Despite different initial triggers (LPS, β-amyloid, aging), primed microglia may converge on a common 'epigenetic priming signature' characterized by BRD4-occupied poised enhancers at NF-κB target genes (including TNF, IL1B, CCL2, and TREM2). This convergent chromatin remodeling would explain why BET inhibitors produce similar therapeutic effects regardless of priming stimulus, as they disrupt a shared downstream transcriptional amplifier rather than stimulus-specific upstream pathways. The test
Primed cells release extracellular vesicles containing miRNA signatures that epigenetically prime neighboring cells through intercellular communication
