|title=mRNA up-regulation of MHC II and pivotal pro-inflammatory genes in normal brain aging.
|pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15890435
|abstract=In normal brain aging, CNS resident macrophages exhibit increased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II expression. However, the transcriptional basis for this observation has not been clarified nor have age-related alterations in pivotal pro-inflammatory genes been characterized. Age-related mRNA alterations in MHC II, MHC II accessory molecules and several pro-inflammatory mediators were measured in older (24 months) and younger (3 months) male F344xBN F1 rats. Real time RT-PCR was utilized to measure steady state mRNA levels in hippocampus. Older as compared to younger animals exhibited increased mRNA levels of MHC II, [[CD86]], [[CIITA]] and IFN-gamma. Furthermore, IL-10 and [[CD200]] mRNA, molecules that down-regulate macrophage activation, was decreased in older animals. The present results indicate that normal brain aging is characterized by a shift towards a pro-inflammatory microenvironment in the CNS.

|title=Immunosenescence of macrophages: reduced MHC class II gene expression.
|pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11772525
|abstract=In order to determine the effect of aging on macrophages, we produced bone marrow-derived macrophages in vitro from young and aged mice. We analyzed the effect of aging on the genomic expression of macrophages in these conditions, without the influence of other cell types that may be affected by aging. Macrophages from young and aged mice were present in similar numbers and showed an identical degree of differentiation, cell size, DNA content and cell surface markers. After incubation with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), the expression at the cell surface of the MHC class II gene IA complex product and the levels of intracellular IAbeta protein and mRNA were lower in aged macrophages. Moreover, the transcription of IAbeta gene was impaired in aged macrophages. The amount of transcription factors that bound to the W and X boxes, but not to the Y box of the IAbeta promoter gene were lower in aged macrophages. Similar levels of [[CIITA]] mRNA were found after IFN-gamma treatment of both young and aged macrophages. This shows that neither the initial cascade that starts after the interaction of IFN-gamma with the receptor, nor the second signals involved in the expression of [[CIITA]], are impaired in aged macrophages. These data could explain, at least in part, the impaired immune response associated to senescence.

|title=IFN-gamma-dependent transcription of MHC class II IA is impaired in macrophages from aged mice.
|pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11181648
|abstract=To determine the effect of aging on IFN-gamma-induced MHC class II antigen expression, we produced bone marrow-derived macrophages in vitro. In these conditions, we analyzed the effect of aging on the genomic expression of macrophages without the influence of other cell types that may be affected by aging. Although macrophages from young and aged mice showed an identical degree of differentiation, after incubation with IFN-gamma, the expression at the cell surface of the IA complex and the levels of IAbeta protein and mRNA were lower in aged macrophages. Moreover, the transcription of the IAbeta gene was impaired in aged macrophages. The amount of transcription factors that bound to the W and X, but not to the Y, boxes of the IAbeta promoter gene was lower in aged macrophages. Similar levels of [[CIITA]] mRNA were found after IFN-gamma treatment of both young and aged macrophages. This shows that neither the initial cascade that starts after the interaction of IFN-gamma with the receptor nor the second signals involved in the expression of [[CIITA]] are impaired in aged macrophages. These data indicate that aging is associated with low levels of MHC class II gene induction by IFN-gamma because of impaired transcription.
