Elevated microglial oxidative phosphorylation and phagocytosis stimulate post-stroke brain remodeling and cognitive function recovery in mice.

ABSTRACT: New research shows that disease-associated microglia in neurodegenerative brains present features of elevated phagocytosis, lysosomal functions, and lipid metabolism, which benefit brain repair. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Intracellular pH (pH_i) is important for regulating aerobic glycolysis in microglia, where Na/H exchanger (NHE1) is a key pH regulator by extruding H⁺ in exchange of Na⁺ influx. We report here that post-stroke Cx3cr1-Cre^ER+/-;Nhe1^flox/flox (Nhe1 cKO) brains displayed stimulation of microglial transcriptomes of rate-limiting enzyme genes for glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The other upregulated genes included genes for phagocytosis and LXR/RXR pathway activation as well as the disease-associated microglia hallmark genes (Apoe, Trem2, Spp1). The cKO microglia exhibited increased oxidative phosphorylation capacity, and higher phagocytic activity, which likely played a role in enhanced synaptic stripping and remodeling, oligodendrogenesis, and remyelination. This study reveals that genetic blockade of microglial NHE1 stimulated oxidative phosphorylation immunometabolism, and boosted phagocytosis function which is associated with tissue remodeling and post-stroke cognitive function recovery.

Project description:Stroke is a major public health problem leading to high rates of death and disability worldwide, but no effective pharmacological therapy is currently available except for the use of PLAT (plasminogen activator, tissue). Here we show that PARP14 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase family, member 14) level was significantly increased in the peri-infarct zone of photothrombotic stroke (PT) mice. Genetic knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of PARP14 aggravated functional impairment and increased infarct volume in PT mice, while overexpression of PARP14 displayed the opposite effects. Furthermore, PARP14 was abundant in microglia, and downregulation of PARP14 increased post-stroke microglial activation, whereas overexpression of PARP14 alleviated microglial activation, possibly through microglial macroautophagy/autophagy modulation. Mechanistically, overexpression of PARP14 suppressed Lpar5 (lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5) gene transcription to inhibit microglial activation post stroke. Taken together, PARP14 is a stroke-induced signal that restricts microglial activation and promotes functional recovery, and can serve as a novel target to develop new therapeutic agents for stroke. Moreover, these findings may be conducive to proper use of various PARP inhibitors.Abbreviations: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; AIF1/Iba-1: allograft inflammatory factor 1; CNS: central nervous system; CQ: chloroquine; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; DMEM: Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; FBS: fetal bovine serum; GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein; IL1B/IL-1β: interleukin 1 beta; IL6/IL-6: interleukin 6; LPAR5: lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5; MAP1LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; NOS2/iNOS: nitric oxide synthase 2, inducible; OGD: oxygen glucose deprivation; PAR: polymer of poly (ADP ribose); PARP: poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase family; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PLAT/tPA: plasminogen activator, tissue; PT: photothrombotic stroke; qPCR: quantitative polymerase chain reaction; Rap: rapamycin; RBFOX3/NeuN: RNA binding protein, fox-1 homolog (C. elegans) 3; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TNF/TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor.
