Z-RNA drives Tau-mediated neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s disease [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Tau aggregates lead to progressive neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (ref). Neuron death is one of the hallmarks of neurodegeneration (ref). However, the pathological influence of neuronal death is undetermined, and the connection between Tau aggregates and neuronal death remains elusive. Here we demonstrated the essential role of neuron death in Tau-related neurodegeneration. Tau-neurons died in necroptosis, dependent on ZBP1 sensitized by Z-RNAs (an unusual left-handed conformation). Those endogenous Z-RNAs were transcripts of reactivated transposable elements (TEs) originally silenced in heterochromatin.

Non-Mutated Human Tau Stimulates Alzheimer’s Disease-Relevant Neurodegeneration in a Microglia-Dependent Manner

Project description:The accumulation of abnormal, non-mutated tau protein is a key pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite its strong association with disease progression, the mechanisms by which tau drives neurodegeneration in the intact brain remain poorly understood. Here, we selectively expressed non-mutated or mutated MAPT in neurons across the brain and observed neurodegeneration in the hippocampus, especially associated with non-mutated human tau. Single-nuclei RNA sequencing confirmed a selective loss of hippocampal excitatory neurons and revealed the upregulation of neurodegeneration-related pathways in the affected populations. The accumulation of phosphorylated tau was accompanied by cellular stress in neurons and reactive gliosis in multiple brain regions. Notably, the lifelong absence of microglia significantly and differentially influenced the extent of neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and thalamus. Therefore, our study established an AD-relevant tauopathy mouse model, elucidated both neuron-intrinsic and neuron-extrinsic responses, and highlighted a critical role for microglia in modulating tau-driven neurodegeneration.

Enhancing TREM2 expression activates microglia and modestly mitigates Tau pathology and neurodegeneration

Project description:TREM2, a microglia-specific receptor, is strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk and modulates microglial responses critical to AD pathogenesis. However, its role in tauopathy and neurodegeneration remains unclear. Here, by using a PS19 tauopathy mouse model with inducible overexpression of human wild-type TREM2 (TREM2-WT) or the R47H variant (TREM2-R47H), we show that TREM2-WT overexpression modestly reduces soluble phosphorylated tau (p-tau) levels and mildly preserves neuronal integrity, whereas TREM2-R47H fails to impact p-tau levels or neurodegeneration. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that TREM2-WT enhances disease-associated microglia (DAM) signatures, while TREM2-R47H drives the MHCII+ microglial phenotypes. These findings demonstrate that TREM2-WT confers modest benefits in tauopathy models, whereas TREM2-R47H exhibits reduced functionality. Our study underscores the therapeutic potential of enhancing TREM2 activity to modulate microglial responses and mitigate neurodegeneration in AD.

Overexpressing low-density lipoprotein receptor reduces tau-associated neurodegeneration via apoE-dependent and independent mechanisms

Project description:APOE is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. ApoE exacerbates tau-associated neurodegeneration by driving microglial activation. However, how apoE regulates microglial activation and whether targeting apoE is therapeutically beneficial in tauopathy is unclear. Here we show that overexpressing a low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) transgene in P301S tau transgenic mice markedly reduces brain apoE and ameliorates tau pathology and neurodegeneration. ApoE specifically interacts with a high-molecular-weight tau species, and highly correlates with phospho-tau and insoluble tau levels. Microglial expression of the LDLR transgene reduces intracellular apoE and is associated with less microglial activation. snRNA-seq analysis of apoE-deficient or LDLR-overexpressing brains reveals that apoE deficiency drives microglial catabolism and increases the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell population. LDLR overexpression shares overlapping mechanisms, but uniquely upregulates microglial expression of specific ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors in tauopathy. A subset of disease-associated astrocytes with both neuroprotective and neurotoxic gene signatures is also identified.

CD8 T cells are primed by cDC1 and exacerbate tau-mediated neurodegeneration

Project description:There are changes in adaptive immunity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and increases in activated CD8 T cells in brain correlate with tau pathology. However, which cells mediate T cell priming in tau-mediated neurodegeneration remains unclear. In different conditions such as cancer, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases outside the CNS, conventional type-1 dendritic cells (cDC1) perform antigen cross-presentation to prime CD8 T cells. We demonstrate that tauopathy mice deficient in cDC1 are markedly protected against tau-mediated neurodegeneration and display a selective decrease in brain CD8 T cell infiltration and glial reactivity. The remaining CD8 T cells showed an antigen inexperienced status with less clonal expansion, indicating suboptimal T cell priming. We confirm that brain derived antigens are presented in the secondary lymphoid tissues to prime CD8 T cells. Our study identifies cDC1 as critical for CD8 T cell priming outside of the CNS. This priming is required for a large increase in activated CD8 T cells in the brain which promotes tau-mediated neurodegeneration.
