Microglial REV-ERBα regulates inflammation and lipid droplet formation to drive tauopathy

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease is associated with disrupted circadian rhythms and clock gene expression. REV-ERBα (Nr1d1) is a circadian transcriptional repressor involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and macrophage function. While global REV-ERBα deletion increases microglial activation and mitigates amyloid plaque formation, the cell-autonomous effects of microglial REV-ERBα deletion in healthy brain and in tauopathy are unexplored. Here, we show that microglial REV-ERBα deficient enhances inflammatory signaling, disrupts lipid metabolism, and causes lipid droplet (LD) accumulation specifically in male microglia. Inflammation and LD accumulation combine to inhibit microglial tau phagocytosis, which can be partially rescued by blockage of lipid droplet formation. Microglial REV-ERBα deletion exacerbates tau aggregation and neuroinflammation in P301S and AAV-P301L tauopathy models in male, but not female mice. These data demonstrate the importance of microglial lipid droplets in tau accumulation and reveal REV-ERBα as a therapeutically accessible, sex-dependent regulator of microglial inflammatory signaling, lipid metabolism, and tauopathy.

APOE4/4 is linked to damaging lipid droplets in Alzheimer's microglia

Project description:Several genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) implicate genes involved in lipid metabolism and many of these lipid genes are highly expressed in glial cells. However, the relationship between lipid metabolism in glia and AD pathology remains poorly understood. Through single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of AD brain tissue, we have identified a microglial state defined by the expression of the lipid droplet (LD) associated enzyme ACSL1 with ACSL1-positive microglia most abundant in AD patients with the APOE4/4 genotype. In human iPSC-derived microglia (iMG) fibrillar Aβ (fAβ) induces ACSL1 expression, triglyceride synthesis, and LD accumulation in an APOE-dependent manner. Additionally, conditioned media from LD-containing microglia leads to Tau phosphorylation and neurotoxicity in an APOE-dependent manner. Our findings suggest a link between genetic risk factors for AD with microglial LD accumulation and neurotoxic microglial-derived factors, potentially providing novel therapeutic strategies for AD.

Amelioration of Tau and ApoE4-linked glial lipid accumulation and neurodegeneration with an LXR agonist

Project description:Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a strong genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with APOE4 increasing and APOE2 decreasing risk relative to APOE3. In the P301S mouse model of tauopathy, ApoE4 increases tau pathology and neurodegeneration when compared to ApoE3 or the absence of ApoE. However, the role of ApoE isoforms in regulating lipid metabolism in the setting of tauopathy is unknown. Here, by using targeted lipidomics coupled with histological analysis, we demonstrate that in P301S tau mice, ApoE4 strongly promotes glial lipid accumulation along with significant perturbations in cholesterol metabolism and lysosomal function. Increasing lipid efflux in glia via administration of the LXR agonist GW3965 reduces lipid droplet accumulation in primary E4 microglia in vitro and GW3965 or Abca1 overexpression strongly attenuates tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and synapse loss in P301S/ApoE4 mice. By immunostaining, bulk and snRNA sequencing, we demonstrate reductions in reactive astrocytes and microglia as well as significant changes in cholesterol biosynthesis and metabolism in glia of tauopathy mice in response to LXR activation. These data suggest that promoting efflux of glial lipids via Abca1 could serve as a therapeutic approach to ameliorate tau and ApoE4-linked neurodegeneration.

Overexpressing low-density lipoprotein receptor reduces tau-associated neurodegeneration via apoE-dependent and independent mechanisms

Project description:APOE is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. ApoE exacerbates tau-associated neurodegeneration by driving microglial activation. However, how apoE regulates microglial activation and whether targeting apoE is therapeutically beneficial in tauopathy is unclear. Here we show that overexpressing a low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) transgene in P301S tau transgenic mice markedly reduces brain apoE and ameliorates tau pathology and neurodegeneration. ApoE specifically interacts with a high-molecular-weight tau species, and highly correlates with phospho-tau and insoluble tau levels. Microglial expression of the LDLR transgene reduces intracellular apoE and is associated with less microglial activation. snRNA-seq analysis of apoE-deficient or LDLR-overexpressing brains reveals that apoE deficiency drives microglial catabolism and increases the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell population. LDLR overexpression shares overlapping mechanisms, but uniquely upregulates microglial expression of specific ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors in tauopathy. A subset of disease-associated astrocytes with both neuroprotective and neurotoxic gene signatures is also identified.

Expression data from mouse ventral midbrain

Project description:The circadian nature of mood and its dysfunction in affective disorders is well recognized, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. We showed that the circadian nuclear receptor REV-ERBa, which is associated with bipolar disorder, impacts midbrain dopamine production and mood-related behavior in mice. Genetic deletion of the Rev-erba gene or pharmacological inhibition of REV-ERBa activity in the ventral midbrain induced mania-like behavior in association with a central hyperdopaminergic state. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in the ventral midbrains of wild-type (WT) and Rev-erba knock-out (RKO) mice. Male RKO and WT mice (10-15 weeks of age) were maintained in a C57BL/6J background. Mice were housed in temperature-controlled (22-23ÂºC) quarters under a 12-h light-dark (LD) photoperiod (lights on at 8:00 a.m.). After entrainment for >10 days under LD conditions, mice were kept in constant darkness (DD) for 2 days starting at lights-off time. On the third day, mice were sacrificed at indicated time points by cervical dislocation.

Microglial NF-κB drives tau spreading and toxicity in a mouse model of tauopathy [snRNA-Seq]

Project description:Activation of microglia is a prominent pathological feature in tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease. How microglia activation contributes to tau toxicity remains largely unknown. Here we show that nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling, activated by tau, drives microglial-mediated tau propagation and toxicity. Constitutive activation of microglial NF-κB exacerbated, while inactivation diminished, tau seeding and spreading in young PS19 mice. Inhibition of NF-B activation enhanced the retention while reduced the release of internalized pathogenic tau fibrils from primary microglia and rescued microglial autophagy deficits. Remarkably, inhibition of microglial NF-κB in aged PS19 mice rescued tau-mediated learning and memory deficits, restored overall transcriptomic changes while increasing neuronal tau inclusions. Single cell RNA-seq revealed that tau-associated disease states in microglia were diminished by NF-B inactivation and further transformed by constitutive NF-B activation. Our study establishes a central role for microglial NF-B signaling in mediating tau spreading and toxicity in tauopathy.

Tau accumulation induces microglial state alterations in Alzheimer’s disease model mice (snRNA-seq, part 2)

Project description:Unique microglial states have been identified in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice and postmortem AD brains. Although it has been well documented that amyloid-β accumulation induces the alteration of microglial states, the relationship between tau pathology and microglial states remains incompletely understood because of a lack of suitable AD models. In the present study, we generated a novel AD model mouse by the intracerebral administration of tau purified from human brains with primary age-related tauopathy into AppNL-G-F/MAPT double knock-in (dKI) mice.
