Endocannabinoid modulation of inflammatory hyperalgesia in the IFN-α mouse model of depression
Fitzgibbon, Marie; Kerr, Daniel M.; Henry, Rebecca J.; Finn, David P.; Roche, Michelle (Elsevier, 2019-09-07)Depression is a well-recognised effect of long-term treatment with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), a widely used treatment for chronic viral hepatitis and malignancy. In addition to the emotional disturbances, high incidences ... -
FAAH, but not MAGL, inhibition modulates acute TLR3‐induced neuroimmune signaling in the rat, independent of sex
Flannery, Lisa E.; Henry, Rebecca J.; Kerr, Daniel M.; Finn, David P.; Roche, Michelle (Wiley, 2017-07-20)Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 is a key component of the innate immune response to viral infection. The present study firstly examined whether sex differences exist in TLR3-induced inflammatory, endocrine, and sickness responses. ... -
For whom the endocannabinoid tolls: Modulation of innate immune function and implications for psychiatric disorders
Henry, Rebecca J.; Kerr, Daniel M.; Finn, David P.; Roche, Michelle (Elsevier, 2015-03-17)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mediate the innate immune response to pathogens and are critical in the host defence, homeostasis and response to injury. However, uncontrolled and aberrant TLR activation can elicit potent effects ... -
Pharmacological inhibition of FAAH modulates TLR-induced neuroinflammation, but not sickness behaviour: An effect partially mediated by central TRPV1
Henry, Rebecca J.; Kerr, Daniel M.; Flannery, Lisa E.; Killilea, Marykate; Hughes, Edel M.; Corcoran, Louise; Finn, David P.; Roche, Michelle (Elsevier, 2017-02-22)Aberrant activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs), key components of the innate immune system, has been proposed to underlie and exacerbate a range of central nervous system disorders. Increasing evidence supports a role ...
