NOT RECOMMENDED. Cell-type selectivity problem: CD11c is the canonical dendritic cell marker. Border-associated macrophages, meningeal DCs, and perivascular APCs all express CD11c. An ADC targeting CD11c would deplete these populations, impairing CNS immune surveillance. Mechanistic contradiction: PMID:30948433 shows TDP-43 drives CD11c+ expansion via TREM2, but TREM2 is hypothesized as protective—eliminating TREM2-activated cells is paradoxical. CD11c+ microglia in EAE show reparative signature
Gut dysbiosis leads to LPS translocation, triggering intestinal and systemic inflammation via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling, promoting α-synuclein pathology. The peripheral gut barrier is the most viable intervention point, though CNS microglial TLR4 activation remains mechanistically tenuous. Best therapeutic approach: zonulin antagonists (larazotide) for gut barrier restoration combined with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition rather than direct TLR4 blockade.
