Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Social stress activates microglia through Toll-like receptor in the medial prefrontal cortex. The inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1αand TNFα released from prefrontal microglia are required to induce social avoidance. In the subcortical region, stress produces prostaglandin E2 in a Toll-like receptor dependent manner. In addition, monoacylglycerol lipase, is crucial for stress-induced PGE2 production and social avoidance. These results show that social stress releases different inflammation-related molecules from microglia in the respective brain regions.
