Isoform- and cell-state-specific lipidation of ApoE in astrocytes

Karina Lindner et al.

Summary: Apolipoprotein E produces different types of lipoproteins, with the APOE4 variant being more likely to form triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. APOE4 astrocytes have reduced ability to clear toxic fatty acids from the extracellular environment.

Microglia facilitate repair of demyelinated lesions via post-squalene sterol synthesis

Stefan A. Berghoff et al.

Summary: The study reveals that sterol synthesis in microglia/macrophages is crucial for resolving inflammation and inducing remyelination in the repair of demyelinated lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS), with desmosterol activating LXR signaling as a key mechanism.

A structure of human Scap bound to Insig-2 suggests how their interaction is regulated by sterols

Renhong Yan et al.

Summary: The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) pathway is controlled by membrane-embedded sterol sensors Scap, Insig-1 and Insig-2, with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) serving as a master switch. Cryo-electron microscopy analysis revealed the structure of the human Scap and Insig-2 complex in the presence of 25HC, showing the critical role of 25HC binding and Insig association in regulating the pathway.

A Proinflammatory Stimulus Disrupts Hippocampal Plasticity and Learning via Microglial Activation and 25-Hydroxycholesterol

Yukitoshi Izumi et al.

Summary: Inflammatory cells synthesize and release the oxysterol 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), which has antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. Activation of innate immunity by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects 25HC production in microglia and influences CA1 hippocampal synaptic plasticity and learning. 25HC serves as a key modulator of synaptic plasticity and memory under proinflammatory stimuli.

APOE4 disrupts intracellular lipid homeostasis in human iPSC-derived glia

Grzegorz Sienski et al.

Summary: The APOE gene's E4 allele is a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and Alzheimer's disease, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood. A study found that APOE4 disrupted cellular lipidomes, leading to increased unsaturation of fatty acids and intracellular lipid droplet accumulation. Supplementation with choline restored the cellular lipidome in APOE4-expressing cells, suggesting that manipulating lipid metabolism could be a therapeutic approach for individuals with the APOE4 allele.

Cholesterol Dysmetabolism in Alzheimer's Disease: A Starring Role for Astrocytes?

Erica Staurenghi et al.

Summary: The impairment of cholesterol metabolism has been intensively investigated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly the role of cholesterol oxidation products oxysterols. Astrocytes play a crucial role in maintaining brain cholesterol homeostasis, delivering cholesterol to neurons and modulating synaptic transmission. The morphological and functional changes of astrocytes in the AD brain contribute to the onset and development of AD, but the extent of this contribution and the role of oxysterols are still unclear.

Microglia in Alzheimer's disease at single-cell level. Are there common in humans and mice?

Yun Chen et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the activation of microglia in response to amyloid beta peptides and tau aggregates, leading to the conversion of homeostatic microglia into disease-associated microglia. Different populations of reactive microglia have been identified, suggesting that microglia play a critical role in disease progression. Further research into the impact of microglia in AD pathogenesis is needed to better understand the parallels and discrepancies between human and mouse models.

Overexpressing low-density lipoprotein receptor reduces tau-associated neurodegeneration in relation to apoE-linked mechanisms

Yang Shi et al.

Summary: Overexpressing the LDLR metabolic receptor in P301S tauopathy mice reduces brain apoE levels and improves tau pathology and neurodegeneration. This leads to enhanced catabolism in microglial immunometabolism and preservation of myelin integrity under neurodegenerative conditions. Additionally, LDLR-overexpressing mice show less reactive astrocyte activation in tauopathy.
