Abstract
To investigate microglial mechanisms in central and peripheral inflammation after experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI), we inhibited the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) with PLX5622 (PLX). We hypothesized that microglia depletion would attenuate central inflammation acutely with no effect on peripheral inflammation. After randomization, male mice (n = 105) were fed PLX or control diets (21 days) and then received midline fluid percussion injury or sham injury. Brain and blood were collected at 1, 3, or 7 days post-injury (DPI). Immune cell populations were quantified in the brain and blood by flow cytometry. Cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, IL-17A, and IL-10) were quantified in the blood using a multi-plex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were analyzed using Bayesian multi-variate, multi-level models. PLX depleted microglia at all time points and reduced neutrophils in the brain at 7 DPI. PLX also depleted CD115+ monocytes, reduced myeloid cells, neutrophils, and Ly6Clow monocytes in blood, and elevated IL-6. TBI induced a central and peripheral immune response. TBI elevated leukocytes, microglia, and macrophages in the brain and elevated peripheral myeloid cells, neutrophils, Ly6Cint monocytes, and IL-1β in the blood. TBI lowered peripheral CD115+ and Ly6Clow monocytes in the blood. TBI PLX mice had fewer leukocytes and microglia in the brain at 1 DPI, with elevated neutrophils at 7 DPI compared to TBI mice on a control diet. TBI PLX mice also had fewer peripheral myeloid cells, CD115+, and Ly6Clow monocytes in the blood at 3 DPI, but elevated Ly6Chigh, Ly6Cint, and CD115+ monocyte populations at 7 DPI, compared to TBI mice on a control diet. TBI PLX mice had elevated proinflammatory cytokines and lower anti-inflammatory cytokines in the blood at 7 DPI compared to TBI mice on a control diet. CSF-1R inhibition reduced the immune response to TBI at 1 and 3 DPI, but elevated peripheral inflammation at 7 DPI.

Abstract
Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) inhibition or Sirt2 knockout in animal models protects against the development of neurodegenerative diseases and cerebral ischemia. However, the role of SIRT2 in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains unclear. In this study, we found that knockout of Sirt2 in a mouse model of TBI reduced brain edema, attenuated disruption of the blood-brain barrier, decreased expression of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, reduced the activity of the effector caspase-1, reduced neuroinflammation and neuronal pyroptosis, and improved neurological function. Knockout of Sirt2 in a mechanical stretch injury cell model in vitro also decreased expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis. Our findings suggest that knockout of Sirt2 is neuroprotective against TBI; therefore, Sirt2 could be a novel target for TBI treatment.

Abstract
Both detrimental and beneficial effects of post-traumatic neuroinflammation have become a major research focus as they offer the potential for immediate as well as delayed targeted reparative therapies. Understanding the complex interactions of central and peripheral immunocompetent cells as well as their mediators on brain injury and recovery is complicated by the temporal, regional, and developmental differences in their response to injuries. Microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, have become central in these investigations as they serve a major surveillance function, have the ability to react swiftly to injury, recruit various cellular and chemical mediators, and monitor the reparative/degenerative processes. In this review we describe selected aspects of this burgeoning literature, describing the critical role of cytokines and chemokines, microglia, advances in neuroimaging, genetics and fractal morphology analysis, our research efforts in this area, and selected aspects of pediatric post-traumatic neuroinflammation.
