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.

TREM2-independent microgliosis promotes tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the presence of ApoE4

Project description:In addition to tau and Aβ pathologies, inflammation plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Variants in APOE and TREM2 increase AD risk. ApoE4 exacerbates tau-linked neurodegeneration and inflammation in P301S tau mice and removal of microglia blocks tau-dependent neurodegeneration. Microglia adopt a heterogeneous population of transcriptomic states in response to pathology, at least some of which are dependent on TREM2. Previously, we reported that knockout (KO) of TREM2 attenuated neurodegeneration in P301S mice that express mouse Apoe. Because of the possible common pathway of ApoE and TREM2 in AD, we tested whether TREM2 KO (T2KO) would block neurodegeneration in P301S Tau mice expressing ApoE4 (TE4), similar to that observed with microglial depletion. Surprisingly, we observed exacerbated neurodegeneration and tau pathology in TE4-T2KO versus TE4 mice, despite decreased TREM2-dependent microgliosis. Our results suggest that tau pathology-dependent microgliosis, that is, TREM2-independent microgliosis, facilitates tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the presence of ApoE4.

TREM2 haploinsufficiency impairs microglia’s response to injury and exacerbates tau pathology in a tauopathy mouse model [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates, as well as microgliosis. The link between mutations in Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2), a microglia-expressed gene, and the increased risk for developing late-onset AD suggests a detrimental role for microglia in disease pathophyioslogy. Hemizygous TREM2 mutations are posited to increase risk for AD through loss-of-function haploinsufficiency. The effects of TREM2 haploinsufficiency on tau pathology and tau-associated deficits have not yet been characterized. Using in vivo imaging, we showed that TREM2 haploinsufficiency, but not complete loss of TREM2, resulted in a striking agedependent impairment in microglia’s response to injury without affecting baseline motility. This TREM2-dependent effect on microglial motility is consistent with transcriptomic alterations in cell motility uncovered with unbiased RNAsequencing analysis. Moreover, TREM2 haploinsufficiency, but not complete loss of TREM2, exacerbated phosphorylated tau pathology in transgenic mice expressing mutant human tau. In addition, TREM2 haploinsufficiency increased tau inclusions and tau-mediated inflammation without further exacerbating neuronal loss. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that TREM2 haploinsufficiency induces deficits in a tauopathy mouse model, supporting the notion that the hemizygous missense variant results in loss-of-function.

TREM2 interacts with TDP-43 and mediates microglial neuroprotection against TDP-43-related neurodegeneration

Project description:Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) is linked to neurodegenerative disease risk. However, the function of TREM in neurodegeneration is still unclear. Here we investigated the role of microglial TREM2 in TAR-DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43)-related neurodegeneration using viral-mediated and transgenic mouse models. We found that TREM2 deficiency impaired phagocytic clearance of pathological TDP-43 by microglia, and enhanced neuronal damage and motor impairments. Mass cytometry analysis revealed that hTDP-43 induced a TREM2-dependent subpopulation of microglia with high CD11c expression and phagocytic ability. Using mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonance analysis, we further demonstrated an interaction between TDP-43 and TREM2 in vitro and in vivo as well as in ALS patient tissues. We computationally identified the region within hTDP-43 that interacts with TREM2. Our data highlights that TDP-43 is a possible ligand for microglial TREM2 and that this interaction mediates neuroprotection effects of microglia in TDP-43-related neurodegeneration.

Z-RNA drives Tau-mediated neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s disease [lncRNA-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.

The APOE-R136S mutation protects against APOE4-driven Tau pathology, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation

Project description:Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), leading to earlier age of clinical onset and exacerbating pathologies. There is a critical need to identify protective targets. Recently, a rare APOE variant, APOE3-R136S (Christchurch), was found to protect against early-onset AD in a PSEN1-E280A carrier. We sought to determine if the R136S mutation also protects against APOE4-driven effects in LOAD. We generated tauopathy mouse and human iPSC-derived neuron models carrying human APOE4 with the homozygous or heterozygous R136S mutation. We found that the homozygous R136S mutation rescued APOE4-driven Tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation. The heterozygous R136S mutation partially protected against APOE4-driven neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, but not Tau pathology. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing revealed that the APOE4-R136S mutation increased disease-protective and diminished disease-associated cell populations in a gene dose-dependent manner. Thus, the APOE-R136S mutation protects against APOE4-driven AD pathologies, providing a target for therapeutic development against AD.

TREM2 shapes myeloid cell activations in trauma- and autoimmune-mediated neurodegeneration

Project description:TREM2 signaling in myeloid cells functions as a major pathology-induced immune signaling hub in trauma- and autoimmune-mediated neurodegeneration. Here we compared the influence of TREM2 signaling on single-cell transcriptional profiles of mouse myeloid populations during the pathologies of spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS) models.
