Project description:We performed snRNA-seq using 10xgenomics platform to study the role of MAIT cells in regulating neuroinflammation in mice with neurodegenerative tau pathology. MAIT cells are a type of innate-like T cells that are present in the meninges of mice carrying neurodgenerative human tau mutant transgene. This is the first study to examine single nucleus transcriptome profiles of human tau mice lacking MAIT cells.

Project description:The meninges are a tripartite system of membranous tissue comprised of pial, arachnoid and dural layers that cover both the brain and spinal cord. Between the arachnoid and pial layers is the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Though the meninges have long been thought to provide largely a protective function, a growing number of studies highlight this tissue to be a nest of immune activity, harboring T cells, B cells, macrophages, and a variety of other myeloid cell types during health and disease. But despite the burgeoning prospect that the meninges might play a decidedly more active role in immune and other regulatory processes than previously thought, little is known about their structural makeup. Contributing to this void, considerable technical challenges prevent sophisticated analysis of the meninges at cellular and molecular levels. In addition, removal of the brain and spinal cord from their bony encasement leads to tearing of the tenuous meninges and significant disruption of the delicate inter-membrane arrangements. Also lacking are sufficient molecular targets to identify the various meningeal structural elements, only hinted at so far by scanning electron microscopy. Accordingly, we developed a method to allow removal of brain and spinal meninges while minimizing risk of parenchymal contamination and performed shotgun proteomics on the two meningeal domains. While the vast majority of proteins at both locales overlapped, several proteins – including those of structural nature – were exclusive to brain or spinal meninges. Targeting proteins revealed in the proteomic data, the cellular and extracellular elements that provide the meninges’ structure were identified using confocal and electron microscopy, and were observed for the first time in high-resolution

Project description:To identify novel aging-related miRNAs, we initially established a physiological aging mouse model (20-month old male C57BL/6 mouse), compared with 2-month old male C57BL/6 mouse. Then, the Agilent miRNA microarray was performed to profile miRNA expression levels in kidney from 20-month old male C57BL/6 mouse (designated as Aging) and 2-month old male C57BL/6 mouse (designated as Young).

Project description:The meninges contain adaptive immune cells that provide immunosurveillance of the CNS. These cells are thought to derive from the systemic circulation. Through single cell analyses, confocal 35 imaging, bone marrow chimeras and parabiosis experiments, we show that meningeal B cells derive locally from the calvaria, which harbors a bone marrow niche for hematopoiesis. B cells reach the meninges from the calvaria through specialized vascular connections. This calvaria- meningeal path of B cell development may provide the CNS with a constant supply of B cells educated by CNS antigens. Conversely, we show that a subset of antigen-experienced B cells that 40 populate the meninges in aging mice are blood-borne. These results identify a private source for meningeal B cells which may help maintain immune privilege within the CNS.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that the meningeal compartment plays instrumental roles in various neurological disorders and can modulate neurodevelopment and behavior. While this has sparked great interest in the meninges, we still lack fundamental knowledge about meningeal biology. Here, we utilized high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) techniques to investigate the transcriptional response of the meninges to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and aging in the sub-acute and chronic time frames. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we first explored how mild TBI affects the cellular and transcriptional landscape in the meninges in young mice at one week post-injury. Then, using bulk RNA sequencing, we assessed the differential long-term outcomes between young and aged mice following a TBI. In our scRNA-seq studies, we found that mild head trauma leads to an activation of type I interferon (IFN) signature genes in meningeal macrophages as well as the mobilization of multiple distinct sub-populations of meningeal macrophages expressing hallmarks of either classically activated or wound healing macrophages. We also revealed that dural fibroblasts in the meningeal compartment are highly responsive to TBI, and pathway analysis identified differential expression of genes linked to various neurodegenerative diseases. For reasons that remain poorly understood, the elderly are especially vulnerable to head trauma, where even mild injuries can lead to rapid cognitive decline and devastating neuropathology. To better understand the differential outcomes between the young and the elderly following brain injury, we performed bulk RNA-seq on young and aged meninges from mice that had received a mild TBI or Sham treatment 1.5 months prior. Notably, we found that aging alone induced massive upregulation of meningeal genes involved in antibody production by B cells and type I IFN signaling. Following injury, the meningeal transcriptome had largely returned to its pre-injury signature in young mice. In stark contrast, aged TBI mice still exhibited massive upregulation of immune-related genes and markedly reduced expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and maintenance of cellular junctions. Overall, these findings illustrate the dynamic and complex transcriptional response of the meninges to mild head trauma. Moreover, we also reveal how aging modulates the meningeal response to TBI.
