Abstract
Neuroinflammation is one of the core pathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Innate immune cells play a crucial role in the progression of PD. Microglia, the major innate immune cells in the brain, exhibit innate immune memory effects and are recognized as key regulators of neuroinflammatory responses. Persistent modifications of microglia provoked by the first stimuli are pivotal for innate immune memory, resulting in an enhanced or suppressed immune response to second stimuli, which is known as innate immune training and innate immune tolerance, respectively. In this study, LPS was used to establish in vitro and in vivo models of innate immune memory. Microglia-specific Hif-1α knockout mice were further employed to elucidate the regulatory role of HIF-1α in innate immune memory and MPTP-induced PD pathology. Our results showed that different paradigms of LPS could induce innate immune training or tolerance in the nigrostriatal pathway of mice. We found that innate immune tolerance lasting for one month protected the dopaminergic system in PD mice, whereas the effect of innate immune training was limited. Deficiency of HIF-1α in microglia impeded the formation of innate immune memory and exerted protective effects in MPTP-intoxicated mice by suppressing neuroinflammation. Therefore, HIF-1α is essential for microglial innate immune memory and can promote neuroinflammation associated with PD.

Abstract
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) is a newly described chronic inflammatory disease condition caused by KSHV infection and is characterized by high KSHV viral load and sustained elevations of serum KSHV-encoded IL-6 (vIL-6) and human IL-6 (hIL-6). KICS has significant immortality and possesses greater risks of having other complications, which include malignancies. Although prolonged inflammatory vIL-6 exposure by persistent KSHV infection is expected to have key roles in subsequent disease development, the biological effects of prolonged vIL-6 exposure remain elusive. Using thiol-Linked Alkylation for the Metabolic Sequencing and Cleavage Under Target & Release Using Nuclease analysis, we studied the effect of prolonged vIL-6 exposure in chromatin landscape and resulting cytokine production. The studies showed that prolonged vIL-6 exposure increased Bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4) and histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation co-occupancies on chromatin, and the recruitment sites were frequently co-localized with poised RNAPII with associated enzymes. Increased BRD4 recruitment on promoters was associated with increased and prolonged NF-κB p65 binding after the lipopolysaccharide stimulation. The p65 binding resulted in quicker and sustained transcription bursts from the promoters; this mechanism increased total amounts of hIL-6 and IL-10 in tissue culture. Pretreatment with the BRD4 inhibitor, OTX015, eliminated the enhanced inflammatory cytokine production. These findings suggest that persistent vIL-6 exposure may establish a chromatin landscape favorable for the reactivation of inflammatory responses in monocytes. This epigenetic memory may explain the greater risk of chronic inflammatory disease development in KSHV-infected individuals.

Abstract
A cell-based drug delivery system based on yeast-cell wall loaded with sitagliptin, a drug with an anti-inflammatory effect, was developed to control neuroinflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease. The optimized nanoparticles had a spherical shape with a negative surface charge, and were shown to be less toxic than the carrier and sitagliptin. Moreover, the nanoparticles caused anti-inflammatory effects against tumor necrosis factor-alpha in mice model of neuroinflammation. The pharmacokinetics study showed the brain concentration of drug in the nanoparticles group was much higher than in the control group. To evaluate the effect of P-glycoprotein on brain entry of sitagliptin, the experiment was repeated with verapamil, as a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Brain concentration of the nanoparticles group remained approximately unchanged, proving the "Trojan Horse" effect of the developed nanocarriers. The results are promising for using yeast-cell wall as a carrier for targeted delivery to immune cells for the management of inflammation.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract of every healthy human consists of a unique set of gut microbiota that collectively harbors a diverse and complex community of over 100 trillion microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa and fungi. Gut microbes have a symbiotic relationship with our body. The composition of the microbiota is shaped early in life by gut maturation, which is influenced by several factors. Intestinal bacteria are crucial in maintaining immune and metabolic homeostasis and protecting against pathogens. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is associated not only with intestinal disorders but also with extraintestinal diseases such as metabolic and neurological disorders. In this review, the authors examine different studies that have revealed the possible hypotheses and links in the development of neurological disorders associated with the gut microbiome.

Abstract
Loss-of-function variants of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The mechanism through which TREM2 contributes to the disease (TREM2 activation vs inactivation) is largely unknown. Here, we analyzed changes in a gene set downstream of TREM2 to determine whether TREM2 signaling is modified by AD progression. We generated an anti-human TREM2 agonistic antibody and defined TREM2 activation in terms of the downstream expression changes induced by this antibody in microglia developed from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following TREM2 activation were compared with the gene set extracted from microglial single nuclear RNA sequencing data of patients with AD, using gene set enrichment analysis. We isolated an anti-TREM2-specific agonistic antibody, Hyb87, from anti-human TREM2 antibodies generated using binding and agonism assays, which helped us identify 300 upregulated and 251 downregulated DEGs. Pathway enrichment analysis suggested that TREM2 activation may be associated with Th2-related pathways. TREM2 activation was lower in AD microglia than in microglia from healthy subjects or patients with mild cognitive impairment. TREM2 activation also showed a significant negative correlation with disease progression. Pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs controlled by TREM2 activity indicated that TREM2 activation in AD may lead to anti-apoptotic signaling, immune response, and cytoskeletal changes in the microglia. We showed that TREM2 activation decreases with AD progression, in support of a protective role of TREM2 activation in AD. In addition, the agonistic anti-TREM2 antibody can be used to identify TREM2 activation state in AD microglia.

Neural Regen Res 2021; 16:1928-1934.

Abstract
Microglia, which are tissue-resident macrophages in the brain, play a central role in the brain innate immunity and contribute to the maintenance of brain homeostasis. Lipopolysaccharide is a component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, and activates immune cells including microglia via Toll-like receptor 4 signaling. Lipopolysaccharide is generally known as an endotoxin, as administration of high-dose lipopolysaccharide induces potent systemic inflammation. Also, it has long been recognized that lipopolysaccharide exacerbates neuroinflammation. In contrast, our study revealed that oral administration of lipopolysaccharide ameliorates Alzheimer's disease pathology and suggested that neuroprotective microglia are involved in this phenomenon. Additionally, other recent studies have accumulated evidence demonstrating that controlled immune training with low-dose lipopolysaccharide prevents neuronal damage by transforming the microglia into a neuroprotective phenotype. Therefore, lipopolysaccharide may not a mere inflammatory inducer, but an immunomodulator that can lead to neuroprotective effects in the brain. In this review, we summarized current studies regarding neuroprotective microglia transformed by immune training with lipopolysaccharide. We state that microglia transformed by lipopolysaccharide preconditioning cannot simply be characterized by their general suppression of proinflammatory mediators and general promotion of anti-inflammatory mediators, but instead must be described by their complex profile comprising various molecules related to inflammatory regulation, phagocytosis, neuroprotection, anti-apoptosis, and antioxidation. In addition, microglial transformation seems to depend on the dose of lipopolysaccharide used during immune training. Immune training of neuroprotective microglia using low-dose lipopolysaccharide, especially through oral lipopolysaccharide administration, may represent an innovative prevention or treatment for neurological diseases; however more vigorous studies are still required to properly modulate these treatments.

Abstract
Diabetes‑associated neuronal dysfunction (DAND) is one of the serious complications of diabetes, but there is currently no remedy for it. Streptozotocin [2‑deoxy‑2‑(3‑methy1‑3‑nitrosoureido) D‑glucopyranose; STZ] is one of the most well‑established diabetes inducers and has been used in vivo and in vitro DAND models. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that C8‑B4 microglia transformed by the stimulus of repetitive low‑dose lipopolysaccharide (LPSx3‑microglia) prevent STZ‑induced Neuro‑2a neuronal cell death in vitro. The ELISA results showed that neurotrophin‑4/5 (NT‑4/5) secretion was promoted in LPSx3‑microglia and the cell viability assay with trypan blue staining revealed that the culture supernatant of LPSx3‑microglia prevented STZ‑induced neuronal cell death. In addition, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR showed that neurons treated with the culture supernatant of LPSx3‑microglia promoted the gene expression of B‑cell lymphoma‑extra large and glucose‑dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor. Furthermore, the inhibition of tyrosine kinase receptor B, a receptor of NT‑4/5, suppressed the neuroprotective effect of LPSx3‑microglia. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that LPSx3‑microglia prevent STZ‑induced neuronal death and that NT‑4/5 may be involved in the neuroprotective mechanism of LPSx3‑microglia.

Abstract
Buspirone is an anxiolytic drug with robust serotonin receptor 1A (Htr1a) agonist activities. However, evidence has demonstrated that this drug also targets the dopamine D3 receptor (Drd3), where it acts as a potent antagonist. In vivo, Drd3 blockade is neuroprotective and reduces inflammation in models of Parkinson’s disease. To test if buspirone also elicited anti-inflammatory activities in vitro, we generated stable Drd3−/− and Htr1a−/− BV2 microglial cell lines using CRISPR-Cas9 technology and then tested the effects of buspirone after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. We found that LPS exposure had no effect on cell viability, except in Htr1a−/− cells, where viability was reduced (p < 0.001). Drug treatment reduced viability in Drd3−/− cells, but not in WT or Htr1a−/− cells. Buspirone counteracted LPS-induced NO release, NOS2, IL-1β and TNF-α gene expression in WT cells, whereas it exerted limited effects in Drd3−/− or Htr1a−/− microglia. In summary, our findings indicate that buspirone attenuates microglial polarization after LPS challenge. These results also highlight some major effects of Drd3 or Htr1a genetic ablation on microglial biology, raising important questions on the complex role of neurotransmitters in regulating microglia functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) may contribute to the manifestation of inflammatory pain within structures of the afferent somatosensory system. LPS can induce a state of refractoriness to its own effects termed LPS tolerance. We employed primary neuro-glial cultures from rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the spinal cord, mainly including the substantia gelatinosa to establish and characterize a model of LPS tolerance within these structures. METHODS Tolerance was induced by pre-treatment of both cultures with 1 µg/ml LPS for 18 h, followed by a short-term stimulation with a higher LPS dose (10 µg/ml for 2 h). Cultures treated with solvent were used as controls. Cells from DRG or SDH were investigated by means of RT-PCR (expression of inflammatory genes) and immunocytochemistry (translocation of inflammatory transcription factors into nuclei of cells from both cultures). Supernatants from both cultures were assayed for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by highly sensitive bioassays. RESULTS At the mRNA-level, pre-treatment with 1 µg/ml LPS caused reduced expression of TNF-α and enhanced IL-10/TNF-α expression ratios in both cultures upon subsequent stimulation with 10 µg/ml LPS, i.e. LPS tolerance. SDH cultures further showed reduced release of TNF-α into the supernatants and attenuated TNF-α immunoreactivity in microglial cells. In the state of LPS tolerance macrophages from DRG and microglial cells from SDH showed reduced LPS-induced nuclear translocation of the inflammatory transcription factors NFκB and NF-IL6. Nuclear immunoreactivity of the IL-6-activated transcription factor STAT3 was further reduced in neurons from DRG and astrocytes from SDH in LPS tolerant cultures. CONCLUSION A state of LPS tolerance can be induced in primary cultures from the afferent somatosensory system, which is characterized by a down-regulation of pro-inflammatory mediators. Thus, this model can be applied to study the effects of LPS tolerance at the cellular level, for example possible modifications of neuronal reactivity patterns upon inflammatory stimulation.

Nguyen TH, Turek I, Meehan-Andrews T, Zacharias A, Irving H. Analysis of interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase-3 (IRAK3) function in modulating expression of inflammatory markers in cell culture models: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0244570. [PMID: 33382782 PMCID: PMC7774834 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0244570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND IRAK3 is a critical modulator of inflammation in innate immunity. IRAK3 is associated with many inflammatory diseases, including sepsis, and is required in endotoxin tolerance to maintain homeostasis of inflammation. The impact of IRAK3 on inflammatory markers such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cell culture models remains controversial. OBJECTIVE To analyse temporal effects of IRAK3 on inflammatory markers after one- or two-challenge interventions in cell culture models. METHODS A systematic search was performed to identify in vitro cell studies reporting outcome measures of expression of IRAK3 and inflammatory markers. Meta-analyses were performed where sufficient data were available. Comparisons of outcome measures were performed between different cell lines and human and mouse primary cells. RESULTS The literature search identified 7766 studies for screening. After screening titles, abstracts and full-texts, a total of 89 studies were included in the systematic review. CONCLUSIONS The review identifies significant effects of IRAK3 on decreasing NF-κB DNA binding activity in cell lines, TNF-α protein level at intermediate time intervals (4h-15h) in cell lines or at long term intervals (16h-48h) in mouse primary cells following one-challenge. The patterns of TNF-α protein expression in human cell lines and human primary cells in response to one-challenge are more similar than in mouse primary cells. Meta-analyses confirm a negative correlation between IRAK3 and inflammatory cytokine (IL-6 and TNF-α) expression after two-challenges.

Mizobuchi H, Yamamoto K, Tsutsui S, Yamashita M, Nakata Y, Inagawa H, Kohchi C, Soma GI. A unique hybrid characteristic having both pro- and anti-inflammatory phenotype transformed by repetitive low-dose lipopolysaccharide in C8-B4 microglia. Sci Rep 2020; 10:8945. [PMID: 32488176 PMCID: PMC7265460 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65998-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is regarded as an inducer of inflammation, previous studies have suggested that repetitive low-dose LPS has neuroprotective effects via immunomodulation of microglia, resident macrophages of brain. However, microglia transformed by the stimulus of repetitive low-dose LPS (REPELL-microglia) are not well characterized, whereas microglia transformed by repetitive high-dose LPS are well studied as an endotoxin tolerance model in which the induction of pro-inflammatory molecules is suppressed. In this study, to characterize REPELL-microglia, the gene expression and phagocytic activity of REPELL-microglia were analyzed with the murine C8-B4 microglia cell line. The REPELL-microglia were characterized by a high expression of pro-inflammatory molecules (Nos2, Ccl1, IL-12B, and CD86), anti-inflammatory molecules (IL-10, Arg1, Il13ra2, and Mrc1), and neuroprotective molecules (Ntf5, Ccl7, and Gipr). In addition, the phagocytic activity of REPELL-microglia was promoted as high as that of microglia transformed by single low-dose LPS. These results suggest the potential of REPELL-microglia for inflammatory regulation, neuroprotection, and phagocytic clearance. Moreover, this study revealed that gene expression of REPELL-microglia was distinct from that of microglia transformed by repetitive high-dose LPS treatment, suggesting the diversity of microglia transformation by different doses of LPS.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, affects endotoxin tolerance in macrophages. However, the factors acting on the nod-like receptor 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome and caspase1 activation to impede pyroptosis and resulting in tolerance and survival in sepsis were needed to discovered. Here, we found that signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5a) restrains pyroptosis in Kupffer cells (KCs) and induces endotoxin tolerance (ET) in a sepsis model. The lentiviral knockdown of STAT5a led to enhanced pyroptosis in KCs, increased IL-1β production and decreased IL-10 production via intricate NF-κb signaling regulation. Thus, our findings reveal a novel mechanism of STAT5a-midiated endotoxin tolerance in KCs.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with unknown etiology. Many mechanisms, including dysregulation of neurotransmitters, immune disturbance, and abnormal neurodevelopment, are proposed for the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The significance of communication between intestinal flora and the central nervous system through the gut-brain axis is increasingly being recognized. The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in regulating neurotransmission, immune homeostasis, and brain development. We hypothesize that an imbalance in intestinal flora causes immune activation and dysfunction in the gut-brain axis, contributing to schizophrenia. In this review, we examine recent studies that explore the intestinal flora and immune-mediated neurodevelopment of schizophrenia. We conclude that an imbalance in intestinal flora may reduce protectants and increase neurotoxin and inflammatory mediators, causing neuronal and synaptic damage, which induces schizophrenia.

Upregulated TSG-6 Expression in ADSCs Inhibits the BV2 Microglia-Mediated Inflammatory Response. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:7239181. [PMID: 30584538 PMCID: PMC6280241 DOI: 10.1155/2018/7239181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2018] [Revised: 09/27/2018] [Accepted: 10/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The microglial cells are immune surveillance cells in the central nervous system and can be activated during neurological disorders. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were reported to inhibit the inflammatory response in microglia by secreting proteins like tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein (TSG-6). We aim to explore the mechanisms and the associated microRNAs. Methods ADSCs were cultured and TSG-6 expression was evaluated. ADSCs were cocultured with lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced BV2 microglia and the supernatant was harvested for detecting cytokines. The total RNA was extracted and sequenced by high-throughput sequencing. MicroRNA profiles were compared between two treatment groups of ADSCs. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and confirmation experiments were performed to identify the microRNAs targeting at TSG-6. Results We found that ADSCs could secrete TSG-6 to inhibit the proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), produced by LPS-induced microglia-mediated inflammatory response. Bioinformatics analysis showed a total of 35 microRNAs differentially expressed between the two groups of ADSCs, and miR-214-5p was identified as a regulator of TSG-6 mRNA. Conclusion Following a treatment with TNFα, ADSCs can regulate the inflammatory response in LPS-activated BV2 microglia by upregulating TSG-6 expression, which itself is under the negative control of miR-214-5p.
