The astrocyte-mediated synaptic tagging mechanism operates through coordinated CREB1, S100B, and RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) signaling to regulate synaptic maintenance and protection. Neural activity triggers calcium waves in astrocytes through connexin-43 gap junctions and purinergic P2Y1 receptor activation, leading to calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation. Activated CaMKII phosphorylates CREB1 at serine 133 in astrocytic nuclei, promoting t

CD33 overactivation shifts SPP1-mediated microglial response from restorative (disease-associated microglia pathway) to destructive (excessive synapse engulfment and inflammatory cytokine release). CD33 antagonism converts SPP1 signaling toward neuroprotection by blocking the inhibitory ITIM domain signaling that normally suppresses microglial phagocytosis of amyloid plaques while promoting aberrant synapse elimination. Unlike TREM2 which requires agonism to enhance beneficial microglial functio
