ATP-P2X7 signaling mediates brain pathology while contributing to viral control in perinatal Zika virus infection
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Mar 7:S0889-1591(24)00278-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.02.035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTZika virus (ZIKV), the causative agent of Zika fever, is a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. Zika virus infection has become an international concern due to its association with severe neurological complications such as fetal microcephaly. Viral infection can induce the release of ATP in the extracellular environment, activating receptors sensitized by extracellular nucleotides, such as the P2X7 receptor. This receptor is the primary purinergic receptor involved in neuroinflammation, neu...

Depletion of complement factor 3 delays the neuroinflammatory response to intracortical microelectrodes
In this study, we investigated the role of C3 in the IME inflammatory response by comparing the neuroinflammatory gene expression at the microelectrode implant site between C3 knockout (C3-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. We have found that, like in WT mice, implantation of intracortical microelectrodes in C3-/- mice yields a dramatic increase in the neuroinflammatory gene expression at all post-surgery time points investigated. However, compared to WT mice, C3 depletion showed reduced expression of many neuroinflammatory genes pre-surgery and 4 weeks post-surgery. Conversely, depletion of C3 increased the expression of many n...

Long-access heroin self-administration induces region specific reduction of grey matter volume and microglia reactivity in the rat
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Mar 5:S0889-1591(24)00283-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.03.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn opioid use disorder (OUD) patients, a decrease in brain grey matter volume (GMV) has been reported. It is unclear whether this is the consequence of prolonged exposure to opioids or is a predisposing causal factor in OUD development. To investigate this, we conducted a structural MRI longitudinal study in NIH Heterogeneous Stock rats exposed to heroin self-administration and age-matched naïve controls housed in the same controlled environment. Structural MRI scans were acquired before (MRI1) and after (MRI...

Compartmentalized role of xCT in supporting pancreatic tumor growth, inflammation and mood disturbance in mice
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Mar 4:S0889-1591(24)00281-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTxCT (Slc7a11), the specific subunit of the cystine/glutamate antiporter, is present in the brain and on immune cells, where it is known to modulate behavior and inflammatory responses. In a variety of cancers -including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)-, xCT is upregulated by tumor cells to support their growth and spread. Therefore, we studied the impact of xCT deletion in pancreatic tumor cells (Panc02) and/or the host (xCT-/- mice) on tumor burden, inflammation, cachexia and mood disturbances. Deleti...
