The role of microglia in demyelination: insights into the impact of oligodendrocyte-secreted Serpina3n

ABSTRACT: Microglia, the primary immune cells of the central nervous system, play critical roles in demyelination process. This study investigates the transcriptional changes in microglia associated with demyelination and examines the role of oligodendrocyte-secreted Serpina3n in modulating microglial responses during this pathological process. Bulk RNA sequencing was conducted on microglia isolated from mice subjected to a 4-week cuprizone diet, a model of demyelination. The experimental groups included: (1) normal control mice (Norm_Ctrl), (2) cuprizone-treated wild-type mice (CPZ_Ctrl), and (3) cuprizone-treated Olig2-Cre Serpina3n flox/flox mice (CPZ_cKO). Microglia were purified from mouse brains using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). The results of this study aim to deepen our understanding of olidodendroglial Serpina3n’s role in shaping microglial behavior during demyelination and could inform potential therapeutic strategies for demyelinating diseases.

Single-cell microglial transcriptomics during demyelination defines a microglial state required for lytic carcass clearance

Project description:How microglia respond and regulate demyelination is not fully understood. To understand how microglia respond during demyelination, we fed mice cuprizone and assessed the response of genetically fate-mapped microglia. Cuprizone-induced demyelination generated a robust microglial response. We conducted single-cell RNA sequencing and identified several cuprizone-associated microglia (CAM) clusters during demyelination. These clusters expressed a transcriptomic signature indicative of cytokine regulation and reactive oxygen species production with altered lysosomal and metabolic changes consistent with ongoing phagocytosis. To understand how microglia contribute to the clearance of dead oligodendrocytes, we ablated microglia starting at the peak of cell death. We used the viability dye acridine orange and monitored apoptotic and lytic cell morphologies after microglial ablation and found that microglia preferentially phagocytose lytic carcasses. In culture, microglia exposed to lytic carcasses partially recapitulated the CAM state, suggesting that phagocytosis contributes to this distinct microglial state during cuprizone demyelination.

TREM2 regulates microglial cell activation in response to demyelination in vivo

Project description:Microglia are phagocytic cells that survey the brain and perform neuroprotective functions in response to tissue damage, but their activating receptors are largely unknown. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a microglial immunoreceptor whose loss-of-function mutations in humans cause presenile dementia, while genetic variants are associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In myeloid cells, TREM2 has been involved in the regulation of phagocytosis, cell proliferation and inflammatory responses in vitro. However, it is unknown how TREM2 contributes to microglia function in vivo. Here, we identify a critical role for TREM2 in the activation and function of microglia during cuprizone (CPZ)-induced demyelination. TREM2-deficient (TREM2(-/-)) mice had defective clearance of myelin debris and more axonal pathology, resulting in impaired clinical performances compared to wild-type (WT) mice. TREM2(-/-) microglia proliferated less in areas of demyelination and were less activated, displaying a more resting morphology and decreased expression of the activation markers MHC II and inducible nitric oxide synthase as compared to WT. Mechanistically, gene expression and ultrastructural analysis of microglia suggested a defect in myelin degradation and phagosome processing during CPZ intoxication in TREM2(-/-) microglia. These findings place TREM2 as a key regulator of microglia activation in vivo in response to tissue damage. Two STAGE (6weeks 12 weeks),

Deciphering the role of oligodendroglial Serpina3n in EAE pathology using single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:This study employs single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate cellular and transcriptional changes in the spinal cord at day 27 post-induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Samples were collected from three groups: (1) control mice treated with CFA only (Ctrl_CFA), (2) EAE-induced mice with MOG peptide administration (Ctrl_MOG), and (3) EAE-induced mice with oligodendrocyte-specific Serpina3n deletion (Olig2-Cre Serpina3n flox/flox, Serpina3n cKO_MOG). This approach aims to dissect the cellular diversity and molecular pathways affected by EAE, with a focus on the role of oligodendroglial Serpina3n in modulating neural cellular function and neuroinflammation. The findings provide insights into cell-specific contributions to spinal cord inflammation and demyelination, highlighting Serpina3n as a potential therapeutic target.

Transcriptomic profiling of oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia in a cuprizone-induced demyelination model

Project description:Demyelination is a central pathological feature of multiple sclerosis and many other neurodegenerative diseases, and the cuprizone diet is a widely used model for studying this process. This study examines the transcriptional changes in key glial cell types—oligodendrocyte and astrocytes—during demyelination induced by a 4-week cuprizone diet. Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on these cells isolated using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) from mice on either a normal diet or a 0.3% cuprizone diet. The experimental groups included: (1) oligodendrocytes and astrocytes from mice on a normal diet, and (2) oligodendrocytes and astrocytes from mice on a cuprizone diet. This study provides a comprehensive transcriptomic view of how these glial cell types respond to demyelination and will enhance our understanding of their individual and collective roles in this pathological process.

Gene expression profile in the cuprizone-induced demyelination mouse model

Project description:Myelin abnormalities, oligodendrocyte damage, and concomitant glia activation are common in demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The neurotoxicant cuprizone (CPZ) has been extensively used to create a mouse model of demyelination. However, the changes of miRNA expression and effects on behavior of cuprizone treatment have not been clearly reported. We have analyzed the behavioral changes of mice given a diet containing 0.2% cuprizone for 6 weeks. To evaluate the changes of gene expression in CPZ-induced demyelination compared with control, we performed the GeneChip® mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array.

Dynamics of reactive astrocytes fosters tissue regeneration after cuprizone-induced demyelination [RNA-seq II]

Project description:Demyelination and dysregulated myelination in the CNS are hallmarks of many neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and leukodystrophies. Here, we studied GFAP+ astrocytes during de- and remyelination in the cuprizone mouse by exploiting the ribosomal tagging (RiboTag) technology. Analyses were performed 5 weeks after cuprizone feeding, at the peak of demyelination in the corpus callosum, and 0.5 and 2 weeks after cuprizone withdrawal, when remyelination and tissue repair is initiated. After 5 weeks of cuprizone feeding, reactive astrocytes showed inflammatory signatures with enhanced expression of genes that modulate leukocyte migration (Tlr2, Cd86, Parp14,Cxcl10). Furthermore, demyelination-induced reactive astrocytes expressed numerous ligands including Cx3cl1, Csf1, Il34, and Gas6 that act on homeostatic as well as activated microglia and thus potentially mediate activation and recruitment of microglia as well as enhancement of their phagocytosis. During early remyelination, region-specific astrocytes displayed reduced inflammatory response signatures as indicated by shut down of CXCL10 production. During late remyelination, the signatures of GFAP+ astrocytes shifted towards resolving inflammation by active suppression of lymphocyte activation and differentiation and support of glia cell differentiation. Astrocytes showed enhanced expression of osteopontin (SPP1) as well as of factors that are relevant for tissue remodelling (Timp1), regeneration and axonal repair. In conclusion, we detected highly dynamic astroglial transcriptomic signatures in the cuprizone model, which reflects excessive communication amongst glia cells and highlights different astrocyte functions during neurodegeneration and regeneration.

Dicer deficient adult microglia negatively impacts the process of demyelination and remyelination

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are important regulators of normal brain activities. In CNS demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), the functions of these cells are of particular interest. Based on the observation of diminished Dicer positive microglia/macrophages number in demyelinating white matter lesions (WMLs) of human MS brains, here we probed the impact of impaired microRNA (miRNA)-mediated post-transcriptional gene regulation in a mouse model lacking microglia/macrophage-specific Dicer1 expression during demyelination and remyelination. Conditional Dicer1 ablation and loss of miRNAs expression in adult microglia led to extensive demyelination and impaired myelin processing. Interestingly, demyelination was accompanied by increased apoptosis of mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) and arresting oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the precursor stage. At the transcriptional level, Dicer1-deficient microglia led to downregulation of microglial homeostatic genes, increased cell proliferation, and a shift towards a disease-associated phenotype. Loss of remyelination efficiency in these mice was accompanied by stalling of OPCs in the precursor stage. Collectively, finding from this study highlight a new role of microglial miRNAs in promoting a pro-regenerative phenotype in addition to promoting OPC maturation and differentiation during demyelination and remyelination.
