Abstract:Background
Microglial cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. We have previously shown that microglia activate the Hypoxia inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) signalling pathway in response to cerebral β‐amyloidosis in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s pathology (Wendeln et al., Nature, 2018). Importantly, we also found that activation of microglial HIF‐1α signalling correlated with disease severity and that HIF ‐1α levels were particularly elevated in plaque‐associated microglia.
