Alzheimer's disease (AD) is distinguished by extracellular accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of Tau. Pathogenic Tau species are also known to display "prion-like propagation," which explains their presence in extracellular spaces as well. Glial population, especially microglia, tend to proclaim neuroinflammatory condition, disrupted signaling mechanisms, and cytoskeleton deregulation in AD. Omega-3 fatty acids play a neuroprotective role in the brain, which can trigger the anti-inflammatory pathways as well as actin dynamics in the cells. Improvement of cytoskeletal assembly mechanism by omega-3 fatty acids would regulate the other signaling cascades in the cells, leading to refining clearance of extracellular protein burden in AD. In this study, we focused on analyzing the ability of α-linolenic acid (ALA) as a regulator of actin dynamics to balance the signaling pathways in microglia, including endocytosis of extracellular Tau burden in AD.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by progressive decline of memory and cognitive functions, and it is the leading cause of dementia accounting for 60%-80% of dementia patients. A pathological hallmark of AD is the accumulation of aberrant protein/peptide aggregates such as extracellular amyloid plaques containing amyloid-beta peptides and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. These aggregates result from the failure of the proteostasis network, which encompasses protein synthesis, folding, and degradation processes.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease associated with dementia and neuronal impairments in brain. AD is characterized histopathologically by two hallmark lesions: abnormally phosphorylated Tau inside neurons as intracellular NFTs and extracellular accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ). Furthermore, it is unable to clarify the distinction between the brief association between the development and build-up of Aβ and the commencement of illness.

Tau is a well-known microtubule-associated protein and is located in the cytoplasm of neurons, which play a crucial role in Alzheimer's diseases. Due to its preferred binding to DNA sequences found in the nucleolus and pericentromeric heterochromatin, Tau has been found within the cell nucleus, where it may be a nucleic acid-associated protein. Tau has the ability to directly interact with nuclear pore complex nucleoporins, influencing both their structural and functional integrity.

Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated to be implicated in AD pathogenesis by facilitating the propagation of Tau, amyloid-β and inflammatory cytokines. However, the impact of peripheral EVs (pEVs) in AD pathogenesis remains poorly investigated.
