Cover Story: The prominent pathological change in prion-affected brains is neuroinflammation and aggregation of pathogenic prions. We investigated the impact of innate immune responses on prion replication in vitro. Glial cells from the cerebellum were susceptible to HY, but resistant to DY prion as determined by Western blot analysis, immunocytochemistry, and animal bioassay. However, glial cells from the cerebral cortex were refractory to both strains. Priming glial cells with lipopolysaccharide decreased prion replication, whereas pre-treatment with dexamethasone inhibiting innate immunity increased susceptibility to DY infection. Our results suggest that neuroinflammation resulting from prion infection might be an attempt to resolve prion propagation, implying a therapeutic potential of innate immune modulation in the early stages of prion disease.
