ScRNA-seq of brain cells from control and 3xDR mouse brains

ABSTRACT: As important immune cells, microglia undergo a series of alterations during aging that increase the susceptibility to brain dysfunctions. However, the longitudinal characteristics of microglia remain elusive. In this study, we mapped the transcriptional and epigenetic profiles of microglia from 3- to 24-month-old mice. We observed unexpected sex differences and identified age-dependent microglia (ADEM) genes during the aging process. We then compared the characteristics of aging and reactivity in female microglia at the single-cell resolution and epigenetic level. To dissect the functions of aged microglia excluding the influence from other aged brain cells, we established an accelerated microglial turnover model without directly affecting other brain cells. By this model, we achieved aged microglia in non-aged brains and confirmed that aged microglia per se contribute to cognitive decline. Collectively, our work provides a comprehensive resource for decoding the aging process of microglia, shedding light on how microglia maintain brain functions.

Bulk RNA-seq of microglia at different ages

Project description:Microglia are important immune cells in the brain. Microglia undergo a series of alterations during aging and increase the susceptibility to brain dysfunctions. However, the characteristics of microglia during the aging process are not fully understood. In this study, we mapped transcriptional and epigenetic profiles of microglia from 3- to 24-month-old mice. We observed unexpected gender divergences and identified age-dependent microglia (ADEM) genes in the aging process. We then compared characteristics between microglial aging and activation. To dissect the function of aged microglia excluding the influence from other aged brain cells, we established an accelerated microglial turnover model without directly affecting other brain cells. By this model, we achieved aged microglia in non-aged brains and confirmed that aged microglia per se contribute to cognitive decline. Collectively, we provide a comprehensive resource to decode the aging process of microglia, shedding light on how microglia maintain brain functions.

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.

Fate-mapping and functional dissection reveal perilous influence of type I interferon signaling in mouse brain aging

Project description:Aging significantly elevates the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroinflammation is a universal hallmark of neurodegeneration as well as normal brain aging. Which branches of age-related neuroinflammation, and how they precondition the brain toward pathological progression, remain ill-understood. The presence of elevated type I interferon (IFN-I) has been documented in the aged brain, but its role in promoting degenerative processes, such as the loss of neurons in vulnerable regions, has not been studied in depth. To comprehend the scope of IFN-I activity in the aging brain, we surveyed IFN-I-responsive reporter mice at multiple ages. We also examined 5- and 24-month-old mice harboring selective ablation of Ifnar1 in microglia to observe the effects of manipulating this pathway during the aging process using bulk RNA sequencing and histological parameters. We detected age-dependent IFN-I signal escalation in multiple brain cell types from various regions, especially in microglia. Selective ablation of Ifnar1 from microglia in aged mice significantly reduced overall brain IFN-I signature, dampened microglial reactivity, lessened neuronal loss, restored expression of key neuronal genes and pathways, and diminished the accumulation of lipofuscin, a core hallmark of cellular aging in the brain. Overall, our study demonstrates pervasive IFN-I activity during normal mouse brain aging and reveals a pathogenic, pro-degenerative role played by microglial IFN-I signaling in perpetuating neuroinflammation, neuronal dysfunction, and molecular aggregation. These findings extend the understanding of a principal axis of age-related inflammation in the brain, one likely shared with multiple neurological disorders, and provide a rationale to modulate aberrant immune activation to mitigate neurodegenerative process at all stages.

Microglial repopulation rewires and rejuvenates the aged brain

Project description:Changes in microglial form and function contribute to age-related cognitive impairment. Developing methods to target microglia is critical to understand and prevent the adverse effects of aging. Using a specific colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor, our lab has shown that the majority of microglia can be eliminated from the CNS (Elmore et al., 2014). Withdrawal of the CSF1R inhibitor, stimulates brain-wide repopulation with new cells, that express microglial markers (Elmore et al., 2014; Elmore et al., 2015). The impact of these newly repopulated cells on the aged brain has not been explored, but will provide useful insight into the role of microglia in aging. In addition, the therapeutic potential of replacing “primed” or “senescent” microglia in the aged brain with new cells is of great interest. Therefore, our goal was to fully characterize the gene expression profiles of the aged control vs. aged repopulated brains in comparison to young controls.

Alterations of immune cells heterogeneities in the aged zebrafish brain at single-cell resolution II

Project description:Immune cells, the most core part of the immune system of the whole body, could rapidly response to the change of environment. Its roles in tissue homeostasis and disease were fairly clear except brain, an immune privilege site. Previous studies had revealed the contribution of microglia, a tissue-resident macrophage, for brain development and neuronal disease. But it was currently unknown whether the other subtypes of immune cells and which of the microglia populations program their function during different stages of development. Here, we analyzed the genes expression pattern of 26,456 immune cells from the whole zebrafish brain during adult and aged stage. Our analysis uncovered the present of lymphocyte in zebrafish brain, and gradually accumulated with aging. In addition, the number of microglia were reduced bute the diversity were increased in aged brain. Collectively, our data provide insights into zebrafish brain immune cells populations that explain the distinct composition of immune cells in adult and aged brain, which might contribute to understanding the roles of immune cells in aging-associated-disease.

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.
