INPP5D deficiency attenuates amyloid pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: Inositol polyphosphate‐5‐phosphatase (INPP5D) is a microglia‐enriched lipid phosphatase in the central nervous system. A non‐coding variant (rs35349669) in INPP5D increases the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and elevated INPP5D expression is associated with increased plaque deposition. INPP5D negatively regulates signaling via several microglial cell surface receptors, including triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2); however, the impact of INPP5D inhibition on AD pathology remains unclear. Methods: We used the 5xFAD mouse model of amyloidosis to assess how Inpp5d haplodeficiency regulates amyloid pathogenesis. Results: Inpp5d haplodeficiency perturbs the microglial intracellular signaling pathways regulating the immune response, including phagocytosis and clearing of amyloid beta (Aβ). It is important to note that Inpp5d haploinsufficiency leads to the preservation of cognitive function. Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealed that pathways altered by Inpp5d haploinsufficiency are related to synaptic regulation and immune cell activation. Conclusion: These data demonstrate that Inpp5d haplodeficiency enhances microglial functions by increasing plaque clearance and preserves cognitive abilities in 5xFAD mice. Inhibition of INPP5D is a potential therapeutic strategy for AD.

TL;DR
In 5xFAD mice, Inpp5d haplodeficiency reduced amyloid plaque burden and dystrophic neurites, increased microglial Aβ uptake and plaque engagement, and preserved working memory at 6 months. These protective effects were accompanied by TREM2-SYK activation and altered microglial/spatial transcriptomic pathways, suggesting INPP5D inhibition as a potential AD therapeutic strategy.
Key findings
- Inpp5d haplodeficiency prevented the 6-month cognitive deficit in 5xFAD mice: 5xFAD mice showed reduced spontaneous alternation versus controls, which was absent in Inpp5d−/+:5xFAD animals (n = 20–24 per genotype; p < 0.0001).
- Inpp5d haplodeficiency reduced diffuse 6E10+ plaques and dense-core X34+ plaques in cortex and hippocampus and decreased LAMP1+ dystrophic neurites (n = 7 per genotype; p < 0.0001). In the subiculum, it reduced the proportion of diffuse plaques and modestly increased the proportion of dense-core plaques.
- Primary microglia from Inpp5d−/+:B6 mice showed significantly increased fluorescent Aβ1–42 uptake versus Inpp5d+/+:B6 microglia (n = 5 per condition; p < 0.0001), and Inpp5d-haplodeficient 5xFAD mice showed increased Iba1+ and P2RY12+ microglial engagement with X34+ dense-core plaques (n = 6 per genotype; *p < 0.05, *p < 0.001, p < 0.0001).
- Cortical cytokines showed decreased IFN-γ, IL-1β, and TNF-α and increased IL-10 in Inpp5d-haplodeficient animals (n = 6 per genotype; *p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.0001); TREM2 expression and SYK phosphorylation were increased, along with microglia-associated genes including Csf1r, Cx3cr1, Ctsd, Cd68, and Mafb. Spatial transcriptomics revealed altered pathways related to protein digestion, synaptic plasticity, calcium signaling, cytokine production, and memory.
Methods
- 5xFAD mice were crossed with Inpp5d-haplodeficient mice (Inpp5d−/+; 50% reduced Inpp5d expression) to generate a constitutive heterozygous knockout; experimental groups were Inpp5d+/+:B6, Inpp5d−/+:B6, Inpp5d+/+:5xFAD, and Inpp5d−/+:5xFAD, comprising both sexes. Complete knockout mice are not viable beyond 10–12 weeks.
- Behavioral working memory was assessed by spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze at 4 and 6 months; immunofluorescence used 6E10, X34, LAMP1, NeuN, Iba1, and P2RY12; primary microglial cultures were used for Aβ uptake; cortical cytokines were measured by MSD assay; immunoblotting measured TREM2 and phospho-/total SYK; NanoString nCounter and GeoMx spatial transcriptomics profiled gene expression.
- Data are mean ± SEM; analyses used Student’s t-test or non-parametric one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test, with p < 0.05 significant. Sample sizes included n = 20–24 per genotype for behavior, n = 7 per genotype for plaque density, n = 6 per genotype for microglia/cytokine/immunoblot, n = 3 per genotype for nCounter, and n = 6 per genotype for GeoMx; nCounter used hippocampal RNA from 7.5-month-old female mice, and spatial transcriptomics used 4-month-old animals.
Limitations
- Stated: future studies are necessary to confirm the mechanisms, and future work should examine Inpp5d in the context of normal APP expression and Aβ production as well as tau pathology. Complete knockout mice are not viable beyond 10–12 weeks, so the study used haplodeficiency.
- Stated: the authors note a discrepancy with a prior APP/PS1 study in which microglia-specific Inpp5d deletion increased hippocampal plaque burden; they suggest this may result from INPP5D’s role before amyloid deposition begins.
- Evident: findings rely on a single amyloidosis model (5xFAD) and constitutive haplodeficiency rather than conditional/temporal or other AD models; nCounter profiling used only female mice, limiting sex generalization.

Section 3.1 reports that Inpp5d haplodeficiency reduced both diffuse and dense-core plaques in the cortex and hippocampus of 5xFAD mice. The Discussion likewise reports an overall reduction in plaque density, contrary to the attributed finding of no change. (LLM, conf=0.92)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredOne mechanism by which SHIP1 deficiency increases the phagocytosis of lipid-rich substrates is through upregulation of TREM2 signaling.
“We confirmed that one mechanism by which SHIP1 deficiency increases the phagocytosis of lipid-rich substrates is through upregulation of TREM2 signaling (Figures 6D-G, S6E) in line with previous reports55,57.”

The TREM2-SYK results section reports increased TREM2 expression and SYK phosphorylation in Inpp5d-haplodeficient 5xFAD mice, and the Highlights report increased microglial amyloid uptake. But the Discussion explicitly calls TREM2 activation as the mechanism a postulate requiring confirmation; the paper does not establish that it causes increased phagocytosis of lipid-rich substrates.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Amyloid uptake concentration differs between methods and figure caption
MajorThe methods specify 0.5 μM labeled Aβ1-42, whereas the caption for the uptake experiment specifies 10 μM.
“aggregated at 37 • C for 5 days, 0.5 μM; AnaSpec, AS-20276”
“incubated with aggregates of fluorescently labeled fibrillar Aβ1-42 (10 μM, green) for 30 min.”
nCounter tissue is identified as hippocampus in methods but cortex in Figure 4
MajorThe methods say hippocampal RNA was used for nCounter profiling; Figure 4 describes the nCounter results as a comparison of cortices.
“Two hundred nanograms of hippocampal RNA from 7.5-month-old female mice were used for gene expression profiling with the nCounter mouse Alzheimer's Disease and Glial Profiling panels”
“between the cortices of 7.5-month-old female Inpp5d +/+ :5xFAD and Inpp5d -/+ :5xFAD mice analyzed by using the nCounter Alzheimer's Disease and Glial Profiling panels”

MinorThe enumeration contains nine cytokines, not 10.
“which quantifies 10 cytokines:”
“interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-14.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-14.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
