Complement Receptor 3 Regulates Microglial Exosome Release and Related Neurotoxicity via NADPH Oxidase in Neuroinflammation Associated with Parkinson’s Disease
2025
Overview
Microglia-mediated chronic neuroinflammation is a common pathological feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Strong evidence suggests that activated microglia can lesion neurons by releasing exosomes. However, the mechanisms of exosome release from activated microglia remain unclear. We recently revealed a key role of complement receptor 3 (CR3) in regulating microglial activation in the process of progressive neurodegeneration. This study aimed to investigate whether CR3 can regulate exosome release from activated microglia, as well as the underlying mechanisms. We found that LPS, an inducer of microglial M1 activation, induced exosome release from activated microglia. Inhibition of exosome synthesis suppressed LPS-induced microglial activation, gene expression of proinflammatory factors, and related neurotoxicity. Silencing or knocking out CR3 attenuated LPS-induced exosome release in microglia. NADPH oxidase (NOX2) was further identified as a downstream signal of CR3, mediating microglial exosome release and related neurotoxicity. CR3 silencing blocked LPS-induced NOX2 activation and superoxide production through inhibition of p47phox phosphorylation and membrane translocation. Moreover, NOX2 activation elicited by PMA or supplementation of H2O2 recovered exosome release from CR3-silenced microglia. Subsequently, we demonstrated that the CR3-NOX2 axis regulates syntenin-1 to control microglial exosome release. Finally, we observed that the expression of CR3 was increased in the brain of LPS-treated mice, and genetic ablation of CR3 significantly reduced LPS-induced NOX2 activation, microglial M1 polarization, and exosome production in mice. Overall, our findings revealed a critical role of the CR3-NOX2 axis in controlling microglial exosome release and related neurotoxicity through syntenin-1, providing a novel target for the development of a therapeutic strategy for neuroinflammation-mediated neurodegeneration.
