Prenatal inflammation impairs early CD11c-positive microglia induction and delays myelination in neurodevelopmental disorders by Kazuya Fuma, Yukako Iitani, Kenji Imai, Takafumi Ushida, Sho Tano, Kosuke Yoshida, Akira Yokoi, Rika Miki, Hiroyuki Kidokoro, Yoshiaki Sato, Yuichiro Hara, Tomoo Ogi, Kohei Nomaki, Makoto Tsuda, Okiru Komine, Koji Yamanaka, Hiroaki Kajiyama, Tomomi Kotani

“…In humans, preterm infants with HCA exhibited higher IL-6 and IL-17A cord-serum levels and lower IGF-1 levels than those without HCA, followed by a higher incidence of delayed myelination on magnetic resonance imaging at the term-equivalent age. In silico analysis revealed that the transient induction of CD11c+ microglia during early development occurred similarly in mice and humans. …”
