Project description:Microglia, the resident innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are increasingly recognized as critical for normal CNS function as well as for the pathophysiology of CNS disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Advances in transcriptomic analyses, such as weighted gene co-expression network analysis, reveal that the most perturbed gene networks identified in AD brains fall squarely within microglial pathways and these findings are consistent with genetic and epigenetic genome-wide association studies linking specific microglial genes to AD risk. Increased expression of full-length CD33 increases AD risk and CD33 is a component of the microglial gene network, yet relatively little is known about the significance of CD33 in this gene network or in microglial biology. To gain further insight into these questions, we first identified and characterized locked nucleic acid (LNA) antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) as tools to knock down CD33 in APP/PS1 mice in vivo. We report here that CD33 LNA ASO results in robust knockdown of CD33 mRNA the frontal cortex and hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice and that this knockdown causes changes to the AD-associated microglial gene network. This work suggests that CD33 may be a viable therapeutic target in AD.

Project description:Background Microglial cell iron load and inflammatory activation are significant hallmarks of late-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In vitro, microglia preferentially upregulate iron importer, divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1, gene name Slc11a2) in response to inflammatory stimuli, and excess iron can augment cellular inflammation, suggesting a feed-forward loop between iron import mechanisms and inflammatory signaling. However, it is not understood whether microglial iron import mechanisms directly contribute to inflammatory signaling and chronic disease in vivo. These studies determined the effects of knocking down microglial iron import gene, Slc11a2, on AD-related cognitive decline and microglial transcriptional phenotype. Methods In vitro experiments and RT-qPCR were used to assess a role for DMT1 in amyloid-β-associated inflammation. To determine the effects of microglial Slc11a2 knockdown on AD-related phenotypes in vivo, triple-transgenic Cx3cr1Cre-ERT2;Slc11a2flfl;APP/PS1+ or – mice were generated and administered corn oil or tamoxifen to induce knockdown at 5-6 months of age. Both sexes underwent behavioral analyses to assess cognition and memory (12-15 months of age). Hippocampal CD11b+ microglia were magnetically isolated from female mice (15-17 months) and bulk RNA-sequencing analysis was conducted. Results DMT1 inhibition in vitro robustly decreased Aβ-induced inflammatory gene expression and cellular iron levels in conditions of excess iron. In vivo, Slc11a2KD APP/PS1 female, but not male, mice displayed a significant worsening of memory function in Morris water maze and a fear conditioning assay, along with significant hyperactivity compared to control WT and APP/PS1 mice. Hippocampal microglia from Slc11a2KD APP/PS1 females displayed significant increases in genes Enpp2, Ttr, and iron-export gene, Slc40a1, compared to control APP/PS1 cells. Slc11a2KD cells from APP/PS1 females also exhibited decreased expression of markers related to disease-associated microglia (DAMs), such as Apoe, Ctsb, Csf1, and Hif1α. Conclusions This work suggests a sex-specific role for microglial iron import gene Slc11a2 in propagating behavioral and cognitive phenotypes in the APP/PS1 model of AD. These data also highlight an association between loss of a DAM-like phenotype in female microglia and cognitive deficits in Slc11a2KD APP/PS1 mice. Overall, this work illuminates an iron-related pathway in microglia that may serve a protective role during disease and offers insight into mechanisms behind disease-related sex differences.

Project description:RNA samples from the cerebral cortex of APP/PS1 and WT mouse littermates aged 3, 6 and 12 months were analyzed using the Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Gene 1.1 ST Array. The APP-PS1 transgenic mouse express the human mutated forms APPswe and PS1dE9. This is a good model of familial Alzheimer Disease because it reproduces several features of the disease as β-amyloid deposits throughout the brain and exhibit memory impairment by the end of the sixth month and is a simple model to study the molecular pathways. The aim of this study is to identify dysregulation of inflammation pathways in order to understand shifts of inflammation responses with disease progression.

Project description:The goal of the experiment was to understand the role of IL-18 in Alzheimers disease. Gene expression was examined in the hippocampus of wild type mice and the APP/PS1 mice (which are a mouse model for Alzheimers disease) that either encoded IL-18 or had the IL-18 gene knocked out.

Project description:Aβ is a peptide of 39-42 amino acid residues that derived from putative intramembranous processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the proposed active site of the γ-secretase/PS1 aspartyl. Aβ has been shown to aggregate and accumulate abnormally in the brain of AD (Alzheimer's disease), and extracellular amyloid plaques of Aβ peptides aggregation can trigger a cascade of pathologic events leading to nerve fiber entanglement and neuronal apoptosis protease. We used microarrays to investigate the effects of HPYD on the gene expression of APP/PS1 transgenic mice, the brain tissues of control group, model group and HPYD group mice.

Project description:To examine the regulation of microglia by N-AS-triggered SPMs, we analyzed the gene expression patterns of microglia derived from WT, APP/PS1, and N-AS-injected APP/PS1 mice using RNAseq. These results indicated that N-AS-triggered SPMs activated an anti-inflammatory, positive immune response, and enhanced the phagocytic abilities of microglia in N-AS-treated APP/PS1 mice, leading to resolution of neuroinflammation and upregulation of phagocytic microglia in this AD animal model.
