Sex-dependent APOE4 Neutrophil-microglia interactions drive cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's Disease

ABSTRACT: APOE4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with increased odds ratios in females. Targeting amyloid plaques shows modest improvement in male non-APOE4 carriers. Leveraging single-cell transcriptomics across APOE variants in both sexes, multiplex flow cytometry, and validation in two independent cohorts of APOE4 female AD patients, we identify a new subset of neutrophils interacting with microglia associated with cognitive impairment. This phenotype is defined by increased IL-17 and IL-1 co-expressed gene modules in blood neutrophils and in microglia of cognitively impaired female APOE e4 carriers, showing increased infiltration to the AD brain. APOE4 female IL-17+ neutrophils upregulated the immunosuppressive cytokines IL-10 and TGFB and immune checkpoints, including LAG-3 and PD-1, associated with accelerated immune aging. Deletion of APOE4 in neutrophils reduced this immunosuppressive phenotype and restored the microglial response to neurodegeneration (MGnD), limiting plaque pathology in AD mice. Mechanistically, IL-17F upregulated in APOE4 neutrophils interacts with microglial IL-17RA to suppress the induction of MGnD phenotype, and blocking this axis supported cognitive improvement in AD mice. These findings provide a translational basis to target IL-17F in APOE e4 female carriers with cognitive impairment.

Peripherally-expressed apoE4 impairs brain functions and exacerbates amyloid pathogenesis by compromising cerebrovascular functions

Project description:The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) gene is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). ApoE is a lipid carrier abundantly expressed in both brain and periphery. As peripheral apoE is separated from brain apoE by the blood-brain barrier, it remains unclear whether peripheral apoE impacts brain functions and AD pathogenesis. To investigate this, we developed novel mouse models that conditionally express human APOE3 or APOE4 only in the liver with no detectable apoE in the brain. We found that liver-expressed apoE4 compromised synaptic plasticity and cognitive behaviors likely by impairing cerebrovascular functions. Remarkably, liver-expressed apoE4 exacerbated brain amyloid pathology, whereas apoE3 reduced it. Our findings demonstrate a pathogenic effect of peripheral apoE4, providing strong rationale for targeting peripheral apoE to treat AD.

Retinal microglia transition to a neurodegenerative MGnD phenotype in glaucoma.

Project description:The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and a decreased risk of glaucoma, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we find that in two mouse glaucoma models and in human glaucomatous retinas, microglia transition to a neurodegenerative (MGnD) phenotype characterized by upregulation of Apoe and Lgals3 (Galectin-3). Mice in which Apoe was targeted in microglia or carrying the human APOE4 allele were protected from retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss despite elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Similar to Apoe–/– retinal microglia, APOE4 microglia did not upregulate MGnD genes, including Lgals3, following IOP elevation. Genetic and pharmacologic targeting of Galectin-3 ameliorated RGC degeneration, and Galectin-3 expression was attenuated in human APOE4 glaucoma samples. These results demonstrate that impaired activation of APOE4 microglia is protective in glaucoma, and that the APOE-Galectin-3 signaling pathway can be targeted to treat this blinding disease.
