The Secretome of Microglia Regulate Neural Stem Cell Function.
Neuroscience 2017 November 2
Brain injury is associated with neuroinflammation, and microglia are key players in this process. Microglia can acquire pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory properties, but how this affects neural stem cells (NSCs) remains controversial. Here, NSCs were grown in conditioned media collected from either non-stimulated microglia, or microglia stimulated with pro- or anti-inflammatory agents. NSC survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation were investigated thereafter. We found that NSCs kept in conditioned medium from the anti-inflammatory microglial subtype had better survival, increased migration, and lower astrocytic differentiation compared to NSCs grown in conditioned medium collected from the pro-inflammatory subtype. Finally, we found that NSCs differentiated in microglial conditioned media generated cells expressing the pro-inflammatory chemokine CCL2, most pronounced when differentiated in medium from the pro-inflammatory microglia subtype. Our results show that microglial subtypes regulate NSCs differently and induce generation of cells with inflammatory properties.
