LINE-1 RNA Provokes Inflammation to Contribute to Cognitive Dysfunction
Researchers identified plasma extracellular vesicle (EV) LINE‑1 RNA as a potent systemic aging factor that rises sharply with age and correlates with brain‑aging biomarkers. In mouse models, aged EVs cross the blood‑brain barrier, deliver LINE‑1 RNA to microglia, and activate the cGAS‑STING pathway, triggering neuroinflammation, neuronal damage, and cognitive impairment. Pharmacological inhibition of LINE‑1 reverse transcription with 3TC or blockade of STING with H151 markedly reverses these deficits. The study highlights peripheral tissues, especially brain and lung, as primary sources of pro‑aging EVs.
