Abstract Studies in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington’s so on, have suggested that inflammation is not only a result of neurodegeneration but also crucial player this process. Protein aggregates which are very common pathological phenomenon can induce neuroinflammation further aggravates protein aggregation neurodegeneration. Actually, even happens earlier than aggregation. Neuroinflammation induced by genetic variations CNS cells or peripheral immune may deposition some susceptible population. Numerous signaling pathways range been to be involved the pathogenesis neurodegeneration, although they still far from being completely understood. Due limited success traditional treatment methods, blocking enhancing inflammatory considered promising strategies for therapy many them got exciting results animal models clinical trials.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder molecularly characterized by the formation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and type 2 microtubule-associated protein (Tau) abnormalities. Multiple studies have shown that many brain’s immunological cells, specifically microglia astrocytes, are involved in AD pathogenesis. Cells innate immune system play an essential role eliminating pathogens but also regulate brain homeostasis AD. When activated, cells can cause programmed cell death through multiple pathways, including pyroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, PANoptosis. The often results release proinflammatory cytokines propagate response eliminate Aβ aggregated Tau proteins. However, chronic neuroinflammation, which result from death, has been linked to diseases worsen Therefore, must be tightly balanced appropriately clear these AD-related structural abnormalities without inducing neuroinflammation.
