Dissertação de mestrado em Bioquímica apresentada ao Departamento Ciências da Vida da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.A quimiocina fractalquina (Fkn) é uma molécula única, expressa constitutivamente por neurónios no sistema nervoso central (SNC), enquanto que neste tecido o seu receptor se encontra apenas em microglia. Um conjunto crescente de indícios sugere que a Fkn pode servir como modulador da interacção entre neurónios e microglia no SNC saudável e/ou em casos patológicos. Neste trabalho, investigámos os efeitos moduladores da Fkn no perfil inflamatório promovido pelo lipopolissacarídeo (LPS) na linha celular de microglia N9. Os nossos resultados mostram que a Fkn induz uma redução na expressão de m...
