Abstract
SUMMARY

1. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects
of glucosamine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cellular
activation in microglia and to evaluate the inhibitory
mechanisms involved.
2. Lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/mL) was used for the
activation of primary cultured rat microglial or BV2 microglial
cells. Changes in intracellular Ca

2+

levels and outward K

+

currents were measured using fura-2/AM and whole-cell
patch-clamp methods, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide-
induced expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-



mRNA
was analysed by reverse transcription–polymerase chain
reaction.
3. Lipopolysaccharide transformed cell morphology into an
amoeboid shape

in



vitro

and induced microglial activation

in vivo

, as measured by immunohistochemical staining, but
glucosamine inhibited this activation. Glucosamine also
inhibited LPS-induced Ca

2+

influx, outward K

+

currents and
TNF-



mRNA expression, which are typically representative
of microglial activation.
4. The results suggest that the inhibitory mechanisms of
glucosamine on LPS-induced microglial activation include
inhibition of Ca

2+

influx and outward K

+

currents, as well as
downregulation of the microglial activator gene TNF-



.
Key words: glucosamine, lipopolysaccharide, microglial
activation.
