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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

Brain injury accelerates the onset of a reversible age-related microglial phenotype associated with hyperphagocytosis and inflammatory neurodegeneration

Project description:Lipofuscin is an autofluorescent (AF) pigment formed by lipids and misfolded proteins that accumulates in post-mitotic cells with advanced age. Here we immunophenotyped microglia in the brain of old C57BL/6 mice (>18 months-old) and demonstrate that in comparison to young mice, one third of old microglia are AF, characterized by profound changes in lipid and iron content, phagocytic activity, and oxidative stress. Pharmacological depletion of microglia in old mice eliminated the AF microglia following repopulation and reversed microglial dysfunction. Age-related neurological deficits and neurodegeneration after traumatic brain injury (TBI) were attenuated in old mice lacking AF microglia. Furthermore, hyperphagocytic activity and lipid accumulation in microglia persisted for up to one year after TBI, was modified by Apoe4 genotype, and chronically driven by phagocyte-mediated oxidative stress. Thus, AF may reflect a pathological state in aging microglia associated with hyperphagocytosis and inflammatory neurodegeneration that can be further accelerated by TBI.

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.

TMAO promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation of microglia aggravating neurological injury in stroke through FTO/IGF2BP2

Project description:Stroke is a kind of cerebrovascular disease with high mortality. TMAO has been shown to aggravate stroke outcomes, but its mechanism remains unclear. Mice were treated with TMAO in normal saline by oral gavage for 14 consecutive days. Then, mice were made into MCAO models. Neurological score, infarct volume, neuronal damage and markers associated with inflammation were assessed. Since microglia played a crucial role in stroke, microglia of MCAO mice were isolated for high-throughput sequencing to identify the most differentially expressed gene following TMAO treatment. Afterward, the downstream pathways of TMAO were investigated using primary microglia. Our results demonstrated that TMAO promoted the release of inflammatory cytokines in the brain of MCAO mice and promoted the activation of OGD/R microglial inflammasome, thereby exacerbating stroke outcomes. FTO/IGF2BP2 inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation in OGD/R microglia by downregulating the m6A level of NLRP3, TMAO can inhibit the expression of FTO and IGF2BP2, thus promoting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in OGD/R microglia. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that TMAO promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation of microglia aggravating neurological injury in stroke through FTO/IGF2BP2.

RNA Sequencing of WT Aged Vehicle vs. HPBCD Infarcts

Project description:We systematically characterized the transcriptomes of stroke infarcts in vehicle- and HPβCD-treated aged (18-month-old) mice by performing bulk RNA-Seq on infarcted brain tissue collected 7 weeks after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion + hypoxia (DH) stroke. The DE analysis revealed 991 upregulated genes and 1,876 downregulated genes. HPβCD treatment upregulated intracellular cholesterol transporters, lipoproteins, and lipoprotein receptors, such as Npc1, Npc2, Apoe, Trem2, Abca1, Vldlr, and Hdlbp, and downregulated Ffar1, Lrpb1, and Dgkb. These alterations in lipid metabolism suggest that HPβCD aids in the restoration of lipid homeostasis by 7 weeks after stroke. In addition, the DE analysis revealed a downregulation of genes involved in chemotaxis, including Cx3cr1, Cxcl5, and Ccr6, and innate and adaptive immune responses, including Mmd2, Mzb1, Btla, Jchain, and Igkv5-48. Correspondingly, there was an upregulation of anti-inflammatory genes, such as Tgfb1, Tgfb2, P2ry2, and Il18bp. Next, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of the RNA-Seq data using GSEA, which revealed significant enrichment of various biological processes in infarcts of HPβCD-treated aged mice, including (i) collagen formation, (ii) regulation of angiogenesis, (iii) lipid catabolic process, (iv) regulation of autophagy, and (v) regulation of apoptotic process. These results indicate that HPβCD treatment promotes lipid metabolism and angiogenesis and dampens chronic inflammation in infarcts of aged mice at 7 weeks after stroke.

VDR-dependent signaling modulates neuroinflammation in the acute phase of ischemic stroke

Project description:VDR deficiency in microglia markedly aggravated infarct volumes, neurological deficits, and neuroinflammation after cerebral ischemia. To investigate the role of VDR in microglia-regulated neuroinflammation, we performed RNA-seq analysis on microglia isolated from poststroke microglia-conditional VDR knockout (Vdr-cKO) mice and littermate controls. VDR elimination dramatically alters the gene expression profiles of postischemic microglia, implying that vitamin D signaling play a crucial role in microglia-modulated stroke pathogenesis.
