Microglia modulate the cerebrovascular reactivity through ectonucleotidase CD39 by Zhongxiao Fu, Mallikarjunarao Ganesana, Philip Hwang, Xiao Tan, Melissa Marie Kinkaid, Yu-Yo Sun, Emily Bian, Aden Weybright, Hong-Ru Chen, Katia Sol-Church, Ukpong B. Eyo, Clare Pridans, Francisco J. Quintana, Simon C. Robson, Pankaj Kumar, B. Jill Venton, Anne Schaefer, Chia-Yi Kuan

“…The microglial-dependent regulation of cerebral blood flow requires the adenosine triphosphate-sensing P2RY12 receptor and ectonucleotidase CD39 that initiates the dephosphorylation of extracellular adenosine triphosphate into adenosine in both male and female mice. Pharmacological inhibition or CX3CR1-CreER-mediated deletion of CD39 mimics the cerebral blood flow anomalies in microglia-deficient mice and reduces the upsurges of extracellular adenosine following whisker stimulation. …”
