Perinatal cytokines, particularly IL-6, may induce lasting CpG methylation at the CX3CR1 promoter through mechanisms including altered DNA methyltransferase activity (PMID:22580505). This could reduce microglial CX3CR1 expression, disrupting fractalkine signaling, impairing surveillance, and potentially removing the neuronal 'off signal,' leading to chronic neurotoxic microglial phenotypes in aging. Supporting this, CX3CR1 deficiency in mice worsens excitotoxicity and Alzheimer disease-related p

**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The fractalkine/CX3CR1 signaling axis represents a critical communication pathway between neurons and microglia that maintains homeostatic brain function through precise regulation of microglial activity states. Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is a unique chemokine that exists in both membrane-bound and soluble forms, with the membrane-bound form serving as the primary ligand for the CX3CR1 receptor exclusively expressed on microglia in the central nervous system.
