This research investigates the role of microglia in experimental cerebral malaria (eCM) with a focus on their migration and activation mechanisms.
Utilized Plasmodium berghei ANKA and P. chabaudi infections in IL-10-deficient mice to study microglial response.
Applied intranasal administration of CCL5 receptor antagonist Met-CCL5, integrin-blocking antibodies, and mutant animal models.
Conducted intravital two-photon microscopy and flow cytometry to observe migration patterns of microglia and immune cells.
Intranasal Met-CCL5 administration resulted in reduced microglia migration and CD8 T cell adherence to cerebral vessels.
Disruption of fibrin-CD11b interactions intensified hypothermia in experimental models.
No change in mortality was observed in clotting-deficient mice despite the protective effects of anticoagulation in IL-10 KO models.
