Inhibition of UDP/P2Y(6) purinergic signaling prevents phagocytosis of viable neurons by activated microglia in vitro and in vivo

Microglia activated through Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 or -4 can cause neuronal death by phagocytosing otherwise-viable neurons—a form of cell death called “phagoptosis.” UDP release from neurons has been shown to provoke microglial phagocytosis of neurons via microglial P2Y(6) receptors, but whethe...
