Huntingtin (HTT) defects as caused by the mutations that drive Huntington’s disease (HD) foster a robust neuroinflammatory process involving microglial cells as well as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes that is often associated with a TH17-polarized CD4+ T cell response dominated by the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin 8 (IL8), IL17A and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
