This hypothesis proposes that circulating hs-CRP directly recruits CCR2+ monocytes to the CNS through upregulation of CCL2 signaling, where these infiltrating monocytes then amplify microglial IL-1β production via the TLR4/MyD88 axis, ultimately disrupting CNS immune privilege. The mechanism begins with elevated hs-CRP binding to microglial TLR4 receptors, triggering MyD88-dependent signaling that not only increases local IL-1β production but also upregulates CCL2 expression.
