项目摘要

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable brain disorder, with a staggering human and financial cost in a rising aging population. The complexity of its pathophysiology has proven to be a daunting challenge in the development of effective pharmacological interventions. We have recently shown that noninvasive Gamma ENtrainment Using Sensory stimuli (GENUS) to induce neural oscillations in the gamma frequency range (30- 90 Hz) could ameliorate pathology in various AD mouse models. Mice subjected to GENUS regime exhibited positive effects on microglia, astrocytes, cerebral vasculature, as well as reduced accumulation of amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau in respective amyloid and tauopathy mouse models. However, the mechanisms by which GENUS impacts cell-cell interactions, in particular, interactions between neurons and microglia, are not clear. To this end, we will utilize a combination of AD mouse models and innovative iPSC 3D co-culture system to assess the role of microglia in modifying the GENUS response, focusing on the contributions of microglial AD risk genes, APOE and TREM2, in modulating the neuroimmune interactions in response to GENUS.

阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）是一种无法治愈的脑部疾病，人类和经济成本令人震惊人口老龄化。事实证明，其病理生理学的复杂性是一个艰巨的挑战开发有效的药理干预措施。我们最近表明无创伽玛使用感觉刺激（属）诱发诱导伽马频率范围内的神经振荡（30- 90 Hz）可以在各种AD小鼠模型中改善病理。受到属状态的小鼠表现出对小胶质细胞，星形胶质细胞，脑脉管系统以及淀粉样蛋白和淀粉样蛋白积累降低的积极影响在各个淀粉样蛋白和陶氏小鼠模型中的高磷酸化tau。但是，该机制通过哪个属影响细胞 - 细胞相互作用，特别是神经元与小胶质细胞之间的相互作用，不是清除。为此，我们将利用AD鼠标模型和创新的IPSC 3D共文化系统的组合评估小胶质细胞在修改属反应中的作用，重点是小胶质细胞AD的贡献风险基因，APOE和TREM2在调节响应属的神经免疫相互作用时。
