Abnormal microglial polarization induced by Arid1a deletion leads to neuronal differentiation deficits.
Article in Cell proliferation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveMicroglia, the prototypical innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are highly plastic and assume their phenotypes dependent on intrinsically genetic, epigenetic regulation or extrinsically microenvironmental cues. Microglia has been recognized as key regulators of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) and brain functions. Chromatin accessibility is implicated in immune cell development and functional regulation. However, it is still unknown whether and how chromatin remodelling regulates the phenotypic plasticity of microglia and exerts what kind of effects on NSPCs.
methodsWe investigated the role of chromatin accessibility in microglia by deleting chromatin remodelling gene Arid1a using microglia-specific Cx3cr1-cre and Cx3cr1-CreERT2 mice. RNA-seq and ATAC-seq were performed to dissect the molecular mechanisms. In addition, we examined postnatal M1/M2 microglia polarization and analysed neuronal differentiation of NSPCs. Finally, we tested the effects of microglial Arid1a deletion on mouse behaviours.
resultsIncreased chromatin accessibility upon Arid1a ablation resulted in enhanced M1 microglial polarization and weakened M2 polarization, which led to abnormal neurogenesis and anxiety-like behaviours. Switching the polarization state under IL4 stimulation could rescue abnormal neurogenesis, supporting an essential role for chromatin remodeler ARID1A in balancing microglial polarization and brain functions.
conclusionsOur study identifies ARID1A as a central regulator of microglia polarization, establishing a mechanistic link between chromatin remodelling, neurogenesis and mouse behaviours, and highlights the potential development of innovative therapeutics exploiting the innate regenerative capacity of the nervous system.
