Monocyte-derived IL-6 Programs Microglia to Rebuild Damaged Brain Vasculature

ABSTRACT: Cerebrovascular injury (CVI) is a common pathology caused by infections, injury, stroke, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune disease. Rapid resolution of a CVI requires a coordinated innate immune response. In this study, we sought mechanistic insights into how CNS infiltrating monocytes program resident microglia to mediate angiogenesis and cerebrovascular repair following intracerebral hemorrhage. In the penumbrae of human stroke brain lesions, we identified a subpopulation of microglia that express VEGFA. These cells, termed repair associated microglia (RAM), were also observed in a rodent model of CVI and co-expressed IL-6Ra. Cerebrovascular repair did not occur in IL-6 knockouts or in mice lacking microglial IL-6Ra expression, and single cell transcriptomic analyses revealed faulty RAM programming in the absence of IL-6 signaling. Infiltrating CCR2+ monocytes were the primary source of IL-6 following CVI and were required to endow microglia with proliferative and pro-angiogenic properties. Faulty RAM programming in the absence of IL-6 or inflammatory monocytes resulted in poor cerebrovascular repair, neuronal destruction, and sustained neurological deficits that were all restored via exogenous IL-6 administration. These data provide a molecular and cellular basis for how monocytes instruct microglia to repair damaged brain vasculature and promote functional recovery after injury.

Temporally Distinct Myeloid Cell Reponses Mediate Damage and Repair After Cerebrovascular Injury.

Project description:Cerebrovascular injuries can cause severe edema and inflammation that adversely affect human health. Here, we observed recanalization after successful endovascular thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion was associated with cerebral edema and poor clinical outcomes in patients who experienced hemorrhagic transformation. To understand this process, we developed a cerebrovascular injury model using transcranial ultrasound that enabled spatiotemporal evaluation of resident and peripheral myeloid cells. We discovered that injurious and reparative responses diverged based on time and cellular origin. Resident microglia initially stabilized damaged vessels in a purinergic receptor-dependent manner, which was followed by influx of myelomonocytic cells that caused severe edema. Prolonged blockade of myeloid cell recruitment with anti-adhesion molecule therapy prevented severe edema but also promoted neuronal destruction and fibrosis by interfering with vascular repair later orchestrated by pro-inflammatory monocytes and pro-angiogenic repair-associated microglia (RAM). These data demonstrate how temporally distinct myeloid cell responses can contain, exacerbate, and ultimately repair a cerebrovascular injury.

Developmentally controlled expression of Cxcr4 by hematopoietic progenitors allows tracing of monocyte function in stroke

Project description:Monocyte-derived and tissue-resident macrophages, such as microglia, belong to independent lineages with distinct functions in steady state. During inflammation, however, changes in phenotypes and transcriptional profiles make it difficult to assess their respective roles in pathology. Here, we report that developmentally controlled expression of Cxcr4 by hematopoietic progenitors allows highly specific inducible lineage tracing of hematopoietic stem cell-derived monocytes during inflammation. In two stroke models, we found that monocytes recruited to the brain were confined to the lesion and its surrounding during the acute phase. However, monocytes did not engraft in peri-lesional tissue, but were enclosed in scar tissue by microglia and astrocytes after completed repair. Transcriptional profiles of brain monocytes and microglia reflect major differences in signaling pathways, paracrine mediators, and proliferative behavior. Initial recruitment and subsequent enclosure of monocytes required Cxcr4. Our data show that CXCR4 signaling regulates a specific monocyte-mediated contribution to injury and repair in 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.

An-Gong-Niu-Huang-Wan (AGNHW) regulates cerebral blood flow by improving cerebrovascular reactivity and microcirculation disturbances after stroke

Project description:Our previous work has proved that successful brain repair requires the restoration of cerebrovascular regulation and effective management of cerebral blood flow. An-Gong-Niu-Huang-Wan (AGNHW) has been used in the treatment of ischemic stroke for over 220 years, but its effect on cerebral blood flow regulation has not been reported. In this study, distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) mice were used to uncover whether AGNHW has a role in regulating cerebral blood flow after ischemic stroke, and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that AGNHW significantly reduced infarct volume, oxidative stress and inflammatory response, alleviated ischemic injury and promoted functional recovery after cerebral ischemia. AGNHW improved the hypoperfusion state in the ischemic cortex, cerebrovascular reactivity, and the velocity and flux of red blood cells in the capillaries. Furthermore, AGNHW improved endothelium-dependent microcirculation disorders, as evidenced by regulating the expression of genes related to cerebrovascular function and endothelium-dependent vasoactive mediators. In conclusion, AGNHW improved cerebral blood flow in ischemic cortex after stroke. This effect was achieved by the regulation of cerebrovascular response to hypoperfusion, cerebrovascular reactivity and endothelium-dependent microcirculation disorders.

IL4 improves white matter repair after stroke

Project description:The repair of white matter damage is of paramount importance for functional recovery after brain injuries.We report that interleukin-4 (IL-4) promotes oligodendrocyte regeneration and remyelination. IL-4 receptor expression was detected in a variety of glial cells after ischemic brain injury, including oligodendrocyte lineage cells. IL-4 deficiency in knockout mice resulted in greater deterioration of white matter over 14 days after stroke. Consistent with these findings, intranasal delivery of IL-4 nanoparticles after stroke improved white matter integrity and attenuated long-term sensorimotor and cognitive deficits in wild-type mice, as revealed by histological immunostaining, electron microscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, and electrophysiology. The selective effect of IL-4 on remyelination was verified in an ex vivo organotypic model of demyelination. By leveraging primary oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), microglia-depleted mice, and conditional OPC-specific PPARγ knockout mice, we discovered a direct salutary effect of IL-4 on oligodendrocyte differentiation that was mediated by the PPARγ axis. Our findings reveal a new regenerative role of IL-4 in the CNS, which lies beyond its known immunoregulatory functions on microglia/macrophages or peripheral lymphocytes. Therefore, intranasal IL-4 delivery may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to improve white matter integrity in stroke and other brain injuries.

Transcriptomic changes of mouse monocytes and macrophages after ischemic stroke

Project description:Blood monocytes/macrophages infiltrate the brain after ischemic stroke and critically influence brain injury and regeneration. We investigated stroke-induced transcriptomic changes of monocytes/macrophages by RNA sequencing profiling, using a mouse model of permanent focal cerebral ischemia. Compared to non-ischemic conditions, brain ischemia induced only moderate genomic changes in blood monocytes, but triggered robust genomic reprogramming in monocytes/macrophages invading the brain. Surprisingly, functional enrichment analysis of the transcriptome of brain macrophages revealed significant overrepresentation of biological processes linked to neurovascular remodeling, such as angiogenesis and axonal regeneration, as early as 5 days after stroke, suggesting a previously underappreciated role for macrophages in initiating post-stroke brain repair. Upstream Regulator analysis predicted peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) as a master regulator driving the transcriptional reprogramming in post-stroke brain macrophages. Importantly, myeloid cell-specific PPARγ knockout (mKO) mice demonstrated lower post-stroke angiogenesis and neurogenesis than wild-type mice, which correlated significantly with the exacerbation of post-stroke neurological deficits in mKO mice. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel repair-enhancing transcriptome in brain macrophages during post-stroke neurovascular remodeling. As a master switch controlling genomic reprogramming, PPARγ is a rational therapeutic target for promoting and maintaining beneficial macrophage functions, facilitating neurorestoration, and improving long-term functional recovery after ischemic stroke.

Innate immune memory after brain injury drives inflammatory cardiac dysfunction [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:The enormous medical burden of stroke is not only due to the brain injury itself and the acute systemic effects, but is largely determined by chronic comorbidities that develop secondarily after stroke. We hypothesized that the high rate of comorbidity developing after a stroke might have a shared immunological cause, however, the chronic effects of brain injury on systemic immunity have so far been barely investigated. Here, we identified myeloid innate immune memory as a cause of remote organ dysfunction after stroke. Using single-cell sequencing, we identified persistent pro-inflammatory transcriptomic changes in resident monocytes/macrophages in multiple organs one month after experimental ischemic brain injury, which was particularly abundant in the heart and associated with the development of cardiac fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. A similar phenotype was seen in myocardial autopsy samples from stroke versus control patients. We observed chronic functional changes in myeloid hematopoiesis driven by post-stroke IL-1-mediated epigenetic changes. These alterations could be transplanted to naïve recipient mice and were sufficient to induce cardiac dysfunction. By effectively blocking the trafficking of pro-inflammatory monocytes from the bone marrow to the heart using a dual CCR2/5 inhibitor, we successfully prevented post-stroke cardiac dysfunction. This approach holds promising potential as a novel immune-targeted secondary prevention therapy. We anticipate that the epigenetic immune reprogramming mechanisms detailed here for the brain-heart axis could be generalized to provide a novel framework for explaining the development of various comorbidities after acute tissue injury in remote organs.

Interaction between subventricular zone microglia and neural stem cells impacts the neurogenic response in a mouse model of cortical ischemic stroke

Project description:After a stroke, the neurogenic response from the subventricular zone (SVZ) to repair the brain is limited. Microglia, as an integral part of the distinctive SVZ microenvironment, control neural stem / precursor cell (NSPC) behavior. Here, we show that discrete stroke-associated SVZ microglial clusters negatively impact the innate neurogenic response, and we propose a repository of relevant microglia–NSPC ligand–receptor pairs. After photothrombosis, a mouse model of ischemic stroke, the altered SVZ niche environment leads to immediate activation of microglia in the niche and an abnormal neurogenic response, with cell-cycle arrest of neural stem cells and neuroblast cell death. Pharmacological restoration of the niche environment increases the SVZ-derived neurogenic repair and microglial depletion increases the formation and survival of newborn neuroblasts in the SVZ. Therefore, we propose that altered cross-communication between microglial subclusters and NSPCs regulates the extent of the innate neurogenic repair response in the SVZ after stroke.

Effects of Trem2 depletion on gene expressions in a mouse photothrombotic stroke model

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a major threat to public health. Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is a double-edged sword for neuronal survival after stroke. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) is specifically expressed on the surface of myeloid cell, including microglia. Here, we applied a photothrombotic mouse model of stroke to better understand the role of Trem2 in post-stroke neuroinflammation. In this model, Trem2 was sufficiently induced with sustainably elevated inflammatory responses. Our results demonstrated that Trem2-depletion can ameliorate ischemic injury with enhanced neuronal survival, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and improved neurological functions. Our results suggested that Trem2 depletion is neuroprotective during ischemic stroke.
