Alzheimer's-associated PU.1 expression levels regulate microglial inflammatory response
8 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
More than forty loci contribute to genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). These risk alleles are enriched in myeloid cell enhancers suggesting that microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, contribute to AD risk. We have previously identified SPI1/PU.1, a master regulator of myeloid cell development in the brain and periphery, as a genetic risk factor for AD. Higher expression of SPI1 is associated with...
