Comparative analysis of CreER transgenic mice for the study of brain macrophages – a case study

ABSTRACT: Conditional mutagenesis and fate mapping have contributed considerably to our understanding of physiology and pathology. Specifically, Cre recombinase-based approaches allow the definition of cell type-specific contributions to disease development and of inter-cellular communication circuits in respective animal models. Here we compared Cx3cr1CreER and Sall1CreER transgenic mice and their use to decipher the brain macrophage compartment as a showcase to discuss recent technological advances. Specifically, we highlight the need to define the accuracy of Cre recombinase expression, as well as strengths and pitfalls of these particular systems that should be taken into consideration when applying these models.

Cx3Cr1-Cre induction leads to microglial activation and IFN-1 signaling caused by DNA-damage in early postnatal brain

Project description:Cx3cr1CreER driven Cre-recombinase (Cre) is a widely used genetic tool for enabling gene manipulation in microglia and macrophages. However, an in-depth analysis for the possible detrimental effects of Cre-activity in microglia, surprisingly remains missing. Here we demonstrate an age-dependent sensitivity of microglia to Cx3cr1-Cre-toxicity, wherein Cre-induction specifically in early postnatal microglia is detrimental for microglial development, proliferation and function. Tamoxifen (TAM) induced Cre-activity leads to microglial activation, type1-interferon (IFN-1) signaling and increased phagocytosis, causing aberrant synaptic pruning during early postnatal period and anxiety behavior in later age. The detrimental effects of Cre-induction are caused due to DNA-damage induced toxicity in microglia, and is limited to the early postnatal period, showing no detrimental effects in adult microglia. Thus, our study reveals the age-dependent vulnerability of microglia to Cre-activity, thereby highlighting age-dependencies of Cre-action, which could be especially applicable in the broader context of environment-responsive cell-types.

An overlooked subset of Cx3cr1wt/wt microglia in the Cx3cr1CreER-Eyfp/wt mouse has a repopulation advantage over Cx3cr1CreER-Eyfp/wt microglia following microglial depletion

Project description:Cx3cr1CreER-Eyfp/wt mice contain a subset of microglia lacking Cre and EYFP expression. These microglial escape Cre-mediated recombination and gain a repopulation advantage following Cre-driven DTA-mediated microglial depletion.

Expression data from postnatal mouse apical and basal organ of Corti from Dicer1 conditional knockout and littermate control cochleae.

Project description:Cre recombinase-mediated conditional knockout of floxed Dicer1 alleles causes depletion of small RNAs including microRNAs, which function to repress target mRNA expression by inhibiting translation and/or stimulating mRNA degradation. We used microarrays to examine gene expression in apical versus basal organ of Corti from the cochleae of control and mutant mice in which Dicer1 was deleted and microRNAs were depleted specifically in sensory hair cells by Atoh1 promoter-driven Cre recombinase expression.
