Possible Involvement of Small Oligomers of Amyloid-β Peptides in 15-Deoxy-Δ 12,14 Prostaglandin J2-Sensitive Microglial Activation

In Alzheimer’s disease, fibrillar amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides form senile plaques associated with microglia. However, the relationship between Aβ peptides and microglia is not fully understood. In this study, the incubation of Aβ1-40 (Aβ40) produced small oligomers, while incubation with Aβ1-42 (Aβ42) c...
