RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type(MRL-mpj) and MRL-lpr (PBS or MSC treated) Hippocampoal Transcriptomes


ABSTRACT: Up to 75% of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients experience neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms, called neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Complement cascades mediate synaptic pruning by microglia during early postnatal brain development. The process in NPSLE remains unclear. Here, we show that complement-coordinated elimination of synaptic terminals participated in NPSLE in MRL/lpr mice, a lupus-prone murine model. We elucidated that lupus mice developed increased anxiety-like behaviors and persistent phagocytic microglia reactivation before overt peripheral lupus pathology. Microglial engulfment of synapses explained behavioral disorders. We further determined that neuronal Nr4a1 signaling was essential for attracting C1q synaptic deposition then apposition of phagocytic microglia, ensuing synaptic loss and neurological disease. Minocycline-deactivated microglia, antibody-blocked C1q, or neuronal Nr4a1 restore protected lupus mice from synapse loss and NP manifestations. Our findings revealed an active role of neurons in coordinating microglia-mediated synaptic loss and highlight neuronal Nr4a1 and C1q as critical components amenable to pharmacological intervention.
