Aβ-activated PDGFRβ+ pericytes secrete PDGF-BB, acting on nearby macrophages via PDGFRβ to induce STAT3-dependent SPP1 expression in a paracrine manner. This creates a cross-talk circuit between pericytes and macrophages amplifying SPP1 production from both cell types.
# Temporal SPP1 Inhibition During Critical Windows: Mechanistic Framework and Therapeutic Rationale
## Hypothesis Summary
Temporal SPP1 (Secreted Phosphoprotein 1, also known as Osteopontin) neutralization represents a precision-immunology strategy for intercepting neurodegeneration during mechanistically defined disease stages. Rather than continuous suppression of microglial activity, this approach proposes time-restricted blockade of SPP1 signaling through inducible biologics during windows
