Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of PrPC on various forms of microglial activation. 【Method】 BV2 microglia were treated, respectively, with IFN-γ, IL-4, or IL-10, and the mRNA expression of PRNP was examined by RT-PCR. Then the effects of si-RNA-mediated disruption of PRNP on different parameters of microglial activation in IFN-γ, IL-4, or IL-10-stimulated microglia were analyzed by RT-PCR and western-blot. 【Result】PRNP mRNA expression was invariably downregulated in microglia upon exposure to IFN-γ, IL-4, or IL-10. PRNP silencing prior to cytokines treatment reduced the responsiveness of microglia to INF-γ treatment, significantly altered IL-4-induced microglial activation phenotype, and had no effect on IL-10-induced microglial activation.【Conclusion】Together, these results support a role of PrPC in the modulation of the shift of microglia from a quiescent state to an activated phenotype and in the regulation of the microglial response during classical and alternative activation.
