The authors previously showed that conditioned media (CM) from activated microglia increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) in cortical neurons. Here they examined the ability of noradrenaline (NA) to reduce neuronal NOS2 or cell death. Primary mouse cortical neurons were activated using CM from microglia incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Neuronal NOS2 was assessed by increases in nitrite accumulation, and increases in NOS2 mRNA levels and fluorescence of the NO-sensitive probe DAF-2 DA. NOS2 induction was associated with an increase in neuronal LDH release. When NA was added during microglial activation, neuronal NOS2 was significantly reduced (by approximately 70%); in contrast if NA was added to the neurons along with CM, there was less reduction (about 35% decrease) in NOS2 expression. NA added to either microglia or to neurons reduced neuronal LDH release comparably. Pretreatment of CM with blocking antibody to TNF alpha, alone or with IL1-receptor antagonist, partially reduced neuronal cell death and NOS2. Incubation of neurons with NA increased IkB alpha, which could reduce NOS2. These results demonstrate that NA modulates neuronal NOS2 expression and damage, and that these effects are primarily due to inhibition of microglia released factors. Perturbations of NA could exacerbate neuronal damage by allowing for increased inflammatory responses.
