“…These include but are not limited to upstream regulators associated with neuronal activity and neurotransmission [NEUROD1 (Z-score 2.373), norepinephrine (Z-score 2.946), FOS (Z-score -2.026), FOSB (Z-score -2.2), and SLC16A2 (Z-score -2.074)], microglia-enriched transcription factors [SAL4 (Z-score 3.889), RARG (Z-score 2.186) and TEAD4 (Z-score -2.005)] and inflammatory signaling [CD247 (Z-score 2.236), IL9 (Z-score 2.229), TLR9 (Z-score 2.155), AMPK (Z-score 2.08), FHL2 (Z-score -2.804), IL3 (Z-score -2.428), CD40 (Z-score -2.382), HMGXB4 (Z-score -2.236), PTPN2 (Z-score -2.219), CD40LG (Z-score -2.21), CCL5 (Z-score -2.179), LTA (TNFβ) (Z-score -2.138), TIMP1 (Z-score -2.111), and NFKB1 (Z-score -2.015)]. Some notable effects were the activation of norepinephrine, the microglia-enriched transcription factors RARG and TEAD4 (Ayata, Badimon et al 2018) and the inhibition of the negative regulator of Wnt signaling, HMGXB4 (He, Dong et al 2021), as well as of NFKB1 and the negative regulators of NF-kB and inflammasome activation, FHL2 and PTPN2 (Ha Thi, Choi et al 2016, Dahan, Levillayer et al 2017). These experiments demonstrated a significant interaction between dopamine and the regulation of inflammation in human microglia and suggest further research in this area is needed to better define these effects.…”
