RESUMEN
Based on single-cell sequencing of the hippocampi of 5x familiar Alzheimer's disease(5x FAD)and wild type mice at 2-,12-,and 24-month of age,we found an increased percentage of microglia in aging and Alzheimer's disease(AD)mice.Blood brain barrier injury may also have contributed to this increase.Immune regulation by microglia plays a major role in the progression of aging and AD,according to the functions of 41 intersecting differentially expressed genes in microglia.Signaling crosstalk between C-C motif chemokine ligand(CCL)and major histocompatibility complex-1 bridges intercellular communi-cation in the hippocampus during aging and AD.The amyloid precursor protein(APP)and colony stimulating factor(CSF)signals drive 5x FAD to deviate from aging track to AD occurrence among intercellular communication in hippocampus.Microglia are involved in the progression of aging and AD can be divided into 10 functional types.The strength of the interaction among microglial subtypes weakened with aging,and the CCL and CSF signaling pathways were the fundamental bridge of communication among microglial subtypes.
RESUMEN
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are distributed throughout the central nervous system and can proliferate, migrate and differentiate into oligodendrocytes. The core function of oligodendrocytes is to produce myelin, form a myelin sheath, wrap the axons, and increase the conduction rate of neurons. Recent studies have shown that large numbers of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells exist in the lesions of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, and these cells play an important role in the repair of neurological damage. The physiological functions of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and their roles in neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease are reviewed in order to provide a new idea and direction for the research and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
