Indigenous gut microbes modulate neural cell state and neurodegenerative disease susceptibility [5xFAD_CD11b+_Bulk_RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The native microbiome influences a plethora of host processes, including neurological function. We have shown that colonization by Escherichia coli induces a distinct adaptive immune and neurogenerative disease-associated cell state in wildtype mice, suggesting increased disease susceptibility. Further, E. coli exposure in the 5xFAD mouse model results in exacerbated cognitive decline and amyloid pathology, demonstrating its sufficiency to worsen Alzheimer’s disease-relevant outcomes. Here, we performed bulk RNA-seq of CD11b+ brain myeloid cells from E. coli or vehicle treated 5xFAD mice to understand how E. coli modulates neuroimmune responses in the context of amyloid pathology. We demonstrate that E. coli exposed animals have a subtle decrease in genes associated with the disease associated microglia phenotype after 1 month of enrichment, perhaps helping to explain why these animals displayed worsened outcomes.

Indigenous gut microbes modulate neural cell state and neurodegenerative disease susceptibility [snRNA-seq]

Project description:The native microbiome influences a plethora of host processes, including neurological function. However, its impacts on diverse brain cell types remains poorly understood. Here, we performed single nucleus RNA sequencing on hippocampi from wildtype, germ-free mice and reveal the microbiome-dependent transcriptional landscape across all major neural cell types. We found conserved impacts on key adaptive immune and neurodegenerative transcriptional pathways, underscoring the microbiome’s contributions to disease-relevant processes. In addition, mono-colonization with Escherichia coli was found to induce a distinct adaptive immune and neurogenerative disease-associated cell state, suggesting increased disease susceptibility.

Alzheimer's disease risk ABCA7 p.A696S variant disturbs the microglial response to amyloid pathology in mice

Project description:The adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette transporter A7 (ABCA7) gene is ranked as one of the top susceptibility loci for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While ABCA7 mediates lipid transport across cellular membranes, ABCA7 loss of function has been shown to exacerbate amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology and compromise microglial function. Our family-based study uncovered an extremely rare ABCA7 p.A696S variant that was substantially segregated with the development of AD in 3 African American families. Using the knockin mouse model, we investigated the effects of ABCA7-A696S substitution on amyloid pathology and brain immune response in 5xFAD transgenic mice. Importantly, our study demonstrated that ABCA7-A696S substitution reduces amyloid plaque–associated microgliosis and increases dystrophic neurites around amyloid deposits compared to control mice. We also found increased X-34–positive amyloid plaque burden in 5xFAD mice with ABCA7-A696S substitution, while there was no evident difference in insoluble Aβ levels between mouse groups. Thus, ABCA7-A696S substitution may disrupt amyloid compaction resulting in aggravated neuritic dystrophy due to insufficient microglia barrier function. In addition, we observed that ABCA7-A696S substitution disturbs the induction of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β and interferon γ in the brains of 5xFAD mice, although some disease-associated microglia gene expression, including Trem2 and Tyrobp, are upregulated. Lipidomics also detected higher total lysophosphatidylethanolamine levels in the brains of 5xFAD mice with ABCA7-A696S substitution than controls. These results suggest that ABCA7-A696S substitution might compromise the adequate innate immune response to amyloid pathology in AD by modulating brain lipid metabolism, providing novel insight into the pathogenic mechanisms mediated by ABCA7.

Cortical single-cell RNA sequencing of the microglia specific TREM2 inducible mouse models in the middle stage of amyloid deposition

Project description:We induced TREM2 expression at 2 months of age in our 5xFAD/TREM2 mouse models and harvested the animals at 5 months of age. The single cells from the cortex were isolated and subjected to the single-cell RNA seq to investigate the effects of TREM2 on microglia transcriptomic profiles in the middle stage of amyloid development. Our data showed that TREM2-WT induced the mTOR/EIF2 signaling pathways and restricted the disease associated microglia (DAM) signature. In contrast TREM2-R47H variant significantly upregulated the MHC class II molecules, enriched the antigen presentation pathway, and exacerbated a signature of antigen presentation contributing to enhanced amyloid pathology.

Ethanol increases diffuse amyloid plaque load and impairs memory in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related dementia. Lifestyle factors, including alcohol use, can increase the risk of AD. While human studies demonstrate that alcohol use can negatively impact AD risk and disease progression, the underlying alcohol-dependent mechanisms that increase Aβ burden and impair cognition remain elusive. We have recently shown that alcohol (ethanol) can acutely affect microglial dynamics, which are critical to microglial function, and many other studies have reported inflammatory activation of microglia after long-term alcohol exposure in both humans and animal models. Here, we administered 4 weeks of ethanol at dosages that mimic human binge drinking to 2.5-month-old male 5xFAD mice, a common mouse model of AD. After a two-week abstinence period, we performed behavior assays and analyzed amyloid pathology and microglial transcriptome in the hippocampus and morphology in the subiculum where amyloid pathology develops earlier than in other brain regions. We found that ethanol exposure facilitated amyloid pathology and worsened cognitive function in 5xFAD mice, while microglial transcriptomic landscape, arborization and phagocytosis appeared unchanged. Overall, our results suggest that pronounced ethanol exposure, when started early in the disease before amyloid pathology is established, can worsen AD progression in an amyloidosis model.

Indigenous gut microbes modulate neural cell state and neurodegenerative disease susceptibility [mono-colonized_RNA-seq]

Project description:The native microbiome influences a plethora of host processes, including neuroimmune function. However, the consequences of individual gut microbes on neuroinflammatory tone remain largely unexplored. In the present dataset, we investigated the consequences of four bacterial type strains representing prevalent genera within the mammalian gut microbiome (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta), Clostridium celatum, Lactobacillus johnsonii, and Escherichia coli) on the transcriptional profile of CD11b+ brain myeloid cells. After 2 weeks of mono-colonization with the bacteria species of interest, it was found that each bacterial type had distinct effects on brain myeloid cell gene expression, highlighting the bacterial dependent consequences of the microbiome for neuroinflammatory outcomes.

Osteopontin-producing microglia contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and severity

Project description:We define a pathogenic subset of microglia that is distinguished by expression of the CD11c protein and by production of osteopontin (OPN). OPN production by this CD11c+ microglial subset correlates positively with disease pathology and severity in the 5XFAD mouse model and in AD patients. Genetic ablation of OPN in 5XFAD mice leads to reduced development of pro-inflammatory CD11c+ microglia, increased amyloid beta (Aβ) phagocytosis and improved cognitive function.

TREM2 Acts Downstream of CD33 in Modulating Microglial Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease

Project description:CD33-/- and/or TREM2-/- mice were crossed with the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease to generate single and double CD33/TREM2 knock-out mice on 5xFAD background. Transcriptome and gene expression analyses were performed to analyze the impact of CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out on the transcriptome of microglia in the context of amyloid pathology. The results revealed that CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out reprogrammed microglial gene expression signatures in 5xFAD mice in an age-dependent manner. Differential gene expression in 5xFAD;CD33-/- microglia depended on the presence of TREM2. These data suggest that TREM2 acts downstream of CD33.

Different effects of constitutive and induced microbiota modulation on microglia in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:It was recently revealed that gut microbiota promote amyloid-beta (Aβ) burden in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms when using either germ-free (GF) housing conditions or treatments with antibiotics (ABX) remained unknown. In this study, we show that GF and ABX-treated 5x familial AD (5xFAD) mice developed attenuated hippocampal Aβ pathology and associated neuronal loss, and thereby delayed disease-related memory deficits. While Ab production remained unaffected in both GF and ABX-treated 5xFAD mice, we noticed in GF 5xFAD mice enhanced microglial Aβ uptake at early stages of the disease compared to ABX-treated 5xFAD mice. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing of hippocampal microglia from SPF, GF and ABX-treated 5xFAD mice revealed distinct microbiota-dependent gene expression profiles associated with phagocytosis and altered microglial activation states. Taken together, we observed that constitutive or induced microbiota modulation in 5xFAD mice differentially controls microglial Aβ clearance mechanisms preventing neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits.
