Project description:Understanding the respective role of microglia and infiltrating monocytes in neuroinflammatory conditions has recently seemed possible by the identification of a specific microglia signature. Here instead we provide evidence that peripheral macrophages may express some of the most commonly described microglia markers at some developmental stages or pathological conditions, in particular during chronic neuroinflammation. Further, our data support the hypothesis about phenotypic plasticity and convergence among distinct myeloid cells so that they may act as a functional unit rather than as different entities, boosting their mutual functions in different phases of disease. This holds relevant implications in the view of the growing use of myeloid cell therapies to treat brain disease in humans.

Project description:Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau along with glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation are prominent pathogenic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In recent years, impairment of autophagy has been found to be another important feature contributing to AD progression. Therefore, the potential of the autophagy activator spermidine, a small body-endogenous polyamine often used as dietary supplement, was assessed on Aβ pathology and glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation. Oral treatment of the amyloid prone AD-like APPPS1 mice with spermidine reduced neurotoxic soluble Aβ and decreased AD-associated neuroinflammation. A subsequent proteome analysis of isolated microglia confirmed the anti-inflammatory and revealed cytoskeletal effects of spermidine in APPPS1 mice. Our data highlight that the autophagy activator spermidine holds the potential to enhance Aβ degradation and to counteract microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in AD pathology.

Project description:Microglial activation during neuroinflammation is crucial for coordinating the immune response against neuronal tissue and the initial response of microglia determines the severity of neuroinflammatory diseases. CD83 has been associated with early activation of microglia in various disease settings albeit its functional relevance for microglial biology was still elusive. Thus, we conducted a thorough assessment of CD83 regulation in microglia as well as its impact on microglial mediated neuroinflammation. Here, we describe for the first time that CD83 expression in microglia is not only associated with cellular activation but also with pro-resolving functions. Conditional deletion of CD83 causes malfunctioning responses to myelin debris, which results in an over-activated state during autoimmune neuroinflammation. Subsequently, CD83-deficient microglia recruit more pathogenic immune cells to the central nervous system and deteriorate resolving mechanism, which exacerbates the disease. Thus, CD83 in microglia orchestrates cellular activation and consequently, also resolution of neuroinflammation.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive paralysis resulting from specific degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs). Chronic neuroinflammation, mediated by activated microglia, is a hallmark of patients diagnosed with ALS, and correlates with disease pathogenesis. Protecting MNs, particularly from toxic insults caused by neuroinflammation, could lead to effective treatments of ALS patient. Here, we report a screening campaign identifying a series of pyrazolotriazines that cell-autonomously protect MNs against neuroinflammation. We demonstrate that these compounds inhibit Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), and we use phospho-proteomics to show that neuroprotection is linked to alterations in microtubule dynamics.

Project description:The rapid accumulation of self-renewed polarized microglia in the penumbra is the critical neuroinflammatory process after the onset of ischemic stroke, leading to secondary demyelination and neuronal loss. HDAC3 has been reported to regulate cell proliferation of tumour cells and modulate neuroinflammation. However, the mechanism by which HDAC3 regulates microgliosis and microglial polarization remains ambiguous. Herein, we demonstrated that microglia-specific ablation of HDAC3 (HDAC3-miKO) ameliorated poststroke long-term functional and histological outcomes. Starting with unbiased RNA seq of microglia, we identified mitosis as the most significant process reversed by loss of HDAC3. Notably, HDAC3-miKO specifically inhibited the proliferation of M1-like microglia but not M2-like microglia, resulting in microglial transition to an M1-like state. Moreover, ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) revealed that HDAC3 deletion induced drastic closing of accessible regions enriched with motifs for PU.1. Taken together, we uncovered for the first time that HDAC3/PU.1-mediated differential proliferation-related reprogramming in different microglia populations drives poststroke inflammatory state transition of microglia and thereby contributes to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke.

Project description:The vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates cell proliferation and differentiation including epidermal keratinocytes by modulating transcription of its target genes. We are investigating the role of VDR in epidermal stem cells and their progenies in the regeneration process of epidermis and hair in the skin. VDR null mice are utilized in which VDR is specifically deleted in keratin 14 (K14) expressing keratinocytes by Cre-lox strategy. The impact of VDR deletion was evaluated by comparison of VDR null mice with no cre littermate control mice. The VDR was abundantly expressed in potential epidermal stem cells including basal cells in interfollicular epidermis (IFE), and in CD34 expressing bulge keratinocytes in hair follicles. Gene expression profiles and subsequent pathway analysis of stem cell enriched keratinocyte populations revealed that the VDR deletion significantly suppressed β-catenin signaling as well as VDR signaling. The role of VDR in epidermal stem cells was studied during hair follicle cycling and wound healing processes. The epidermal stem cells were not appropriately stimulated by hair depilation, and did not reinitiate anagen in the hair follicles resulting in a failure of hair regrowth. In addition, the stem cells were not fully activated after full thickness wounds were generated in VDR null skin under a low calcium diet to suppress compensation pathways. Cell proliferation was not fully induced in potential stem cells located in both IFE and hair follicles near the wounding edges, and re-epithelialization rate was delayed in VDR null skin. Gene expression profiling of the wounded skin (3 days after injury) indicated that β-catenin signaling was not fully induced in VDR null skin comparable to that observed in β-catenin null mice. The β-catenin target genes including Axin2 and cell cycle regulators involved in epidermal stem cell function were not induced in the edges of the wound of VDR null skin. These results demonstrated that VDR plays an essential role in hair cycling and wound healing processes through regulation of β-catenin signaling in epidermal stem cells and their progenies. n=3 CON and KO (each sample contain RNA isolated from wounded or nonwounded skins excised from 3 mice)

Project description:The genome-wide analysis of the binding sites of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR) is essential for a global appreciation the physiological impact of the nuclear hormone 1M-NM-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). Genome-wide analysis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-polarized THP-1 human monocytic leukemia cells via chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) resulted in 1,318 high-confidence VDR binding sites, of which 789 and 364 occurred uniquely with and without 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulation, while only 165 were common. We re-analyzed five public VDR ChIP-seq datasets with identical peak calling settings (MACS, version 2) and found in total 23,409 non-overlapping VDR binding sites, 75% of which are unique within the six analyzed cellular models. LPS-differentiated THP-1 cells have 22% more genomic VDR locations than undifferentiated cells and both cell types display more overlap in their VDR locations than the other investigated cell types. In general, the intersection of VDR binding profiles of ligand-stimulated cells is higher than those of unstimulated cells. De novo binding site searches and DR3-type binding site screening using HOMER of the six VDR ChIP-seq datasets suggest that DR3 sites are strongly associated with the ligand-responsiveness of VDR occupation. Importantly, all VDR ChIP-seq datasets display the same relationship between the VDR occupancy and the percentage of DR3-type sequences below the peak summits. The comparative analysis of six VDR ChIP-seq datasets demonstrated that the mechanistic basis for the action of the VDR is independent of the cell type. Only the minority of genome-wide VDR binding sites contains a DR3-type sequence. Moreover, the total number of identified VDR binding sites in each ligand-stimulated cell line inversely correlates with the percentage of peak summits with DR3 sites. Systematic reanalysis of 5 published VDR ChIP-seq datasets together with a new dataset from 24 h LPS-treated THP-1 cells at the unstimulated state and after 80 min ligand (10 nM 1M-NM-1,25(OH)2D3 (1,25D, calcitriol)) treatment.
