Microglia are critical for amyloid-beta peptide (A beta)-mediated neuronal perturbation relevant to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. We demonstrate that overexpression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in imbroglio exaggerates neuroinflammation, as evidenced by increased proinflammatory mediator production, A beta accumulation, impaired learning/ memory, and neurotoxicity in an A beta rich environment. Transgenic (Tg) mice expressing human mutant APP (mAPP) in neurons and RAGE in microglia displayed enhanced IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha production, increased infiltration of microglia and astrocytes, accumulation of A beta, reduced acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity, and accelerated deterioration of spatial learning/ memory. Notably, introduction of a signal transduction- defective mutant RAGE (DN-RAGE) to microglia attenuates deterioration induced by A beta. These findings indicate that RAGE signaling in microglia contributes to the pathogenesis of an inflammatory response that ultimately impairs neuronal function and directly affects amyloid accumulation. We conclude that blockade of microglial RAGE may have a beneficial effect on A beta-mediated neuronal perturbation relevant to AD pathogenesis.-Fang, F., Lue, L.-F., Yan, S., Xu, H., Luddy, J.
