摘要

There is increasing evidence of microglia participation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which incentives their modulation to intercept the disease. Here, we describe a new mechanism by which the recently AD-associated Peptidase M20 Domain Containing 1 (PM20D1) instructs microglia to tackle AD. We show that the PM20D1-derived N-oleoyl-Leucine (OLE) improves AD pathologies in two animal models of AD. OLE induces microglia association with amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, reduce their size, number and toxicity, and leads to enhanced neuroprotection and cognition. Furthermore, OLE also increases Aβ chemotaxis and clearance in microglia cultures and enhances cell viability in neurons subjected to AD-related stressors. Finally, we also find evidence for a PM20D1- and OLE-mediated microglia association with amyloid plaques and neuroprotection in human AD brains. In sum, our results provide further insight into the protective role of PM20D1 in AD and support the use of OLE as a microglia-modifying treatment for AD.
