Amyloid β (Aβ) and/or ATP activates NLRP3 inflammasome (N3I) by P2 × 7R ion channel of microglia, which is crucial in neuroinflammation shown in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Due to polymorphisms, subtypes, and ubiquitous expression of P2 × 7R, inhibition of P2 × 7R has not been effective for AD. We first report that GPCR19 is a prerequisite for P2 × 7R-mediated N3I activation and Taurodeoxycholate (TDCA), a GPCR19 ligand, inhibited the priming phase of N3I activation, suppressed P2 × 7R expression and P2 × 7R-mediated Ca++ mobilization, and N3I oligomerization which is essential for production of IL-1β/IL-18. Further, TDCA increased expression of scavenger receptor (SR) A, enhanced phagocytosis of Aβ, and decreased Aβ plaque numbers in the brain of 5x Familial Alzheimer’s disease (5xFAD) mice. TDCA also reduced microgliosis, prevented neuronal loss, and improved memory function of 5xFAD mice. The pleiotropic roles of GPCR19 in P2 × 7-mediated N3I activation suggest that targeting GPCR19 might resolve neuroinflammation in AD patients.
