Previous studies have identified a crucial role of the gut microbiome in modifying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. However, mechanisms microbiome–brain interaction AD were so far unknown. Here, we identify microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids (SCFA) as microbial metabolites which promote Aβ deposition. Germ-free (GF) mice exhibit substantially reduced plaque load and markedly SCFA plasma concentrations; conversely, supplementation to GF increased levels conventionally colonized (specific pathogen-free [SPF]) animals SPF even further exacerbated load. This was accompanied by pronounced alterations microglial transcriptomic profile, including upregulation ApoE. Despite recruitment plaques upon supplementation, microglia contained less intracellular Aβ. Taken together, our results demonstrate that are critical mediators along gut-brain axis deposition likely via modulation phenotype.

The microbes transform metabolize dietary- host-derived molecules generating diverse group metabolites local systemic effects. bi-directional communication between brain residing gut, so-called gut–brain axis, consists network immunological, neuronal, endocrine signaling pathways. Although full variety mechanisms crosstalk is yet to be established, existing data demonstrates that single metabolite or its derivatives are likely among key inductors within axis communication.
