“…Increasing research focused on astrocytes should discover humoral factors that are responsible for neuron-glia interactions. It has been reported that thousands of proteins are released from astrocytes in the presence of cholinergic agonist, proinflammatory cytokines, angiogenin, -amyloid peptide 1-42 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Delcourt et al, 2005;Keene et al, 2009;Lafon-Cazal et al, 2003;Lai et al, 2013;Moore et al, 2009;Skorupa et al, 2013). In the present study, we focused on alterations in the levels of proteins released from astrocytes after innate immune activation by treatment with polyI:C, as we have reported that polyI:C impairs the dendritic elongation of hippocampal neurons through astrocyte-derived humoral factors (Ibi et al, 2013).…”
