Transcriptomic analyses of NFT-containing neurons microdissected from postmortem AD brain revealed an expression profile consistent with cellular senescence. This complex stress response induces aberrant cell cycle activity, adaptations to maintain survival, cellular remodeling, and metabolic dysfunction PubMed:30126037
This complex stress response induces a near permanent cell cycle arrest, adaptations to maintain survival, cellular remodeling, metabolic dysfunction and disruption to surrounding tissue to the secretion of toxic molecules (Childs et al., 2016) PubMed:30126037
Recent work by Ulland et al. has also discovered an additional function of TREM2 in the maintenance of microglial macroautophagy and metabolism PubMed:29758300
TREM2 deficiency in an AD mouse model results in suppressed metabolic function in microglia through the dampening of the mTOR signaling pathway, which subsequently elicits a compensatory autophagic response to address the metabolic defect [109]. PubMed:29758300
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process whose primary task in lower organisms is the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in the face of changing nutrient availability [8]. PubMed:18930136
