Abstract
Microglia and infiltrating leukocytes are considered major producers of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is a crucial player in cerebral ischemia and brain inflammation. We have identified a neuroprotective role for microglial-derived TNF in cerebral ischemia in mice. We show that cortical infarction and behavioral deficit are significantly exacerbated in TNF-knock-out (KO) mice compared with wild-type mice. By using in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and green fluorescent protein bone marrow (BM)-chimeric mice, TNF was shown to be produced by microglia and infiltrating leukocytes. Additional analysis demonstrating that BM-chimeric TNF-KO mice grafted with wild-type BM cells developed larger infarcts than BM-chimeric wild-type mice grafted with TNF-KO BM cells provided evidence that the neuroprotective effect of TNF was attributable to microglial- not leukocyte-derived TNF. In addition, observation of increased infarction in TNF-p55 receptor (TNF-p55R)-KO mice compared with TNF-p75R and wild-type mice suggested that microglial-derived TNF exerts neuroprotective effects through TNF-p55R. We finally report that TNF deficiency is associated with reduced microglial population size and Toll-like receptor 2 expression in unmanipulated brain, which might also influence the neuronal response to injury. Our results identify microglia and microglial-derived TNF as playing a key role in determining the survival of endangered neurons in cerebral ischemia.

An easy way to objectively quantify the muscular strength of mice and rats, and to assess the effect of drugs, toxins, muscular (i.e. myopathy) and neurodegenerative diseases on muscular degeneration. It is widely used in conjunction with the ROTAROD motor coordination test: a normally coordinated rodent will show a decreased latency to fall off the rotating rod if its muscular strength is low. The Grip Strength Test is a must for your research on activity, motor control & coordination, and is particularly well suited for studies on Parkinson's & Huntington's disease.
