Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) can occur due to excessive activation of microglia in response to the accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). Previously, we demonstrated an increased expression of this peptide in the locus coeruleus (LC) in a sporadic model for AD (streptozotocin, STZ; 2 mg/kg, ICV). We hypothesized that the STZ-AD model exhibits neuroinflammation, and treatment with an inhibitor of microglia (minocycline) can reverse the cognitive, respiratory, sleep, and molecular disorders of this model. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of minocycline treatment in STZ model disorders. METHODS We treated control and STZ-treated rats for five days with minocycline (30 mg/kg, IP) and evaluated cognitive performance, chemoreflex response to hypercapnia and hypoxia, and total sleep time. Additionally, quantification of Aβ, microglia analyses, and relative expression of cytokines in the LC were performed. RESULTS Minocycline treatment improved learning and memory, which was concomitant with a decrease in microglial cell density and re-establishment of morphological changes induced by STZ in the LC region. Minocycline did not reverse the STZ-induced increase in CO2 sensitivity during wakefulness. However, it restored the daytime sleep-wake cycle in STZ-treated animals to the same levels as those observed in control animals. In the LC, levels of A and expression of Il10, Il1b, and Mcp1 mRNA remained unaffected by minocycline, but we found a strong trend of minocycline effect on Tnf- α. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that minocycline effectively reduces microglial recruitment and the inflammatory morphological profile in the LC, while it recovers cognitive performance and restores the sleep-wake pattern impaired by STZ.

Abstract
Severe hypoxia induces seizures, which reduces ventilation and worsens the ictal state. It is a health threat to patients, particularly those with underlying hypoxic respiratory pathologies, which may be conducive to a sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Recent studies provide evidence that brain microglia are involved with both respiratory and ictal processes. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that microglia could interact with hypoxia-induced seizures. To this end, we recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) and acute ventilatory responses to hypoxia (5% O2 in N2) in conscious, spontaneously breathing adult mice. We compared control vehicle pre-treated animals with those pre-treated with minocycline, an inhibitory modulator of microglial activation. First, we histologically confirmed that hypoxia activates microglia and that pre-treatment with minocycline blocks hypoxia-induced microglial activation. Then, we analyzed the effects of minocycline pre-treatment on ventilatory responses to hypoxia by plethysmography. Minocycline alone failed to affect respiratory variables in room air or the initial respiratory augmentation in hypoxia. The comparative results showed that hypoxia caused seizures, which were accompanied by the late phase ventilatory suppression in all but one minocycline pre-treated mouse. Compared to the vehicle pre-treated, the minocycline pre-treated mice showed a delayed occurrence of seizures. Further, minocycline pre-treated mice tended to resist post-ictal respiratory arrest. These results suggest that microglia are conducive to seizure activity in severe hypoxia. Thus, inhibition of microglial activation may help suppress or prevent hypoxia-induced ictal episodes.

Abstract
Microglia modulate cardiorespiratory activities during chronic hypoxia. It has not been clarified whether microglia are involved in the cardiorespiratory responses to acute hypoxia. Here we investigated this issue by comparing cardiorespiratory responses to two levels of acute hypoxia (13% O2 for 4 min and 7% O2 for 5 min) in conscious unrestrained rats before and after systemic injection of minocycline (MINO), an inhibitor of microglia activation. MINO increased blood pressure but not lung ventilation in the control normoxic condition. Acute hypoxia stimulated cardiorespiratory responses in MINO-untreated rats. MINO failed to significantly affect the magnitude of hypoxia-induced blood pressure elevation. In contrast, MINO tended to suppress the ventilatory responses to hypoxia. We conclude that microglia differentially affect cardiorespiratory regulation depending on the level of blood oxygenation. Microglia suppressively contribute to blood pressure regulation in normoxia but help maintain ventilatory augmentation in hypoxia, which underscores the dichotomy of central regulatory pathways for both systems.

Abstract
Abstract
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the coordination of several physiological functions including sleep/wake process. Significant changes in ANS activity occur during wake-to-sleep transition maintaining the adequate cardiorespiratory regulation and brain activity. Since sleep is a complex homeostatic function, partly regulated by the ANS, it is not surprising that sleep disruption trigger and/or evidence symptoms of ANS impairment. Indeed, several studies suggest a bidirectional relationship between impaired ANS function (i.e. enhanced sympathetic drive), and the emergence/development of sleep disorders. Furthermore, several epidemiological studies described a strong association between sympathetic-mediated diseases and the development and maintenance of sleep disorders resulting in a vicious cycle with adverse outcomes and increased mortality risk. However, which and how the sleep/wake control and ANS circuitry becomes affected during the progression of ANS-related diseases remains poorly understood. Thus, understanding the physiological mechanisms underpinning sleep/wake-dependent sympathetic modulation could provide insights into diseases involving autonomic dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to explore potential neural mechanisms involved in both the onset/maintenance of sympathetic-mediated diseases (Rett syndrome, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, obstructive sleep apnoea, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart failure, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases) and their plausible contribution to the generation of sleep disorders in order to review evidence that may serve to establish a causal link between sleep disorders and heightened sympathetic activity.

Mouse Microglial Calcitonin Receptor Knockout Impairs Hypothalamic Amylin Neuronal pSTAT3 Signaling but Lacks Major Metabolic Consequences. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12010051.

Abstract
Amylin and leptin synergistically interact in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) to control energy homeostasis. Our previous rodent studies suggested that amylin-induced interleukin-6 release from hypothalamic microglia may modulate leptin signaling in agouti-related peptide expressing neurons. To confirm the physiological relevance of this finding, the calcitonin receptor (CTR) subunit of the amylin receptor was selectively depleted in microglia by crossing tamoxifen (Tx) inducible Cx3cr1-CreERT2 mice with CTR-floxed mice. Unexpectedly, male mice with CTR-depleted microglia (KO) gained the least amount of weight of all groups regardless of diet. However, after correcting for the tamoxifen effect, there was no significant difference for body weight, fat mass or lean mass between genotypes. No alteration in glucose tolerance or insulin release was detected. However, male KO mice had a reduced respiratory quotient suggesting a preference for fat as a fuel when fed a high fat diet. Importantly, amylin-induced pSTAT3 was decreased in the ARC of KO mice but this was not reflected in a reduced anorectic response. On the other hand, KO mice seemed to be less responsive to leptin’s anorectic effect while displaying similar ARC pSTAT3 as Tx-control mice. Together, these data suggest that microglial amylin signaling is not a major player in the control of energy homeostasis in mice.

Perinatal inflammation and gestational intermittent hypoxia disturbs respiratory rhythm generation and long-term facilitation in vitro: partial protection by acute minocycline. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2021; 297:103829.

Abstract
Perinatal inflammation triggers breathing disturbances early in life and affects the respiratory adaptations to challenging conditions, including the generation of amplitude long-term facilitation (LTF) by acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). Some of these effects can be avoided by anti-inflammatory treatments like minocycline. Since little is known about the effects of perinatal inflammation on the inspiratory rhythm generator, located in the preBötzinger complex (preBötC), we tested the impact of acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS) systemic administration (sLPS), as well as gestational LPS (gLPS) and gestational chronic IH (gCIH), on respiratory rhythm generation and its long-term response to AIH in a brainstem slice preparation from neonatal mice. We also evaluated whether acute minocycline administration could influence these effects. We found that perinatal inflammation induced by sLPS or gLPS, as well as gCIH, modulate the frequency, signal-to-noise ratio and/or amplitude (and their regularity) of the respiratory rhythm recorded from the preBötC in the brainstem slice. Moreover, all these perinatal conditions inhibited frequency LTF and amplitude long-term depression (LTD); gCIH even induced frequency LTD of the respiratory rhythm after AIH. Some of the alterations were not observed in slices pre-treated in vitro with minocycline, when compared with slices obtained from naïve pups, suggesting that ongoing inflammatory conditions affect respiratory rhythm generation and its plasticity. Thus, it is likely that alterations in the inspiratory rhythm generator and its adaptive responses could contribute to the respiratory disturbances observed in neonates that suffered from perinatal inflammatory challenges.

Abstract
Purpose Cadmium is a heavy metal and environmental toxicant known to act on the central cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms, and one of its brain targets is the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), a brainstem site that maintains blood pressure and sympathetic vasomotor tone. The present study assessed the hypothesis that cadmium elicits cardiovascular dysregulation by inducing neuroinflammation and microglial activation, two potential cellular mechanisms, in RVLM. Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for measuring cardiovascular responses after intravenous administration of cadmium. We further conducted real-time PCR, immunofluorescence staining, in situ determination of mitochondrial superoxide, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to identify cytokine and chemokine mRNA expression, microglia activation, superoxide production, and necrotic and apoptotic cell death in RVLM. Results We found animals maintained under propofol anesthesia, intravenous administration of cadmium acetate (4 mg/kg) resulted in an increase, followed by a rebound and a secondary decrease in spontaneous baroreflex-mediated sympathetic vasomotor tone, a progressive reduction in mean arterial pressure and heart rate, alongside augmentation of pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine in RVLM. All those cardiovascular and neuroinflammatory events were reversed by pretreatment with an anti-inflammatory drug, pentoxifylline (50 mg/kg, i.p.). There were also concurrent microglial activation, reactive oxygen species production, hypoxia, reduced blood flow, and necrotic and apoptotic cell death in RVLM. Conclusion Based on these biochemical, pharmacological and morphological observations, we conclude that neuroinflammation and microglial activation at RVLM, and their downstream cellular mechanisms, causally underpin cadmium-induced cardiovascular dysregulation.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) is a hallmark of modern society and associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying SD-associated depression and anxiety remain elusive. Does the neuroinflammation play a role in mediating the effects of SD? In this study, we investigated SD-induced cellular and molecular alterations in the hippocampus and asked whether treatment with an anti-inflammatory drug, minocycline, could attenuate these alterations. We found that SD animals exhibit activated microglia and decreased levels of Keap1 and Nrf2 (antioxidant and anti-inflammatory factors) in the hippocampus. In vivo local field potential recordings show decreased theta and beta oscillations, but increased high gamma oscillations, as a result of SD. Behavioral analysis revealed increased immobility time in the forced swim and tail suspension tests, and decreased sucrose intake in SD mice, all indicative of depressive-like behavior. Moreover, open field test and elevated plus maze test results indicated that SD increases anxiety-like behavior. Interestingly, treatment with the microglial modulator minocycline prevented SD-induced microglial activation, restored Keap1 and Nrf2 levels, normalized neuronal oscillations, and alleviated depressive-like and anxiety-like behavior. The present study reveals that microglial activation and Keap1-Nrf2 signaling play a crucial role in SD-induced behavioral alteration, and that minocycline treatment has a protective effect on these alterations.

Abstract
Background: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is one of the important reasons for the high mortality and morbidity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). We aim to explore the role of the neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pathogenesis of sympathetic hyperexcitability after TBI and the underlying mechanisms, providing evidence for clinical treatment. Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assess the plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine levels which represented the variation of the sympathetic system after TBI with rat diffuse axonal injury (DAI) model. NETs in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and circulating blood were examined using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Neutrophils-microglia co-culture system was established to further explore the effect of NETs on PSH and its mechanisms. Results: After TBI, metanephrine and normetanephrine levels began to increase at 9 h and peaked at 72 h. After the injury, the level of NETs kept increasing at 24 and 72 h in the PVN. A positive correlation was found between the concentration of the PVN NETs and blood catecholamine. Flow cytometry of peripheral blood cells revealed that NETs level in the injury group was higher than that in the control group. Immunofluorescence results confirmed the presence of NETs in the PVN after TBI. The positive result of immunoprecipitation suggested a correlation effect between LL37 and P2 × 7. Peptidyl arginine deiminase-4 (PAD4) inhibitor could inhibit the expression levels of MST1, YAP, and IL-1β. The hippo/MST1 pathway inhibitor could inhibit the expression levels of YAP and IL-1β. Conclusion: NETs formation in the PVN might be associated with sympathetic hyperactivity after TBI, which might relate to the activation of microglia cells and increased secretion of IL-1β via the hippo/MST1 pathway.

Abstract
The neural network that regulates breathing shows a significant sexual dimorphism. Ovarian hormones contribute to this distinction as, in rats, ovariectomy reduces the ventilatory response to CO2. Microglia are neuroimmune cells that are sensitive to neuroendocrine changes in their environment. When reacting to challenging conditions, these cells show changes in their morphology that reflect an augmented capacity for producing pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Based on evidence suggesting that microglia contribute to sex-based differences in reflexive responses to hypercapnia, we hypothesized that ovariectomy and hypercapnia promote microglial reactivity in selected brain areas that regulate breathing. We used ionized calcium-binding-adapter molecule-1 (Iba1) immunolabeling to compare the density and morphology of microglia in the locus coeruleus (LC), the caudal medullary raphe, the caudal part of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (cNTS), and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN). Tissue was obtained from SHAM (metaestrus) female rats or following ovariectomy. Rats were exposed to normocapnia or hypercapnia (5% CO2, 20 min). Ovariectomy and hypercapnia did not affect microglial density in any of the structures studied. Ovariectomy promoted a reactive phenotype in the cNTS and LC, as indicated by a larger morphological index. In these structures, hypercapnia had a relatively modest opposing effect; the medullary raphe or the PVN were not affected. We conclude that ovarian hormones attenuate microglial reactivity in CO2/H+ sensing structures. These data suggest that microglia may contribute to neurological diseases in which anomalies of respiratory control are associated with cyclic fluctuations of ovarian hormones or menopause.

Non-neuronal crosstalk promotes an inflammatory response in nodose ganglia cultures after exposure to byproducts from gram positive, high-fat-diet-associated gut bacteria. Physiol Behav 2020; 226:113124. [PMID: 32763334 PMCID: PMC7530053 DOI: 10.1016/j.physbeh.2020.113124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2019] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Vagal afferent neurons (VAN) projecting to the lamina propria of the digestive tract are the primary source of gut-originating signals to the central nervous system (CNS). VAN cell bodies are found in the nodose ganglia (NG). Responsiveness of VAN to gut-originating signals is altered by feeding status with sensitivity to satiety signals such as cholecystokinin (CCK) increasing in the fed state. Chronic high-fat (HF) feeding results in inflammation at the level of the NG associated with a loss of VAN ability to switch phenotype from the fasted to the fed state. HF feeding also leads to compositional changes in the gut microbiota. HF diet consumption notably drives increased Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes phyla ratio and increased members of the Actinobacteria phylum. Firmicutes and Actinobacteria are largely gram positive (GP). In this study, we aimed to determine if byproducts from GP bacteria can induce an inflammatory response in cultured NG and to characterize the mechanism and cell types involved in the response. NG were collected from male Wistar rats and cultured for a total of 72 hours. At 48-68 hours after plating, cultures were treated with neuronal culture media in which Serinicoccus chungangensis had been grown and removed (SUP), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), or meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP). Some treatments included the glial inhibitors minocycline (MINO) and/or fluorocitrate (FC). The responses were evaluated using immunocytochemistry, qPCR, and electrochemiluminescence. We found that SUP induced an inflammatory response characterized by increased interleukin (IL)-6 staining and increased expression of genes for IL-6, interferon (IFN)γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α along with genes associated with cell-to-cell communication such as C-C motif chemokine ligand-2 (CCL2). Inclusion of inhibitors attenuated some responses but failed to completely normalize all indications of response, highlighting the role of immunocompetent cellular crosstalk in regulating the inflammatory response. LTA and meso-DAP produced responses that shared characteristics with SUP but were not identical. Our results support a role for HF associated GP bacterial byproducts' ability to contribute to vagal inflammation and to engage signaling from nonneuronal cells.

Abstract
KEY POINTS The mechanisms involved in hypothermia and fever during systemic inflammation (SI) remain largely unknown. Our data support the contention that brain-mediated mechanisms are different in hypertension during SI. Considering that, clinically, it is not easy to assess all mechanisms involved in cardiovascular and thermoregulatory control during SI, the present study sheds light on these integrated mechanisms that may be triggered simultaneously in septic hypertensive patients. The result obtained demonstrate that, in lipopolysaccharide-induced SI, an increased hypothermia is observed in neurogenic hypertension, which is caused by reduced hypothalamic prostaglandin E2 production and increased heat loss in conscious rats. Therefore, the results of the present study provide useful insight for clinical trials evaluating the thermoregulatory outcomes of septic patients with hypertension. ABSTRACT Hypertension is a prevalent disease characterized by autonomic-induced elevated and sustained blood pressure levels and abnormal body core temperature (Tb) regulation. The present study aimed to determine the brain-mediated mechanisms involved in the thermoregulatory changes observed during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation (SI; at a septic-like model) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We combined Tb and skin temperature (Tsk) analysis, assessment of prostaglandin (PG) E2 levels (the proximal mediator of fever) in the anteroventral region of the hypothalamus (AVPO; an important site for Tb control), oxygen consumption analysis, cardiovascular recordings, assays of inflammatory markers, and evaluation of oxidative stress in the plasma and brain of male Wistar rats and SHR that had received LPS (1.5 mg kg-1 ) or saline. LPS induced hypothermia followed by fever in Wistar rats, whereas, in SHR, a maintained hypothermia without fever were observed. These thermoregulatory responses were associated with an increased heat loss in SHR compared to Wistar rats. We measured LPS-induced increased PGE2 levels in the AVPO in Wistar rats, but not in SHR. The LPS-induced drop in blood pressure was higher in SHR than in Wistar rats. Furthermore, LPS-induced plasma and brain [regions involved in autonomic control: nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM)] cytokine surges were blunted, whereas oxidative stress was higher in SHR. LPS-induced SI leads to blunted cytokine surges both systemically (plasma) and centrally (NTS and RVLM) and reduced hypothalamic PGE2 production, which are all associated with increased hypothermia mediated by increased heat loss, but not by heat production, in SHR.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a unique cytokine that can play both pro- and anti-inflammatory roles depending on the anatomical site and conditions under which it has been induced. Specific neurons of the hypothalamus provide important signals to control food intake and energy expenditure. In individuals with obesity, a microglia-dependent inflammatory response damages the neural circuits responsible for maintaining whole-body energy homeostasis, resulting in a positive energy balance. However, little is known about the role of IL-6 in the regulation of hypothalamic microglia. In this systematic review, we asked what types of conditions and stimuli could modulate microglial IL-6 expression in murine model. We searched the PubMed and Web of Science databases and analyzed 13 articles that evaluated diverse contexts and study models focused on IL-6 expression and microglia activation, including the effects of stress, hypoxia, infection, neonatal overfeeding and nicotine exposure, lipopolysaccharide stimulus, hormones, exercise protocols, and aging. The results presented in this review emphasized the role of "injury-like" stimuli, under which IL-6 acts as a proinflammatory cytokine, concomitant with marked microglial activation, which drive hypothalamic neuroinflammation. Emerging evidence indicates an important correlation of basal IL-6 levels and microglial function with the maintenance of hypothalamic homeostasis. Advances in our understanding of these different contexts will lead to the development of more specific pharmacological approaches for the management of acute and chronic conditions, like obesity and metabolic diseases, without disturbing the homeostatic functions of IL-6 and microglia in the hypothalamus.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Rats subjected to sustained hypoxia (SH) present increases in arterial pressure (AP) and in glutamatergic transmission in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) neurons sending projections to ventrolateral medulla (VLM). Treatment with minocycline, a microglial inhibitor, attenuated the increase in AP in response to SH. The increase in the amplitude of glutamatergic postsynaptic currents in the NTS-VLM neurons, induced by postsynaptic mechanisms, was blunted by minocycline treatment. The number of microglial cells was increased in the NTS of vehicle-treated SH rats but not in the NTS of minocycline-treated rats. The data show that microglial recruitment/proliferation induced by SH is associated with the enhancement of excitatory neurotransmission in NTS-VLM neurons, which may contribute to the observed increase in AP. ABSTRACT Short-term sustained hypoxia (SH) produces significant autonomic and respiratory adjustments and triggers activation of microglia, the resident immune cells in the brain. SH also enhances glutamatergic neurotransmission in the NTS. Here we evaluated the role of microglial activation induced by SH on the cardiovascular changes and mainly on glutamatergic neurotransmission in NTS neurons sending projections to the ventrolateral medulla (NTS-VLM), using a microglia inhibitor (minocycline). Direct measurement of arterial pressure (AP) in freely moving rats showed that SH (24 h, fraction of inspired oxygen ( F I , O 2 ) 0.1) in vehicle and minocycline (30 mg/kg i.p. for 3 days)-treated groups produced a significant increase in AP in relation to control groups under normoxic conditions, but this increase was significantly lower in minocycline-treated rats. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that the active properties of the membrane were comparable among the groups. Nevertheless, the amplitudes of glutamatergic postsynaptic currents, evoked by tractus solitarius stimulation, were increased in NTS-VLM neurons of SH rats. Changes in asynchronous glutamatergic currents indicated that the observed increase in amplitude was due to postsynaptic mechanisms. These changes were blunted in the SH group previously treated with minocycline. Using immunofluorescence, we found that the number of microglial cells was increased in the NTS of vehicle-treated SH rats but not in the NTS neurons of minocycline-treated rats. Our data support the concept that microglial activation induced by SH is associated with the enhancement of excitatory neurotransmission in NTS-VLM neurons, which may contribute to the increase in AP observed in this experimental model.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is produced by local or systemic alterations and mediated mainly by glia, affecting the activity of various neural circuits including those involved in breathing rhythm generation and control. Several pathological conditions, such as sudden infant death syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea and asthma exert an inflammatory influence on breathing-related circuits. Consequently breathing (both resting and ventilatory responses to physiological challenges), is affected; e.g., responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia are compromised. Moreover, inflammation can induce long-lasting changes in breathing and affect adaptive plasticity; e.g., hypoxic acclimatization or long-term facilitation. Mediators of the influences of inflammation on breathing are most likely proinflammatory molecules such as cytokines and prostaglandins. The focus of this review is to summarize the available information concerning the modulation of the breathing function by inflammation and the cellular and molecular aspects of this process. I will consider: 1) some clinical and experimental conditions in which inflammation influences breathing; 2) the variety of experimental approaches used to understand this inflammatory modulation; 3) the likely cellular and molecular mechanisms.
