Project description:The TREM2-DAP12 receptor complex sustains microglia functions. Heterozygous TREM2 variants subtly impair microglia, facilitating manifestation of Alzheimer’s Disease in the elderly. Homozygous inactivating mutations of TREM2 or DAP12 cause Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), an early-onset dementia with leukoencephalopathy, myelin loss and gliosis. Here we investigated the impact of DAP12 deficiency in microglia and collateral damage to other brain cells by single-nucleus RNA-seq in NHD patients and DAP12 loss-of-function (KΔ75) mice. KΔ75 mice showed signatures of impaired microglia activation that reverberated in mild dysfunction of other brain cells. Paradoxically, NHD microglia were activated and associated with astrocytosis, hypoxia, and neuronal loss signatures. We envision that KΔ75 signatures recapitulate an early NHD stage in which DAP12-deficient microglia fail to clear toxic products generated during brain development and homeostasis. Conversely, NHD signatures reflect a late disease stage in which accumulated toxic products cause a widespread tissue damage that elicits TREM2-DAP12-independent microgliosis, astrogliosis, hypoxia, and neuronal death. This TREM2-DAP12-independent microglia activation in NHD has bearing on potential microglia-based therapies.

Project description:Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), also designated polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive presenile dementia and formation of multifocal bone cysts, caused by a loss-of-function mutation of DAP12 or TREM2. TREM2 and DAP12 constitute a receptor/adaptor complex expressed on osteoclasts, dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, and microglia. At present, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying development of leukoencephalopathy and bone cysts in NHD remain largely unknown. We established THP-1 human monocyte clones that stably express small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting DAP12 for serving as a cellular model of NHD. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis identified a set of 22 genes consistently downregulated in DAP12 knockdown cells. They constituted the molecular network closely related to the network defined by cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, hematological system development and function, and inflammatory response, where NF-kappaB acts as a central regulator. These results suggest that a molecular defect of DAP12 in human monocytes deregulates the gene network pivotal for maintenance of myeloid cell function in NHD.

The siRNA vector construct targeting the DAP12 sequence (SI) and the control vector construct targeting the scrambled sequence (SCR) were generated by using GeneClip U1 Hairpin cloning system (Promega). The vectors were transfected in THP-1 cells by using Lipofectamine LTX reagent. The stable cell lines were selected by incubating them for approximately two months in the feeding medium with inclusion of 200 microgram/ml Hygromycin B. Then, two SI clones named SI5 and SI17, in addition to two SCR clones named SCR1 and SCR4, were selected by limiting dilution of the cells in a manner of a single cell per well plated in a 96-well cell culture plate.

These results suggest that a molecular defect of DAP12 in human monocytes deregulates the gene network pivotal for maintenance of myeloid cell function in NHD. We found that both DAP12 knockdown and control clones were capable of equally responding to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known inducer of morphological differentiation of THP-1 cells, by exhibiting almost similar gene expression profiles between both, following a 24-hour exposure to 50 nM PMA.

Project description:Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), also designated polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL; OMIM 221770), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by progressive presenile dementia and formation of multifocal bone cysts, caused by genetic mutations of DAP12 and TREM2, which constitute a receptor/adapter signaling complex expressed on osteoclasts, dendritic cells, macrophages, and microglia. No Japanese patients with TREM2 mutations have been reported previously. We reported three siblings affected with NHD in a Japanese family. Among them, two died of NHD during the fourth decade of life. The transcriptome was studied in the autopsized brain of one patient. We found a homozygous conversion of a single nucleotide T to C at the second position of intron 3 in the splice-donor consensus site (c.482+2T>C) of the TREM2 gene, resulting in exon 3 skipping. We identified 136 upregulated genes involved in inflammatory response and immune cell trafficking and 188 downregulated genes including a battery of GABA receptor subunits and synaptic proteins in the patient’s brain. Total RNA was isolated from a small piece of autopsized frozen frontal lobe tissues of the patient. In parallel, the normal human frontal lobe RNA (636563; Clontech) was processed for serving as a control. Microarray analysis was performed on Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix). The CEL file data were normalized by the robust multiarray average (RMA) method.

Project description:Polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) is an inherited brain and bone disease. It manifests as dementia and bone fractures. The PLOSL phenotype is caused by loss-of-function mutations in one of the two genes encoding the components of the DAP12/TREM2 receptor complex. The DAP12/TREM2 complex is expressed in cells of the myeloid lineage, including microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). The molecular mechanisms producing the CNS phenotype of PLOSL remain largely unknown. To gain insight into dysfunctional CNS pathways behind PLOSL, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of Dap12 (Tyrobp)-deficient mouse microglial cells. Keywords: knock-out response Transcript profiles of three wild type and three Dap12-deficient primary microglial cultures were analyzed.

To gain insight into dysfunctional CNS pathways behind PLOSL, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of Dap12 (Tyrobp)-deficient mouse brain. In Dap12-deficient mice, we observed alterations in several pathways involved in synaptic function. In agreement with the myelin loss in PLOSL patients, we also saw changes in transcript levels of genes encoding myelin components. Keywords: knockout response Transcript profiles of the midbrain (diencephalon and basal ganglia) of three Dap12-knockout and three heterozygous mice were analyzed.
