“…Its forced expression downregulates pro‐inflammatory markers, while increases the expression of protective markers, as is the case of TGF‐β, Arg1, and FIZZ1 (Y. Sun et al, ; Ponomarev et al, ; S. Huang et al, ; Periyasamy et al, ) and reduces microglial phagocytic ability (Pinto, Cunha, Barbosa, Vaz, & Brites, ; Svahn, Giacomotto, Graeber, Rinkwitz, & Becker, ). The contribution of miR‐124 to homeostatic/anti‐inflammatory microglia functions relies on silencing of CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein (C/EBP)‐α (P. Zhang et al, ), one of the major transcription factor that drives pro‐inflammatory microglia polarization (A. Yu et al, ).…”
