Hyperammonemia and manganese accumulation in cirrhotic brains activate NRF2-mediated antioxidant response, which cross-suppresses pro-inflammatory genes including AIF1/IBA1 as part of a global transcriptional reprogramming. This hypothesis has the weakest mechanistic chain: NRF2-ARE signaling typically upregulates protective genes, and no mechanism for NRF2-mediated repression of homeostatic microglial genes is established.

In the established paradigm, microglia are primary drivers of neuroinflammation. However, oligodendrocyte-derived IL-6 may prime microglia through IL-6 trans-signaling (IL-6/sIL-6R/gp130), creating a self-reinforcing inflammatory loop. Blocking soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) specifically at the oligodendrocyte-microglia interface would interrupt this amplification circuit without globally suppressing IL-6, preserving its neuroprotective functions. This extends the SASP-complement cascade concept
