Neurological disorders

Inflammatory contribution to epilepsy development

Traumatic brain injury

Damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) stimulation of immune system

Significant CCL2 increase

Neutrophil recruitment —> BBB damage

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) release —> activate vascular endothelium —> T cell infiltration of BBB

[137]

Status epilepticus

Elevated IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 transcript levels

Albumin extravasation <—>BBB breakdown

EP2-COX2 upregulation

TLR pathways stimulated [138]

Multiple sclerosis

Increased oxidative stress and ROS

Activation of microglia

Recruitment of T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages [139]

GBM

IL-8 up-regulation via EGFRvIII

IL-6-mediated STAT3 activation

IL-1β-dependent activation of NF-κB, p38 MAPK and JNKs pathways [140]

Stroke

TNF-α, IL-1Β, IL-6 upregulation

ICAM and VCAM upregulation

MMP-9 increase

MCP-1,(MIP-1α), fractalkine (CX3CL1) increase [141]

Alzheimer’s disease

MCP-1, cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), CXCL8, CCL5 increase

Deposition of Aβ generates ROS

Activation of the complement cascade [142]
