The role of cell surface tyrosine kinase collagen-activated receptors known as discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) is unknown in neurodegenerative diseases. We detect up-regulation in DDRs level in post-mortem Alzheimer and Parkinson brains. Lentiviral shRNA knockdown of DDR1 and DDR2 reduces the levels of α-synuclein, tau, and β-amyloid and prevents cell loss in vivo and in vitro. DDR1 and DDR2 knockdown alters brain immunity and significantly reduces the level of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-2 and microglia. These studies suggest that DDR1 and DDR2 inhibition is a potential target to clear neurotoxic proteins and reduce inflammation in neurodegeneration.
