T cell mediated microglia activation triggers myelin pathology in a model of amyloidosis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Age-related myelin damage induces inflammatory responses, yet its involvement in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains uncertain, despite age being a major risk factor. Using a mouse model of AD, we found that amyloidosis itself triggers age-related oligodendrocyte and myelin damage. Mechanistically, CD8+ T cells promote the progressive accumulation of abnormally interferon-activated microglia that display myelin-damaging activity. Thus, immune responses against myelinating oligodendrocytes may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases with amyloidosis.
