Transcriptomic analysis of mouse brain microglia on aging-associated changes in response to cerebral ischemia

ABSTRACT: Senescence-associated alterations in microglia may have profound impact on cerebral homeostasis and stroke outcomes. However, the lack of a transcriptome-wide comparison between young and aged microglia in the context of ischemia limits our understanding of aging-related mechanisms. Herein, we performed bulk RNA sequencing analysis of microglia purified from cerebral hemispheres of young adult (10-week-old) and aged (18-month-old) mice 5 days after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion or sham operation. Considerable transcriptional differences were observed between young and aged microglia in healthy brains, indicating heightened chronic inflammation in aged microglia. Following stroke, the overall transcriptional activation was more robust in young microglia than in aged microglia. Gene clusters with functional implications in immune inflammatory responses, immune cell chemotaxis, tissue remodeling, and cell-cell interactions were markedly activated in microglia of young but not aged stroke mice. These alterations in microglial gene response may contribute to aging-driven vulnerability and poorer recovery after ischemic stroke.

Transcriptomic and Functional Studies Reveal Undermined Chemotactic and Angiostimulatory Properties of Aged Microglia During Stroke Recovery

Project description:Age-dependent alterations in microglia behavior have been implicated in neurodegeneration and CNS injuries. Here, we compared the transcriptional profiles of young versus aged microglia during stroke recovery. CD45intermediateCD11b+ microglia were FACS-isolated from the brains of young (10-week-old) and aged (18-month-old) male mice 14 days after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) or sham operation and subjected to RNA-sequencing analysis. Functional groups enriched in young microglia are indicative of upregulation in cell movement, cell interactions, inflammatory responses and angiogenesis, while aged microglia exhibited a reduction or no change in these features. We confirmed reduced chemoattractive capacities of aged microglia toward ischemic brain tissue in organotypic slide co-cultures, and delayed accumulation of aged microglia around dead neurons injected into the striatum in vivo. In addition, aging is associated with an overall failure to increase the expression of microglial genes involved in cell-cell interactions, such as CXCL10. Finally, impaired upregulation of pro-angiogenic genes in aged microglia was associated with a decline in neovascularization in aged mice compared to young mice after dMCAO. This study provides a new resource to understand the mechanisms underlying microglial alterations in the aged brain milieu and sheds light on new strategies to improve microglial functions in aged stroke victims.

Increased fatty acid metabolism and decreased glycolysis are hallmarks of metabolic reprogramming within microglia in degenerating white matter during recovery from experimental stroke

Project description:The goal of this study was to evaluate changes in metabolic homeostasis during the first 12 weeks of recovery in a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model of stroke. To achieve this goal, we compared the brain metabolomes of ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres from aged male mice up to 12 weeks after stroke to that of age-matched naïve and sham mice. There were 707 biochemicals detected in each sample by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS). Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation, indicated by acyl carnitine levels, was increased in stroked tissue at 1 day and 4 weeks following stroke. Glucose and several glycolytic intermediates were elevated in the ipsilateral hemisphere for 12 weeks compared to the aged naïve controls, but pyruvate was decreased. Additionally, itaconate, a glycolysis inhibitor associated with activation of anti-inflammatory mechanisms in myeloid cells, was higher in the same comparisons. Spatial transcriptomics and RNA in situ hybridization localized these alterations to microglia within the area of axonal degeneration. These results indicate that chronic metabolic differences exist between stroked and control brains, including alterations in fatty acid metabolism and glycolysis within microglia in areas of degenerating white matter for at least 12 weeks after stroke.

Microglia renewal in old mice enhances the cellular fitness to cope with stroke

Project description:Microglial cells of the aged brain manifest signs of dysfunction that could contribute to the worst neurological outcome of stroke in the elderly. Treatment with colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor antagonists enables microglia depletion that is followed by microglia repopulation after interruption of the treatment, without any known harm to the mice. We used this strategy aiming to rejuvenate microglia function and ameliorate stroke outcome in aged mice. Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion induced strong innate immune responses in microglia highlighted by prominent type-I interferon signalling, together with cellular metabolic perturbances and lipid droplet biogenesis. Old age increased innate immune responses in microglia, which also showed more lipid droplets than microglia of young mice. Microglia renewal in old mice prevented the exaggerated type I interferon response observed in microglia after stroke, reduced the lipid droplet content, and improved the neurological outcome of stroke. This study shows that microglia renewal in old mice rejuvenates some features of old microglia and improves stroke outcome.

Photothrombotic Cerebral Stroke as a Model of Post-Stroke Seizures/Epilepsy in aged mice

Project description:Stroke is a prevalent disorder representing the third leading cause of death and major cause of disability. Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) has been recognized as a common clinical issue after stroke, accounting for 30-40% of the causes of epilepsy among older adults. In this study, we determined GABAA receptor-mediated seizure susceptibility after PT cerebral stroke in aged mice. Young adult mice around 10 weeks of age are widely used in stroke experiments. However, as most strokes are diagnosed in the elderly and PSE has been recognized as a common clinical incidence after stroke, we utilized photothrombosis (PT) model of cerebral ischemia and examined seizure susceptibility and brain injury using combined behavioral (video) and EEG monitoring and histological (MRI) assessments. To investigate GABAA receptor-mediated convulsive/non-convulsive seizures, lower-doses of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) was injected. PTZ susceptibility in aging mice increased compared to young adults. One month after PT stroke, aged PT stroke mice exhibited severe convulsive seizures (late-onset). These findings exhibited the increase of GABAA receptor-mediated seizures susceptibility in PT stroke aging mice, but not in young adults.

The role of Clec4e (Mincle) in microglia response to transient ischemic injury

Project description:This data set shows dramatic changes in gene expression in microglia isolated from C57Bl6/J mice subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, as compared to those subjected to sham surgery. Mice deficient in Mincle (Clec4e-/-) showed significantly improved injury outcomes 3 and 7 days after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, when comparing changes in gene expression in microglia 24 hours after blood reperfusion, there were no differences between wild-type and Clec4e-/- mice, indicating that Mincle does not participate in early microglial activation. Wild type and Mincle knock-out (Clec4e-/-) mice. After 1 h of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and 24 h of reperfusion, mice were perfused with PBS, their brains dissected, and 2 ipsilesional hemispheres (with cerebellum and brainstem removed) pooled for microglia isolation. For sham-operated animals, the whole forebrain was used and brains were not pooled. After myelin separation by Percoll gradient centrifugation, around 80,000 CD45intermediate, CD11b+ microglial cells were sorted from each sample. Sham samples n=3, tMCAO samples n=5.

Absolute Proteome Analysis of Hippocampus, Cortex and Cerebellum in Aged and Young Mice Reveals Changes in Energy Metabolism

Project description:Aging is associated with a general decline of cognitive functions, and it is widely accepted that this decline results from changes in expression of proteins involved in regulation of synaptic plasticity. However, several lines of evidence has accumulated that impaired function of aged brain may be related to significant alterations in the energy metabolism. In the current study, we employed the label-free „Total protein approach” (TPA) method to focus on similarities and differences in energy metabolism proteomes of young (1 month-old) and aged (22 month-old) murine brains. We quantified over 7,000 proteins in each of three analyzed brain structures: hippocampus, cerebral cortex and cerebellum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most extensive quantitative proteomic description of energy metabolism pathways during physiological aging of mice. The analysis demonstrates that aging does not affect significantly the abundance of total proteins in the studied brain structures, however, the levels of proteins constituting energy metabolism pathways differ significantly between young and aged mice.

Local and systemic metabolic alterations in brain, plasma, and liver of rats in response to aging and ischemic stroke, as detected by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy

Project description:Cerebral ischemia and aging induce local and systemic effects, and impact severity of stroke outcome. We performed comprehensive metabolic profiling to detect metabolites in brain, plasma, and liver as a function of aging and ischemia/reperfusion (IR). Ischemic stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. Abundant metabolites were identified and quantified by 1H-NMR. Older rats aged 12 months showed significant changes in metabolic profiles in the brain, but only a few metabolites were changed in the liver and plasma as compared to younger rats aged 3 months. However, I/R injury at day 2 resulted in major changes in metabolites in liver and plasma of older rats. In younger rats, focal cerebral ischemia induced reperfusion-time dependent changes in metabolites in brain, plasma, and liver. Metabolic changes were seen in brain as early as day 2 of I/R, plasma showed significant changes at day 3 of reperfusion, and liver exhibited delayed response after day 3 that continued to remain at week 2 of reperfusion-time. Pathways involved in energy and amino acid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress were altered as a result of aging and I/R. Thus, age, tissue, and I/R time affect changes in metabolites and may have implications in stroke outcome.

Levetiracetam normalized E/I imbalance in the hippocampus after cortical stroke in aged mice

Project description:Stroke is a prevalent disorder representing the third leading cause of death and major cause of disability. Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) has been recognized as a common clinical issue after stroke, accounting for 30-40% of the causes of epilepsy among older adults. In this study, we determined GABAA receptor-mediated seizure susceptibility after PT cerebral stroke in aged mice. Young adult mice around 10 weeks of age are widely used in stroke experiments. However, as most strokes are diagnosed in the elderly and PSE has been recognized as a common clinical incidence after stroke, we utilized photothrombosis (PT) model of cerebral ischemia and examined seizure susceptibility. To investigate in vitro drug-induced seizure susceptibility (E/I imbalance) of GABAA receptor antagonist, gabazine (GZ), voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging techniques were used in hippocampal brain slices. One month after PT stroke, in vivo aged PT stroke mice exhibited severe convulsive seizures (late-onset). in vitro GZ-induced E/I imbalance in hippocampus of aging mice increased compared to young adults. In addition, Anti-seizure medication (levetiracetam) normalized in vitro GZ-induced E/I imbalance in hippocampus of aging mice. These findings exhibited that GABAA receptor-mediated seizures susceptibility (E/I imbalance) in hippocampus after cortical PT stroke in aging mice, but not in young adults.

Identification of new therapeutic targets by genome-wide analysis of gene expression in the ipsilateral cortex of aged rats after stroke

Project description:Because most human stroke victims are elderly, studies of experimental stroke in the aged rather than the young rat model may be optimal for identifying clinically relevant cellular responses, as well for pinpointing beneficial interventions. We employed the Affymetrix platform to analyze the whole-gene transcriptome following temporary ligation of the middle cerebral artery in aged and young rats. Expression profiling of periinfarcted brain areas of young and aged rats, as well as healthy tissue from naive animals.

Influence of sex, age and diabetes on brain transcriptome and proteome modifications following cerebral ischemia

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Translation into the clinical setting of neuroprotective agents showing promising results in pre-clinical studies has systematically failed. One of the reasons that could explain this failure is that the animal models used to test neuroprotectants do not represent properly the population affected by stroke, as the majority of pre-clinical studies are performed in healthy young male mice. In this regard, we aimed to determine if the response to cerebral ischemia differed depending on age, sex and the presence of comorbidities. Thus, we explored proteomic and transcriptomic changes triggered during the hyperacute phase of cerebral ischemia (by transient intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion) in the brain of: (1) young male mice, (2) young female mice, (3) aged male mice and (4) diabetic young male mice. Moreover, we compared the proteomic and transcriptomic changes of each group using an integrative enrichment pathways analysis to disclose key common and exclusive altered proteins, genes and pathways in the first stages of the disease. We found 61 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in male mice, 77 in females, 699 in diabetic and 24 in aged mice. Of these, only 14 were commonly dysregulated in all four groups. The enrichment pathways analysis revealed that the inflammatory response was the biological process with more DEG in all groups of animals, followed by hemopoiesis and lymphoid organ development. Our findings indicate that the response to cerebral ischemia regarding proteomic and transcriptomic changes differs depending on the sex, age and comorbidities, highlighting the importance of incorporating these groups of animals in future stroke research studies.
