腦小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞*來源于卵黃囊巨噬細(xì)胞;因此,在穩(wěn)定狀態(tài)下,它們的功能可以直接歸因于這個(gè)譜系。出生后,小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞數(shù)量的大量擴(kuò)增*是通過 M-CSF 和 CX3CR1 配體 IL-34 的原位增殖驅(qū)動(dòng)的,而無需單核細(xì)胞輸入 [1-4]。常駐小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞在調(diào)節(jié)突觸發(fā)育方面具有關(guān)鍵的穩(wěn)態(tài)功能。與胚胎一樣,小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞在出生后保留其改變神經(jīng)元回路的能力,除了吞噬凋亡神經(jīng)元 [5] 外,它們通過吞噬神經(jīng)元突觸對(duì)突觸修剪至關(guān)重要 - 這些活動(dòng)對(duì)于大腦健康發(fā)育是必需的.重要的是,小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞通過小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞過程的擴(kuò)展與突觸前和突觸后部位的神經(jīng)元?jiǎng)討B(tài)相互作用,其中長(zhǎng)時(shí)間接觸會(huì)導(dǎo)致神經(jīng)元消除[6]。 CX3CR1 的表達(dá)對(duì)于控制小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞數(shù)量、突觸修剪和功能性大腦連接至關(guān)重要,這由 Cx3cr1 缺陷小鼠研究確定 [7]。
如何研究腦小膠質(zhì)細(xì)胞的功能?一個(gè)強(qiáng)有力的工具就是清除腦小膠質(zhì)巨噬細(xì)胞。靶點(diǎn)科技庫存大量LIPOSOMA的ClodronateLiposomes氯膦酸二鈉脂質(zhì)體。作為授權(quán)的中國(guó)Exclusive Distributor,無論從產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量還是技術(shù)支持,都能給予從理論到實(shí)踐的賦能。
