CC Chemokine Receptor 2 Deficiency Aggravates Cognitive Impairments and Amyloid Pathology in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
20 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Circulating monocytoid cells have the ability to infiltrate nervous tissue, differentiate into microglia, and clear amyloid-β (Aβ) from the brain of mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Interaction between the chemokine CCL2 and its CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) plays a critical role in the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into the injured/diseased brain. Here, we show that CCR2 deficiency aggravates mnesic...
