Project description:There is evidence that microglia interact with infiltrating Th1 and Th17 cells and this interaction results in mutual activation. However, the potential of a distinct cytokine milieu generated by these effector T cell subsets to activate microglia is poorly understood. In this study, we tested the ability of factors secreted by Th1 and Th17 cells to induce microglial activation. Interestingly, we found that only Th1-associated factors had the potential to activate microglia while the Th17-associated factors as well as direct contact of Th17 cells with microglia only had a minimal effect. Further Th1-derived factors triggered a proinflammatory M1-type gene expression profile in microglia Microglia harvested from mixed glial cultures were treated with supernatants from Th1- or Th17 cultures. Microglia cultured in medium was used as controls. At 16h post treatment RNA was isolated from the microglia and probed on Agilent´s murine 4x44k microarrays. RNA isolated from four independent experiments were used for the gene expression profiling. Microglia, Th1, Th17

Project description:GFAP and vimentin deficiency alters gene expression in astrocytes and microglia in wild-type mice and changes the transcriptional response of reactive glia in mouse model for Alzheimer's disease. Reactive astrocytes with an increased expression of intermediate filament (IF) proteins Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Vimentin (VIM) surround amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The functional consequences of this upregulation are unclear. To identify molecular pathways coupled to IF regulation in reactive astrocytes, and to study the interaction with microglia, we examined WT and APPswe/PS1dE9 (AD) mice lacking either GFAP, or both VIM and GFAP, and determined the transcriptome of cortical astrocytes and microglia from 15- to 18-month-old mice. Genes involved in lysosomal degradation (including several cathepsins) and in inflammatory response (including Cxcl5, Tlr6, Tnf, Il1b) exhibited a higher AD-induced increase when GFAP, or VIM and GFAP, were absent. The expression of Aqp4 and Gja1 displayed the same pattern. The downregulation of neuronal support genes in astrocytes from AD mice was absent in GFAP/VIM null mice. In contrast, the absence of IFs did not affect the transcriptional alterations induced by AD in microglia, nor was the cortical plaque load altered. Visualizing astrocyte morphology in GFAP-eGFP mice showed no clear structural differences in GFAP/VIM null mice, but did show diminished interaction of astrocyte processes with plaques. Microglial proliferation increased similarly in all AD groups. In conclusion, absence of GFAP, or both GFAP and VIM, alters AD-induced changes in gene expression profile of astrocytes, showing a compensation of the decrease of neuronal support genes and a trend for a slightly higher inflammatory expression profile. However, this has no consequences for the development of plaque load, microglial proliferation, or microglial activation. 2 cell types from 6 conditions: cortical microglia and cortical astrocytes from 15-18 month old APPswe/PS1dE9 mice compared to wildtype littermates. Biological replicates: microglia from APPswe/PS1dE9, N=7, microglia from WT, N=7, astrocytes from APPswe/PS1dE9, N=4, microglia from WT, N=4

Project description:Microglia colonize the brain parenchyma at early stages of development and accumulate in specific regions where they actively participate in cell death, angiogenesis, neurogenesis and synapse elimination. A recurring feature of embryonic microglial distribution is their association with developing axon tracts which, together with in vitro data, supports the idea of a physiological role for microglia in neurite development. Yet the demonstration of this role of microglia is still lacking. Here, we have studied the consequences of microglial dysfunction on the formation of the corpus callosum, the largest connective structure in the mammalian brain, which shows consistent microglial accumulation during development. We studied two models of microglial dysfunction: the loss-of-function of DAP12, a key microglial-specific signaling molecule, and a model of maternal inflammation by peritoneal injection of LPS at E15.5. We performed transcriptional profiling of maternally inflamed and Dap12-mutant microglia at E17.5. We found that both treatments principally down-regulated genes involved in nervous system development and function, particularly in neurite formation. We then analyzed the functional consequences of these microglial dysfunctions on the formation of the corpus callosum. We also took advantage of the Pu.1-/- mouse line, which is devoid of microglia. We now show that all three models of altered microglial activity resulted in the same defasciculation phenotype. Our study demonstrates that microglia are actively involved in the fasciculation of corpus callosum axons. To investigate possible roles for microglial during brain development, we challenged microglial function by two complementary approaches. First, we induced maternal inflammation by peritoneal injection of LPS into pregnant dams. Next, we analyzed the consequences of a loss of function of DAP12, a signaling molecule specifically expressed in microglia that is crucial for several aspects of microglia biology (references in Wakselman et al., 2008). We compared the gene expression profiles of microglia from control, maternally-inflamed by LPS (MI), and Dap12-mutated embryos. We isolated RNA from FACS sorted maternally inflamed (by LPS) and Dap12-mutant microglia at E17.5 pooled per pregnant dam; as a control we included PBS treated and untreated (UT) microglia. We compared gene expression between maternally inflamed microlgia (PBSvsLPS) and DAP12-mutant microglia (UTvsDAP12KO).

Project description:Preparation of primary microglial cultures from postnatal mice is tedious with a low yield, high variability and risk of astrocytic contamination. Microglia derived from embryonic stem cells (ESdM) have been suggested as alternative source, but it is unclear how closely ESdM resemble the molecular phenotype of primary microglia. Here, we performed a whole transcriptome analysis of ESdM in comparison to primary cultured and flow cytometry-sorted microglia and compared the microglial transcriptome to other cell types. Cultured microglia and ESdM were related to sorted microglia, but clearly distinct from other myeloid cell types, T cells, astrocytes and neurons. ESdM and primary cultured microglia showed strong overlap in their transcriptome. Only 144 gene transcripts were differentially expressed between both cell types, mainly derived from immune-related genes with a higher activation status of pro-inflammatory and immune defense genes in primary microglia compared to ESdM. Flow cytometry analysis of cell surface markers CD54, CD74 and CD274 selected from the microarray confirmed the close phenotypic relation between ESdM and primary cultured microglia. Thus, assessment of genome-wide transcriptional regulation demonstrates that microglia are distinct from other macrophage cell types and that mouse pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia are closely related to cultured postnatal microglia.

Project description:Modern molecular neuroscience studies require analysis of specific cellular populations derived from brain tissue samples to disambiguate cell-type specific events. This is particularly true in glial cell types, such as microglia, which as minority cell populations in the brain, may be obscured in whole tissue analyses. Microglia have central functions in development, aging, and neurodegeneration and are a current focus of neuroscience research. A long-standing concern for glial biologists using in vivo models is whether cell isolation from CNS tissue could introduce ex vivo artifacts in microglia, which respond quickly to changes in the environment. Mouse microglia were purified by antibody-conjugated magnetic bead, and cytometer- and cartridge-based fluorescence-activated cell sorting approaches to compare and contrast performance. The Cx3cr1-NuTRAP (nuclear tagging and translating ribosome affinity purification) model was used to provide an endogenous fluorescent microglial marker and a microglial-specific translatome profile lacking cell isolation artifacts. All methods performed similarly for microgial purity with main differences being in cell yield and time of isolation. Ex vivo activation signatures occurred principally during the initial tissue dissociation and cell preparation and not the microglial cell sorting. Utilizing transcriptional and translational inhibitors during the cell preparation prevented the activational phenotype. These data demonstrate that a variety of microglial isolation approaches can be used, depending on experimental needs, and that inhibitor cocktails are effective at reducing cell preparation artifacts.

Project description:Expression profiling of distinct central nervous system (CNS) cell populations has been employed to facilitate disease classification and to provide insights into the molecular basis of brain pathology. One important cell type implicated in a wide variety of CNS disease states is the resident brain macrophage (microglia). In these studies, microglia are often isolated from dissociated brain tissue by flow sorting procedures [fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)] or from postnatal glial cultures by mechanic isolation. Given the highly dynamic and state-dependent functions of these cells, the use of FACS or short-term culture methods may not accurately capture the biology of brain microglia. In the current study, we performed RNA-sequencing using Cx3cr1+/GFP labeled microglia isolated from the brainstem of 6-week-old mice to compare the transcriptomes of FACS-sorted versus laser capture microdissection (LCM). While both isolation techniques resulted in a large number of shared (common) transcripts, we identified transcripts unique to FACS-isolated and LCM-captured microglia. In particular, M-bM-^HM-<50% of these LCM-isolated microglial transcripts represented genes typically associated with neurons and glia. While these transcripts clearly localized to microglia using complementary methods, they were not translated into protein. Following the induction of murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, increased oligodendrocyte and neuronal transcripts were detected in microglia, while only the myelin basic protein oligodendrocyte transcript was increased in microglia after traumatic brain injury. Collectively, these findings have implications for the design and interpretation of microglia transcriptome-based investigations. Wildtype and GFP expressing microglia from mouse brainstems were flow sorted or captured by laser microdissection. Differences between the two isolation methods were verified and further examined in neurodegenerative disease models.

Project description:The innate immunity influences neural repair after spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, we combined myeloid-specific nuclear transcriptomics and single-cell RNA-sequencing to uncover a common core but also temporally distinct gene programs in injury-activated microglia and macrophages (IAM). Intriguingly, we detected a wide range of microglial activation states even in healthy spinal cord; upon injury, reactive microglia and infiltrated macrophages progressively acquired an overall reparative, yet highly diversified gene expression profile, while maintaining their distinct transcriptional identities. Microglia and macrophages each comprise four distinct transcriptional subtypes with specialized tasks. Notably, IAM and disease-associated microglia (DAM) shared similar gene signatures, with a predominant enrichment in infiltrating macrophages and only a small subset of reactive microglia that specialized in phagocytosis, autophagy, and TyroBP network activity. We also identified an immediate response microglial subtype that may serve as source population for microglial transformation, and a highly proliferative subtype that is controlled by the epigenetic regulator HDAC3. Together, our data unveiled diversification of myeloid and other glial cell types and an extensive influence of HDAC3, which may be exploited to enhance neural repair.
