Brain microglia are maintained and regenerated from a specialized cellular subset

ABSTRACT: Microglia, macrophages of the brain parenchyma, are essential for normal brain development and function as well as local immune responses. However, they can also induce and perpetuate severe brain pathology in certain conditions. Microglia are derived from early, fetal yolk sac (YS) progenitors and they are then maintained locally behind the blood brain barrier (BBB) without any external cellular input. It is thought that all microglia cells, like many other tissue-resident macrophages, have self-renewal capacity to maintain its cellularity. Here we, however, report an identification of a minor microglial stem cell-like cells (MgSCs) that are responsible of microglia expansion and maintenance during development and during steady state. MgSCs resemble somatic, unipotent stem cells: they are self-renewing and able to differentiate to the bulk of sessile microglia which , on the need , can dedifferentiate back to MgSCs. Due to their central role in microglia turnover MgSCs can become valuable, therapeutic targets in neuropathological conditions.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of YS-derived cells and monocyte-derived cells from brain parenchyma and leptomeninges of Ms4a3-Cre: R26-TdTomato: Cx3cr1-gfp mice

Project description:Ms4a3-Cre: R26-TdTomato: Cx3cr1-gfp mice allow discrimination between YS-derivd and monocyte-derived macrophages in the brain parenchyma and leptomeninges by color. We used single cell RNAseq for RNA profiling to compare YS-derived micrglia, monocyte-derived microglia, YS-derived leptomeningeal macrophages, and monocyte-derived leptomeningeal macrophages.

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived primitive macrophages as a cellular platform to model tissue-resident macrophage differentiation and function

Project description:Specialized tissue macrophages arise during embryogenesis from yolk-sac (YS) progenitors that migrate into developing tissues and terminally differentiate in situ. Until recently, it has been impossible to isolate or derive sufficient numbers of YS-derived macrophages for further study, but data now suggest that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be driven to undergo a process reminiscent of YS-hematopoiesis in vitro. We asked whether iPSC-derived primitive macrophages (iMac) can terminally differentiate into specialized macrophages using growth factors and organ-specific cues. Co-culturing murine iMac with iPSC-derived neurons promoted differentiation into microglia-like cells in vitro. Furthermore, murine iMac differentiated in vivo into microglia following injection into the brain, and functional alveolar macrophages after engraftment in the lung.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages share ontogeny with MYB-independent tissue-resident macrophages

Project description:Tissue-resident macrophages such as microglia, Kupffer and Langerhans cells derive from Myb-independent yolk sac (YS) progenitors generated before the emergence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Myb-independent YS-derived resident macrophages self-renew locally, independently of circulating monocytes and HSCs. In contrast, adult blood monocytes as well as infiltrating, gut and dermal macrophages derive from Myb-dependent HSCs. These findings are derived from the mouse, using gene knock-outs and lineage tracing, but their applicability to human development has not been formally demonstrated. Here we use human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a tool to model human hematopoietic development. By using a CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out strategy we show that human iPSC-derived monocytes/macrophages develop in a MYB-independent, RUNX1 and SPI1 (PU.1)-dependent fashion. This result makes human iPSC-derived macrophages developmentally related to and a good model for MYB-independent tissue-resident macrophages such as alveolar and kidney macrophages, microglia, Kupffer and Langerhans cells.

C-Myb+ erythro-myeloid progenitor-derived fetal monocytes give rise to adult tissue-resident macrophages

Project description:Although classified as hematopoietic cells, tissue-resident macrophages are selfrenewing and maintained independently of adult hematopoiesis. While most macrophages originate from embryonic precursors that seed tissues prior to birth, their exact origin is unknown. Using an in utero macrophage depletion strategy and fatemapping of yolk sac (YS) and fetal liver (FL) hematopoiesis, we found that YS macrophages are the main precursors of microglia, while most other macrophages derive from fetal monocytes. Both YS macrophages and fetal monocytes arise from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMP) generated in the YS. In the YS, EMP gave rise to macrophages without monocytic intermediates, while EMP seeding the FL upon the establishment of blood circulation acquired c-Myb expression and gave rise to fetal monocytes that then seed embryonic tissues to differentiate into macrophages. Thus, adult tissue-resident macrophages established from HSC-independent embryonic precursors arise from two different developmental programs.

Project description:Microglia, brain-resident macrophages, have been proposed to play an active role in synaptic refinement and maturation, influencing plasticity and circuit-level connectivity. Using a genetically modified mouse which lacks microglia (Csf1r ∆FIRE/∆FIRE), we investigate the effect on gene expression of the presence or absence of microglia in the developing mouse brain.

Differential plasticity and fate of brain-resident and recruited macrophages during the onset and resolution of neuroinflammation

Project description:Microglia and border-associated macrophages (BAMs) are brain-resident self-renewing cells with important homeostatic functions. However, their fate during and after severe episodes of brain inflammation and their relation to recruited monocyte-derived cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that Trypanosoma brucei parasites invade the brain via its border regions, triggering a disruption of brain barriers and the recruitment of large numbers of monocytes. Fate-mapping combined with single-cell sequencing revealed the remarkable dynamics of resident macrophages, including microglia accumulation around the ventricular ependyma and an expansion of epiplexus cells. Resident macrophages were important for attracting peripheral immune cells and driving a pro-inflammatory response. However, recruited monocyte-derived macrophages reached higher cell densities and exhibited more transcriptional plasticity, adopting anti-microbial gene expression profiles not observed resident macrophages. Remarkably, recruited macrophages were short-lived and rapidly removed upon disease resolution, while activated resident macrophages progressively reverted towards a homeostatic state. Long-term transcriptional alterations were limited for microglia but more pronounced in BAMs. Together our results reveal the diverging responses and dynamics of resident and recruited macrophages upon Trypanosome invasion of the brain.

Single-cell RNA-seq of rat microglia in monoculture and in coculture with neurons and astrocytes

Project description:Microglia, brain resident macrophages, require instruction from the central nervous system microenvironment to maintain their identity, morphology, and to regulate inflammatory responses.
