Rifampicin inhibits microglial inflammation and improves neuron survival against inflammation
Abstract
Microglial activation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, and suppression of microglial activation prevents the progression of neurodegeneration. Rifampicin, a bacteriocidal antibiotic, induces immunosuppression. We hypothesized that rifampicin might be neuroprotective by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, thereby suppressing microglial activation. In the present study, we examined...
