Abstract

Knockout of Dectin-1 reduced Aβ1-42-induced microglial activation and cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease mice.

  • Dectin-1 on microglia mediates pro-inflammatory responses to beta-amyloid.
  • Deletion of Dectin-1 led to decreased inflammatory responses in Aβ-infused Alzheimer’s disease mice.
  • Aβ can bind to Dectin-1, triggering a signaling pathway that activates inflammation.
  • Activation of the spleen tyrosine kinase/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway is associated with increased expression of inflammatory factors.
  • These findings highlight Dectin-1's role in microglial activation related to Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
