Systematic comparison of culture media uncovers phenotypic shift of primary human microglia defined by reduced reliance to CSF1R signaling

ABSTRACT: Efforts to understand microglia function in health and diseases have been hindered by the lack of culture models that recapitulate in situ cellular properties. In recent years, the use of serum-free media with brain-derived growth factors (CSF1R ligands and TGF-b1/2) have been favored for the maintenance of rodent microglia as they promote morphological features observed in situ. Here we study the functional and transcriptomic impacts of such media on human microglia. Media formulation had little impact on microglia transcriptome assessed by RNA sequencing which was sufficient to significantly alter microglia capacity to phagocytose myelin debris and to elicit an inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide. When compared to immediately ex vivo microglia from the same donors, the addition of fetal bovine serum to culture media, but not growth factors, was found to aid in the maintenance of key signature genes including those involved in phagocytic processes. A phenotypic shift characterized by CSF1R downregulation in culture correlated with a lack of reliance on CSF1R signaling for survival. Consequently, no improvement in cell survival was observed following culture supplementation with CSF1R ligands. Our study provides better understanding of human microglia in culture, with observations that diverge from those previously made in rodent microglia.

Differential CSF1R signaling enables widespread integration of genetically unmodified human microglia into the mouse brain

Project description:Microglia are long-lived myeloid cells in the central nervous system that are implicated in many neurological diseases. The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells provides an opportunity to develop in vitro human cellular models carrying disease gene mutations complementing existing animal models of disease. Microglia are particularly sensitive to their cellular environment and can adopt a variety of reactive states depending on different pathological conditions which may be difficult to mimic in vitro. Therefore, to best investigate human microglia in vivo, it would be helpful to generate mice whose endogenous microglia are exchanged with human cells without the need of genetic manipulation of donor cells which could alter microglia function. Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) signaling is critical for microglial survival in mice, and humans with CSF1R mutations are born with fewer microglia. We made the surprising discovery that transplanted human pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (hMG) survive pharmacological CSF1R inhibition unlike endogenous mouse microglia. Cellular assays confirmed that CSF1R signaling is necessary for human microglia survival and revealed differential CSF1R signaling with species-specific ligands. Moreover, receptor ligands and small molecule inhibitors acted in a competitive fashion. Based on these insights, we found that transient CSF1R inhibition after cell transplantation led to near-complete and wide-spread repopulation of hMGs into the mouse brain of immunodeficient mice with humanized CSF1 ligand. This approach allows the facile generation of mice whose brain microglia are replaced with genetically unmodified human cells.

Single-cell sequencing of FACS-sorted mouse astrocytes, investigating the effect of absence of microglia in a mouse model of ß-amyloidopathy

Project description:The APPSwe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mouse ß-amyloidopathy mouse model exhibits extracellular Aß deposition, particularly in the neocortex and hippocampus, increasing steadily from about 6 months, with reactive astrogliosis and synapse loss occurring proximal to plaques. We crossed APP/PS1 mice onto genetically modified mice which lack microglia (Csf1r ∆FIRE/∆FIRE) to assess whether Aß plaque deposition and downstream events are altered in brains lacking microglia.

Proteomic analysis of human microglia cells (HMC3) stimulated with anti-inflammatory cytokines using serum-enriched culture conditions

Project description:The immune functions of microglia in the brain are compromised in the presence of tumors that have the ability to “hijack” their pro-inflammatory nature by sending out signals that promote cancer progression. To analyze the tumor-supportive microglia phenotype, human microglia cells (HMC3) were treated with anti-inflammatory cytokines in serum-enriched cell culture media, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS using an Orbitrap QE instrument.

Development and evaluation of a SILAC method for proteomic analysis of rat primary microglia

Project description:Microglia play important and dynamic roles in mediating a variety of physiological and pathological processes during the development, normal function, and degeneration of the central nervous system. We report here the development of a SILAC-labeled model system suitable for mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling in primary rat microglia. A mixed primary glia culture was first established by isolating newborn brain cells from Sprague-Dawley rats and maintaining the culture in a fetal bovine serum-supplemented and chemically defined media containing either the regular amino acids (light label media) or stable isotope-labeled amino acids (heavy label media). After isolation of microglia from the mixed glia cultures, mass spectrometric analysis indicated that the incorporation efficiency of the heavy-labeled amino acids was between 70-80%. Upon stimulation with bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide to induce classical (M1) activation, the light- and heavy-labeled primary microglia responded indistinguishably as judged by the up-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase. More important, the relative quantitation accuracy and proteome coverage obtained by the reported SILAC model allowed for identification of classical microglial activation markers and pathways involved in the proinflammatory response of microglia as determined by bioinformatic analysis. The establishment of this viable primary microglia SILAC model will further expand our capacity for global scale proteomic profiling of pathways mediating the multifaceted microglial responses in various physiological and pathological processes.

RNA-Seq analysis of the retinal pigment epithelial cell line, ARPE19, during a time course of serum deprivation.

Project description:ARPE19 cells, derived from human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), were cultured in serum supplemented media, then the serum was removed, and culture continued in serum free media. We use this culture system as a model for the early stages of Age-related macular degeneration. RNA-Seq was performed on RNAs from seven time points: day0 (serum supplemented), day1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 serum deprived samples.
