In physiological conditions this receptor is down-regulated while with aging its expression increases, probably due to the accumulation of ligands which, through positive feedback, regulate the expression of receptor itself [40, 41, 42]
As shown in an earlier publication, unconjugated bilirubin stimulates microglia primary cultures to respond by acquiring a phagocytic phenotype, which is transformed into an inflammatory response featuring secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-, increased regulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and enhanced the activities of MMP- 9 and -2 (188)
