Blood-borne macrophages contribute to Alzheimer's disease modification through a TREM2-independent pathway

ABSTRACT: Microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are key players in coping with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In amyloidosis mouse models, activation of microglia was found to be TREM2-dependent. Here, using Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, we assessed whether MDM act via a TREM2-dependent pathway. We adopted a treatment protocol targeting the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint, previously shown to modify AD via MDM involvement. Blocking PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice resulted in cognitive improvement and reduced levels of water-soluble amyloid beta (Aβ)1-42 with no effect on amyloid plaque burden. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that MDM, derived from both Trem2-/- and Trem2+/+5xFAD mouse brains, express a unique set of genes encoding scavenger receptors (e.g. Mrc1, Msr1). Blocking monocytes trafficking using anti-CCR2 antibody completely abrogated the cognitive improvement induced by anti-PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, and similarly but to lower extent in Trem2+/+5xFAD mice. These results highlight a TREM2-independent disease-modifying activity of MDM in amyloidosis mouse model.

TREM2 Acts Downstream of CD33 in Modulating Microglial Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease

Project description:CD33-/- and/or TREM2-/- mice were crossed with the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease to generate single and double CD33/TREM2 knock-out mice on 5xFAD background. Transcriptome and gene expression analyses were performed to analyze the impact of CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out on the transcriptome of microglia in the context of amyloid pathology. The results revealed that CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out reprogrammed microglial gene expression signatures in 5xFAD mice in an age-dependent manner. Differential gene expression in 5xFAD;CD33-/- microglia depended on the presence of TREM2. These data suggest that TREM2 acts downstream of CD33.

PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade harnesses monocyte-derived macrophages to combat cognitive impairment in a tauopathy mouse model

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disorder with multiple etiologies. Harnessing the immune system by blocking the programmed cell death receptor (PD)-1 pathway in an amyloid beta mouse model was shown to evoke a sequence of immune responses that lead to disease modification. Here, blocking PD-L1, a PD-1 ligand, was found to have similar efficacy to that of PD-1 blocking in disease modification, in both animal models of AD and of tauopathy. Targeting PD-L1 in a tau-driven disease model resulted in increased immunomodulatory monocyte-derived macrophages within the brain parenchyma. Single cell RNA-seq revealed that the homing macrophages expressed unique scavenger molecules including macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1), which was shown here to be required for the effect of PD-L1 blockade in disease modification. Overall, our results demonstrate that immune checkpoint blockade targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway leads to modification of common factors that go awry in AD and dementia, and thus can potentially provide an immunotherapy to help combat these diseases.

TREM2 Gene Dosage Increase Reprograms Microglia Responsivity and Ameliorates Pathological Phenotypes in Alzheimer’s Disease Models

Project description:TREM2 BAC transgenic mice with elevated expression of human TREM2 in microglia under its endogenous regulation without overexpression of other TREM-like genes on the BAC were generated and crossed with 5xFAD mice, an mouse model of AD. Transcriptome and gene coexpression analyses were performed to obtain chronical view of TREM gene dosage dependent changes in the context of amyloid pathology. The results confer strong evidence that increased TREM2 alters brain transcriptome network response only in the context of a disease state and with an overall rescuing effect in 5xFAD mice.

Next-generation sequencing of wild type and 5XFAD transcriptomes for Alzheimer's disease study

Project description:We found some novel miRNA that targets SIRT1 may contribute to the pathogenesis in AD mouse model. We first identified that SIRT1 is significantly reduced in Alzheimer patient`s precentral gyrus and 5XFAD mice. To determine whether the strategy of inhibiting some miRNA affects AD pathology, we synthesized antisense oligonucleotides of miRNA (miRNA ASO) and studied this sequence in the brain of 5XFAD through direct intracerebral ventricular injection using stereotaxic instrument. We identified miRNA ASO significantly reduced amyloid beta plaque and amyloid production enzyme. Importantly, the attenuation of amyloid beta plaques through miRNA ASO was caused by a phagocytic activity of glial cells, by which it can directly target CD36. miRNA ASO also decreases inflammatory responses. These results inhibit neuronal loss caused by amyloid beta and leading to improvement of cognitive impairment. These insights of miRNA ASO suggests as therapeutic scope against AD pathology.

Cortical single-cell RNA sequencing of the microglia specific TREM2 inducible mouse models in the middle stage of amyloid deposition

Project description:We induced TREM2 expression at 2 months of age in our 5xFAD/TREM2 mouse models and harvested the animals at 5 months of age. The single cells from the cortex were isolated and subjected to the single-cell RNA seq to investigate the effects of TREM2 on microglia transcriptomic profiles in the middle stage of amyloid development. Our data showed that TREM2-WT induced the mTOR/EIF2 signaling pathways and restricted the disease associated microglia (DAM) signature. In contrast TREM2-R47H variant significantly upregulated the MHC class II molecules, enriched the antigen presentation pathway, and exacerbated a signature of antigen presentation contributing to enhanced amyloid pathology.

Cortical single-cell RNA sequencing of the microglia specific TREM2 inducible mouse models in the early stage of amyloid deposition

Project description:We induced TREM2 expression at birth in our 5xFAD/TREM2 mouse models and harvested the animals at 3.5 months of age. The single cells from the cortex were isolated and subjected to the single-cell RNA seq to investigate the effects of TREM2 on microglia transcriptomic profiles in the early stage of amyloid development. Our data showed that TREM2-WT, to a lesser extent of TREM2-R47H, restricted the disease associated microglia (DAM) signature at this stage.

Prior activation state shapes the microglia response to anti-human TREM2 in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) sustains microglia response to brain injury stimuli including apoptotic cells, myelin damage, and amyloid β (Aβ). Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk is associated with the TREM2R47H variant, which impairs ligand binding and consequently microglia responses to Aβ pathology. Here we tested whether TREM2 engagement by an agonistic mAb, hT2AB, designated as a surrogate ligand facilitates microglia responses in 5XFAD transgenic mice that accumulate Aβ and express either the common TREM2 variant (TREM2CV) or TREM2R47H. scRNA-seq of microglia from TREM2CV-5XFAD mice treated once with control IgG exposed trajectories representative of activated microglial populations including disease-associated microglia (DAM), interferon-responsive (IFN-R), cycling (Cyc-M), and MHC-II expressing (MHC-II) microglia. All of these were underrepresented in TREM2R47H-5XFAD mice, suggesting that TREM2 ligand engagement is required for microglia transitions. Moreover, Cyc-M and IFN-R microglia were better represented in female than male TREM2CV-5XFAD mice, likely reflecting a greater Aβ load in female 5XFAD mice. A single systemic injection of hT2AB replenished the Cyc-M, IFN-R, and MHC-II pools in TREM2R47H-5XFAD mice. In TREM2CV-5XFAD mice, however, hT2AB brought the representation of male Cyc-M and IFN-R microglia closer to that of females, in which microglia transitions in response to Aβ had already reached their peak. Repeated treatment with a murinized version mT2AB over a 10 days period increased brain content of chemokines in TREM2R47H-5XFAD mice, consistent with microglia expansion and shifts in gene expression patterns. Thus, the impact of hT2AB on microglia responses is shaped by the extent of TREM2 endogenous ligand engagement and basal microglia activation.

Osteopontin-producing microglia contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and severity

Project description:We define a pathogenic subset of microglia that is distinguished by expression of the CD11c protein and by production of osteopontin (OPN). OPN production by this CD11c+ microglial subset correlates positively with disease pathology and severity in the 5XFAD mouse model and in AD patients. Genetic ablation of OPN in 5XFAD mice leads to reduced development of pro-inflammatory CD11c+ microglia, increased amyloid beta (Aβ) phagocytosis and improved cognitive function.

Expression data in PD-L1 positive and PD-L1 negative human melanoma samples

Project description:Blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 immunosuppressive pathway has shown promise in the treatment of certain cancers including melanoma. This study investigates differences in the gene expression profiles of human melanomas that do or do not display the immunosuppressive protein PD-L1. Further understanding of genes expressed within the tumor microenvironment of PD-L1+ tumors may lead to improved rationally designed treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted by laser capture microdissection from 11 archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) melanoma specimens, 5 of which were PD-L1 positive and 6 PD-L1 negative. Details of the design, and the gene signatures found are given in the paper associated with this GEO Series: Janis M. Taube, Geoffrey D. Young, Tracee L. McMiller, Shuming Chen, January T. Salas, Theresa S. Pritchard, Haiying Xu, Alan K. Meeker, Jinshui Fan, Chris Cheadle, Alan E. Berger, Drew M. Pardoll, and Suzanne L.
