Mitochondrial respiration in microglia is essential for response to demyelinating injury but not proliferation

ABSTRACT: Microglia are necessary for CNS function during development and play roles in aging, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and the response to demyelinating injury. Mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) is necessary for conventional T cell proliferation6 and macrophage-dependent immune responses. However, whether mitochondrial RC is essential for microglia proliferation or function is not known. We conditionally deleted the mitochondrial complex III subunit Rieske Iron-Sulfur Protein (RISP) in the microglia of adult mice to assess the requirement of microglial RC for survival, proliferation, and adult CNS function in vivo. Surprisingly, mitochondrial RC function was not required for survival or proliferation of microglia in vivo. RNA-seq analysis showed that loss of RC function in microglia caused changes in gene expression distinct from aged or disease-associated microglia (DAM). Microglia-specific loss of mitochondrial RC function is not sufficient to induce cognitive decline. Amyloid-β plaque coverage decreased and microglial interaction with Amyloid-β plaques increased in the hippocampus of 5xFAD mice with mitochondrial RC-deficient microglia. Microglia-specific loss of mitochondrial RC function did impair remyelination following an acute, reversible demyelinating event. Thus, mitochondrial respiration in microglia is dispensable for proliferation but is essential to maintain a proper response to CNS demyelinating injury.

Analysis of the host transcriptome from demyelinating spinal cord of murine coronavirus infected mice

Project description:We use transcriptome analysis to study the spinal cord transcriptome during MHV-induced demyelinating disease and find important biological pathways for demyelinating pathology. We find evidence of a Th1 cytokine response, ongoing antigen presentation and lymphocyte proliferation, lipid metabolism changes, and eicosanoid inflammation. In addition, we report several genes important for osteoclast function have augmented expression in the CNS during demyelination, suggesting a parallel between the osteoclast and microglial functions in maintaining homeostasis and the fidelity of specialized extracellular matrices in their respective compartments. RNA-seq of mock-infected and MHV-infected spinal cord tissue at 33 days post-infection, the peak of demyelination.

HDAC1/2 are required for microglia identity during development, homeostasis and neurodegeneration in a context-dependent manner [ChIP-seq constitutive knockout]

Project description:Microglia as tissue macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) provide immunological defense and contribute to the establishment and maintenance of CNS homeostasis. Several transcription factors have been described that regulate microglia development and its steady state form, however little is known about the epigenetic signals that control microglia function in vivo. Here, we employed constitutive and inducible mutagenesis in microglia to delete two class I histone deacetylases (HDACs), Hdac1 and 2. Prenatal ablation of Hdac1 and 2 from microglia drastically impaired microglial development with reduced cell number, altered morphology and induction of apoptosis. Comparative transcriptomic profiling revealed an essential role of Hdac1/2 in the regulation of microglia survival and expansion. Mechanistically, hyperacetylation at H3K9 and H3K27 was found at the promoters of pro-apoptotic and cell cycle genes in the absence of Hdac1/2. In contrast, Hdac1/2 were not required in adult microglia during homeostasis. In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, suppression of Hdac1/2 in microglia, but not in neuroectodermal cells, remarkably displayed substantial decrease in amyloid load and improved cognitive impairment by enhancing microglial amyloid phagocytosis. Collectively, we report a previously unknown role of epigenetic factors that differentially affect microglia development, homeostasis and disease that could potentially be utilized therapeutically.

Bulk RNA-seq of FACS sorted astrocytes upon microglial depletion

Project description:As the professional phagocyte in the central nervous system (CNS), microglia are the primary scavenger removing cell corpses. The failure of microglia in debris clearance influences the normal CNS function. Meanwhile, microglia undergo turnover during the whole lifespan. If dead microglia are not timely removed, accumulated corpses may influence the CNS function. The microglial corpse clearance is hereby crucial for CNS homeostasis. However, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we investigated how microglial corpses are removed. We found that microglial corpses are mainly phagocytosed by astrocytes, mediated by C4b opsonization. Then engulfed microglial fragments are degraded in astrocytes via the RUBICON-dependent LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), a form of non-canonical autophagy. The interference of the C4b-mediated engulfment and its subsequent LAP disrupt the microglial debris removal and degradation, respectively. Together, we elucidated cellular and molecular mechanisms of microglial debris removal, extending the knowledge on how the CNS homeostasis is maintained.

RNA-seq to investigate sex-dependent changes in microglia in Cst7 knockout mice crossed with a mouse model of amyloid-driven Alzheimer's Disease

Project description:Microglial endolysosomal dysfunction is strongly implicated in neurodegeneration. Transcriptomic studies show that a microglial state characterised by a set of genes involved in endolysosomal function is induced in both mouse Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) models and in human AD brain, and that the onset of this state is emphasised in females. Cst7 (Cystatin F) is among the most highly unregulated genes in these microglia. However, the sex-specific function of Cst7 in neurodegenerative disease is not understood. Here, we crossed Cst7 -/- mice with the App NL-G-F mouse to test the role of Cst7 in a model of amyloid-driven AD.

Identification of a Unique TGF-β Dependent Molecular and Functional Signature in Microglia

Project description:Microglia are myeloid cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that participate both in normal CNS function and disease. We investigated the molecular signature of microglia and identified 239 genes and 8 microRNAs that were uniquely or highly expressed in microglia vs. myeloid and other immune cells. Out of 239 genes, 106 were enriched in microglia as compared to astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons. This microglia signature was not observed in microglial lines or in monocytes recruited to the CNS and was also observed in human microglia. Based on this signature, we found a crucial role for TGF-β in microglial biology that included: 1) the requirement of TGF-β for the in vitro development of microglia that express the microglial molecular signature characteristic of adult microglia; and 2) the absence of microglia in CNS TGF-β1 deficient mice. Our results identify a unique microglial signature that is dependent on TGF-β signaling which provides insights into microglial biology and the possibility of targeting microglia for the treatment of CNS disease.

Microglial proteomic signatures in APPPS1 and APP-KI mice

Project description:Microglial dysfunction is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer´s disease (AD), but little is known about proteome-wide changes in microglia during the course of AD pathogenesis and their consequences for microglial function. Here, we performed an in-depth proteomic characterization of microglia in two AD mouse models, the overexpression APPPS1 and the knock-in AppNL-G-F (APP-KI) model. Proteome changes were followed from pre-deposition to early, middle and advanced stages of amyloid plaque pathology, revealing a large panel of Microglial Amyloid Response Proteins (MARPs) that reflect a heterogeneity of microglial alterations triggered by Adeposition. We demonstrate that the occurrence of MARPs coincided with the deposition of fibrillar A, recruitment of microglia to amyloid plaques and phagocytic dysfunction. While the proteomic and functional microglial changes were already markedly seen in 3 months old APPPS1 mice, they were delayed in the APP-KI model that generates substantially less fibrillar A. The identified microglial proteomic fingerprints of AD provide a valuable resource for functional studies of novel molecular targets and potential biomarkers for monitoring AD progression or therapeutic efficacy.

Dap12 microglia

Project description:Polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) is an inherited brain and bone disease. It manifests as dementia and bone fractures. The PLOSL phenotype is caused by loss-of-function mutations in one of the two genes encoding the components of the DAP12/TREM2 receptor complex. The DAP12/TREM2 complex is expressed in cells of the myeloid lineage, including microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). The molecular mechanisms producing the CNS phenotype of PLOSL remain largely unknown. To gain insight into dysfunctional CNS pathways behind PLOSL, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of Dap12 (Tyrobp)-deficient mouse microglial cells. Keywords: knock-out response Transcript profiles of three wild type and three Dap12-deficient primary microglial cultures were analyzed.

Location of Neonatal Microglia Drives Small Extracellular Vesicles Content and Biological Functions

Project description:Combining proteomics and systems biology analyses, we demonstrated that neonatal microglial cells derived from two different CNS locations (cortex and spinal cord) displayed different phenotypes upon different physiological or pathological conditions. These cells also exhibited great variability in terms of both cellular and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) protein contents and levels. Bioinformatics data analysis showed that the cortical microglia had anti-inflammatory and neurogenesis/tumorigenesis properties, while the spinal cord microglia was rather involved in inflammatory response process. Of interest, while both sEVs microglia sources enhanced growth of DRGs axons, only the spinal cord-derived sEVs microglia under LPS stimulation significantly attenuated glioma proliferation. These results were confirmed through neurite outgrowth assays in DRGs cell line and glioma proliferation analysis in 3D spheroid cultures. Results from these in vitro assays indicated that the microglia localized at different CNS regions can ensure different biological functions. Together, these works indicate that neonatal microglia locations regulate their physiological and pathological functional fates, and could explain the high prevalence of brain vs. spinal cord glioma in adults.
