ABSTRACT Background The effectiveness of ultrasound stimulation in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been reported previous studies, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated effects on proportion and function microglia different phenotypes, as well levels inflammatory factors. Additionally, it revealed alterations proteomic molecules mouse hippocampus following treatment, aiming to uncover potential new molecular mechanisms. Methods Ultrasound was used stimulate for 30 min per day 5 days stimulation‐treated group. Amyloid plaque deposition measured using immunofluorescence staining. M1 M2 type were labeled immunofluorescent double staining, ratio calculated. Aβ42, IL‐10, TNF‐α determined ELISA kits. quantitative proteomics method employed explore changes hippocampal proteins. Results treatment reduced average fluorescence intensity amyloid plaques concentration Aβ42. Compared AD group, resulted a 14% reduction 12% increase microglia. anti‐inflammatory factor IL‐10 significantly increased Proteomics analysis 753 differentially expressed proteins between groups, with most being enriched oxidative phosphorylation pathway mitochondria. activity cytochrome c oxidase, involved phosphorylation, after treatment. Conclusions affects microglial polarization, reduces load, enhances factors APP/PS1 mice. reveals mechanism behind stimulation‐induced modulation polarization may be related mitochondrial phosphorylation.
