Transcriptomic changes of mouse monocytes and macrophages after ischemic stroke

ABSTRACT: Blood monocytes/macrophages infiltrate the brain after ischemic stroke and critically influence brain injury and regeneration. We investigated stroke-induced transcriptomic changes of monocytes/macrophages by RNA sequencing profiling, using a mouse model of permanent focal cerebral ischemia. Compared to non-ischemic conditions, brain ischemia induced only moderate genomic changes in blood monocytes, but triggered robust genomic reprogramming in monocytes/macrophages invading the brain. Surprisingly, functional enrichment analysis of the transcriptome of brain macrophages revealed significant overrepresentation of biological processes linked to neurovascular remodeling, such as angiogenesis and axonal regeneration, as early as 5 days after stroke, suggesting a previously underappreciated role for macrophages in initiating post-stroke brain repair. Upstream Regulator analysis predicted peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) as a master regulator driving the transcriptional reprogramming in post-stroke brain macrophages. Importantly, myeloid cell-specific PPARγ knockout (mKO) mice demonstrated lower post-stroke angiogenesis and neurogenesis than wild-type mice, which correlated significantly with the exacerbation of post-stroke neurological deficits in mKO mice. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel repair-enhancing transcriptome in brain macrophages during post-stroke neurovascular remodeling. As a master switch controlling genomic reprogramming, PPARγ is a rational therapeutic target for promoting and maintaining beneficial macrophage functions, facilitating neurorestoration, and improving long-term functional recovery after ischemic stroke.

Regeneration of the cerebral cortex by direct chemical reprogramming of macrophages into neuronal cells in acute ischemic stroke

Project description:Ischemic stroke causes extensive neuronal cell death. Antithrombotic agents and rehabilitation are the primary treatment options but have limited efficacy. Therefore, to achieve radical neurological improvement, practical neuroregenerative technologies must be developed. Recently, direct chemical reprogramming using small molecules to transdifferentiate somatic cells into neurons has garnered much attention. We investigated the possibility of applying this technology for the treatment of ischemic stroke. During the acute phase of ischemic stroke, circulating monocytes increase chemotaxis and accumulate in the infarct area through the disrupted blood-brain barrier, where they differentiate into macrophages involved in inflammation and remodeling. Direct reprogramming of these monocyte-derived macrophages into neuronal cells in vivo is theoretically possible with the administration of small-molecule drugs. However, the efficacy of this neuroregenerative therapy cannot be verified because the optimal chemical compounds that convert macrophages into neurons have not yet been identified.

Cranial photo-immunologic regulation along the skull-meninges-brain axis for promoting recovery from ischemic brain injury

Project description:Stroke involves in the interaction between central and peripheral immune systems. Skull bone marrows serve as reservoirs for immune cells in brain borders, and can rapidly respond to perturbations in the brain environment. Hence, targeting the skull bone marrow to modulate neuroimmune communications along the calvaria-meninges-brain axis would potentially improve stroke prognosis. Here, we successfully achieved cranial immunomodulation via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the interparietal region, which was characterized by rich marrow cavities and channels connecting the skull and meninges. Utilizing the recently-developed long-term clearing cranial window that ensured the integrity of skull, we discovered that the cranial photo-immunologic regulation (CPR) could promote cerebrovascular regeneration and aid in neurovascular repair post ischemic stroke. Single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that meninge could be a crucial neuroimmune interface for ischemic stroke-induced immune responses. And, CPR could restore the stroke-induced alterations in cellular gene expression, especially meningeal B cells. Further we demonstrated that CPR could effectively alleviate the excessive suppression of meningeal B cell activation caused by ischemic stroke. This work opens avenues for immunoregulation through the skull-meninges-brain axis and provides valuable insights for immunomodulatory therapies in brain diseases.

Innate immune memory after brain injury drives inflammatory cardiac dysfunction [CUT&tag]

Project description:The enormous medical burden of stroke is not only due to the brain injury itself and the acute systemic effects, but is largely determined by chronic comorbidities that develop secondarily after stroke. We hypothesized that the high rate of comorbidity developing after a stroke might have a shared immunological cause, however, the chronic effects of brain injury on systemic immunity have so far been barely investigated. Here, we identified myeloid innate immune memory as a cause of remote organ dysfunction after stroke. Using single-cell sequencing, we identified persistent pro-inflammatory transcriptomic changes in resident monocytes/macrophages in multiple organs one month after experimental ischemic brain injury, which was particularly abundant in the heart and associated with the development of cardiac fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. A similar phenotype was seen in myocardial autopsy samples from stroke versus control patients. We observed chronic functional changes in myeloid hematopoiesis driven by post-stroke IL-1-mediated epigenetic changes. These alterations could be transplanted to naïve recipient mice and were sufficient to induce cardiac dysfunction. By effectively blocking the trafficking of pro-inflammatory monocytes from the bone marrow to the heart using a dual CCR2/5 inhibitor, we successfully prevented post-stroke cardiac dysfunction. This approach holds promising potential as a novel immune-targeted secondary prevention therapy. We anticipate that the epigenetic immune reprogramming mechanisms detailed here for the brain-heart axis could be generalized to provide a novel framework for explaining the development of various comorbidities after acute tissue injury in remote organs.

Transfer RNA fragments replace microRNA regulators of the cholinergic post-stroke immune blockade III

Project description:After ischemic stroke, the brain initiates intensive communication with the immune system, and acetylcholine contributes to this process. Stroke triggers peripheral immunosuppression leading to increased susceptibility to infections; and post-stroke pneumonia is linked with poor stroke outcome, but the responsible processes are yet unknown. We discovered a “change of guards” where microRNA levels decreased but small transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) accumulated in post-stroke blood cells. This molecular switch may re-balance acetylcholine signaling in CD14+ monocytes by regulating their gene expression and modulating post-stroke immunity. Our observations point to tRFs as new molecular regulators of post-stroke immune responses that may become potential therapeutic targets.

IL4 improves white matter repair after stroke

Project description:The repair of white matter damage is of paramount importance for functional recovery after brain injuries.We report that interleukin-4 (IL-4) promotes oligodendrocyte regeneration and remyelination. IL-4 receptor expression was detected in a variety of glial cells after ischemic brain injury, including oligodendrocyte lineage cells. IL-4 deficiency in knockout mice resulted in greater deterioration of white matter over 14 days after stroke. Consistent with these findings, intranasal delivery of IL-4 nanoparticles after stroke improved white matter integrity and attenuated long-term sensorimotor and cognitive deficits in wild-type mice, as revealed by histological immunostaining, electron microscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, and electrophysiology. The selective effect of IL-4 on remyelination was verified in an ex vivo organotypic model of demyelination. By leveraging primary oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), microglia-depleted mice, and conditional OPC-specific PPARγ knockout mice, we discovered a direct salutary effect of IL-4 on oligodendrocyte differentiation that was mediated by the PPARγ axis. Our findings reveal a new regenerative role of IL-4 in the CNS, which lies beyond its known immunoregulatory functions on microglia/macrophages or peripheral lymphocytes. Therefore, intranasal IL-4 delivery may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to improve white matter integrity in stroke and other brain injuries.
