Dendrimer–tesaglitazar conjugate induces a phenotype shift of microglia and enhances ?-amyloid phagocytosis

چکیده
Switching microglia from a disease exacerbating, ‘pro-inflammatory’ state into neuroprotective, ‘anti-inflammatory’ phenotype is promising strategy for addressing multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

VIP Enhances Phagocytosis of Fibrillar Beta-Amyloid by Microglia and Attenuates Amyloid Deposition in the Brain of APP/PS1 Mice
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a multifunctional neuropeptide with demonstrated immunosuppressive and neuroprotective activities. It has been shown to inhibit Amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced neurodegeneration by indirectly suppressing the production and release of a variety of inflammatory and neurotoxic factors by activated microglia. We demonstrated that VIP markedly increased microglial ph...
متن کاملCX3CR1 in microglia regulates brain amyloid deposition through selective protofibrillar amyloid-β phagocytosis.
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits are frequently surrounded by activated microglia but the precise role of these cells in disease progression remains unclear. The chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is selectively expressed in microglia and is thought to modulate their activity. To study the specific effects of microglia activation on amyloid pathology in vivo, we crossbred mice lackin...

Antibody-mediated phagocytosis of the amyloid beta-peptide in microglia is differentially modulated by C1q.
Microglial ingestion of the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) has been viewed as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease, in that approaches that enhance clearance of Abeta relative to its production are predicted to result in decreased senile plaque formation, a proposed contributor to neuropathology. In vitro, scavenger receptors mediate ingestion of fibrillar Abeta (fAbeta) by microglia. Howe...
متن کاملNeuronal Death Induced by Nanomolar Amyloid β Is Mediated by Primary Phagocytosis of Neurons by Microglia*
Alzheimer disease is characterized by neuronal loss and brain plaques of extracellular amyloid β (Aβ), but the means by which Aβ may induce neuronal loss is not entirely clear. Although high concentrations of Aβ (μM) can induce direct toxicity to neurons, we find that low concentration (nM) induce neuronal loss through a microglia-mediated mechanism. In mixed neuronal-glial cultures from rat ce...
