Abstract	Beyond the key role in reproductive and cognitive functions, estrogens have been shown to protect against neurodegeneration associated with acute and chronic injuries of the adult brain. Current hypotheses reconcile this activity with a direct effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on neurons. Here we demonstrate that brain macrophages are also involved in E2 action on the brain. Systemic administration of hormone prevents, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the activation of microglia and the recruitment of peripheral monocytes induced by intraventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide. This effect occurs by limiting the expression of neuroinflammatory mediators, such as the matrix metalloproteinase 9 and lysosomal enzymes and complement C3 receptor, as well as by preventing morphological changes occurring in microglia during the inflammatory response. By injecting lipopolysaccharide in estrogen receptor (ER)-null mouse brains, we demonstrate that hormone action is mediated by activation of ERα but not of ERβ. The specific role of ERα is further confirmed by comparing the effects of ERs on the matrix metalloproteinase 9 promoter activity in transient transfection assays. Finally, we report that genetic ablation of ERα is associated with a spontaneous reactive phenotype of microglia in specific brain regions of adult ERα-null mice. Altogether, these results reveal a previously undescribed function for E2 in brain and provide a mechanism for its beneficial activity on neuroinflammatory pathologies. They also underline the key role of ERα in brain macrophage reactivity and hint toward the usefulness of ERα-specific drugs in hormone replacement therapy of inflammatory diseases.
