Neuronal ‘On’ and ‘Off’ signals control microglia
Abstract
Recent findings indicate that neurons are not merely passive targets of microglia but rather control microglial activity. The variety of different signals that neurons use to control microglia can be divided into two categories: 'Off' signals constitutively keep microglia in their resting state and antagonize proinflammatory activity. 'On' signals are inducible and include purines, chemokines, glutamate. They instruct microglia activation under pathological conditions towards a beneficial or detrimental phenotype. Various neuronal signaling molecules thus actively control microglia function, thereby contribute to the inflammatory milieu of the central nervous system. Thus, neurons should be envisaged as key immune modulators in the brain.

Microglia have the capacity to interact with synaptic elements in response to neurotransmitter release and/or sensory experience.
“Previous work has demonstrated that microglia have the capacity to interact with synaptic elements in response to neurotransmitter release and/or sensory experience (Biber et al., 2007; Fontainhas et al., 2011; Nimmerjahn et al., 2005; Ransohoff and Perry, 2009; Tremblay et al., 2010a; Wake et al., 2009).”

Downregulation of CX3CR1 and CD200R may impair microglia return to homeostasis during AD.
“The ability of microglia to return to homeostasis during AD may be impaired by the downregulation of the microglial receptors CX3CR1 and CD200R, which bind to neuronal ligands and act as immune checkpoints that maintain microglia homeostasis [30]”

Neuronal signals regulating microglial activation have been categorized as Off signals and On signals; Off signals are constitutively expressed signals (such as CX3CL1 and CD200) that maintain homeostatic functions of microglia, whereas On signals are inducible signals (such as ATP and TREM2 ligand) that trigger pro- and anti-inflammatory activation in microglia.
“Neuronal signals regulating microglial activation have been categorized as Off signals and On signals.The former refer to constitutively expressed signals (such as, CX3CL1 and CD200) that maintain the homeostatic functions of microglia, whereas the latter refer to inducible signals (such as, ATP and TREM2 ligand) that trigger pro-and anti-inflammatory activation in microglia (Biber et al, 2007).”

The interaction between CD200 and its receptor CD200r is crucial to the maintenance of microglial quiescence.
“In the CNS, CD200 and its receptor CD200r are expressed by neurons and microglia, respectively, and this interaction is crucial to the maintenance of microglial quiescence (Biber et al, 2007).”

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.
