Single cell RNA sequencing data of brain myeloid cells after experimental stroke

ABSTRACT: Acute stroke triggers extensive changes to myeloid immune cell populations in the brain that may be targets for limiting brain damage and enhancing repair. Immunomodulatory approaches will be most effective with precise manipulation of discrete myeloid cell phenotypes in time and space. Here, we investigate how stroke alters mononuclear myeloid cell composition and phenotypes at single-cell resolution and key spatial patterns. Our results show that multiple reactive microglial states and monocyte-derived populations contribute to an extensive myeloid cell repertoire in post-stroke brains. We identify important overlaps and distinctions among different cell types/states that involve ontogeny- and spatial-related properties. Notably, brain connectivity with infarcted tissue underpins the pattern of local and remote altered cell accumulation and reactivity. Our discoveries suggest a global but anatomically governed brain myeloid cell response to stroke that comprises diverse phenotypes arising through intrinsic cell ontogeny factors interacting with exposure to spatially organized brain damage and neuro-axonal cues.

Stroke induces disease-specific myeloid cells in the brain parenchyma and pia

Project description:Inflammation triggers secondary brain damage after stroke. The meninges and other CNS border compartments serve as invasion sites for leukocyte influx into the brain thus promoting tissue damage after stroke. However, the post-ischemic immune response of border compartments compared to brain parenchyma remains poorly characterized . Here, we deeply characterize tissue-resident leukocytes in meninges and brain parenchyma by flow cytometry, histology, and single cell transcriptomics after experimental stroke and discover that leukocytes respond differently to stroke depending on their site of residence. We thereby discover a unique phenotype of myeloid cells exclusive to the brain after stroke. These stroke-associated myeloid cells partially resemble neurodegenerative disease-associated microglia. They are mainly of resident microglial origin, partially conserved in humans and exhibit a lipid-phagocytosing phenotype. Blocking markers specific for these cells partially ameliorates stroke outcome thus providing a potential therapeutic target. The injury-response of myeloid cells in the CNS is thus compartmentalized, adjusted to the type of injury and may represent a therapeutic target.

Microglia transcriptome in a rat model of ischemic stroke

Project description:Microglia are key regulators of inflammatory response after stroke and brain injury. Here we profiled the microglia transcriptome isolated from a spontaneously hypertensive rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. We identified an extensive and persistent upregulation of anti-inflammatory M2-like patterns after stroke and a mild up-regulation of pro-inflammatory M1-like patterns at later stage. We also found that younger brains showed larger microglial response than middle aged brains. Moreover, beyond the standard M1/M2 dichotomy, a wide spectrum of novel microglial polarization states was activated in response to stroke, particularly the phenotypes related to Tlr2 and dietary fatty acids stimulation.

Single-Cell Analysis Uncovers Dramatic Alteration of Microglia Heterogeneity after Ischemic Stroke

Project description:Microglia are resident myeloid cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that regulate homeostasis and protect CNS from damage and infection. The phenotype of microglia is critical in regulating the propagation and resolution of inflammatory responses after ischemic stroke. However, little is known of its complexity and heterogeneity in the above context. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of over 11,000 cells from the mice ischemic brain tissues, we demonstrated a previously undefined molecular heterogeneity among microglia clusters following ischemic stroke.

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.

Differential gene expression in TREM1 -/- vs +/+ myeloid cells 48h after MCAo-RP

Project description:Stroke is a multiphasic progress characterized by neuron damage due to hypoxia followed by secondary damage from the subsequent inflammatory immune response. Infiltrating myeloid cells induce cerebral damage through pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, proteases and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) is exclusively expressed on myeloid cells and acts as an amplifier of pro-inflammatory innate immune responses. Using microarray analysis, we aim to identify the expression differences and functional change of these myeloid cells after TREM1 knockout in mice post stroke.

Innate immune memory after brain injury drives inflammatory cardiac dysfunction

Project description:Besides the local inflammatory immune response in the brain, stroke also alters systemic immunity. Within the acute and sub-acute phase, the systemic immune response to stroke has been described in detail over last decades. The long-term systemic immunological consequences after stroke are however still elusive. Therefore, a better understanding of these long-lasting chronic effects of stroke on systemic immunity and its impact on remote organ function and secondary comorbidities is needed. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to investigate the chronic effect of stroke on the transcriptomic signatures of resident myeloid immune cells in various peripheral organs remote from the brain, including the lung, heart, liver, spleen, blood and bone marrow. We observed that monocytes in peripheral organs and in the bone marrow adopt a pro-inflammatory phenotype which persists chronically after stroke. Moreover, the pro-inflammatory profile of monocytes in the bone marrow was transmissible by BM transplantation to naïve recipients, indicating potentially epigenetically imprinted chronic innate immune memory after stroke. Indeed, by performing single-nuclei ATAC sequencing, we found that post-stroke myeloid immune memory after stroke is likely mediated by IL-1b-driven mechanisms, and that neutralization of the post-stroke increase in circulating IL-1b prevented myeloid immune memory.
