Neuronal APOE4 drives damaging lipid accumulation via contact-dependent neuron-oligodendrocyte-microglia interaction in Alzheimer's disease

Min Joo Kim, Jessica R. Blumenfeld, Yaqiao Li, Oscar Yip, Leon Yao, Stephanie Ancheta, Samuel De Leon, Zoe Platow, Zherui Liang, David M. Shostak, Kaylie Suan, Yanxia Hao, Nicole Koutsodendris, Claire Ellis, Jeremy Nguyen, Yadong Huang

This study shows neuronal APOE4 drives lipid accumulation in AD through neuron-oligodendrocyte-microglia interactions, with microglia showing preferential lipid buildup.

Neuronal APOE4 alone is sufficient to drive tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model

Jessica R. Blumenfeld, Yaqiao Li, Min Joo Kim, Oscar Yip, Leon Yao, Samuel De Leon, Rebecca Fulthorpe, David M. Shostak, Zoe Platow, Kaylie Suan, Yanxia Hao, Nicole Koutsodendris, Claire Ellis, Jeremy Nguyen, Yadong Huang

This study shows neuronal APOE4 alone can drive tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation in a mouse model, similar to a human APOE4 knock-in model.
