Spinal voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 contributes to neuropathic pain via the promotion of microglial M1 polarization and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome

Xiaoman Yuan et al.

Summary: This study found that the Kv1.3 channel contributes to neuropathic pain by promoting microglial M1 polarization and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Microglia and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

John R. Lukens et al.

Summary: Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, are crucial for proper brain maturation and function, and dysfunction in these cells may play a role in neurodevelopmental disorders. Additionally, there is growing interest in how the gut microbiome influences microglial biology.

The potential convergence of NLRP3 inflammasome, potassium, and dopamine mechanisms in Parkinson's disease

Adrianne F. Pike et al.

Summary: This review suggests a hypothesis that Kv1.3 activity-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglia may be counteracted by the utilization of dopamine from adjacent dopaminergic neurons, preventing microglial activation. However, as dopamine supply decreases, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and Kv1.3 activity would intensify, leading to the development of the major pathological features of Parkinson's disease.

Blockade of Kv1.3 Potassium Channel Inhibits Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation in Epilepsy

Xinyi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study discovered the upregulation of Kv1.3 in microglia in a mouse model of epilepsy and demonstrated that blocking Kv1.3 can alleviate seizure severity, prolong seizure latency, and reduce neuronal loss. These findings reveal the critical role of microglial Kv1.3 in epilepsy and provide a potential therapeutic target.

Microglia as Central Protagonists in the Chronic Stress Response

Eva Schramm et al.

Summary: Chronic stress is a major risk factor for psychiatric conditions, and it activates the immune system, alters the phenotype of microglia, and affects the CNS environment.

Minocycline alleviates depression-like symptoms by rescuing decrease in neurogenesis in dorsal hippocampus via blocking microglia activation/phagocytosis

Ben Bassett et al.

Summary: Minocycline shows promising results in alleviating depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic mild stress, potentially by directly acting on microglia to reduce their phagocytic potential and reverse the pathogenic phagocytic potential of neurotoxic M1 microglia. This mechanism may help reduce negative phenotypes associated with reduced neurogenesis caused by exposure to chronic stress.

How microglia sense and regulate neuronal activity

Anthony D. Umpierre et al.

Summary: Microglia are innate immune cells in the central nervous system that sense extracellular cues and exhibit dynamic structural responses in brain injuries, inflammation, and pathology. Their dynamic motility is hypothesized to be crucial for sensing local alterations and engaging in pattern-specific responses, as well as regulating neuronal activity. Emerging in vivo evidence suggests that microglia play a role in monitoring and influencing neuronal activity, with calcium signaling also playing a part in their responses to the extracellular environment in health and disease.

Early-life inflammation promotes depressive symptoms in adolescence via microglial engulfment of dendritic spines

Peng Cao et al.

Summary: Early-life inflammation can increase the risk for depression in later life by affecting the long-term neuronal spine engulfment capacity of microglia. Mouse studies have shown that depressive-like stress can increase microglial engulfment of specific neuronal spines, and inhibiting microglial activity may reduce depressive symptoms.

Dlg1 Knockout Inhibits Microglial Activation and Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Depression-Like Behavior in Mice

Zhixin Peng et al.

Summary: This study unveiled the role of Dlg1 in microglia, showing that knocking down Dlg1 can reduce microglial activation and alleviate LPS-induced depression-like behavior. This discovery provides a new potential therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of depression.

Microglial Calhm2 regulates neuroinflammation and contributes to Alzheimer's disease pathology

Jinbo Cheng et al.

Summary: This study showed that increased expression of Calhm2 in an AD mouse model, and its knockout significantly reduced amyloid beta deposition, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairments. Knockout of Calhm2 inhibited microglial proinflammatory activity but increased phagocytic activity, leading to the restoration of the balance between inflammation and phagocytosis.
