Chlorogenic acid inhibits LPS-induced microglial activation and improves survival of dopaminergic neurons
Roles of Glia‐Derived Cytokines on Neuronal Degeneration and Regeneration
TLDR
Observations suggest that glial cell–derived cytokines may synergistically function in neuronal degeneration with other toxic factors produced by activated microglia, and that some of them may also function in regeneration by inducing neurotrophic factors.
Interferon-γ-dependent cytotoxic activation of human astrocytes and astrocytoma cells
Phenotypic Polarization of Activated Astrocytes: The Critical Role of Lipocalin-2 in the Classical Inflammatory Activation of Astrocytes
TLDR
The results suggest that the secreted proteinLCN2 is an autocrine modulator of the functional polarization of astrocytes in the presence of immune or inflammatory stimuli and that LCN2 could be targeted therapeutically to dampen proinflammatory astroCytic activation and related pathologies in the CNS.
The neurotoxic effect of astrocytes activated with toll-like receptor ligands
The Effect of Erythropoietin on Neurotrophic Factors in N9 Murine Microglial Cells
TLDR
NT4 secretion, which was markedly induced by exposure to both AMYb and EPO in N9 murine microglias, may be an important result for neuronal survival, suggest that inflammatory mechanisms in microglia may also involve the neuroprotective response of these cells; this may be a promising area of study of neurodegenerative processes.
A primary neural cell culture model to study neuron, astrocyte, and microglia interactions in neuroinflammation
TLDR
The tri-culture consisting of neurons, astrocytes, and microglia more faithfully mimics in vivo neuroinflammatory responses than standard mono- and co-cultures and played a significant neuroprotective role during glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.
Cytochrome c can be released into extracellular space and modulate functions of human astrocytes in a toll-like receptor 4-dependent manner.
Resveratrol promotes neurotrophic factor release from astroglia
TLDR
Overall, resveratrol is effective in promoting astroglia-derived neurotrophic factor release, and this effect is mediated, at least in part, by the activation of ERK1/2 and CREB.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that LT possesses potent cytotoxic activity against oligodendrocytes and that the major mechanism involved in this process is DNA fragmentation.

Macrophage colony stimulatory factor and interferon‐γ trigger distinct mechanisms for augmentation of β‐amyloid‐induced microglia‐mediated neurotoxicity
TLDR
It is reported here that while both MCSF and IFNγ induce microglial‐mediated fAβ neurotoxicity, their mechanisms of toxicity differ and the neurotoxicity resulting from ROS release by fA β/MCSF coactivated microglia may be a more appropriate model for assessingfAβ‐induced microglian‐mediated neuropathology in AD.
Transforming growth factor-beta suppresses activation and proliferation of microglia in vitro.
TLDR
It is suggested that TGF-beta could be a negative regulator in the CNS cytokine network by inhibiting the function of microglia in inflammation or in immunoregulation.
Activation of microglial cells by β-amyloid protein and interferon-γ
TLDR
It is suggested that Aβ and IFN-γ activate microglia to produce reactive nitrogen intermediates and TNF-α, and this may have a role in the pathogenesis of neuronal degeneration observed in ageing and Alzheimer's disease.
