Within the pineal gland (PG), a key organ of the circadian timing system, microglia actively participate in its development and homeostasis. However, little is known about their rhythmic features in this circadian organ. This study aimed to elucidate morphological and functional phenotypes of pineal microglia at two time points of the L:D cycle. We performed immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy on paraffin\u2010embedded pineal sections from 3\u2010 and 18\u2010month\u2010old male Wistar rats, analyzing samples collected at midday (ZT6) and midnight (ZT18). In the 3\u2010month\u2010old PG, the density and spatial distribution of IBA1\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    microglial cells did not vary between ZT6 and ZT18. These cells exhibited a trend towards smaller sizes and amoeboid\u2010like shapes, along with a reduction in the expression of the phagocytosis inhibitor SIRP alpha, at ZT18 compared to ZT6. Moreover, IBA1\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells were immunoreactive for the lysosomal marker CD68 and the autophagic marker LC3B at both ZTs. Additionally, contacts with PAX6\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells were detected in the two ZTs analyzed. In the 18\u2010month\u2010old PG, IBA1\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells showed abolished rhythmicity in morphological parameters and SIRP alpha expression levels. Our findings suggest that pineal microglia undergo transitions into alerted states at night, characterized by enhanced phagocytic capacity and a smaller, more rounded morphology. This age\u2010dependent adaptation likely prepares them to respond to potential invading agents and other insults in the PG, which could impact the nocturnal melatonin production.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.70099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T09:51:03Z","timestamp":1764323463000},"page":"2913-2936","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rhythmic patterns in microglial cells within the circadian pineal gland from male rats"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"309","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5254-8145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos L.","family":"Freites","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Basic and Translational Neurobiology Institute of Histology and Embryology of Mendoza (IHEM), National University of Cuyo (UNCuyo), National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)  Mendoza Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8666-2595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Avila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Basic and Translational Neurobiology Institute of Histology and Embryology of Mendoza (IHEM), National University of Cuyo (UNCuyo), National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)  Mendoza Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan B.","family":"Amiotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Basic and Translational Neurobiology Institute of Histology and Embryology of Mendoza (IHEM), National University of Cuyo (UNCuyo), National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)  Mendoza Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6701-1535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Estela M.","family":"Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Basic and Translational Neurobiology Institute of Histology and Embryology of Mendoza (IHEM), National University of Cuyo (UNCuyo), National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)  Mendoza Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnmol.2017.00191"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5772\/intechopen.112361"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brainres.2019.146401"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M808394200"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mce.2011.07.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-079x.1993.tb00489.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/brv.12917"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jnc.15327"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jpi.12228"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/07487304231178950"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12974-015-0411-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/glia.23698"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.37.4.463"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2019.02647"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/ENEURO.0196-16.2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joa.13709"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mad.2021.111512"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.3441-12.2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0040142"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1474-9726.2010.00660.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.aba3239"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","first-page":"140","article-title":"Rat macrophage lysosomal membrane antigen recognized by monoclonal antibody ED1","volume":"83","author":"Damoiseaux J.
