| Abstract | Pro-inflammatory molecules induce glial activation and the release of potentially detrimental factors capable of generating oxidative damage, such as nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O$_{2}$ $^{·−}$. Activated glial cells (astrocytes and microglia) are associated to the inflammatory process in neurodegenerative diseases. A strong inflammatory response could escape endogenous control becoming toxic to neurons and contributing to the course of the disease. We evaluated in a hippocampal cells-microglia co-culture model, if the pro-inflammatory condition induced by lipopolysaccharide + interferon-γ (LPS+IFN-γ) promoted damage directly or if damage was secondary to glial activation. In addition, we explored the effect of the anti-inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on the regulation of the inflammatory response of microglia. We found that LPS+IFN-γ-induced damage on hippocampal cultures was dependent on the presence of microglial cells. In hippocampal cultures exposed to LPS+IFN-γ, TGF-β1 was induced whereas in microglial cell cultures LPS+IFN-γ induced the secretion of IL-1β. TGF-β1 and IL-1β but not TNF-α decreased the NO production by 70–90%. PD98059, an inhibitor of MAP kinase (MEK), reduced the IFN-γ-induced NO production by 40%. TGF-β1 and IL-1β reduced the IFN-γ-induced phosphorylation of ERK1,2 by 60% and 40%, respectively. However, the effect of IL-1β was observed at 30 min and that of TGF-β1 only after 24 h of exposure. We propose that acting with different timing, TGF-β1 and IL-1β can modulate the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK1,2, as a common element for different transduction pathways, regulating the amplitude and duration of glial activation in response to LPS+IFN-γ. Cross-talk among brain cells may be key for the understanding of inflammatory mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
