Project description:We knocked out PU.1 in murine BV-2 cells using the CRISPR-Cas9 system to investigate the role of PU.1 in the expression of immune-related genes. RNA sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed that the expression of most of the immune-related genes was suppressed in the absence of PU.1

Project description:Microglia are versatile regulators in brain development and disorders. Emerging evidence links miRNA-mediated regulation to microglial function; however, the exact underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we discover that miR-137, a neuropsychiatric disorders-associated miRNA, is abundant in the microglial nucleus and exhibits unexpected epigenetic functions in maintaining the global transcriptomic state, core properties, and functions of microglia. Mechanistically, microglial Mir137 deletion increases the accessibility of chromatin, which harbors binding motifs of microglial master transcription factor Pu.1. Our biochemical and bioinformatics analyses suggest that miR-137 can interact with Pu.1, thus influencing Pu.1-mediated gene expression. Importantly, we find that increased Pu.1 binding upregulates the target gene Jdp2, and Jdp2 knockdown markedly suppresses the impaired cellular phenotypes in Mir137 knockout microglia. Collectively, our study provides evidence supporting a notion that miR-137 acts as an epigenetic regulator, and this microglia-specific function is essential to maintain normal adult brain function.

Project description:More than forty loci contribute to genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These risk alleles are enriched in myeloid cell enhancers suggesting that microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, contribute to AD risk. We have previously identified SPI1/PU.1, a master regulator of myeloid cell development in the brain and periphery, as a genetic risk factor for AD. Higher expression of SPI1 is associated with increased risk for AD, while lower expression is protective. To investigate the molecular and cellular phenotypes associated with higher and lower expression of PU.1 in microglia, we used stable overexpression and knock-down of PU.1 in BV2, an immortalized mouse microglial cell line. Transcriptome analysis suggests that reduced PU.1 expression suppresses expression of homeostatic genes similar to the disease-associated microglia response to amyloid plaques in mouse models of AD. Moreover, PU.1 knock-down resulted in activation of protein translation, antioxidant action and cholesterol/lipid metabolism pathways with a concomitant decrease of pro-inflammatory gene expression. PU.1 overexpression upregulated and knock-down downregulated phagocytic uptake in BV2 cells independent of the nature of the engulfed material. However, cells with reduced PU.1 expression retained their ability to internalize myelin similar to control albeit with a delay, which aligns with their anti-inflammatory profile. Here we identified several microglial responses that are modulated by PU.1 expression levels and propose that risk association of PU.1 to AD is driven by increased pro-inflammatory response due to increased viability of cells under cytotoxic conditions. In contrast, low expression of PU.1 leads to increased cell death under cytotoxic conditions accompanied by reduced pro-inflammatory signaling that decreased A1 reactive astrocytes signature supporting the protective effect of SPI1 genotype in AD. These findings inform future in vivo validation studies and design of small molecule screens for therapeutic discovery in AD.

Project description:Microglial cell activation has been linked to many neurodegenerative diseases. Upon stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a number of proteins involved in inflammatory and oxidative pathways are activated. Production of nitric oxide has been regarded as a signature marker of inflammatory responses. Our recent studies demonstrated the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to inhibit the LPS-induced inflammatory responses in BV-2 microglial cells. DHA also can upregulate the anti-oxidative pathway involving nuclear factor erythroid 2-Like 2 (Nrf2) and synthesis of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a potent anti-oxidative enzyme. In order to further understand the proteins involved, this study used a label-free quantitative proteomics approach to examine effects of DHA and LPS on proteins and signaling pathways in microglial cells.

Project description:Impairment of microglial clearance activity contributes to beta-amyloid (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD). While the transcriptome profile of microglia directs microglial functions, how the microglial transcriptome can be regulated to alleviate AD pathology is largely unknown. Here, we show that injection of interleukin (IL)-33 in an AD transgenic mouse model ameliorates Aβ pathology by reprogramming microglial epigenetic and transcriptomic profiles to induce a microglial subpopulation with enhanced phagocytic activity. These IL-33–responsive microglia (IL-33RM) express distinct transcriptome signature, highlighted by major histocompatibility complex class II genes, and restored homeostatic signature genes. IL-33–induced remodeling of chromatin accessibility and PU.1 transcription factor binding at the signature genes of IL-33RM control their transcriptome reprogramming. Specifically, disrupting PU.1–DNA interaction abolishes the microglial state transition and Aβ clearance induced by IL-33. Thus, we define a PU.1-dependent transcriptional pathway that drives the IL-33–induced functional state transition of microglia, resulting in enhanced Aβ clearance.
