Functional studies of missense TREM2 mutations in human stem cell-derived microglia

ABSTRACT: The derivation of microglia from human pluripotent stem cells provides systems for understanding microglial biology and enables functional studies of neurological disease-causing mutations. We describe a robust method for the derivation and maintenance of microglia from human stem cells, which are phenotypically and functionally comparable to primary human microglia. We used stem cell-derived microglia to study the consequences of missense mutations in the microglial-expressed protein Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), which are causal for a frontotemporal dementia-like (FTD-like) syndrome and Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD). While many ligands and functions for TREM2 have been described, it is not known how TREM2 signalling dysregulation affects specific elements of microglial biology to influence disease pathogenesis. We find that mutant TREM2 accumulates in its immature form, does not undergo typical proteolysis, and is not properly trafficked to the plasma membrane of patient-derived microglia. However, in the absence of plasma membrane TREM2, microglia differentiate normally, respond to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, and are phagocytically competent. These data indicate that dementia-associated TREM2 mutations have subtle effects on microglia biology, consistent with the late adult-onset of disease in individuals with these mutations.

Single nucleus analysis of post-mortem brain tissues from Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD) patients

Project description:The TREM2-DAP12 receptor complex sustains microglia functions. Heterozygous TREM2 variants subtly impair microglia, facilitating manifestation of Alzheimer’s Disease in the elderly. Homozygous inactivating mutations of TREM2 or DAP12 cause Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), an early-onset dementia with leukoencephalopathy, myelin loss and gliosis. Here we investigated the impact of DAP12 deficiency in microglia and collateral damage to other brain cells by single-nucleus RNA-seq in NHD patients and DAP12 loss-of-function (KΔ75) mice. KΔ75 mice showed signatures of impaired microglia activation that reverberated in mild dysfunction of other brain cells. Paradoxically, NHD microglia were activated and associated with astrocytosis, hypoxia, and neuronal loss signatures. We envision that KΔ75 signatures recapitulate an early NHD stage in which DAP12-deficient microglia fail to clear toxic products generated during brain development and homeostasis. Conversely, NHD signatures reflect a late disease stage in which accumulated toxic products cause a widespread tissue damage that elicits TREM2-DAP12-independent microgliosis, astrogliosis, hypoxia, and neuronal death. This TREM2-DAP12-independent microglia activation in NHD has bearing on potential microglia-based therapies.

Transcriptome analysis of the Nasu-Hakola disease brain

Project description:Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), also designated polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL; OMIM 221770), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by progressive presenile dementia and formation of multifocal bone cysts, caused by genetic mutations of DAP12 and TREM2, which constitute a receptor/adapter signaling complex expressed on osteoclasts, dendritic cells, macrophages, and microglia. No Japanese patients with TREM2 mutations have been reported previously. We reported three siblings affected with NHD in a Japanese family. Among them, two died of NHD during the fourth decade of life. The transcriptome was studied in the autopsized brain of one patient. We found a homozygous conversion of a single nucleotide T to C at the second position of intron 3 in the splice-donor consensus site (c.482+2T>C) of the TREM2 gene, resulting in exon 3 skipping. We identified 136 upregulated genes involved in inflammatory response and immune cell trafficking and 188 downregulated genes including a battery of GABA receptor subunits and synaptic proteins in the patient’s brain. Total RNA was isolated from a small piece of autopsized frozen frontal lobe tissues of the patient. In parallel, the normal human frontal lobe RNA (636563; Clontech) was processed for serving as a control. Microarray analysis was performed on Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix). The CEL file data were normalized by the robust multiarray average (RMA) method.

Dap12 microglia

Project description:Polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) is an inherited brain and bone disease. It manifests as dementia and bone fractures. The PLOSL phenotype is caused by loss-of-function mutations in one of the two genes encoding the components of the DAP12/TREM2 receptor complex. The DAP12/TREM2 complex is expressed in cells of the myeloid lineage, including microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). The molecular mechanisms producing the CNS phenotype of PLOSL remain largely unknown. To gain insight into dysfunctional CNS pathways behind PLOSL, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of Dap12 (Tyrobp)-deficient mouse microglial cells. Keywords: knock-out response Transcript profiles of three wild type and three Dap12-deficient primary microglial cultures were analyzed.

TREM2 regulates microglial cell activation in response to demyelination in vivo

Project description:Microglia are phagocytic cells that survey the brain and perform neuroprotective functions in response to tissue damage, but their activating receptors are largely unknown. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a microglial immunoreceptor whose loss-of-function mutations in humans cause presenile dementia, while genetic variants are associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In myeloid cells, TREM2 has been involved in the regulation of phagocytosis, cell proliferation and inflammatory responses in vitro. However, it is unknown how TREM2 contributes to microglia function in vivo. Here, we identify a critical role for TREM2 in the activation and function of microglia during cuprizone (CPZ)-induced demyelination. TREM2-deficient (TREM2(-/-)) mice had defective clearance of myelin debris and more axonal pathology, resulting in impaired clinical performances compared to wild-type (WT) mice. TREM2(-/-) microglia proliferated less in areas of demyelination and were less activated, displaying a more resting morphology and decreased expression of the activation markers MHC II and inducible nitric oxide synthase as compared to WT. Mechanistically, gene expression and ultrastructural analysis of microglia suggested a defect in myelin degradation and phagosome processing during CPZ intoxication in TREM2(-/-) microglia. These findings place TREM2 as a key regulator of microglia activation in vivo in response to tissue damage. Two STAGE (6weeks 12 weeks),

Gene expression profile of THP-1 monocytes following knockdown of DAP12, a causative gene for Nasu-Hakola disease

Project description:Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), also designated polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive presenile dementia and formation of multifocal bone cysts, caused by a loss-of-function mutation of DAP12 or TREM2. TREM2 and DAP12 constitute a receptor/adaptor complex expressed on osteoclasts, dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, and microglia. At present, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying development of leukoencephalopathy and bone cysts in NHD remain largely unknown. We established THP-1 human monocyte clones that stably express small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting DAP12 for serving as a cellular model of NHD. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis identified a set of 22 genes consistently downregulated in DAP12 knockdown cells. They constituted the molecular network closely related to the network defined by cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, hematological system development and function, and inflammatory response, where NF-kappaB acts as a central regulator. These results suggest that a molecular defect of DAP12 in human monocytes deregulates the gene network pivotal for maintenance of myeloid cell function in NHD. The siRNA vector construct targeting the DAP12 sequence (SI) and the control vector construct targeting the scrambled sequence (SCR) were generated by using GeneClip U1 Hairpin cloning system (Promega). The vectors were transfected in THP-1 cells by using Lipofectamine LTX reagent. The stable cell lines were selected by incubating them for approximately two months in the feeding medium with inclusion of 200 microgram/ml Hygromycin B. Then, two SI clones named SI5 and SI17, in addition to two SCR clones named SCR1 and SCR4, were selected by limiting dilution of the cells in a manner of a single cell per well plated in a 96-well cell culture plate.

TREM2 interacts with TDP-43 and mediates microglial neuroprotection against TDP-43-related neurodegeneration

Project description:Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) is linked to neurodegenerative disease risk. However, the function of TREM in neurodegeneration is still unclear. Here we investigated the role of microglial TREM2 in TAR-DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43)-related neurodegeneration using viral-mediated and transgenic mouse models. We found that TREM2 deficiency impaired phagocytic clearance of pathological TDP-43 by microglia, and enhanced neuronal damage and motor impairments. Mass cytometry analysis revealed that hTDP-43 induced a TREM2-dependent subpopulation of microglia with high CD11c expression and phagocytic ability. Using mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonance analysis, we further demonstrated an interaction between TDP-43 and TREM2 in vitro and in vivo as well as in ALS patient tissues. We computationally identified the region within hTDP-43 that interacts with TREM2. Our data highlights that TDP-43 is a possible ligand for microglial TREM2 and that this interaction mediates neuroprotection effects of microglia in TDP-43-related neurodegeneration.

TREM2 haploinsufficiency impairs microglia’s response to injury and exacerbates tau pathology in a tauopathy mouse model [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates, as well as microgliosis. The link between mutations in Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2), a microglia-expressed gene, and the increased risk for developing late-onset AD suggests a detrimental role for microglia in disease pathophyioslogy. Hemizygous TREM2 mutations are posited to increase risk for AD through loss-of-function haploinsufficiency. The effects of TREM2 haploinsufficiency on tau pathology and tau-associated deficits have not yet been characterized. Using in vivo imaging, we showed that TREM2 haploinsufficiency, but not complete loss of TREM2, resulted in a striking agedependent impairment in microglia’s response to injury without affecting baseline motility. This TREM2-dependent effect on microglial motility is consistent with transcriptomic alterations in cell motility uncovered with unbiased RNAsequencing analysis. Moreover, TREM2 haploinsufficiency, but not complete loss of TREM2, exacerbated phosphorylated tau pathology in transgenic mice expressing mutant human tau. In addition, TREM2 haploinsufficiency increased tau inclusions and tau-mediated inflammation without further exacerbating neuronal loss. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that TREM2 haploinsufficiency induces deficits in a tauopathy mouse model, supporting the notion that the hemizygous missense variant results in loss-of-function.
