The Role of Cytokines on Synaptic Plasticity in the Dentate Gyrus
Derval Cumiskey
Pro-inflammatory cytokines have been implicated in a wide range of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including trauma, ischemia, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer?s disease. Tumour necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), both pro-inflammatory cytokines, have previously been shown to attenuate long-term potentiation (LTP), a proposed model for learning and memory. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the TNF-? and IL-18 mediated inhibition of LTP. Initial experiments consolidate evidence on inducing LTP in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Subsequent experiments consolidate evidence that TNF-? and IL-18 can impair LTP in the dentate gyrus.
