In Alzheimer disease brains, the amyloid plaques are closely associated with a locally induced, nonimmune-mediated, chronic inflammatory response without any apparent influx of leukocytes from the blood. The present findings indicate that in cerebral A beta diseases (Alzheimer disease, Down syndrome, hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type), the clinical symptoms are determined to a great extent by the site of inflammatory response. It was found that the formation of the amyloid-microglia complex seems to be a relatively early pathogenic event that precedes the process of severe destruction of the neuropil. The idea that inflammation is implicated in Alzheimer pathology has received support from the epidemiologic studies indicating that the use of anti-inflammatory drugs can prevent or retard the Alzheimer disease process. In this contribution, we review the relationship between inflammation and clinical manifestation and the opportunities for anti-inflammatory treatments in Alzheimer disease.
