The effects of postmortem delay on mouse microglia gene expression

ABSTRACT: Microglia are specialized macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) and first to react to pathogens or injury. Transcriptional profiling significantly contributed to our understanding of microglia functions. In the case of human CNS samples, a postmortem delay (PMD) in tissue access and collection is the potential factor that might affect microglia gene expression profiles. However, the direct analysis of effects of PMD on human microglia transcriptome is challenging due to many confounding factors such as sex, aging, nutrition, lifestyle, medication and medical history. To determine the effects of PMD on the microglia transcriptome. Here, we analyzed mouse microglia, where ante-mortem conditions and post-mortem delay can be tightly controlled. PMD had very limited effect on mouse microglia gene expression, only 50 genes (out of 15,554 detected genes) were differentially expressed between different PMDs.

Characterization of universal features of partially methylated domains across tissues and species

Project description:Partially methylated domains (PMDs) are a hallmark of epigenomes in reproducible and specific biological contexts, including cancer cells, the placenta, and cultured cell lines. Existing methods for deciding whether PMDs exist in a sample, as well as their identification, are few, often tailored to specific biological questions, and require high coverage samples for accurate identification. In this study, we outline a set of axioms that take a step towards a functional definition for PMDs, describe an improved method for comparable PMD detection across samples with substantially different sequencing depths, and refine the decision criteria for whether a sample contains PMDs using a data-driven approach. Applying our method to 267 methylomes from 7 species, we corroborated recent results regarding the general association between replication timing and PMD state, and report identification of several reproducibly “escapee” genes within late-replicating domains that escape the downregulation and hypomethylation of their immediate genomic neighborhood. We also explored the discordant PMD state of orthologous genes between human and mouse, and observed a directional association of PMD state with gene expression and local gene density. Our improved method makes low-sequencing, population-level studies of PMD variation possible and our results further refine the model of PMD formation as one where sequence context and regional epigenomic features both play a role in gradual genome-wide hypomethylation.

Large-scale methylation domains mark a functional subset of neuronally expressed genes

Project description:DNA methylation is essential for embryonic and neuronal differentiation, but the function of most genomic DNA methylation marks are poorly understood. Generally the human genome is highly methylated (>70%) except for CpG islands and gene promoters. However, it was recently shown that the IMR90 human fetal lung fibroblast cells have large regions of the genome with partially methylated domains (PMDs, <70% average methylation), in contrast to the rest of the genome which is in highly methylated domains (HMDs, >70% average methylation). Using bisulfite conversion followed by high-throughput sequencing (MethylC-seq), we discovered that human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells also contain PMDs. We developed a novel hidden Markov model (HMM) to computationally map the genomic locations of PMDs in both cell types and found that autosomal PMDs can be over 9 Mb in length and cover 41% of the IMR90 genome and 19% of the SH-SY5Y genome. Genomic regions marked by cell line specific PMDs contain genes that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner, with PMDs being a mark of repressed transcription. Genes contained within N-HMDs (neuronal HMDs, defined as a PMD in IMR90 but HMD in SH-SY5Y) were significantly enriched for calcium signaling, synaptic transmission and neuron differentiation functions. Autism candidate genes were enriched within PMDs and the largest PMD observed in SH-SY5Y cells marked a 10 Mb cluster of cadherin genes with strong genetic association to autism. Our results suggest that these large-scale methylation domain maps could be relevant to interpreting and directing future investigations into the elusive etiology of autism.

Chronic Dengue Encephalitis in a Patient with Progressive Dementia

Project description:Dengue virus is the most common arbovirus worldwide and represents a significant public health concern. To date, chronic Dengue infections have not been previously reported. While investigating the etiology of central nervous system (CNS) disease in a patient presenting with progressive dementia, we elucidated a chronic dengue infection within the CNS. Comprehensive viral immune responses in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were profiled by a phage-display assay (VirScan). Enrichment of Dengue viral antibodies were detected in the CSF as compared to the serum. No virus was detected in serum or CSF, but post-mortem analysis confirmed Dengue virus in the brain by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry, RNAscope and sequencing. Dengue virus was detectable by PCR and sequencing from brain biopsy tissue collected 33 months ante-mortem, confirming a chronic infection. Comprehensive antibody profiling assays can aid in the diagnosis of encephalitis of unknown etiologies. Our findings suggest that Dengue virus infections may persist in the CNS and should be considered in patients with progressive dementia in endemic regions or with relevant travel history.

The CNS myelin proteome: Deep profile and persistence after post-mortem delay

Project description:We revisited the proteome of myelin biochemically purified from the brains of healthy c56Bl/6N-mice utilizing complementary proteomic approaches for deep qualitative and quantitative coverage. A data-independent acquisition (DIA) workflow with alternating low and elevated energy (MSE) provided the high dynamic range required for correct quantification of highest-abundance proteins. According to this analysis, the most abundant myelin proteins PLP, MBP, CNP and MOG constitute 38%, 30%, 5% and 1% of the total myelin protein, respectively. Combined with data from an ion mobility-enhanced version of the MSE mode (referred to as UDMSE) and from 1D-gel-based proteomic approaches, we provide the most comprehensive proteome resource of CNS myelin so far and correlate it with published datasets on mRNA and protein abundance profiles of myelin and oligodendrocytes. Using dynamic range enhancement (DRE)-UDMSE as a dedicated data acquisition mode for routine differential myelin proteome profiling, we also establish that the myelin proteome displays only minor changes if assessed after a post mortem-delay of six hours. Together, these data provide a basis for addressing proteomic heterogeneity of myelin in mouse models and human patients with white matter disorders.

Bulk and single cell sequencing (bc-Smart-seq2 and 10XGenomics) of human microglia from post mortem AD CNS tissue

Project description:Microglia are the tissue-resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent studies based on bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing in mice indicate high relevance of microglia with respect to risk genes and neuro-inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we investigated microglia transcriptomes at bulk and single cell level in non-demented elderly and AD donors using acute human post-mortem cortical brain samples. We identified 7 human microglial subpopulations with heterogeneity in gene expression. Notably, gene expression profiles and subcluster composition of microglia did not differ between AD donors and non-demented elderly in bulk RNA sequencing nor in single-cell sequencing.

RNA sequencing of microglia sorted form tamoxifen treated Sall1CreER/fl and control Sall1fl/fl mice

Project description:Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). Gene profiling identified the transcriptional regulator Sall1 as a microglia signature gene. Given the high expression of Sall1 in microglia, we sought to identify its function in vivo. The Sall1CreER allele has been targeted into the Sall1 locus, therefore Sall1CreER/fl mice (heterozygous for both alleles) allow inducible ablation of Sall1 expression in microglia after tamoxifen treatment. We performed RNA-seq to examine gene expression profiles of microglia sorted from tamoxifen treated adult Sall1CreER/fl mice and Sall1fl/fl control littermates. Microglia were obtained with > 98% purity and the absence of Sall1 was confirmed in Sall1CreER/fl microglia. We could show that deletion of Sall1 in microglia in vivo resulted in the conversion of these cells from resting tissue macrophages into inflammatory phagocytes leading to altered neurogenesis and disturbed tissue homeostasis. Similar changes in gene expression profiles were found in Sall1-deficient microglia isolated from tamoxifen-treated Cx3cr1CreERSall1fl/fl mice. In these mice, deletion of Sall1 is targeted to CX3CR1+ myeloid cells including microglia and CNS-associated macrophages but not to any other CNS-resident cells. This indicated that Sall1 transcriptional regulation maintains microglia identity and physiological properties in the CNS.
