This hypothesis proposes that mitochondrial dysfunction in microglia creates a pathological coupling between SPP1 secretion and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, establishing a self-perpetuating cycle of neurodegeneration. Specifically, damaged mitochondria release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including mitochondrial DNA and cardiolipin that simultaneously trigger NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and upregulate SPP1 expression through NF-κB signaling. The secreted SPP1 then acts as an au
# 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
