Abstract

The neuroprotective effect of ceria nanoparticles in the context of brain disorders has been explained by their antioxidant effect. However, the in‐depth mechanism remains unknown. As resident immune cells in the brain, microglia exert a variety of functional reprogramming termed as polarization in response to stress stimuli. Herein, custom‐made ceria nanoparticles were developed and found to scavenge multiple reactive oxygen species with extremely high efficiency. These nanoparticles drove microglial polarization from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype under pathological conditions. Pretreatment of these nanoparticles changed the microglial function from detrimental to protective for the neuronal cells by blocking the pro‐inflammatory signaling. This work not only helps to elucidate the mechanism of ceria‐nanoparticle‐mediated neuroprotection but also provides a new strategy to rebalance the immuno‐environment by switching the equilibrium of the phenotypic activation of microglia.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Microglia are classified into M1 (classically activated) cells that secrete proinflammatory cytokines and M2 (alternatively activated) cells that promote tissue regeneration and repair.

    “Microglia are classified into two subtypes: classically activated (M1) cells, which secrete proinflammatory cytokines, and alternatively activated (M2) cells, which promote tissue regeneration and repair [9–12].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
