Project description:Premature birth is frequently associated with abnormal brain development, leading to brain damage, the most common being diffuse white matter injury. Perinatal neuroinflammation, which relies primarily on microglial activation, contributes to the myelination failure by affecting oligodendrocytes. To better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in encephalopathy of prematurity, we took advantage of a mouse model in which systemic injections of proinflammatory interleukin-1β (IL1B) disrupt oligodendrocyte differentiation, leading to hypomyelination and cognitive deficits. Newborn mice received intraperitoneal injections of IL1B from postnatal day (P) 1 to P5. At P5 and P10, brains were collected from six control (PBS) and six exposed (IL1B) mice; oligodendrocytes and microglial cells were sequentially isolated using antibodies coupled to magnetic beads targeting O4 and CD11b, respectively. Gene expression analysis performed on Agilent microarray revealed that perinatal inflammation induced major changes in gene expression in both cell types. By improving our understanding of the cellular mechanisms involved in encephalopathy of prematurity, this study could ultimately help design neuroprotective strategies.

Project description:Expression profiling of distinct central nervous system (CNS) cell populations has been employed to facilitate disease classification and to provide insights into the molecular basis of brain pathology. One important cell type implicated in a wide variety of CNS disease states is the resident brain macrophage (microglia). In these studies, microglia are often isolated from dissociated brain tissue by flow sorting procedures [fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)] or from postnatal glial cultures by mechanic isolation. Given the highly dynamic and state-dependent functions of these cells, the use of FACS or short-term culture methods may not accurately capture the biology of brain microglia. In the current study, we performed RNA-sequencing using Cx3cr1+/GFP labeled microglia isolated from the brainstem of 6-week-old mice to compare the transcriptomes of FACS-sorted versus laser capture microdissection (LCM). While both isolation techniques resulted in a large number of shared (common) transcripts, we identified transcripts unique to FACS-isolated and LCM-captured microglia. In particular, M-bM-^HM-<50% of these LCM-isolated microglial transcripts represented genes typically associated with neurons and glia. While these transcripts clearly localized to microglia using complementary methods, they were not translated into protein. Following the induction of murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, increased oligodendrocyte and neuronal transcripts were detected in microglia, while only the myelin basic protein oligodendrocyte transcript was increased in microglia after traumatic brain injury. Collectively, these findings have implications for the design and interpretation of microglia transcriptome-based investigations. Wildtype and GFP expressing microglia from mouse brainstems were flow sorted or captured by laser microdissection. Differences between the two isolation methods were verified and further examined in neurodegenerative disease models.

Project description:Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a common complication during systemic inflammation. Microglia are key player in this process. For a better understanding we compared hippocampal tissue following sepsis induction of microglia depleted and non-depleted mice. We show an overall reduction of inflammatory response in the hippocampus of microglia depleted animals.

Project description:Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a common complication during systemic inflammation. Microglia are key player in this process. For a better understanding we compared isolated microglia from mice at day 3 and day 20 following induction of polymicrobial sepsis. We found a long-lasting inflammatory response of microglia following sepsis.

Project description:Characterization of the tumor border microenvironment is critical for improving prognosis in patients with GBM. Here, we compared microRNA (miRNA) expression in samples from the tumor, tumor border, and peripheral region far from tumor mass by miRNA microarray. The top three of miRNAs showing higher expression in the tumor border were related to oligodendrocyte differentiation, and pathologically oligodendrocyte lineage cells were increased in the border, where numbers of macrophages and microglia also colocalized. Medium cultured with oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and macrophages induced stemness and chemo-radioresistance in GBM cells. Thus, OPCs and macrophages/microglia may form a glioma stem cell niche at the tumor border, representing a novel promising target for prevention of recurrence.

Project description:Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common complication of liver cirrhosis, associated with high morbidity and mortality, for which no brain-targeted therapies exist at present. The interplay between hyperammonemia and inflammation is thought to drive HE development. As such, astrocytes, the most important ammonia-metabolizing cells in the brain, and microglia, the main immunomodulatory cells in the brain, have been heavily implicated in HE development. As insight into cellular perturbations driving brain pathology remains largely elusive, we aimed to investigate cell-type specific transcriptomic changes in the HE brain. In the recently established mouse bile duct ligation (BDL) model of HE, we performed RNA-Seq of sorted astrocytes and microglia at 14 and 28 days after induction. This revealed a marked transcriptional response in both cell types which was most pronounced in microglia. In both cell types, pathways related to inflammation and hypoxia, mechanisms commonly implicated in HE, were enriched. Additionally, astrocytes exhibited increased corticoid receptor and oxidative stress signaling, whereas microglial transcriptome changes were linked to immune cell attraction. Accordingly, both monocytes and neutrophils accumulated in the BDL mouse brain. Time-dependent changes were limited in both cell types, suggesting early establishment of a pathological phenotype. While HE is often considered a unique form of encephalopathy, astrocytic and microglial transcriptomes showed significant overlap with previously established gene expression signatures in other neuroinflammatory diseases like septic encephalopathy and stroke, suggesting common pathophysiological mechanisms. Our dataset identifies key molecular mechanisms involved in preclinical HE and provides a valuable resource for development of novel glial-directed therapeutic strategies.
