Inhibition of NADPH oxidase promotes alternative and anti‐inflammatory microglial activation during neuroinflammation

Abstract: Like macrophages, microglia are functionally polarized into different phenotypic activation states, referred as classical and alternative. The balance of the two phenotypes may be critical to ensure proper brain homeostasis, and may be altered in brain pathological states, such as Alzheimer’s disease. We investigated the role of NADPH oxidase in microglial activation state using p47phox and gp91phox-deficient mice as well as apocynin, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor during neuroinflammation induced by an intracerebr… Show more

“…Another possible contributing factor could arise through an absence of NOX2-mediated signaling, which may polarize macrophages toward a protective M2 (alternatively activated) phenotype. Specifically, there are two reports of a deficiency in p47 phox (Ncf) potentiating an M2-like phenotype in peritoneal macrophages or microglia in response to Listeria monocytogenes or LPS, respectively (61,62). Interestingly, macrophages deficient in gp91 phox (Cybb 2/2 ) did not show the same propensity for M2 polarization (61).…”

“…To further interrogate the ability of NOX2 to alter processing patterns of a single Ag, we measured the efficiency of WT and Cybb 2/2 BMMfs to process four distinct HEL epitopes (HEL [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] , HEL [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] , HEL [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] , and HEL 74-90 ) from whole HEL protein and present them to epitope-specific CD4 + T cell hybridomas (Hb1.9, H30.44, H46.13, and B04, respectively) (26). To achieve this, T cell hybridomas...…”

“…NOX2 protein expression in six human PD midbrains was increased twofold in comparison to age-matched control brains, pointing to human relevance of the mouse model. Other NOX enzymes may also contribute to PD under some conditions or model systems; for example, similar approaches implicate neuronal NOX1 in PD pathogenesis in the rat 6-hydroxydopamine PD model (46) and rat paraquat PD model (51). Therefore, NOX2 and perhaps other NOX isoforms are attractive targets for slowing the progression of PD.…”

“…N-acetylcysteine has been shown to have anti-inlammatory and antioxidant actions, increasing glutathione synthesis to scavenge ROS, decreasing IL-1β and TNF-α levels in brain injury, decreasing caspase-3 levels, and shifting microglia towards M2 anti-inlammatory phenotypes [268][269][270][271].…”
