Different cellular and molecular changes underlie the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among these, neuron‐specific dysregulation is a necessary event for accumulation of classic pathologies including amyloid plaques. Here, we show that AD‐associated pathophysiology including neuronal cell death, inflammatory signaling, and endolysosomal dysfunction is spatially colocalized to amyloid plaques in regions with abnormal microRNA‐425 (miR‐425) levels and this change leads to focal brain microenvironment heterogeneity, that is, an amyloid plaque‐associated microenvironment (APAM). APAM consists of multiple specific neurodegenerative signature pathologies associated with senile plaques that contribute to the heterogeneity and complexity of AD. Remarkably, miR‐425, a neuronal‐specific regulator decreased in AD brain, maintains a normal spatial transcriptome within brain neurons. We tested the hypothesis that miR‐425 loss correlates with enhanced levels of mRNA targets downstream, supporting APAM and AD progression. A miR‐425‐deficient mouse model has enhanced APP amyloidogenic processing, neuroinflammation, neuron loss, and cognitive impairment. In the APP/PS1 mouse model, intervening with miR‐425 supplementation ameliorated APAM changes and memory deficits. This study reveals a novel mechanism of dysregulation of spatial transcriptomic changes in AD brain, identifying a probable neuronal‐specific microRNA regulator capable of staving off amyloid pathogenesis. Moreover, our findings provide new insights for developing AD treatment strategies with miRNA oligonucleotide(s).
