White Matter Anomaly Associated Cognitive Impairment During Systemic Inflammation Is Related to CX3CR1 Mediated Microglia-Node Interactions That Impacts the Conductive Function of... by Shi X, Zhang J, Zhao H, Yang X, Gao F

“…Contact between microglia and Ranvier’s nodes has been identified in the brain white matter (WM). We propose that WM anomaly associated cognitive impairment during systemic inflammation is due to the alteration of microglia-node interactions, which impacts the conductive function of axons.Methods: Novel object recognition and Y-maze tests were performed, and the corpus callosum (CC) axon compound action potential (CAP), microglia proportional area, density of microglia-node contact, and infiltrated circulating immune cells were examined in wild-type (WT), CX3CR1, and CCR2 knockout mice before and after systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration.Results: CX3CR1 deficiency significantly reduced rate of exploring new objects and new paths, decreased CC CAP and microglia-node contact compared with WT mice. …”

Evaluation of MRI-based brain oxygen extraction fraction mapping in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus by Lingli Dong, Yi Wang, Ziwei Hu, Shun Zhang, Shuoqi Zhang, Jiayi Ma, Shaolong Wu, Su Yan, Junghun Cho, Wenzhen Zhu

“…OEF was calculated by quantitative susceptibility mapping plus quantitative blood oxygen level-dependent model (QQ). Whole-brain voxel-wise analysis of OEF was performed. In subcortical grey matter structures, regional OEF values were measured, and their relationship with MoCA scores was explored.Results Whole-brain voxel-wise analysis revealed significant changes of OEF primarily in the limbic system, including the orbitofrontal cortex and bilateral insular lobes, among HC, non-NPSLE and NPSLE groups. …”
