Age-dependent Nup358 degradation enables pathogenic protein import into the nucleus. Decreased Nup358 expression with aging leads to defective nuclear pore complex gating. This allows abnormal accumulation of disease proteins within the nucleoplasm where they can interact with splicing machinery and transcriptional regulators.
Imbalanced TREM2/CX3CR1 signaling drives microglial hyperactivation and impaired amyloid clearance. Loss of TREM2 activation combined with elevated CX3CL1-CX3CR1 signaling creates a pro-inflammatory microglial state resistant to transition to disease-associated microglia (DAM), preventing efficient phagocytosis of amyloid plaques while maintaining neurotoxic cytokine release.
