“…The cytokines chosen for assessment were interferon‐γ (IFNγ), tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNFα) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) as these cytokines are linked to both MHC II induction (Dong and Benveniste, 2001) and PD pathogenesis (Mogi et al, 1994a, 1994b; Mount et al, 2007). Saline‐treated MHC II null mice had higher levels of IFNγ than saline‐treated wild‐type mice ( P  = 0.040 ANOVA, Student Newman Keuls post hoc test; Fig.…”

“…However, some of these pro‐inflammatory cytokines, especially IFNγ, may be derived from infiltrating CD4 + T‐cells. Irrespective of their source, all these cytokines are increased in PD patients (Mogi et al, 1994a, 1994b; Mount et al, 2007) and are documented to have negative impacts on MPTP toxicity (Mount et al, 2007; Ferger et al, 2004). Indeed IFNγ null mice showed significant attenuation of MPTP‐induced loss of dopaminergic neurons together with ablation of microgliosis (Mount et al, 2007), suggesting that IFNγ activation of microglia is important in MPTP toxicity.…”

“…Neuroinflammation observed in PD is attributed to activated microglia, which are abundant in the post-mortem brains of PD patients [116,117]. Postmortem CSF and brain tissue from PD patients have elevated TNF and IFN- levels [118,119]. Rodent models of chronic LPS infusion lead to brain inflammation with subsequent delay and selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons [120].…”

“…Moreover, the SN is particularly vulnerable to microglial inflammation, as induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injections (205,206). Extensive microgliosis, pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress-mediated damage is found in post mortem brains of PD patients (120-123, 196, 207, 208) as well as in animal models of PD (124,190,208,209), including upregulated expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-1β (120,(122)(123)(124)190) and reactive oxygen-and nitrogen species (190,196,208). These features were co-localized with microglia and were increased in areas most affected by dopaminergic cell death, suggesting a significant role of microglia and inflammation in the degenerative process (153).…”
