mRNA up-regulation of MHC II and pivotal pro-inflammatory genes in normal brain aging
Abstract
In normal brain aging, CNS resident macrophages exhibit increased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II expression. However, the transcriptional basis for this observation has not been clarified nor have age-related alterations in pivotal pro-inflammatory genes been characterized. Age-related mRNA alterations in MHC II, MHC II accessory molecules and several pro-inflammatory mediators were measured in older (24 months) and younger (3 months) male F344xBN F1 rats. Real time RT-PCR was utilized to measure steady state mRNA levels in hippocampus. Older as compared to younger animals exhibited increased mRNA levels of MHC II, CD86, CIITA and IFN-gamma. Furthermore, IL-10 and CD200 mRNA, molecules that down-regulate macrophage activation, was decreased in older animals. The present results indicate that normal brain aging is characterized by a shift towards a pro-inflammatory microenvironment in the CNS.

Associated with these morphological alterations are biochemical changes, such as elevated expression of antigen presentation molecules (MHCII), Toll-like receptors, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β), reduced expression of regulatory molecules (CX3CR1 and CD200R), DNA methylation changes and telomere shortening.
“Associated with these morphological alterations are biochemical changes, such as elevated expression of antigen presentation molecules (MHCII), Toll-like receptors, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β), reduced expression of regulatory molecules (CX3CR1 and CD200R) (Frank et al, 2006;Maher et al, 2004), DNA methylation changes and telomere shortening (Flanary and Streit, 2003;Zannas et al, 2015).”

Microglia under normal aging showed upregulation of genes associated with antigen presentation, such as MHCII, CD86, and CIITA, and suppression of anti-inflammatory genes, such as IL-10 and CD200.
“Microglia under normal aging (ie, aging in absence of neurodegeneration) showed upregulation of genes associated with antigen presentation, such as MHCII, CD86, and CIITA (Frank et al, 2006;Godbout et al, 2005;VanGuilder et al, 2011), and suppression of anti-inflammatory genes, such as IL-10 and CD200 (Frank et al, 2006).”

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.
