Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL33) plays a critical role in modulating immune and inflammatory responses across various diseases, yet its influence on Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive. In this study, we provide substantial evidence that global depletion of Il33 exacerbates PD pathology and motor deficits in vivo. Moreover, Il33 deficiency diminishes the communication between astrocytes and microglia, leading to a more profound injury to primary neurons in vitro. Notably, the application of recombinant IL33 (rIL33) following MPTP treatment or α-synucleinA53T overexpression partially inhibits the reduction in TH expression, glial activation, and the motor dysfunctions in vivo. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the opposed effects of Il33 deletion and rIL33 administration on neuroinflammation in PD, emphasizing the therapeutic potential of IL33 in regulating neuroinflammation and neuronal viability in the central nervous system (CNS).
期刊介绍:
Established in 1987, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity proudly serves as the official journal of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS). This pioneering journal is dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed basic, experimental, and clinical studies that explore the intricate interactions among behavioral, neural, endocrine, and immune systems in both humans and animals.
As an international and interdisciplinary platform, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity focuses on original research spanning neuroscience, immunology, integrative physiology, behavioral biology, psychiatry, psychology, and clinical medicine. The journal is inclusive of research conducted at various levels, including molecular, cellular, social, and whole organism perspectives. With a commitment to efficiency, the journal facilitates online submission and review, ensuring timely publication of experimental results. Manuscripts typically undergo peer review and are returned to authors within 30 days of submission. It's worth noting that Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, published eight times a year, does not impose submission fees or page charges, fostering an open and accessible platform for scientific discourse.
