摘要

Inflammation significantly influences various neurobiological processes, particularly in the context of the central nervous system (CNS). The Toll-like Receptor (TLR) 9 protein, a key component of the innate immune system, has been identified as a critical mediator of inflammatory responses in the CNS. This review explores the role of TLR9-mediated inflammatory responses in neuronal plasticity, focusing on long-term memory formation. A comprehensive literature review revealed that TLR9 activation instigates inflammatory responses in neurons, leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These inflammatory responses, in turn, can induce DNA damage in neurons, which is integral to synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Activation of TLR9 promotes the expression of DNA repair proteins, facilitating the repair of DNA damage and ensuring neuronal survival. Disruption of TLR9 signaling impairs DNA repair and memory consolidation. The intricate interplay between TLR9, inflammation, and DNA damage plays a pivotal role in long-term memory formation, with potential implications for the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders and memory enhancement strategies.
