Interleukin-13 Propagates Prothrombin Kringle-2-Induced Neurotoxicity in Hippocampi In Vivo via Oxidative Stress

Abstract: The present study investigated expression of endogenous interleukin-13 (IL-13) and its possible function in the hippocampus of prothrombin kringle-2 (pKr-2)-lesioned rats. Here we report that intrahippocampal injection of pKr-2 revealed a significant loss of NeuN-immunopositive (NeuN+) and Nissl+ cells in the hippocampus at 7 days after pKr-2. In parallel, pKr-2 increased IL-13 levels, which reached a peak at 3 days post pKr-2 and sustained up to 7 days post pKr-2. IL-13 immunoreactivity was seen exclusively i… Show more

“…In the present study, we demonstrated that IL-13 originated from reactive microglia/macrophage mediates destruction of BBB and loss of astrocytes, leading to neurodegeneration in LPS-injected striatum in vivo. This finding is in line with our reports showing that IL-13 contributes to the production of proinflammatory cytokines and/or oxidative stress, leading to neurodegeneration in thrombin- [34], Aβ 1-42 - [20] or pKr-2-injected hippocampus in vivo [4]. It is therefore likely that these apparent discrepancies may be attributed to the use of different stimuli (LPS vs thrombin, Aβ 1-42 or pKr-2) and/or target areas (striatum vs cortex or hippocampus) although the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined.…”

“…To determine activation of microglia in the stratum by LPS in vivo, sections adjacent to those used for NeuN immunostaining were processed for immunohistochemical staining using antibodies against OX-42 and OX-6 to detect microglial activation, as recently described [ 31 ]. In the PBS-injected striatum, OX-42 + cells exhibited the resting state with small cell bodies and ramified processes ( Figure 1 B).…”

“…Brains were removed from the skulls, postfixed overnight in buffered 4% paraformaldehyde at 4 °C, stored in a 30% sucrose solution for 24–48 h at 4 °C until they sank, and were frozen-sectioned on a sliding microtome in 40-µm-thick coronal sections. All sections were collected in six separate series and processed for immunohistochemical staining, as described previously [ 31 ]. In brief, brain sections were rinsed in PBS and then incubated overnight at room temperature with the following primary antibodies.…”
