Innate immune preconditioning has shown promise for the prevention of PTSD, yet the transient nature of such protection when induced in adulthood poses a substantial limitation. Using male C57BL/6J mice, we tested whether administration of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, 100 µg/kg, intraperitoneally) during adolescence, a developmental period characterized by heightened microglial plasticity, could establish enduring resilience against trauma-induced PTSD-like behaviors. Mice received a single M-CSF injection at postnatal day 28 (PND28) and were subsequently subjected to single prolonged stress (SPS/FS) at 4, 16, or 32 weeks thereafter, with behavioral and molecular assessments conducted at PND70, PND154, and PND266, respectively. Our results showed that adolescent M-CSF exposure substantially prevented SPS/FS-induced anxiety-like behaviors assessed by the elevated plus maze and open field test, and SPS/FS-induced fear-like behaviors evaluated by contextual and cued fear conditioning tests, at all three post-administration intervals. Concurrently, M-CSF pretreatment prevented SPS/FS-induced interleukin-1β (<i>Il-1β</i>), <i>Il-6</i>, and tumor necrosis factor-α (<i>Tnf-α</i>) mRNA expression within the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex across all time points examined. These protective phenotypes were eliminated when microglial function was pharmacologically inhibited or when microglia were depleted before M-CSF administration, establishing that microglial integrity at the time of adolescent immune challenge is required for the establishment of long-term resilience. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that a single developmental immune intervention confers lifelong protection against SPS/FS-induced PTSD-like behaviors through microglia-dependent mechanisms, introducing a vaccine-like paradigm for the prevention of PTSD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":719,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemical Research","volume":"51 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149219410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data on the concentration dependences of molar conductivity and pH have been used to show that LS and ChTS·Asp solutions exhibit polyelectrolyte properties. On the basis of the potentiometrically controlled dosed mixing of polyelectrolyte solutions in two different orders, the cloud points have been determined and an empirical phase state diagram has been plotted for the LS–ChTS·Asp systems. It has been found that, when the LS solution is added to the ChTS·Asp solution, the turbidity onset is observed at conditional analytical ratio <i>n</i>(<span>({text{SO}}_{3}^{ - })</span>)/<i>n</i>(<span>({text{NH}}_{3}^{ + })</span>) = 0.015–0.567, i.e., in the region of an analytical excess of ChTS amino groups.

Neuroinflammation acts as a pivotal driver of secondary brain injury, mediated by intricate bidirectional interactions between peripheral T cells and central nervous system (CNS)-resident microglia. This review delineates the molecular mechanisms underlying T cell-microglia crosstalk in cerebral ischemia, emphasizing their dual roles in exacerbating neurotoxicity and promoting repair. Direct interactions involve antigen presentation via MHC-TCR engagement and co-stimulatory checkpoints (e.g., CD80/CD86-CD28, PD-L1-PD-1), which regulate T cell activation and microglial polarization. Direct signaling through cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17, IL-10) further modulates microglial phenotypes: Th1/Th17 cells drive pro-inflammatory M1 polarization via STAT1/NF-κB pathways, while Tregs/Th2 cells induce anti-inflammatory M2 states through STAT6/SMAD signaling. Spatial transcriptomics and single-cell omics reveal spatiotemporal dynamics of these interactions, identifying STAT1/STAT6 imbalance as a critical determinant of neuroinflammatory outcomes. Advanced methodologies, including two-photon intravital microscopy and microfluidic blood-brain barrier (BBB) models, enable real-time visualization of immune cell trafficking and synaptic communication. Therapeutically, targeting immune checkpoints (CTLA-4, PD-1) or cytokine pathways (e.g., IL-4 mimetics) shows promise in recalibrating neuroimmune responses. However, challenges such as blood-brain barrier impermeability to biologics and interspecies immune heterogeneity necessitate innovative delivery strategies. This review integrates molecular, cellular, and technological insights to propose a framework for precision immunomodulation. By elucidating context-dependent signaling nodes and leveraging emerging tools, the study underscores the potential of harnessing T cell-microglia crosstalk to mitigate neuroinflammation and enhance neural repair, offering transformative avenues for stroke and dementia therapy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":719,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemical Research","volume":"51 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149219465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is known that it can accelerate biological processes acting as a catalyst for cellular respiration. Microemulsions based on sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) are of significant interest as nanosized transport and reaction systems in biocatalysis, as they are capable of stabilizing enzymes while maintaining their functional activity. In this study, three-component water/AOT/isopropyl myristate systems with different compositions and degrees of hydration have been obtained. They have the structure of water-in-oil microemulsions with droplet sizes of 4.2–8.7 nm, as well as the structure of liquid crystals. The structure-related phase transformations in the systems under consideration have been studied upon increasing AOT concentration from microemulsions to a liquid crystalline mesophase. It has been found that the incorporation of cytochrome C into the microemulsions results in its good solubilization, which leads to a slight decrease in droplet sizes and their narrower distribution in the system. The UV–Vis and luminescence spectroscopy data have shown the occurrence of the adsorption interaction between the protein and the polar groups of AOT.

A three-level hierarchically organized model is proposed to describe the process of innovation implementation in universities. The model includes agents (followers, in whose role teachers act), supervisors (subjects of middle-level management, universities) and a principal (leader, the state). The principal (the state) is the first to announce its behavior strategy. Supervisors choose their management strategies when the principal’s choice is already known, but the agents’ choice is not yet known. Agents (teachers) make their choice when the management strategies of the other subjects are already known. Supervisors, like agents, make their choice independently of each other. The principal subsidizes the innovative development of higher education institutions by allocating funds for the development of new electronic courses. The new electronic courses being developed are considered as innovative products that contribute to the innovative development of higher education institutions. Supervisors receive subsidies from the principal for the development and implementation of innovative products. They determine the required volume of new courses issued by agents. Agents develop new electronic training courses for subsequent sale and implementation in the educational process. Supervisors keep part of the subsidies received from the principal for themselves, and transfer part to agents. Agents receive subsidies, the amount of which depends on the demand for the courses they develop, and manage the quality of the courses they develop, improving their qualifications. The possibility of corruption in the system is provided for and methods for combating it are defined. Lower and middle management entities may be subject to corruption. Agents may offer bribes to supervisors, in exchange for which they inflate the portion of subsidies transferred to agents. An analysis is conducted of how the presence of corruption affects the innovative development of universities. Thus, a dynamic three-level model is constructed, in which the dynamics are described by a difference equation reflecting the change in the general innovative level of the education system depending on the agents’ controls.
