Expression profiling of microglia lacking Tgfbr2

ABSTRACT: Microglia contribute to maintaining brain homeostasis by interacting with neurons and macroglial cells through different signaling molecules. Here, we investigate the transcriptional profile of microglia lacking TGFbeta signaling given by inactivation of the Tgfbr2 gene, at three different stages of development. These microglia show a signature consistent with increased activation and impaired maturation, representing a state commonly associated with neurological pathologies.

Transcriptomes of Tgfbr2 Knockout Microglia and Macrophages

Project description:The cytokine transforming growth factor-B (TGF-B) regulates development and homeostasis of several tissue-resident macrophage populations, including microglia. TGF-B is not critical for microglia survival, but is required for the maintenance of the microglia-specific homeostatic gene signature. Under defined host conditions circulating monocytes can compete for the microglial niche and give rise to long-lived monocyte-derived macrophages residing in the central nervous system (CNS). Whether monocytes require TGF-B for colonization of the microglial niche and maintenance of CNS integrity is unknown. We found that abrogation of TGF-B signaling in CX3CR1+ monocyte-derived macrophages led to rapid onset of a progressive and fatal demyelinating motor disease characterized by myelin-laden giant macrophages throughout the spinal cord. The devastating motor disease that developed in TGF-BR2-deficient chimeras indicated that in the absence of TGF-B signaling the CNS environment licenses monocyte-derived macrophages for tissue damage. We therefore addressed how the gene expression signature of CNS macrophages was controlled by TGF-B signaling. We thus sorted TGF-BR2-deficient monocyte-derived macrophages from animals with ongoing motor disease and from their wildtype littermate counterparts. For comparison we sorted wild-type and TGF-BR2-deficient microglia and performed RNA sequencing for all four groups. Tgfbr2-deficient macrophages were characterized by high expression of genes encoding proteins involved in antigen presentation, inflammation and phagocytosis. TGF-B is thus crucial for the functional integration of monocytes into the CNS microenvironment.

Microglia protect against age-associated brain pathologies

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident macrophages that contribute to central nervous system development, maturation, and preservation. Here, we examine the consequences of lifelong absence of microglia on ageing using the Csf1rΔFIRE/ΔFIRE mouse model. In juvenile Csf1rΔFIRE/ΔFIRE mice, we show that microglia are largely dispensable for the transcriptomic maturation of other brain cell types. In contrast, with advancing age, multiple pathologies accumulate in Csf1rΔFIRE/ΔFIRE brains, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte-lineage cells become increasingly dysregulated, and white matter integrity declines, mimicking many of the pathological features of human CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy. The thalamus is particularly sensitive to neuropathological changes in the absence of microglia, with atrophy, neuron loss, vascular disturbances, macroglial dysregulation, and severe calcifications all detected in this region. Thalamic calcification formation, which often occurs with normal ageing, is dramatically accelerated in Csf1rΔFIRE/ΔFIRE brains but can be prevented via transplantation of wild-type microglia. Our results indicate that lifelong absence of microglia results in an age-related neurodegenerative condition that can be prevented by the transplantation of healthy microglia.

Gene expression profiling of Tgfbr2 mutant mouse models of cleft palate

Project description:The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in palate development in order to discover candidate therapeutics for preventing and treating congenital birth defects. Here, we conducted gene expression profiling of embryonic palatal tissue from wild type mice as well as those with a neural crest specific conditional inactivation of the Tgfbr2 gene. The latter mice provide a model of cleft palate formation. To investigate the mechanism of cleft palate resulting from mutations in TGFBR2, we analyzed neural crest specific conditional inactivation of Tgfbr2 in mice (Tgfbr2fl/fl;Wnt1-Cre). We performed microarray analyses using the palatal tissue of Tgfbr2fl/fl;Wnt1-Cre mice at embryonic day E13.5 (prior to palatal fusion, n=6 per genotype) and E14.5 (during palatal fusion, n=5 per genotype) to examine the genes regulated by Tgf-beta during palate formation.

SOX4 AND SMARCA4 COOPERATIVELY REGULATE PI3K SIGNALING THROUGH TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATION OF TGFBR2 IN BASAL LIKE BREAST CANCER

Project description:Dysregulation of PI3K/Akt signaling is a dominant feature in basal-like or triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). However, the mechanisms regulating this pathway are largely unknown in this subset of aggressive tumors. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor SOX4 is a key regulator of PI3K signaling in TNBC. Genomic and proteomic analyses coupled with mechanistic studies identified TGFBR2 as a direct transcriptional target of SOX4 and demonstrated that TGFBR2 is required to mediate SOX4-dependent PI3K signaling. We further report that SOX4 and the SWI/SNF ATPase SMARCA4, which are uniformly overexpressed in basal-like tumors, form a previously unreported complex that is required to maintain an open chromatin conformation at the TGFBR2 regulatory regions in order to mediate TGFBR2 expression and PI3K signaling. Collectively, our findings delineate the mechanism by which SOX4 and SMARCA4 cooperatively regulate PI3K/Akt signaling and suggest that this complex may play an essential role in TNBC genesis and/or progression.
