| Abstract | Background Development of neurodegeneration in older people has been associated with microglial cell activation triggered by systemic infection. We hypothesize that α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) plays an important role in regulation of this process. Methods 8- to 10-week-old male wild-type (WT) and α7nAChR knock-out (α7nAChR−/−) mice were intraperitoneally inoculated with live Escherichia (E.) coli or saline. After inoculation, all mice were treated with ceftriaxone (an antimicrobial drug) at 12 and 24 h and killed at 2 or 3 days. The microglial response was characterized by immunohistochemical staining with an ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) antibody and flow cytometry. To quantify inflammatory response, mRNA expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators was measured in brain and spleen. Results We observed no differences in Iba-1 positive cell number or morphology and flow cytometry (CD11b, CD45 and CD14) of microglial cells between WT and α7nAChR−/− mice after systemic infection. Infected α7nAChR−/− mice showed significantly higher mRNA expression in brain for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) at day 2 and 3, interleukin 6 (IL-6) at day 2 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) at day 3, there was significantly lower mRNA expression in brain for mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) at day 2 and 3, high-mobility group 1 (HMGB-1) and CD11b at day 2, and deubiquitinase protein A20 (A20) at day 3 compared to infected WT mice. Interpretation Loss of function of α7nAChR during systemic infection led to an increased expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in brain after systemic infection with E. coli, but not to distinct differences in microglial cell number or morphological activation of microglia. |

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.
