    Abstract:

    Objective:To investigate the role of Toll-like receptor(TLR)/NF-κB signaling pathway in methamphetamine(METH)-induced primary microglial activation and inflammatory reaction. Methods:Primary microglial cells were isolated and cultured,then the purity of primary microglia was detected by immunofluorescence. Cells were treated with METH(300 μmol/L) for 0 min,15 min,30 min,1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h,and 24 h,and the activations of primary microglia and NF-κB pathway were detected by Western blot. The inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6)and TLR1-9,11 mRNA levels were detected by real-time PCR. Results:The purity of primary microglial cells was above 95%. After exposure to METH,the primary microglia activation marker IBA-1 was increased and the NF-κB pathway was activated. In addition,the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6) and TLR2,4-5,7-9,11 were significantly increased(P < 0.05),while the level of TLR1 mRNA was significantly reduced. Conclusion:METH can activate primary microglial cells and promote the release of inflammatory factors by regulating the TLR/NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore,TLR can be potential targets for METH neuritis response intervention with certain therapeutic significance.
