Description
Microglia cells are resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord and they act as the first and the main form of active immune defense in the nervous system. In addition to expressing microglial specific markers CD68 and Iba1, the spontaneously Immortalized Mouse Microglia (SIM-A9) retains responsiveness to exogenous inflammatory stimulation (LPS and β-amyloid) and the ability to secret cytokines and nitric oxide as well as phagocytose biological debris. Upon LPS and IL-4 stimulation, these cells are capable of switching between the pro-inflammatory microglial phenotype, M1, which is associated with elevated iNOS and COX-2 followed by IкB and tyrosine kinase pathways and the regenerative-supportive phenotype, M2, which is identified by an increased in Arg-1 expression, respectively. SIM-A9 exhibits key attributes of primary microglia and is useful in characterization of stimulus-triggered microglial migration, proliferation and phagocytosis.

Quality Control
1) Functional assays such as the nitrate assay was performed to assess nitric oxide production;
2) ELISA was used to determine the TNFα secretion after inflammatory stimulation;
3) Western blot and immunocytochemistry were used to confirm the expression of microglial specific markers such as CD68 and Iba1 and M1/M2 phenotype-associated protein expression (COX-2/iNOS and Arg-1) after stimulation;
4) Aβ1-42orE. coli-derived bioparticles uptake was used to determine phagocytic activity of SIM-A9 cells.
