Neuron-derived CCL2 contributes to microglia activation and neurological decline in hepatic encephalopathy

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: CCL2 was up-regulated in neurons and involved in microglia activation and neurological decline in mice suffering from hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, no data exist concerning the effect of neuron-derived CCL2 on microglia activation in vitro. METHODS: The rats were pretreated with CCL2 ...
