Project description:Microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are key players in coping with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In amyloidosis mouse models, activation of microglia was found to be TREM2-dependent. Here, using Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, we assessed whether MDM act via a TREM2-dependent pathway. We adopted a treatment protocol targeting the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint, previously shown to modify AD via MDM involvement. Blocking PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice resulted in cognitive improvement and reduced levels of water-soluble amyloid beta (Aβ)1-42 with no effect on amyloid plaque burden. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that MDM, derived from both Trem2-/- and Trem2+/+5xFAD mouse brains, express a unique set of genes encoding scavenger receptors (e.g. Mrc1, Msr1). Blocking monocytes trafficking using anti-CCR2 antibody completely abrogated the cognitive improvement induced by anti-PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, and similarly but to lower extent in Trem2+/+5xFAD mice. These results highlight a TREM2-independent disease-modifying activity of MDM in amyloidosis mouse model.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of cancer treatment that work by targeting molecules on immune cells that can inhibit the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells. One such checkpoint molecule is PD-1, which is found on the surface of T cells (a type of immune cell) and helps to prevent them from attacking healthy cells. When PD-1 binds to its ligand (a molecule on the surface of some cells), it sends a signal to the T cell to \\"turn off\\" and not attack the cell. This mechanism is important in preventing the immune system from attacking healthy cells, but it can also be exploited by cancer cells to avoid detection and destruction by the immune system. In this study YUMM2.1 mouse tumour cells were implanted subcutaneously. The effect of IFN-γ-pre-treatment, PARP14 inhibition and PD-1 antibody treatment are reported by RNA-seq.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:Cancer treatment has been revolutionized by immune checkpoint inhibitors, which regulate immune cell function by blocking the interactions between immune checkpoint molecules and their ligands. The interaction between programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a target for immune checkpoint inhibitors. Nanobodies, which are recombinant variable domains of heavy-chain-only antibodies, can replace existing immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 conventional antibodies. However, the screening process for high-affinity nanobodies is laborious and time-consuming. Here, we identified high-affinity anti-PD-1 nanobodies using peptide barcoding, which enabled reliable and efficient screening by distinguishing each nanobody with a peptide barcode that was genetically appended to each nanobody. We prepared a peptide-barcoded nanobody (PBNb) library with thousands of variants. Three high-affinity PBNbs were identified from the PBNb library by quantifying the peptide barcodes derived from high-affinity PBNbs. Furthermore, these three PBNbs neutralized the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1. Our results demonstrate the utility of peptide barcoding and the resulting nanobodies can be used as experimental tools and antitumor agents. Peptide barcoding can be used to screen for molecules other than nanobodies. Our methods, such as the design of peptide barcodes, the design of peptide-barcoded molecules, preparation of peptide-barcoded molecule library, and quantification of peptide barcodes, are helpful in screening for peptide-barcoded molecules.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons make up a large fraction of the typical mammalian genome. They comprise about 8% of the human genome and approximately 10% of the mouse genome. On account of their abundance, LTR retrotransposons are believed to hold major significance for genome structure and function. Recent advances in genome sequencing of a variety of model organisms has provided an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate better the diversity of LTR retrotransposons resident in eukaryotic genomes. RESULTS: Using a new data-mining program, LTR_STRUC, in conjunction with conventional techniques, we have mined the GenBank mouse (Mus musculus) database and the more complete Ensembl mouse dataset for LTR retrotransposons. We report here that the M. musculus genome contains at least 21 separate families of LTR retrotransposons; 13 of these families are described here for the first time. CONCLUSIONS: All families of mouse LTR retrotransposons are members of the gypsy-like superfamily of retroviral-like elements. Several different families of unrelated non-autonomous elements were identified, suggesting that the evolution of non-autonomy may be a common event. High sequence similarity between several LTR retrotransposons identified in this study and those found in distantly-related species suggests that horizontal transfer has been a significant factor in the evolution of mouse LTR retrotransposons.
