Disorders of the CNS development at an early age caused by various types of perinatal pathology, such as infectious diseases, trauma, hypoxia and ischemia, often lead to the development of cognitive brain dysfunctions in adulthood. Proinflammatory cytokines play key role in these pathological processes and can affect the expression of genes involved in the regulation of neuroplasticity. This article describes the changes in the expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 (Fgf2), as well as genes encoding matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), proteins that by intercellular matrix re-modeling are involved in the regulation of neuroplasticity. |
