“…The receptor for CCL2 is found in microglia and its activation trigger chemotaxis of cultured microglia. An induction of neuronal CCL2 expression was described in response to various types of injury and degeneration such as ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease, MS, axonal injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or peripheral nerve injury ( Barna et al, 1994 ; Che et al, 2001 ; Pang et al, 2001 ; Rancan et al, 2001 ; Schreiber et al, 2001 ; Baron et al, 2005 ; Bose and Cho, 2013 ; Perner et al, 2018 ). The chemokine CCL2 is also produced by glial cells ( Barna et al, 1994 ; Hanisch, 2002 ; He et al, 2016 ) as perivascular astrocytes have been identified as the most common and predominant source of CCL2 in the CNS in various neuroinflammatory conditions ( Andjelkovic et al, 2002 ; Guillemin et al, 2003 ).…”
