Activation of microglia commonly occurs in response to
a wide variety of pathological stimuli including trauma, axotomy,
ischemia, and degeneration in the CNS. In the retina, prolonged or
high-intensity exposure to visible light leads to photoreceptor cell
apoptosis. In such a light-reared retina, we found that activated
microglia invade the degenerating photoreceptor layer and alter
expression of neurotrophic factors such as nerve growth factor (NGF),
ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and glial cell line-derived
neurotrophic factor (GDNF). Because these neurotrophic factors
modulate secondary trophic factor expression in Müller glial
cells, microglia-Müller glia cell interaction may contribute to
protection of photoreceptors or increase photoreceptor apoptosis. In
the present study, we demonstrate the possibility that such functional
glia-glia interactions constitute the key mechanism by which
microglia-derived NGF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and
CNTF indirectly influence photoreceptor survival, although the
receptors for these neurotrophic factors are absent from
photoreceptors, by modulating basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and
GDNF production and release from Müller glia. These observations
suggest that microglia regulate the microglia-Müller glia-photoreceptor network that serves as a trophic factor-controlling system during retinal degeneration.
Key words:
microglia; Müller glial cell; photoreceptor; neurotrophins; glia-glia interaction; glia-neuron interaction; retinal degeneration
