Project description:To identify the differentially expressed genes in the brain of WT mice in comparison with 9-month-old APP/PS1 mice, we examined the microarray gene expression profile of the groups above. Neuroinflammation is well implicated in the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) now. What’ more, neuroinflammation is supposed to be one of the essential trigger to induce neurodegeneration. In this study, we examined the differentially expressed genes (including coding transcripts and lncRNA) between the wild type (WT) mouse and a AD model, the APP/PS1 mouse. We found that, among all these P2XR family genes, P2X7R is not only the most abundant expressed, but also identified as the highest upregulated gene. The elevated P2X7R expression promotes neuroinflammation through activation of NLRP3 inflammsome, and further mediate one kind of inflammatory cell death, pyroptosis. Blockade of P2X7R could not only inhibit pyroptosis, but also could mildly alleviate cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 mice. Our study provides new insight into an alternative strategy for the development of AD therapy.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia, characterized by deposition of extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates and intraneuronal hyperphosphorylated Tau. Many AD risk genes, identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), are expressed in microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system. Specific subtypes of microglia emerged in relation to AD pathology, such as disease-associated microglia (DAMs), which increased in number with age in amyloid mouse models and in human AD cases. However, the initial transcriptional changes in these microglia in response to amyloid are still unknown. Here, to determine early changes in microglia gene expression, hippocampal microglia from APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice and wildtype littermates were isolated and analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). By bulk RNA-seq, transcriptomic changes were detected in hippocampal microglia from 6-months-old APP/PS1 mice. By performing single cell RNA-seq of CD11c-positive and negative microglia from 6-months-old APP/PS1 mice and analysis of the transcriptional trajectory from homeostatic to CD11c-positive microglia, we identified a set of genes that potentally reflect the initial response of microglia to Aβ.

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:Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is highly polarized to perivascular astrocytic endfeet. Loss of AQP4 polarization is associated with many diseases. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is found that AQP4 loos its normal location and thus reduce the clearance of amyloid-β plaques and Tau protein. Clinical and experimental studies show that moxibustion can improve the learning and memory abilities of AD. In order to explore whether moxibustion can affect the polarization of AQP4 around blood brain barrier (BBB), we used spatial transcriptomics (ST) to analyze the expression and polarization of Aqp4 in wild type mice, APP/PS1 mice and APP/PS1 mice intervened by moxibustion. The results showed that moxibustion improved the loss of abnormal polarization of AQP4 in APP/PS1 mice, especially in the hypothalamic BBB. Besides, there are other 31 genes with Aqp4 as the core have the similar depolarization in APP/PS1 mice, most of which are also membrane proteins. The majority of them have been reversed by moxibustion. At the same time, we employed the cerebrospinal fluid circulation gene set, which was found being on a higher level in the group of APP/PS1 mice with moxibustion treatment. Finally, in order to further explore its mechanism, we analyzed the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzymes closely related to energy metabolism, and found that moxibustion can significantly increase the expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes such as Cox6a2 in the hypothalamus, which could provide energy for mRNA transport. Our research shows that increasing the polarization of hypothalamic Aqp4 through mitochondrial energy supply may be an important target for moxibustion to improve APP/PS1 mice’s cognitive impairment.

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:Neuroinflammation is a major contributor to disease progression in Alzheimer´s disease (AD) and is characterized by the activity of brain resident glial cells, in particular microglia cells. However, there is increasing evidence that peripheral immune cells infiltrate the brain at certain stages of AD progression and shape disease pathology. We recently identified CD8+ T-cells in the brain parenchyma of APP-PS1 transgenic mice being tightly associated with microglia as well as with neuronal structures. The functional role of CD8+ T-cells in the AD brain is however completely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate increased numbers of intra-parenchymal CD8+ T-cells in human AD post-mortem hippocampus, which was replicated in APP-PS1 mice. Also, aged WT mice show a remarkable infiltration of CD8+ T-cells, which was more pronounced and had an earlier onset in APP-PS1 mice. To address their functional relevance in AD, we successfully ablated the pool of CD8+ T-cells in the blood, spleen and brain from 12 months-old APP-PS1 and WT mice for a total of 4 weeks using an anti-CD8 antibody treatment. While the treatment at this time of disease stage did neither affect the cognitive outcome nor plaque pathology, RNAseq analysis of the hippocampal transcriptome from APP-PS1 mice lacking CD8+ T-cells revealed highly altered neuronal- and synapse-related gene expression including an up-regulation for neuronal immediate early genes (IEGs) such as the Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (Arc) and the Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 4 (Npas4). Gene ontology enrichment analysis illustrated that the biological processes “regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity” and the cellular components “postsynapses” were over-represented upon CD8+ T-cell ablation. Additionally, Kegg pathway analysis showed up-regulated pathways for “calcium signaling”, “long-term potentiation”, “glutamatergic synapse” and “axon guidance”. Therefore, we conclude that CD8+ T-cells infiltrate the aged and AD brain and that brain CD8+ T-cells might directly contribute to neuronal dysfunction in modulating synaptic plasticity. Further analysis will be essential to uncover the exact mechanism of how CD8+ T-cells modulate the neuronal landscape and thereby contribute to AD pathology.

Project description:Bulk RNA-sequencing of astrocytes in the APP NL-F and APP PS1 models of ß-amyloidopathy, in which aspects of AD-related pathology progress at different speed, shows age-dependent gene expression changes. However, bulk RNA-seq does not provide insight into the heterogeneity of expression within this cell type, particularly relevant for such models, where reactive astrogliosis is most prominent in the vicinity of plaques. To investigate astrocyte heterogeneity in ß-amyloidopathy models, we thus performed single cell RNA-sequencing on astrocytes separated by FACS.
