This hypothesis proposes that CYP2J2-derived DHA epoxides primarily function by promoting microglial M2 polarization rather than directly protecting synaptic membranes from Aβ-induced rigidification. Microglia are the primary phagocytic cells responsible for Aβ clearance, and their dysfunction contributes significantly to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Evidence suggests that DHA epoxides, particularly 19,20-EpDPE, activate PPAR-γ signaling pathways that promote anti-inflammatory M2 microglial
This hypothesis proposes that CYP2J2-generated DHA epoxides act as endogenous LXRβ agonists, creating a synergistic mechanism for synaptic protection against Alzheimer's disease pathology. DHA epoxides produced by CYP2J2 metabolism serve a dual function: directly protecting synaptic membranes from Aβ-induced rigidification through membrane incorporation, while simultaneously activating LXRβ signaling to enhance APOE lipidation and cholesterol efflux. This creates a positive feedback loop where D
