Human myeloid ontogeny drives differentiation potential in the brain environment [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, play key roles in neurodevelopment and aging, including neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, and myelination. Dysregulated microglia are implicated in various central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Developing safe microglia replacements and eliminating toxic microglia are promising but challenging approaches for treating CNS diseases. Microglia uniquely originate from primitive yolk-sac hematopoiesis, unlike other tissue-resident macrophages that arise from the postnatal bone marrow. Previous studies show that peripheral macrophages fail to adopt microglial characteristics after transplantation. We aim to understand the transcriptional networks underlying the ontological and environmental differences between microglia and peripheral macrophages, which may guide therapeutic strategies. Using human stem cell-derived hematopoietic progenitors (iHPCs) in a humanized mouse model deficient in resident microglia, we demonstrate that iHPCs can replicate the yolk-sac-derived fate of human microglia. We transplanted iHPCs, CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells, and umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived monocytes into murine brains and livers, comparing their differentiation into microglia/macrophages. We found that iHPCs generated more microglia-like cells in the brain compared to CD34+ cells and UCB-derived monocytes, with significant differences in migration and differentiation based on the tissue environment. These findings reveal transcriptional network differences influenced by ontogeny and environment, providing insights for developing microglial-based therapies for CNS disorders.

Interleukin-1 signaling is involved in local self-renewal and maintenance of microglia

Project description:During early embryogenesis microglia arise from yolk sac progenitors populating the developing CNS, where they are maintained as tissue-resident macrophages throughout the organism’s lifespan. Here, we describe an experimental system that allows the specific conditional ablation of microglia in vivo. Strikingly, we found that the microglia compartment was reconstituted within one week following depletion. Microglia repopulation relied entirely on a CNS-resident, internal pool and was independent from bone marrow-derived precursors. Newly formed microglia were found in highly proliferative, organized micro-clusters that dissolve once steady state was achieved. Gene expression profiling revealed prominent expression of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor in proliferating microglia. During the repopulation phase, IL-1 signaling was neutralized by treatment with IL-1 receptor antagonist that impaired microglia proliferation. Hence, microglia harbor a highly efficient potential to restore themselves without contribution of peripheral myeloid cells. IL-1 signaling significantly participates in this restorative proliferation process and is involved in stabilizing microglia maintenance. bone marrow macrophages, wild type microglia, and repopulating microglia

Engrafted parenchymal brain macrophages differ from microglia in transcriptome, chromatin landscape and response to challenge (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Microglia are yolk sac-derived macrophages residing in the parenchyma of brain and spinal cord, where they interact with neurons and other glial cells by constantly probing their surroundings with dynamic extensions. After different conditioning paradigms and bone marrow (BM) or hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, graft-derived cells seed the brain and persistently contribute to the parenchymal brain macrophage compartment. Here we establish that graft-derived macrophages acquire, over time, microglia characteristics, including ramified morphology, longevity, radio-resistance and clonal expansion. However, even after prolonged CNS residence, transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility landscapes of engrafted, BM-derived macrophages remain distinct from yolk sac-derived host microglia. Furthermore, engrafted BM-derived cells display discrete responses to peripheral endotoxin challenge, as compared to host microglia. In human HSC transplant recipients, engrafted cells also remain distinct from host microglia, extending our finding to clinical settings. Collectively, our data emphasize the molecular and functional heterogeneity of parenchymal brain macrophages and highlight potential clinical implications for HSC gene therapies aimed to ameliorate lysosomal storage disorders, microgliopathies or general monogenic immuno-deficiencies.

Early microglia progenitors colonize the embryonic CNS via integrin-mediated transmigration from the pial surface

Project description:Microglia progenitors initially colonize the developing central nervous system (CNS) around embryonic day (E) 9.5 in the mouse. Even though their ontogeny from early erythromyeloid progenitors in the yolk sac is well defined, the molecular machinery needed to enter the developing CNS is so far not resolved. Here, we combined unbiased transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to screen for potential factors. We identified a distinct and dynamic integrin expression profile on microglial progenitors, whereas in parallel the developing CNS peaks in the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. We found that this ECM is deposited along the pial surface between CNS and mesenchyme, where microglial progenitors interact with deposited ECM along the barrier zone of the CNS, pointing to a mesenchyme-to-CNS transmigration route of microglial progenitors. Loss of the integrin adaptor molecule Tln1 in microglia progenitors led to a reduced capacity to enter the developing CNS, whereas their numbers in the surrounding mesenchyme remained unchanged. However, deficiency of Itgb1 or Itgb2 alone was not sufficient to affect this migration. Our data revealed an essential role of a complex integrin expression profile on microglia progenitors to equip these cells to interact with ECM at the pial surface of the developing CNS and facilitate their entrance from the surrounding mesenchyme.

RNA sequencing data of CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) isolated from brains of Mrc1-CreERT2 mice

Project description:All tissue resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), including parenchymal microglia as well as CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) such as meningeal (mMF) and perivascular macrophages (pvMF) are part of the CNS endogenous innate immune system that acts as the first line of defense during infections or trauma. It has been suggested that microglia and all CAM subsets are derived from prenatal cellular sources in the yolk sac that were defined as early erythromyeloid progenitors. However, the precise ontogenetic relationships, the underlying transcriptional programs and the molecular signals that drive the development of distinct CAMs subsets in situ are poorly understood. Using novel fate mapping systems, single-cell profiling and cell-specific mutants, we show that only mMF and microglia share a common prenatal progenitor. In contrast, pvMF originate from perinatal mMF only after birth in an integrin-dependent manner. Furthermore, the establishment of pvMF critically requires the presence of vascular smooth muscle cells. In summary, our data reveal a novel precisely timed process in distinct anatomical niches for the establishment of CNS macrophage subsets.
