abstract = {BackgroundMicroglia are essential to maintain cell
homeostasis in the healthy brain and are activated after
brain injury. Upon activation, microglia polarize towards
different phenotypes. The course of microglia activation is
complex and depends on signals in the surrounding milieu.
Recently, it has been suggested that microglia respond to
ion currents, as a way of regulating their activity and
function.Methods and resultsUnder the hypothesis that HCN
and KCNQ/Kv7 channels impact on microglia, we studied
primary rat microglia in the presence or absence of specific
pharmacological blockade or RNA silencing. Primary microglia
expressed the subunits HCN1-4, Kv7.2, Kv7.3, and Kv7.5. The
expression of HCN2, as well as Kv7.2 and Kv7.3, varied among
different microglia phenotypes. The pharmacological blockade
of HCN channels by ZD7288 resulted in cell depolarization
with slowly rising intracellular calcium levels, leading to
enhanced survival and reduced proliferation rates of resting
microglia. Furthermore, ZD7288 treatment, as well as
knockdown of HCN2 RNA by small interfering RNA, resulted in
an attenuation of later microglia activation—both towards
the anti- and pro-inflammatory phenotype. However, HCN
channel inhibition enhanced the phagocytic capacity of
IL4-stimulated microglia. Blockade of Kv7/KCNQ channel by
XE-991 exclusively inhibited the migratory capacity of
resting microglia.ConclusionThese observations suggest that
the HCN current contributes to various microglia functions
and impacts on the course of microglia activation, while the
Kv7/KCNQ channels affect microglia migration. Characterizing
the role of HCN channels in microglial functioning may offer
new therapeutic approaches for targeted modulation of
neuroinflammation as a hallmark of various neurological
disorders.},
