Microglia aging advances through intermediate states that drive inflammatory activation and cognitive decline

ABSTRACT: TGFB-signaling is important for the establishment of microglia homeostasis; however, it's role in aging has remained vague. We found that Tgfb1 and TGFB signaling is altered during hippocampal microglia aging. To investigate the effects that microglia-derived Tgfb1 has on microglia aging, we performed scRNA-Seq on Cd11b+ cells from the hippocampus of mature mice where Tgfb1 had been ablated from Cx3cr1 cells post-maturity.

Cx3cr1-deficient microglia exhibit a premature aging transcriptome

Project description:CX3CR1, one of the highest expressed genes in microglia in mice and humans, is implicated in numerous microglial functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Cx3cr1 signaling are not well understood. Here, we analyzed transcriptomes of Cx3cr1-deficient microglia under varying conditions by RNA-Seq. In 2 mos mice, Cx3cr1 deletion resulted in the downregulation of a subset of immune-related genes, without substantial epigenetic changes in markers of active chromatin. Surprisingly, Cx3cr1-deficient microglia from young mice exhibited a transcriptome consistent with that of aged Cx3cr1-sufficient animals, suggesting a premature aging transcriptomic signature. Immunohistochemical analysis of microglia in young and aged mice revealed that loss of Cx3cr1 modulates microglial morphology in a compatible fashion. Our results suggest that CX3CR1 may regulate microglial function in part by modulating the expression levels of a subset of inflammatory genes during chronological aging, making Cx3cr1-deficient mice useful for studying aged microglia.

SIRT1 deficiency in microglia contributes to cognitive decline in aging and neurodegeneration via epigenetic regulation of IL-1beta

Project description:Aging is the predominant risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. One key phenotype as brain ages is the aberrant innate immune response characterized by proinflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aging-associated proinflammation are poorly defined. Whether chronic inflammation plays a causal role in cognitive decline in aging and neurodegeneration has not been established. Here we established a mechanistic link between chronic inflammation and aging microglia, and demonstrated a causal role of aging microglia in neurodegenerative cognitive deficits. Expression of microglial SIRT1 reduces with the aging of microglia. Genetic reduction of microglial SIRT1 elevates IL-1Î² selectively, and exacerbates cognitive deficits in aging and in transgenic mouse models of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Interestingly, the selective activation of IL-1Î² transcription by SIRT1 deficiency is likely mediated through hypomethylating the proximal promoter of IL-1Î². Consistent with our findings in mice, selective hypomethylation of IL-1Î² at two CpG sites are found in normal aging humans and demented patients with tauopathy. Our findings reveal a novel epigenetic mechanism in aging microglia that contributes to cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative diseases.

Microglia aging progresses through functional intermediate steps

Project description:Aged microglia contribute to maladaptive inflammation, but little is known about their progression from homeostasis to dysfunction during aging. Here, we analyze the spatiotemporal kinetics of microglial aging in the hippocampus. Spatially, the dynamics of age-related inflammatory changes in microglia vastly differ across adjoining regions. Using single cell RNA-Sequencing and in vitro approaches, we find that microglia aging proceeds progressively through functional intermediate states that are necessary for inflammatory activation.
