The immune modulatory cyclooxygenase/prostaglandin E2 (COX/PGE2) pathway has been implicated in preclinical AD development, both in human epidemiology studies1 and in transgenic rodent models of AD2, 3. PGE2 signals through four G-protein-coupled receptors, including the EP2 receptor that has been investigated for its role in mediating the inflammatory and phagocytic responses to Aβ4. To identify transcriptional differences in microglia lacking the EP2 receptor, we examined mice with EP2 conditionally deleted in Cd11b-expressing immune cells. We injected Aβ peptides or saline vehicle into the brains of adult mice, isolated primary microglia, and analyzed RNA expression by microarray. The resulting datasets were analyzed in two studies5, 6, one describing the basal status of microglia with or without EP2 deletion, and the second study analyzing the microglial response to Aβ. Here we describe in detail the experimental design and data analyses.
