Long non-coding RNA Malat1 modulates CXCR4 expression to regulate the interaction between induced neural stem cells and microglia following closed head injury by Qin Dong, Pengyu Chen, Wenqiao Qiu, Zhijun Yang, Yanteng Li, Yuhui Zhou, Lili Guo, Dan Zou, Ruxiang Xu, Mou Gao

“…Notably, we found that TNF-α secreted by activated microglia could bind to TNFR1 at the surface of iNSCs to trigger NF-κB activation in iNSCs. Conclusions In short, our findings reveal a novel role of Malat1 in the immunomodulatory effects of iNSCs on microglial activation, suggesting that transplanted iNSCs may self-perceive the changes of the activated state of microglia and thus make prudential regulation of the neuroinflammation following CHI.…”
