Madry et al. (2018) show that the two-pore potassium channel THIK-1 is tonically active in microglia and promotes microglial ramification and surveillance of the brain parenchyma. Interestingly, THIK-1 is not essential to damage-induced outgrowth of microglial processes but is critical to microglial IL-1β release.
马德里等人(2018 年)表明,双孔钾通道 THIK-1 在小胶质细胞中呈紧张性激活状态,促进小胶质细胞的分支和大脑实质的监视。有趣的是,THIK-1 对于损伤诱导的小胶质细胞突起生长不是必需的,但对于小胶质细胞释放白细胞介素-1β是至关重要的。
