Transcriptional profiling of human microglia reveals grey-white matter heterogeneity and multiple sclerosis-associated changes

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.

Multiple sclerosis cortical normal-appearing grey matter and control grey matter

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the brain. Among characteristics of MS pathology are cortical grey matter abnormalities, which have been linked to clinical signs such as cognitive impairment. To understand MS cortical grey matter pathogenesis, we performed differential gene expression analysis of MS normal appearing grey matter (NAGM) and control grey matter. HLA-DRB1 is the transcript with highest expression in MS NAGM with a bimodal distribution among the examined cases. Genotyping revealed that every case with the MS-associated HLA-DR15 haplotype also shows high HLA-DRB1 expression. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the higher expression of HLA-DRB1 in HLA-DRB1*15:01 cases at the protein level. Analysis of grey matter lesion size revealed a significant increase of cortical lesion size in cases with high HLA-DRB1 expression. Our data indicate that increased HLA-DRB1 expression in the brain of MS patients may be an important factor in how the HLA-DR15 haplotype contributes to MS risk in the target organ.

Unique microglia expression profile in developing white matter.

Project description:Recently we demonstrated that amoeboid microglia in white matter regions are essential for proper oligodendrocyte homeostasis and myelinogenesis in the first postnatal week of mice. Amoeboid microglia in the corpus callosum change their activation profile already within few days after postnatal day (P)7 and microglia of the cerebellum show similar features to callosal microglia. Here we expanded our previous transcriptional analysis and performed bulk RNA sequencing of microglia during development in a detailed way in P7, P10 and P42 microglia from corpus callosum, cortex and cerebellum. The goal of this study was to identify a specific gene profile for both, white matter and grey matter microglia during development.

Gene expression of white and grey matter demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter from Multiple Sclerosis leukocortial lesions of human post-mortem tissue

Project description:Using laser capture microscopy, white (WM) and grey matter (GM) demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter was collected from histologically verified leukocortical lesions from snap-frozen human post mortem tissuederived from Multiple Sclerosis patients. Our data shows large differences in gene expression in WM and GM demyelinated areas (compared to their respective normal appearing matter) even when the demyelinated areas are spatially connected such as in leukocortical lesions. Thus, we show that WM demyelinated areas and GM demyelinated areas are distinct entities with distinct pathology. Therefore findings observed in WM demyelinated areas cannot be generalized to GM demyelinated areas.

Comparative proteomic profiling identifies reciprocal expression of mitochondrial proteins between white and grey matter lesions from multiple sclerosis brains

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where ongoing demyelination and remyelination failure are the major factors for progressive neurological disability. In this report, we employed a comprehensive proteomic approach and immunohistochemical (IHC) validation to gaininsight into the pathobiological mechanisms that may be associated with the progressive phase of MS disease. Isolated proteins from myelinated regions, demyelinated white matter lesions (WMLs), and grey-matter lesions (GMLs) of well-characterized progressive MS brain tissues were subjected to label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ-MS). Using a system-biology approach, we detected increased expression of proteins belonging to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and oxidative phosphorylatio pathway in WMLs. Intriguingly, many of these proteins and pathways had opposite expression patterns in GMLs of progressive MS brains. A comparison to the huma MitoCarta database mapped the mitochondrial proteins to mitochondrial subunits in both WMLs and GMLs. Taken together, we provide evidence of opposite expression of mitochondrial proteins in response to demyelination of white- and grey-matter regions in progressive MS brain.

White matter aging drives microglial diversity

Project description:Aging results in both grey and white matter degeneration, but the specific microglial responses are unknown. Using single-cell RNA sequencing from white and grey matter separately, we identified white matter associated microglia (WAM), which share parts of the disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and are characterized by the activation of genes implicated in phagocytic activity and lipid metabolism. WAM depend on triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) signaling and are aging dependent. In the aged brain, WAM form independently of apolipoprotein E (APOE), which is in contrast to mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, in which microglia with WAM gene signature are generated prematurely and in an APOE-dependent pathway similar to DAM. Within the white matter, microglia frequently cluster in nodules, where they are engaged in clearing degenerated myelin. Thus, WAM may represent a potentially protective response required to clear degenerated myelin accumulating during white matter aging and disease.
