AB  - Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that 
      involves functional and structural defects in selective central nervous system 
      (CNS) regions, harming the individual capability to process and respond to 
      external stimuli, including impaired verbal and non-verbal communications. 
      Etiological causes of ASD have not been fully clarified; however, prenatal 
      activation of the innate immune system by external stimuli might infiltrate 
      peripheral immune cells into the fetal CNS and activate cytokine secretion by 
      microglia and astrocytes. For instance, genomic and postmortem histological 
      analysis has identified proinflammatory gene signatures, microglia-related 
      expressed genes, and neuroinflammatory markers in the brain during ASD diagnosis. 
      Active neuroinflammation might also occur during the developmental stage, 
      promoting the establishment of a defective brain connectome and increasing 
      susceptibility to ASD after birth. While still under investigation, we tested the 
      hypothesis whether the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) signaling is 
      prenatally programmed to favor peripheral immune cell infiltration and activate 
      microglia into the fetal CNS, setting susceptibility to autism-like behavior. In 
      this review, we will comprehensively provide the current understanding of the 
      prenatal activation of MCP-1 signaling by external stimuli during the 
      developmental stage as a new selective node to promote neuroinflammation, brain 
      structural alterations, and behavioral defects associated to ASD diagnosis.
