Abstract
Alzheimer´s disease (AD) stands out as the most common chronic neurodegenerative disorder. AD is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss, with neurodegeneration as its primary pathological feature. The role of neuroinflammation in the disease course has become a focus of intense research. While microglia, the brain’s resident macrophages, have been pivotal to study central immune inflammation, recent evidence underscores the contributions of other cellular entities to the neuroinflammatory process. In this article, we review the inflammatory role of microglia and astrocytes, focusing on their interactions with AD’s core pathologies, amyloid beta deposition, and tau tangle formation. Additionally, we also discuss how different modes of regulated cell death in AD may impact the chronic neuroinflammatory environment. This review aims to highlight the evolving landscape of neuroinflammatory research in AD and underscores the importance of considering multiple cellular contributors when developing new therapeutic strategies.
阿尔茨海默病（AD）是最常见的慢性神经退行性疾病。阿尔茨海默病的主要病理特征是进行性认知能力下降和记忆力减退，神经变性是其主要病理特征。神经炎症在发病过程中的作用已成为研究的热点。虽然小胶质细胞--大脑中的常驻巨噬细胞--在研究中枢免疫炎症中起着关键作用，但最近的证据强调了其他细胞实体对神经炎症过程的贡献。在本文中，我们回顾了小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞的炎症作用，重点探讨了它们与 AD 核心病理、淀粉样蛋白 beta 沉积和 tau 纠结形成之间的相互作用。此外，我们还讨论了 AD 中不同的细胞死亡调控模式如何影响慢性神经炎症环境。这篇综述旨在突出 AD 神经炎症研究不断发展的现状，并强调在开发新的治疗策略时考虑多种细胞因素的重要性。
期刊介绍：
Acta Neuropathologica publishes top-quality papers on the pathology of neurological diseases and experimental studies on molecular and cellular mechanisms using in vitro and in vivo models, ideally validated by analysis of human tissues. The journal accepts Original Papers, Review Articles, Case Reports, and Scientific Correspondence (Letters). Manuscripts must adhere to ethical standards, including review by appropriate ethics committees for human studies and compliance with principles of laboratory animal care for animal experiments. Failure to comply may result in rejection of the manuscript, and authors are responsible for ensuring accuracy and adherence to these requirements.
