Aurka-Bhlhe41 axis prevents premature aging-like microglial dysfunction and promotes remyelination

ABSTRACT: Aging accelerates central nervous system remyelination failure and neurodegeneration. Microglia promote remyelination by phagocytosing myelin debris, but this function is impaired by aging-related CD22 upregulation. However, the molecular mechanisms counteracting premature aging-related microglial dysfunction and remyelination impairment remain unclear. Here, we report that Aurka-Bhlhe41 axis prevents premature aging-like microglial dysfunction and promotes remyelination by restraining progressive CD22 upregulation. We identified that microglia-enriched Bhlhe41 was negatively autoregulated and inhibited by Aurka loss. Bhlhe41- or Aurka-deficient young mice exhibited aging-like microglial morphology, phagocytic deficits, progressive CD22 upregulation, and remyelination impairment in cuprizone-induced demyelination model. Conversely, ectopic Bhlhe41 expression induced hypertrophic microglia, and counteracted phagocytic deficits and CD22 upregulation in Aurka-deficient microglia. CD22 blockade restored phagocytic function and remyelination in Bhlhe41-deficient mice. Notably, a conserved pattern of CD22 upregulation was observed in human PCDH9high microglia subsets with BHLHE41 downregulation. These findings offer insights into potential therapeutic strategies to combat aging-related neurodegeneration and central nervous system functional decline.

CD22 Blockade Alleviates Anesthesia Surgery-Mediated Cognitive Impairment in Aged Mice

Project description:<p>Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication characterized by cognitive decline following surgery, with neuroinflammation serving as a critical pathogenic mechanism. Emerging evidence indicates that CD22, an inhibitory receptor primarily expressed on B cells and microglia, plays a key immunomodulatory role in the central nervous system. This study aims to investigate the role of CD22 in mitigating neuroinflammation and ameliorating POCD. Using a murine model of sterile laparotomy, we observed that surgery-induced cognitive impairment was associated with exacerbated hippocampal inflammation and enhanced microglial activation. In contrast, upregulation or agonism of CD22 signaling significantly reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-1β, and suppressed microglial overactivation. Notably, CD22-modulated mice exhibited markedly improved performance in behavioral tests assessing learning and memory compared to control groups. Our findings demonstrate that CD22 activation confers protection against POCD by inhibiting surgery-induced neuroinflammation through the S100a9 signaling pathway. Therefore, targeting the CD22 pathway may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the prevention or treatment of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.</p>

TREM2 regulates microglial cholesterol metabolism upon chronic phagocytic challenge [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:TREM2 is a microglial-specific gene implicated in late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Recent studies have identified that Trem2-deficient mice exhibit transcriptional changes in microglial gene expression that minimize the upregulation of lipid metabolism and lysosomal genes in AD disease models. We find that chronic phagocytic challenge from demyelination generates similiarly attenuated expression of lysosomal and lipid metabolism genes in microglia isolated from Trem2 knockout mouse brain.

Age-impaired remyelination is associated with dysregulated microglial transitions.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory condition characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration. Regeneration of lost myelin, or remyelination, occurs in people with MS but is prone to failure and impaired with age. Remyelination is facilitated by microglia but our understanding of the microglial response during remyelination is incomplete. Here, we profiled the microglial response in the lysolecithin mouse model of remyelination using single-cell RNA sequencing. We found several distinct microglial states during the early stages of remyelination that coalesced into a resolved microglial state defined by myelin transcripts. This resolved state was also present in MS brains. As remyelination becomes inefficient with age, we profiled microglia from both young and middle-aged mice during remyelination and found a delay in several microglial states, in concordance with delayed remyelination. Overall, microglia synchronously initiate a multi-faceted response during efficient remyelination in young mice, which becomes dysregulated with age.

Naturally-aged microglia exhibit phagocytic dysfunction accompanied by gene expression changes reflective of underlying neurologic disease

Project description:Age-associated microglial dysfunction contributes to the accumulation of amyloid-b (Ab) plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. Although several studies have shown age-related declines in the phagocytic capacity of myeloid cells, relatively few have examined phagocytosis of normally aged microglia. Furthermore, much of the existing data on aging microglial function have been generated in accelerated genetic models of Alzheimer’s disease. Here we found that naturally aged microglia phagocytosed less Ab over time. To gain a better understanding of such dysfunction, we assessed differences in gene expression between young and old microglia that either did or did not phagocytose Ab. Young microglia had both phagocytic and neuronal maintenance signatures indicative of normal microglial responses, whereas, old microglia, regardless of phagocytic status, exhibit signs of broad dysfunction reflective of underlying neurologic disease states. We also found downregulation of many phagocytic receptors on old microglia, including TREM2, an Ab phagocytic receptor. TREM2 protein expression was diminished in old microglia and loss of TREM2+ microglia was correlated with impaired Ab uptake, suggesting a mechanism for phagocytic dysfunction in old microglia. Combined, our work reveals that normally aged microglia have broad changes in gene expression, including defects in Ab phagocytosis that likely underlies the progression to neurologic disease.

Microglial aryl hydrocarbon receptor enhances phagocytic function and promotes remyelination in a model of multiple sclerosis

Project description:We employed a cuprizone-induced demyelinating model to identify the role of AhR in remyelination with microglial AhR-deficient mice and wild type mice. RNA-seq was performed to compare gene transcriptional profile in wild type mice and microglial AhR-deficient mice of cuprizone model to gain insight into the effects of AhR on microglia function.

SIRT1 deficiency in microglia contributes to cognitive decline in aging and neurodegeneration via epigenetic regulation of IL-1beta

Project description:Aging is the predominant risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. One key phenotype as brain ages is the aberrant innate immune response characterized by proinflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aging-associated proinflammation are poorly defined. Whether chronic inflammation plays a causal role in cognitive decline in aging and neurodegeneration has not been established. Here we established a mechanistic link between chronic inflammation and aging microglia, and demonstrated a causal role of aging microglia in neurodegenerative cognitive deficits. Expression of microglial SIRT1 reduces with the aging of microglia. Genetic reduction of microglial SIRT1 elevates IL-1Î² selectively, and exacerbates cognitive deficits in aging and in transgenic mouse models of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Interestingly, the selective activation of IL-1Î² transcription by SIRT1 deficiency is likely mediated through hypomethylating the proximal promoter of IL-1Î². Consistent with our findings in mice, selective hypomethylation of IL-1Î² at two CpG sites are found in normal aging humans and demented patients with tauopathy. Our findings reveal a novel epigenetic mechanism in aging microglia that contributes to cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative diseases.

West Nile Virus-induced expression of senescent gene Lgals3bpregulates microglial phenotype within cerebral cortex

Project description:Microglia, the resident macrophages of the central nervous system, exhibit altered gene expression in response to various neurological conditions. This study investigates the relationship between West Nile Virus infection, and microglial senescence, focusing on the role of LGALS3BP, a protein implicated in both antiviral responses and aging. Using spatial transcriptomics, RNA sequencing and flow cytometry, we characterized changes in microglial gene signatures in adult and aged mice following recovery from WNV encephalitis. Additionally, we analyzed Lgals3bp expression and generated Lgals3bp-deficient mice to assess the impact on neuroinflammation and microglial phenotypes. Our results show that WNV-activated microglia share transcriptional signatures with aged microglia, including upregulation of genes involved in interferon response and inflammation. Lgals3bp was broadly expressed in the CNS and robustly upregulated during WNV infection and aging. Lgals3bp-deficient mice exhibited reduced neuroinflammation, increased homeostatic microglial numbers, and altered T cell populations without differences in virologic control or survival. This data indicates that LGALS3BP has a role in regulating neuroinflammation and microglial activation and suggest that targeting LGALS3BP might provide a potential route for mitigating neuroinflammation-related cognitive decline in aging and post-viral infections.

Pro-inflammatory activity following demyelinating injury is required for phagocytic function and oligodendrocyte formation

Project description:Remyelination can occur naturally in demyelinating lesions, but often fails in human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The function of the innate immune system is essential for the regenerative response, but how exactly microglia and macrophages clear myelin debris after injury and tailor a specific regenerative response is unclear. Here, we asked whether pro-inflammatory microglial/macrophage activation is required for this process. We established a novel toxin-based spinal cord model of de- and remyelination in zebrafish and showed that pro-inflammatory nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) dependent activation occurs in phagocytes rapidly after myelin injury. We found that the pro-inflammatory response depends on myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), the canonical adaptor for inflammatory signaling pathways downstream of toll-like receptors (TLRs). MyD88-deficient mice and zebrafish were impaired not only in the degradation of myelin debris, but also in initiating the generation of new oligodendrocytes for myelin repair. We identified reduced generation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lesions of MyD88-deficient animals, a pro-inflammatory molecule that was able to induce the generation of new oligodendrocytes. Our study shows that pro-inflammatory phagocytic signaling is an evolutionary conserved mechanism necessary for degrading myelin debris, essential for inflammation resolution, and for initiating the secretion of pro-inflammatory myelin repair molecules.
