Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease

Michael T. Heneka, +41 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The microglial sensome revealed by direct RNA sequencing

TL;DR: It is found that microglia have a distinct transcriptomic signature and express a unique cluster of transcripts encoding proteins for sensing endogenous ligands and microbes that are referred to as the sensome and aging was associated with an overall increase in the expression of microglial genes involved in neuroprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial dysfunction and defective β-amyloid clearance pathways in aging Alzheimer’s disease mice

TL;DR: Although early microglial recruitment promotes Aβ clearance and is neuroprotective in AD, as disease progresses, proinflammatory cytokines produced in response to Aβ deposition downregulate genes involved in A β clearance and promote Aβ accumulation, therefore contributing to neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia in neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: The immune checkpoints that control microglial functions are considered and how their imbalance and subsequent neuroinflammation leads to neurodegeneration is discussed.
