Project description:IFN-gamma is a classical microglial stimulant. We used microarrays to investigate the microglial gene regulatory network activated by interferon-gamma. Experiment Overall Design: Primary rat microglia cultures were established and maintained for 15 days. For activation studies, fresh media containing IFN-gamma (100 U/ml) were added and left overnight (16 hours). Total RNA was extraction and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays (RG_U34A). Five arrays were run from total RNA derived from unstimulated 5 independent cultures (Mgl_CON1, Mgl_CON2, Mgl_CON3, Mgl_CON5 and Mgl_CON6). Three standard microglial cultures were stimulated (Mgl_IFNgamma_2 and Mgl_IFNgamma_3) with one of the samples analysed in triplicate as a technical control (Mgl_IFNgamma_1a, Mgl_IFNgamma_1b and Mgl_IFNgamma_1c).

Project description:Preparation of primary microglial cultures from postnatal mice is tedious with a low yield, high variability and risk of astrocytic contamination. Microglia derived from embryonic stem cells (ESdM) have been suggested as alternative source, but it is unclear how closely ESdM resemble the molecular phenotype of primary microglia. Here, we performed a whole transcriptome analysis of ESdM in comparison to primary cultured and flow cytometry-sorted microglia and compared the microglial transcriptome to other cell types. Cultured microglia and ESdM were related to sorted microglia, but clearly distinct from other myeloid cell types, T cells, astrocytes and neurons. ESdM and primary cultured microglia showed strong overlap in their transcriptome. Only 144 gene transcripts were differentially expressed between both cell types, mainly derived from immune-related genes with a higher activation status of pro-inflammatory and immune defense genes in primary microglia compared to ESdM. Flow cytometry analysis of cell surface markers CD54, CD74 and CD274 selected from the microarray confirmed the close phenotypic relation between ESdM and primary cultured microglia. Thus, assessment of genome-wide transcriptional regulation demonstrates that microglia are distinct from other macrophage cell types and that mouse pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia are closely related to cultured postnatal microglia.

Project description:In murine glioma models, TLR2 is selectively upregulated in glioma-associated microglia. We found that TLR2 activation led to down-regulation of MHC-II in microglia. Therefore, we examined the effect of TLR2 activation on IFN-gamma-induced microglial transcriptome by in vitro culture of murine adult microglia. In the study, we confirmed that TLR2 activation led to Ciita shutdown and inhibition of MHC-II related genes, which also revealed the role of TLR2 in inducing APC disability and tumor immune escape. In addition, this work can be used to reveal the transcriptional characteristics of murine microglia during IFN-gamma and TLR2 activation.

Project description:Microglial cells are resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) and play a pivotal role in the innate and adaptive immune responses against microbial infections. The immune functions of microglia are regulated by a milieu of cytokines including interferon (IFN)-gamma. We here performed a series of experiments to acertain the transcriptional profile of human fetal microglial cells at 1, 6, and 24 h after IFN-gamma treatment. Primary human microglial cells were either untreated or treated with 200u/ml IFN-gamma. Affymetrix U133A chips were utilized. Four different tissue samples (B18, O, W, and Y20) were analyzed at the three time points.

Project description:To identify genes whose expression is regulated by Fosb gene products in microglia, we performed microarray analysis using RNA prepared from wild-type and fosB-null microglial cells. Microarray analysis revealed that expression levels of 6 genes are altered in primary cultured microglial cells prepared from fosB-null mice compared with wild type. fosB+/G mice with a null-mutant allele, fosBG, were established and maintained by backcrossing to C57BL/6J. To yield homozygous mutant mice, fosB+/G (N20 generation) mice were intercrossed. C57BL/6J mice were used as wild-type control.

Project description:Microglia colonize the brain parenchyma at early stages of development and accumulate in specific regions where they actively participate in cell death, angiogenesis, neurogenesis and synapse elimination. A recurring feature of embryonic microglial distribution is their association with developing axon tracts which, together with in vitro data, supports the idea of a physiological role for microglia in neurite development. Yet the demonstration of this role of microglia is still lacking. Here, we have studied the consequences of microglial dysfunction on the formation of the corpus callosum, the largest connective structure in the mammalian brain, which shows consistent microglial accumulation during development. We studied two models of microglial dysfunction: the loss-of-function of DAP12, a key microglial-specific signaling molecule, and a model of maternal inflammation by peritoneal injection of LPS at E15.5. We performed transcriptional profiling of maternally inflamed and Dap12-mutant microglia at E17.5. We found that both treatments principally down-regulated genes involved in nervous system development and function, particularly in neurite formation. We then analyzed the functional consequences of these microglial dysfunctions on the formation of the corpus callosum. We also took advantage of the Pu.1-/- mouse line, which is devoid of microglia. We now show that all three models of altered microglial activity resulted in the same defasciculation phenotype. Our study demonstrates that microglia are actively involved in the fasciculation of corpus callosum axons. To investigate possible roles for microglial during brain development, we challenged microglial function by two complementary approaches. First, we induced maternal inflammation by peritoneal injection of LPS into pregnant dams. Next, we analyzed the consequences of a loss of function of DAP12, a signaling molecule specifically expressed in microglia that is crucial for several aspects of microglia biology (references in Wakselman et al., 2008). We compared the gene expression profiles of microglia from control, maternally-inflamed by LPS (MI), and Dap12-mutated embryos. We isolated RNA from FACS sorted maternally inflamed (by LPS) and Dap12-mutant microglia at E17.5 pooled per pregnant dam; as a control we included PBS treated and untreated (UT) microglia. We compared gene expression between maternally inflamed microlgia (PBSvsLPS) and DAP12-mutant microglia (UTvsDAP12KO).

Project description:Microglia are resident CNS immune cells that are active sensors in healthy brain and versatile effectors under pathological conditions. Cerebral ischemia induces a robust neuroinflammatory response that includes marked changes in the gene expression and phenotypic profile of a variety of endogenous CNS cell types (astrocytes, neurons, microglia) as well as an influx of leukocytic cells (neutrophils, macrophages, T-cells) from the periphery. Many molecules and conditions can trigger a transformation of ârestingâ (or surveying) microglia to an âactivatedâ (alerted/reactive) state. Here we review recent developments in the literature that relate to microglial activation in the experimental setting of in vitro and in vivo ischemia. We also present new data from our own laboratory demonstrating the direct effects of in vitro ischemic conditions on the microglial phenotype and genomic profile. Emphasis is placed on the role of specific molecular signaling systems such as hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) in regulating the microglial response in this setting. We then review histological and recent novel radiological data that confirms a key role for microglial activation in the setting of ischemic stroke in humans. We discuss recent progress in the pharmacological and molecular targeting of microglia in acute ischemic stroke. Finally, we explore how recent studies on ischemic preconditioning have increased interest in preemptively targeting microglial activation in order to reduce stroke severity. 12 arrays, 4 experimental groups, 3 replicates in each group, CN is control normoxia, CH is control hypoxia, TN is TLR4 knockout normoxia, TH is TLR4 knockout hypoxia.

Project description:Combining proteomics and systems biology analyses, we demonstrated that neonatal microglial cells derived from two different CNS locations (cortex and spinal cord) displayed different phenotypes upon different physiological or pathological conditions. These cells also exhibited great variability in terms of both cellular and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) protein contents and levels. Bioinformatics data analysis showed that the cortical microglia had anti-inflammatory and neurogenesis/tumorigenesis properties, while the spinal cord microglia was rather involved in inflammatory response process. Of interest, while both sEVs microglia sources enhanced growth of DRGs axons, only the spinal cord-derived sEVs microglia under LPS stimulation significantly attenuated glioma proliferation. These results were confirmed through neurite outgrowth assays in DRGs cell line and glioma proliferation analysis in 3D spheroid cultures. Results from these in vitro assays indicated that the microglia localized at different CNS regions can ensure different biological functions. Together, these works indicate that neonatal microglia locations regulate their physiological and pathological functional fates, and could explain the high prevalence of brain vs. spinal cord glioma in adults.

Project description:Cystain B (Cstb) is a ubiquitously expressed cysteine protease inhibitor and mutations of the CSTB gene lead to the neurodegenerative disease progressive myoclonus epilepsy of Unverricht-Lundorg type (EPM1). We are interested in the microglia-specific, Cstb-dependent gene-expression changes in mice and in this data set, we include gene-level expression data from cultured primary microglia of control and Cstb-/- mice extracted from neonatal mice at P5 and we identified 156 differentially-expressed genes in Cstb-/- microglia. We analyzed 8 samples in total and we compared 4 control microglia samples to 4 Cstb-/- microglia samples. Genes with a fold change > 1.3 and with p < 0.05 in T-test with BH correction were considered differentially expressed.
