CD8+ T cells induce interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes during white matter aging


ABSTRACT: A hallmark of nervous system aging is a decline of white matter volume and function, but the underlying mechanisms leading to white matter pathology are unknown. Here, we found age-related alterations of oligodendrocytes with a reduction of total oligodendrocyte density in the aging murine white matter. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identify interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes, which localize in proximity of CD8+ T cells in the aging white matter. Absence of functional lymphocytes decreased oligodendrocyte reactivity and rescued oligodendrocyte loss, while T-cell checkpoint inhibition worsened the aging effect. In addition, we identified a subpopulation of immune cell dependent interferon-responsive microglia in the aging white matter, and co-culture experiments revealed that interferon- activated microglia triggered oligodendrocytes cell death. In summary, we provide evidence that T cells induced interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes and microglia are important modifiers of white matter aging.
