Article Abstract
Myelin is crucial for neuron health and central nervous system (CNS) function. Recent research by McNamara highlighted microglia's essential role in compacting the myelin sheath during development and their absence leads to aberrant oligodendrocyte clusters and subsequent cognitive impairment. The study revealed that the critical involvement of the TGFβ1-TGFβR1 axis in microglia-oligodendrocyte communication could influence the oligodendrocyte lipid metabolism and thereby regulate myelin integrity. Further exploration is needed to fully elucidate the dual impact of microglia on myelination, and interactions with other glial cells, holding promise for discovering new targets in myelin-related neurodegenerative and CNS disorders.

Proliferative retinopathy is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in humans; however, the molecular mechanisms behind the immune cell-mediated retinal angiogenesis remain poorly elucidated. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, we identified an enrichment of sorting nexin (SNX)-related pathways, with SNX3, a member of the SNX family that is involved in endosomal sorting and trafficking, being significantly upregulated in the myeloid cell subpopulations of OIR retinas. Immunostaining showed that SNX3 expression is markedly increased in the retinal microglia/macrophages of mice with OIR, which is mainly located within and around the neovascular tufts.

Polar metabolic profiling, as well as bioenergetic assays, were used to characterize microglial responses to lipopolysaccharide, which induces a pro-inflammatory state, and interleukin-4, which is associated with an anti-inflammatory phenotype. BV2 microglial cells and primary microglia were used for these investigations. Results revealed that lipopolysaccharide-treated microglia exhibited an increased aerobic glycolytic activity measured by extracellular flux analysis, accompanied by increased levels of endogenous itaconate, a metabolite produced by the IRG1 enzyme.

Neuroinflammation is a dynamic, context-sensitive process that plays essential roles in brain development, maintenance, and response to injury. It reflects a finely balanced neuroimmune state-facilitating repair and adaptation under homeostatic conditions, while also contributing to dysfunction when dysregulated or chronically activated. In this mini-review, we examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neuroinflammatory responses, focusing on the roles of microglia and astrocytes, their bidirectional communication with neurons, and their interaction with peripheral immune signals.

The proper development of excitatory/inhibitory balance is critical for brain function, as any imbalance has been associated with myriad neuropsychiatric disorders. How this balance evolves during synaptic development remains unclear. To address this question, we examine how manipulations of SIRPα, a cell-adhesion molecule that organizes excitatory synaptic development in the hippocampus, affect inhibitory synaptogenesis to maintain excitatory/inhibitory balance, using mice of either sex.

Chronic alcohol use is a major modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the mechanisms by which it modulates AD pathophysiology remain unclear. Here, we examined circuit-level and pathological changes in two distinct AD mouse models, humanized Aβ knock-in (hAPP-KI) (Aβ-driven) and PS19 (tau-driven), subjected to a chronic intermittent alcohol exposure paradigm. In hAPP-KI mice, alcohol increased Aβ accumulation and excitatory transmission in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) while reducing corticostriatal transmission and striatal cholinergic output.
