Single-cell profiling of the myeloid landscape identifies cell subsets with distinct fates during neuroinflammation

ABSTRACT: The innate immune cell compartment is highly diverse in the healthy central nervous system (CNS) including parenchymal and non-parenchymal macrophages. However, this complexity is increased in inflammatory settings by the recruitment of circulating myeloid cells. It is unclear which disease-specific myeloid subsets exist and what their transcriptional profiles and dynamics during CNS pathology are. By combining deep single-cell transcriptome analysis, fate mapping, in vivo imaging, clonal analysis, and transgenic lines, we comprehensively characterized unappreciated myeloid subsets in several CNS compartments during neuroinflammation. During inflammation, CNS macrophage subsets undergo self-renewal, and random proliferation shifted towards clonal expansion. Finally, functional studies demonstrated that endogenous CNS tissue macrophages are redundant for antigen presentation. Our results highlight myeloid cell diversity and provide insights into the brain’s innate immune system.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of immune cells from the dura mater of naïve C57BL6/N mice and during different phases of EAE.

Project description:While macrophages in the meningeal compartments of the central nervous system (CNS) has been comprehensively characterized under steady state, studying their contribution to physiological and pathological processes has been severely hampered by the lack of specific targeting tools in vivo. Recent findings have shown that the dural sinus and its adjacent lymphatic vessels act as a neuroimmune interface. Notably, the cellular and functional heterogeneity of extrasinusoidal dural macrophages outside this immune hub is currently unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively characterized these cells using single-cell transcriptomics, fate mapping, confocal imaging, clonal analysis and transgenic mouse lines. Extrasinusoidal dural macrophages were clearly distinct from leptomeningeal and CNS parenchymal macrophages in terms of their origin, expansion kinetics and transcriptional profiles. Lastly, functional studies demonstrated that during autoimmune neuroinflammation, extrasinusoidal dural macrophages perform efferocytosis of granulocytes. Our results highlight a previously unappreciated myeloid cell diversity and provide insights into the brain’s innate immune system.

RNA sequencing data of CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) isolated from brains of Mrc1-CreERT2 mice

Project description:All tissue resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), including parenchymal microglia as well as CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) such as meningeal (mMF) and perivascular macrophages (pvMF) are part of the CNS endogenous innate immune system that acts as the first line of defense during infections or trauma. It has been suggested that microglia and all CAM subsets are derived from prenatal cellular sources in the yolk sac that were defined as early erythromyeloid progenitors. However, the precise ontogenetic relationships, the underlying transcriptional programs and the molecular signals that drive the development of distinct CAMs subsets in situ are poorly understood. Using novel fate mapping systems, single-cell profiling and cell-specific mutants, we show that only mMF and microglia share a common prenatal progenitor. In contrast, pvMF originate from perinatal mMF only after birth in an integrin-dependent manner. Furthermore, the establishment of pvMF critically requires the presence of vascular smooth muscle cells. In summary, our data reveal a novel precisely timed process in distinct anatomical niches for the establishment of CNS macrophage subsets.

Multiomic spatial landscape of innate immune cells at human central nervous system borders

Project description:The innate immune system of the human central nervous system (CNS) is highly diverse already during homeostasis. Several immune cell populations such as macrophages that are frequent in the brain parenchyma (microglia) and less numerous at the brain interfaces as CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) constitute the local immune compartment. Due to their scantiness and particular location, little is known about the presence of temporally and spatially restricted CAM subclasses during development, health and perturbation. Here, we combined several high-dimensional technologies, such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, time-of-flight mass cytometry and single-cell spatial transcriptomics with fate mapping and advanced immunohistochemistry to comprehensively characterize the immune system at human CNS interfaces. We also provide a comprehensive analysis of resident and engrafted myeloid cells in the brains of individuals with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, revealing remarkable dynamics. These approaches enabled us to identify a previously unappreciated spectrum of transcriptional classes of human CAMs and to decipher their turnover with circulating cells. CAM signatures profoundly changed during ontogeny and pathology. Our results highlight myeloid diversity at the interfaces of the human CNS with the periphery and provide new insights into the human brain’s immune system.

Perivascular macrophages proliferate in the CNS, but also contributed by bone-marrow precursors in response to cerebral ischemia

Project description:Immune response following CNS disease and injury comprises three different compartments, parenchymal, perivascular and blood involving specialized immune cells. Microglia are the major immune cell residing in the CNS parenchymal compartment but together with other macrophages which are residing in the non-parenchymal structures such as perivascular spaces, leptomeninges and choroid plexus constitute the total macrophage population of the CNS. While the homeostatic functions of these specialized macrophages in not very well understood, evidence shows that these macrophages at the blood-brain interface might involve immune-surveillance and establish a gate way for the recruitment of peripheral immune cells in to the CNS in response to the pathological stimuli. In humans and rats these macrophages identified exclusively by the high levels of scavenger receptor CD163

HOST MICROBIOTA REGULATE SELECTIVE MYELOID SUBSETS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DURING HOMEOSTASIS AND DISEASE

Project description:The immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) comprise parenchymal microglia and at the CNS border regions meningeal, perivascular and choroid plexus macrophages (summarized as CNS-associated macrophages, CAMs). Previous work has uncovered that microglial properties are strongly dependent on environmental signals from the commensal microbiota while its effect on CAMs remained unknown. By combining several microbiota manipulation approaches, genetic mouse models and single-cell RNA-sequencing, we comprehensively characterized CNS myeloid cell composition and function. Under steady-state, the transcriptional profile and numbers of choroid plexus macrophages were found to be tightly steered by complex microbiota. Divergently, perivascular and meningeal macrophages were affected to a lesser extent. An acute perturbation through viral infection evoked an attenuated immune response of all CAMs in germ-free mice. Additionally, we assessed CAMs in a more chronic pathological state in 5xFAD mice as a model for Alzheimer’s disease whereby exclusively perivascular macrophages displayed enhanced amyloid beta uptake in GF 5xFAD mice. Our results provide novel insights for understanding distinct microbiota-CNS macrophage interactions during health and perturbation that could potentially be targeted therapeutically.

A single-cell atlas of mouse brain macrophages reveals unique transcriptional identities shaped by ontogeny and tissue environment. [bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:While the roles of parenchymal microglia in brain homeostasis and disease are fairly clear, other brain-resident myeloid cells remain less understood. By dissecting border regions and combining single-cell RNA sequencing with high-dimensional cytometry, bulk RNA-sequencing, fate-mapping and microscopy, we reveal the diversity of non-parenchymal brain macrophages. Border-associated macrophages (BAMs) residing in the dura mater, subdural meninges and choroid plexus consisted of distinct subsets with tissue-specific transcriptional signatures, and their cellular composition changed during postnatal development. BAMs exhibited a mixed ontogeny and subsets displayed distinct self-renewal capacities upon depletion and repopulation. Single-cell and fate-mapping analysis both suggested there is a unique microglial subset residing on the apical surface of the choroid plexus epithelium. Finally, gene network analysis and conditional deletion revealed IRF8 as a master regulator that drives the maturation and diversity of brain macrophages. Our results provide a framework for understanding host-macrophage interactions in the healthy and diseased brain.
