendrocyte loss and demyelination are major pathological hallmarks of multiple sclerosis. In pattern III lesions, inflammation is minor in the early stages, and oligodendrocyte apoptosis prevails, which appears to be mediated at least in part through mitochondrial injury. Here, we demonstrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation and apoptosis inducing factor nuclear translocation within ...
متن کاملMUTYH promotes oxidative microglial activation and inherited retinal degeneration.
Oxidative stress is implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, including retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited disease that causes blindness. The biological and cellular mechanisms by which oxidative stress mediates neuronal cell death are largely unknown. In a mouse model of RP (rd10 mice), we show that oxidative DNA damage activates microglia through MutY homolog-mediated (MUYTH-med...
