A narrow pre-symptomatic window exists (CDR 0) when HDAC2 enrichment at synaptic gene promoters remains reversible. Aβ oligomer-triggered CK2/Glutamate receptor signaling phosphorylates HDAC2 at S421/S423, locking it at chromatin before cognitive symptoms emerge. Intervention via HDAC2-selective inhibitors or CK2 inhibition during this window restores synaptic plasticity gene expression.
**Background and Rationale** TREM2 variants represent major genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, with loss-of-function mutations increasing dementia risk threefold. While TREM2 is exclusively expressed on microglia, emerging evidence suggests its primary pathogenic role occurs through disrupted astrocyte-microglia communication rather than intrinsic microglial dysfunction. Healthy brain homeostasis depends on coordinated responses between these glial populations, where TREM2+ microglia
