Background Microglia are considered the “resident macrophages” of the brain. When in their resting state, microglia perform routine maintenance and immune surveillance. Once activated, either by injury or an immune stimulus, microglia secrete a variety of pro-inflammatory molecules, such as Nitric Oxide, superoxide, and inflammatory cytokines. Up-regulation of pro-inflammatory molecules is transient,...
Exposure to pathogens induces dendritic cells to release inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The inflammatory response is controlled by endogenous agents such as anti-inflammatory cytokines, glucocorticoids, anti-inflammatory neuropeptides, and lipid mediators. This study is the first report on the inhibition by prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2 ) of TNF release from bone marrow-derived dendritic...
