MCP-1-mediated activation of microglia promotes white matter lesions and cognitive deficits by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in mice.
Molecular and Cellular Neurosciences 2017 January
Microglia activation played a vital role in the pathogenesis of white matter lesions (WMLs) by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. In addition, hypoxia induced up-regulated expression of MCP-1, promotes the activation of microglia. However, the role of MCP-1-mediated microglia activation in chronic cerebral ischemia is still unknown. To explore that, chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model was established by permanent stenosis of bilateral common carotid artery in mice. The activation of microglia and the related signal pathway p38MAPK/PKC in white matter, and working memory of mice were observed. We found that stenosis of common carotid arteries could induce MCP-1-mediated activation of microglia through p38MAPK/PKC pathway and white matter lesions. Taken together, our findings represent a novel mechanism of MCP-1 involved in activation of microglia and provide a novel therapeutical strategy for chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.
