APOE3 and APOE4 Human Astrocytes Differentially Modulate Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology and Microglial Responses in Chimeric Mice

ABSTRACT: To investigate how APOE3 and APOE4 human iPSC-derived astrocytes influence the gene expression profile of the mouse host microglia in vivo, we performed bulk RNA sequencing of cortical regions adjacent to transplanted astrocytes in AD chimeric mice. Human iPSC-derived astrocytes (APOE3 or APOE4) were transplanted into neonatal Alzheimer's disease model mice and analyzed 6-7 months post-transplantation. Mouse-specific transcripts were analyzed to compare the transcriptomic profiles of host microglia in AD chimeric mice engrafted with APOE4 versus APOE3 human astrocytes.

Microglia Depletion Reduces Human Neuronal APOE4-Driven Pathologies in a Chimeric Alzheimer’s Disease Model

Project description:Despite strong evidence supporting the involvement of both apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) and microglia in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathogenesis, the effects of microglia on neuronal APOE4-driven AD pathogenesis remain elusive. Here, we examined such effects utilizing microglial depletion in a chimeric model with human neurons in mouse hippocampus. Specifically, we transplanted homozygous APOE4, isogenic APOE3, and APOE-knockout (APOE-KO) induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human neurons into the hippocampus of human APOE3 or APOE4 knock-in mice, and depleted microglia in half the chimeric mice. We found that both neuronal APOE and microglial presence were important for the formation of Aβ and tau pathologies in an APOE isoform-dependent manner (APOE4 > APOE3). Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis identified two pro-inflammatory microglial subtypes with high MHC-II gene expression that are enriched in chimeric mice with human APOE4 neuron transplants. These findings highlight the concerted roles of neuronal APOE, especially APOE4, and microglia in AD pathogenesis.

APOE4 Causes Widespread Molecular and Cellular Alterations Associated with Alzheimer's Disease Phenotypes in Human iPSC-Derived Brain Cell Types

Project description:The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) variant is the single greatest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD). However, the cell-type-specific functions of APOE4 in relation to AD pathology remain understudied. Here, we utilize CRISPR/Cas9 and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to examine APOE4 effects on human brain cell types. Transcriptional profiling identified hundreds of differentially expressed genes in each cell type, with the most affected involving synaptic function (neurons), lipid metabolism (astrocytes), and immune response (microglia-like cells). APOE4 neurons exhibited increased synapse number and elevated Ab42 secretion relative to isogenic APOE3 cells while APOE4 astrocytes displayed impaired Ab uptake and cholesterol accumulation. Notably, APOE4 microglia-like cells exhibited altered morphologies, which correlated with reduced Ab phagocytosis. Consistently, converting APOE4 to APOE3 in brain cell types from sAD iPSCs was sufficient to attenuate multiple AD-related pathologies. Our study establishes a reference for human cell-type-specific changes associated with the APOE4 variant.

Differential gene expression in APOE3 and APOE4 gene targeted replacement mice

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate hepatic gene expression profiles differentially regulated by the APOE genotype in gene targeted replacement mice. The APOE4 genotype is associated with increased mortality in the elderly and is an independent risk factor for age-dependent chronic diseases. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and molecular targets involved in the APOE4-risk association. As APOE is centrally involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism and in large part is produced in the liver, we analyzed hepatic RNA profiles of APOE4- and APOE3-expressing mice. 2 groups of 5 animals with 1 liver extract per animal. Mice were homozygous for a human APOE3 or APOE4 gene targeted replacement of the endogenous mouse Apoe gene (B6.129P2-Apoetm2(APOE*3)Mae N8 or B6.129P2-Apoetm3(APOE*4)Mae N8, Taconic Transgenic ModelsM-bM-^DM-", http://www.taconic.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=2542), purchased at the age of 6-8 weeks, strain C57BL/6, 3 months old at the performance of the microarray, 6 weeks on a high-fat diet containing 41% energy from milk fat and 2 g/kg cholesterol.

Human astrocyte secretome data

Project description:In late-onset sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent and strongest risk factor is the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE4). To investigate the pathophysiological effects of the APOE4 genotype in the human cellular context, we generated isogenic iPSC-derived astrocytes bearing APOE4 alleles from APOE3 control iPSC. Next, to identify astrocytic APOE4-specific secreted proteomes, we performed a mass spectrometry using culture media from human astrocytes carrying APOE3 or APOE4.

Comparaison of APOE4 and APOE3 transcriptomic profiles from derived cell lines in absence or presence of an inflammatory stimulus

Project description:Our objective was to study some of the molecular changes that associate with APOE4, ultimately aiming at identifying new mechanisms that support exacerbated neuroinflammation as a cause of functional deterioration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We hypothesize that the increased risk of developing AD in APOE4 carriers could be the consequence of altered inflammatory regulatory functions in astrocytes, which would be key effectors of the pathological process.

APOE4-dependent transcriptome changes in human iPSC-derived astrocytes

Project description:APOE4 genotype is the strongest risk factor for the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the detailed molecular mechanism of APOE4-mediated synaptic impairment remains to be determined in human cellular context. In this study, we generated human astrocyte model carrying APOE3 or APOE4 genotype using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in which isogenic APOE4 iPSCs were genome-edited from healthy control APOE3 iPSCs. By transcriptome analysis of human astrocytes between APOE genotypes, we showed the upregulation of an extracellular matrix glycoprotein in human APOE4 astrocytes, which may cause synaptic degeneration in concert with the equivocal reactive character and lipid change. Together, these results demonstrate novel negative impact of human APOE4 astrocyte on synaptic integrity and lead to a promising therapeutic intervention into APOE4-carriers.

In Vivo Chimeric Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling of Apolipoprotein E4 Toxicity in Human Neurons

Project description:Despite its clear impact on Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk, apolipoprotein (apo) E4’s contributions to AD etiology remain poorly understood. Progress in answering this and other questions in AD research has been limited by an inability to model human-specific phenotypes in an in vivo environment. Here we transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons carrying normal apoE3 or pathogenic apoE4 into human apoE3 or apoE4 knock-in mouse hippocampi, enabling us to disentangle the effects of apoE4 produced in human neurons and in the brain environment. Using single nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq), we identified key transcriptional changes specific to human neuron subtypes in response to endogenous or exogenous apoE4. We also found that Aβ from transplanted human neurons formed plaque-like aggregates, with differences in localization and interaction with microglia depending on the transplant and host apoE genotype. These findings highlight the power of in vivo chimeric disease modeling for studying AD.

LC-MS/MS of HNE-apoE3 and HNE-apoE4

Project description:The overall goal of our study is to understand the effect of HNE modification on the structure and function of apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) and apoE4, which play a critical role in brain cholesterol homeostasis. Immunoblots indicated HNE modification of recombinant apoE3 and apoE4 with a major band at ~36 kDa, while LC-MS/MS analysis revealed modification of H140 and H299 in both, and additionally at C112 in apoE3.
