Microglial Reactivity Correlates with Presynaptic Loss Independent of β‐Amyloid and Tau

Guoyu Lan,

et al.

Abstract: ObjectiveTriggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐2 (TREM2) and progranulin (PGRN) are critical regulators of microglia activation and can be detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, whether microglial reactivity is detrimental or neuroprotective for Alzheimer disease (AD) is still debatable.MethodsWe identified 663 participants with baseline β‐amyloid (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) and CSF biomarker data, including phosphorylated tau181 (p‐Tau181), soluble TREM2 (sTREM2), PGRN, and growt… Show more

“…Additionally, the correlation between CSF sTREM2 levels and p-tau is a reliable indicator of cognitive decline in older individuals ( Ewers et al, 2019 ). Research indicates that microglial activation accelerates tau protein deposition ( Pascoal et al, 2021 ), and an increase of p-tau181 level is associated with a more rapid increase in CSF sTREM2 ( Lan et al, 2024 ). Moreover, CSF sTREM2 levels fluctuate as AD progresses; Aβ pathology leads to decreased sTREM2 levels, while increases in sTREM2 are associated with Tau deposition ( Ma et al, 2020 ).…”

“…However, in later stages of the disease, when tau accumulation is visible, astrogliosis also contributes to synaptic damage ( Woo et al, 2023 ). Moreover, elevated levels of sTREM2 in the CSF have been independently associated with presynaptic loss, as evidenced by increased Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) levels, suggesting that sTREM2-mediated microglial reactivity might drive synaptic dysfunction independently of β-amyloid and tau pathologies ( Lan et al, 2024 ). Additionally, concentrations of various forms of sTREM2, reported in the CSF of AD patients, have been found to inhibit LTP independently of amyloid plaque presence and related pathology.…”
