Abstract：
:The cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) is mainly produced in response to bacterial or parasitic infections. We examined the capacity of mouse brain microglia to release IL-12 forms upon challenge with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and studied its modulation by sympathomimetics. LPS evoked the release of IL-12p40 whereas the heterodimeric form, IL-12p70 was virtually undetectable. Sympathomimetics such as salbutamol dose-dependently inhibited IL-12p40 release, whereas the production of IL-6, TNFalpha and MIP-1alpha was only marginally influenced. The inhibitory effect of salbutamol could be abolished by beta-antagonists, such as oxprenolol. The cAMP-elevating agent forskolin could mimic the effects of beta-agonists, indicating that IL-12p40 release inhibition involves intracellular cAMP accumulation. While microglial IL-12p40 may play a role in the regulation of IL-12p70 bioactivity, microglial release is itself modulated by IL-12p70. Recombinant IL-12p70 was found to enhance the LPS-evoked release of MIP-1alpha and to have a biphasic effect on both TNFalpha and MIP-1alpha with release augmentation at lower and attenuation at higher doses. Finally, no functional correlation was found between the release of IL-12p40 and the induction of Kv1.3 potassium channels, another marker of microglial activation. Taken together, beta(2)-adrenoreceptor-mediated effects on microglial cyto- and chemokine release via cAMP accumulation could modulate inflammatory cascades during bacterial infections.

BRAIN RESEARCH文献大全abstract：:Autism is marked by overgrowth of the brain at the earliest ages but not at older ages when decreases in structural volumes and neuron numbers are observed instead. This has led to the theory of age-specific anatomic abnormalities in autism. Here we report age-related changes in brain size in autistic and typical subj...
