Research Abstract

As a new strategy for treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we aimed to induce the antiinflammatory activity we have in a living body. In particular, we tried to develop the strategy for which the neuroprotective anti-inflammatory type of microglia (type 2 MG) is utilized aggressively and searched the new medicine seeds which achieves this. When we administered an intracerebral microinjection of a mixture of IL-4 and IL-13 into one hemisphere of 4.5 mo old APP23 mice, CD36-positive MG was induced at 2 day, and A β accumulation was reduced at 7 day post injection. The cytokine-induced CD36 expression was observed in arginase I-positive and Ym1-positive cells, which indicates that CD36-positive MG are M2-like cells (Kawahara et al., submitted). We found that oral administration of retinoic acid receptor agonist Am80, which increased IL-4 production in T-cell system, decreased brain Aβ42 peptide in APP23 mice (Kawahara et al., Biol. Pharm. Bull., 2009). This study may encourage development of new anti-inflammatory strategies for treatment of AD.
