PG - 1577-87 AB - In certain pathologic states, cytokine production may become spatially and temporally dysregulated, leading to their inappropriate production and potentially detrimental consequences. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) mediate a range of host responses affecting multiple cell types. To study the role of cytokines in the early stages of brain injury, we examined alterations in the 17-day-old mouse hippocampus during trimethyltin-induced neurodegeneration characterized by neuronal necrosis, microglia activation in the dentate, and astrocyte reactivity throughout the hippocampus. By 24 h after dosing, elevations in mRNA levels for TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 mRNA were seen. TGF-beta1 mRNA was elevated at 72 h. In situ hybridization showed that TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha were localized to the microglia, whereas TGF-beta1 was expressed predominantly in hippocampal pyramidal cells. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1, EB-22, Mac-1, and glial fibrillary acidic protein mRNA levels were elevated within the first 3 days of exposure in the absence of increased inducible nitric oxide synthetase and interferon-gamma mRNA. These data suggest that pro-inflammatory cytokines contribute to the progression and pattern of neuronal degeneration in the hippocampus.
