Here, we present a pharmacological approach to mimic human DAM\n                  <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                  by exposing different human microglia models to selected histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. We also provide an initial functional characterization of our model system, showing a specific increase of amyloid beta phagocytosis along with a reduction of MCP-1 secretion. Additionally, we report an increase in\n                  <jats:italic>MITF<\/jats:italic>\n                  expression, a transcription factor previously described to drive expression towards the DAM phenotype.
