INPP5D regulates inflammasome activation in human microglia

ABSTRACT: Microglia and neuroinflammation play an important role in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase D (INPP5D) is a myeloid-expressed gene genetically-associated with AD. Through unbiased analyses of RNA and protein profiles in INPP5D-disrupted iPSC-derived human microglia, we find that reduction in INPP5D activity is associated with molecular profiles consistent with disrupted autophagy and inflammasome activation. These findings are validated through targeted pharmacological experiments which demonstrate that reduced INPP5D activity induces the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, cleavage of CASP1, and secretion of IL-1 and IL-18. Further, in-depth analyses of human brain tissue across hundreds of individuals using a multi-analytic approach provides evidence that a reduction in function of INPP5D in microglia results in inflammasome activation in AD. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying microglia-mediated processes in AD and highlight the inflammasome as a potential therapeutic target for modulating INPP5D-mediated vulnerability to AD.

Project description:Microglia and neuroinflammation are implicated in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To better understand microglia-mediated processes in AD, we studied the function of INPP5D/SHIP1, a gene linked to AD through GWAS. Immunostaining and single nucleus RNA sequencing confirmed that INPP5D expression in the adult human brain is enriched in microglia. Examination of prefrontal cortex across a large cohort revealed reduced full-length soluble INPP5D protein levels in AD patient brains compared to cognitively normal controls. However, elevated INPP5D immunostaining in microglia in the AD brain was observed, which was driven by elevations in plaque-associated microglia suggesting that these two methods quantify different pools of INPP5D. Examination of INPP5D overexpression and bi-allelic loss-of-function in induced pluripotent stem cell derived microglia (iMGs) revealed that INPP5D LOF most closely resemble microglia in the AD brain with respect to immune signaling alterations, supporting the hypothesis that INPP5D function is reduced in AD microglia. The functional consequences of reduced INPP5D activity were evaluated in human iMGs, using both pharmacological inhibition of the phosphatase activity of INPP5D and genetic reduction in copy number. Unbiased transcriptional and proteomic profiling of these iMGs suggested an upregulation of innate immune signaling pathways, lower levels of scavenger receptors, reduced lysosomal proteins and altered inflammasome signaling with INPP5D reduction. INPP5D inhibition induced the secretion of IL-1ß and IL-18, further implicating inflammasome activation. Inflammasome activation was confirmed through visualization of inflammasome formation through ASC immunostaining in INPP5D-inhibited iMGs, increased cleaved caspase-1 and through rescue of elevated IL-1ß and IL-18 with caspase-1 and NLRP3 inhibitors. In accord, lower INPP5D is associated with higher IL-18 levels and an elevation in microglia with ASC specks in the AD brain. This work implicates INPP5D as a regulator of inflammasome signaling in human microglia.

Project description:Microglia are innate immune cells of the brain that perform phagocytic and inflammatory functions in disease conditions. Transcriptomic studies of acutely-isolated microglia have provided novel insights into their molecular and functional diversity in homeostatic and neurodegenerative disease states. State-of-the-art mass spectrometric methods can comprehensively characterize proteomic alterations in microglia in neurodegenerative disorders, potentially providing novel functionally-relevant molecular insights that are not provided by transcriptomics. However, proteomic profiling of adult primary microglia in neurodegenerative disease conditions has not been performed. We performed quantitative proteomic analyses of purified CD11b+ acutely-isolated microglia adult mice in normal, acute neuroinflammatory (LPS-treatment) and chronic neurodegenerative states (5xFAD model of Alzheimer’s disease [AD]) using tandem mass tag mass spectrometry. Differential expression analyses were performed to characterize specific microglial proteomic changes in 5xFAD mice and identify overlap with LPS-induced pro-inflammatory changes. Our results were also contrasted with existing proteomic data from wild-type mouse microglia and from existing microglial transcriptomic data from wild-type and 5xFAD mice. Neuropathological validation studies of select proteins were performed in human AD and 5xFAD brains. Of 4,133 proteins identified, 187 microglial proteins were differentially expressed in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD pathology, including proteins with previously known (Apoe, Clu and Htra1) as well as previously unreported relevance to AD biology (Cotl1 and Hexb). Proteins upregulated in 5xFAD microglia shared significant overlap with pro-inflammatory changes observed in LPS-treated mice. Several proteins increased in human AD brain were also upregulated by 5xFAD microglia (Aβ peptide, Apoe, Htra1, Cotl1 and Clu). Cotl1 was identified as a novel microglia-specific marker with increased expression and strong association with AD neuropathology. Apoe protein was also detected within plaque-associated microglia in which Apoe and Aβ were highly co-localized suggesting a role for Apoe in phagocytic clearance of Aβ. We report the first comprehensive comparative proteomic study of adult mouse microglia derived from acute neuroinflammatory and AD models, representing a valuable resource to the neuroscience research community. We highlight shared and unique microglial proteomic changes in acute neuroinflammatory, aging and AD mouse models in addition to identifying novel roles for microglial proteins in human neurodegeneration.

Project description:Cortical rat neuronal culture, lysis and proteolytic digestion Primary rat cortical neurons were generated from E18 Sprague-Dawley rat embryos with minor modifications (Swanger, Mattheyses et al. 2015, Henderson, Greathouse et al. 2019). Neurons were cultured at a density of 4x105 cells per well in 12-well culture plates (Fisher Scientific, catalog no. 353043). Neurons were cultured in Neurobasal medium (Fisher Scientific, catalog no. 21103-049) supplemented with B27 (Fisher Scientific, catalog no.17504-044). Culture maintenance included a half media change every 2-3 days. At DIV 14, neurons were either treated with 150 ng/mL recombinant NRN1 protein (Abcam, ab69755) or vehicle treated with diH2O for 6 hours. NRN1 concentration was chosen based on published data that identified a plateau in exogenous NRN1 induced effects on transient potassium currents at 150 ng/mL (Yao et al., 2012). After 6 hours neurons were washed 2x with 1 mL 1X phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). To harvest cells, 1 mL 1X PBS + protease inhibitor (Fisher Scientific, catalog no. 78426) was added and cells were centrifuged for 2300rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C. Cell pellets were lysed in 200uL 8M urea buffer and HALT protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (1x final concentration). Lysates were sonicated with a probe sonicator 3 times for 10 s with 10 s intervals at 30% amplitude and cleared of cellular debris by centrifugation in a tabletop centrifuge at 18,000 rcf for 3 minutes at 4° C. Protein concentration was determined by BCA assay and one-dimensional SDS-PAGE gels were run followed by Coomassie blue staining as quality control for protein integrity and equal loading before proceeding to protein digestion. Protein homogenates (50 µg) were diluted with 50 mM NH4HCO3 to a final concentration of less than 2 M urea and then treated with 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) at 25°C for 30 minutes, followed by 5 mM iodoacetimide (IAA) at 25°C for 30 minutes in the dark. Protein was digested with 1:100 (w/w) lysyl endopeptidase (Wako) at 25°C for 2 hours and further digested overnight with 1:50 (w/w) trypsin (Pierce) at 25°C. Resulting peptides were desalted with a Sep-Pak C18 column (Waters) and dried under vacuum.
