Senile plaques found in the Alzheimer's disease brain are foci of
local inflammatory reactions mediated by plaque-associated microglia.
The interaction of microglia with compacted deposits of -amyloid
(A ) fibrils results in the stimulation of intracellular Tyr
kinase-based signaling cascades and cellular activation, leading to the
secretion of proinflammatory molecules. This study identifies a cell
surface receptor complex that mediates the binding of microglia to A
fibrils and the subsequent activation of intracellular signaling pathways leading to a proinflammatory response. The receptor complex includes the B-class scavenger receptor CD36, the integrin-associated protein/CD47, and the 6 1-integrin.
Antagonists of scavenger receptors, CD36, CD47, and
6 1 inhibited the adhesion of THP-1 monocytes to A fibrils. In addition, peptide competitors of A fibril interactions with CD36, scavenger receptors, CD47, and the
6 1-integrin inhibited A stimulation of
Tyr kinase-based signaling cascades in both THP-1 monocytes and murine
microglia as well as interleukin 1 production. A scavenger receptor
antagonist and antibodies specific for CD36 and the
1-integrin subunit also inhibited the A -stimulated
generation of reactive oxygen species. Importantly, the principal
components of this receptor complex are shared with those for other
fibrillar proteins and thus represent general elements through which
myeloid lineage cells recognize complex fibrillar proteins.
Identification of the cell surface molecules that interact with A
fibrils and mediate their activation of intracellular signaling
cascades represents a potential intervention point in the treatment of
Alzheimer's disease.
