When animals were challenged with TNFα after receiving minocycline, fewer c-Fos-positive cells were induced in the DVC and selectively in the rostral VLM. These findings highlight the spatial selectivity of cells in the brainstem to increased peripheral pro-inflammatory signaling, as well as the impact of resident microglia on autonomic circuitry responses.
Inhibition of MG/Mϕ with long-term minocycline treatment attenuated the incidence of ICHs around bAVMs. Our study indicates that MG/Mϕ are involved in destabilization of KRAS-induced bAVM, leading to hemorrhagic conversion/ICH. Thus, modulation of MG/Mϕ may reduce ICH risk in bAVM patients.
