Project description:We generated single-cell RNAseq profiles of 369 microglia (183 from wild type and 186 from Trem2 knock-out), sorted in the gate CD45lowCD11+ or CD45lowCD11+Gpnmb+Clec7a+ (PAM enrichment), to compare gene expression of wild type vs. Trem2 knock-out microglia on the postnatal day 7. Single cells were FACS index sorted from the whole brain followed by Smart-seq2 library preparation and Illumina Nextseq (sequence depth > 1 million per cell). A total of 334 cells passed quality control for data analysis. Microglia in the Trem2 knock-out contained a similar PAM population with characteristic gene expression, suggesting that the presence of early postnatal PAM do not depend on TREM2.

Project description:Microglia are phagocytic cells that survey the brain and perform neuroprotective functions in response to tissue damage, but their activating receptors are largely unknown. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a microglial immunoreceptor whose loss-of-function mutations in humans cause presenile dementia, while genetic variants are associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In myeloid cells, TREM2 has been involved in the regulation of phagocytosis, cell proliferation and inflammatory responses in vitro. However, it is unknown how TREM2 contributes to microglia function in vivo. Here, we identify a critical role for TREM2 in the activation and function of microglia during cuprizone (CPZ)-induced demyelination. TREM2-deficient (TREM2(-/-)) mice had defective clearance of myelin debris and more axonal pathology, resulting in impaired clinical performances compared to wild-type (WT) mice. TREM2(-/-) microglia proliferated less in areas of demyelination and were less activated, displaying a more resting morphology and decreased expression of the activation markers MHC II and inducible nitric oxide synthase as compared to WT. Mechanistically, gene expression and ultrastructural analysis of microglia suggested a defect in myelin degradation and phagosome processing during CPZ intoxication in TREM2(-/-) microglia. These findings place TREM2 as a key regulator of microglia activation in vivo in response to tissue damage. Two STAGE (6weeks 12 weeks),

Project description:Genetic findings have highlighted key roles for microglia in the pathology of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A number of mutations in the microglial protein TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) have been associated with increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), most notably the R47H/+ substitution. We employed gene editing and stem cell models to gain insight into the effects of the TREM2 R47H/+ mutation on human iPSC-derived microglia. We found transcriptional changes affecting numerous cellular processes, with R47H/+ cells exhibiting a pro-inflammatory gene expression signature. TREM2 R47H/+ also caused impairments in microglial movement and the uptake of multiple substrates, as well as rendering microglia hyper-responsive to inflammatory stimuli. We developed an in vitro laser-induced injury model in neuron-microglia co-cultures, finding an impaired injury response by TREM2 R47H/+ microglia. Furthermore, mouse brains transplanted with TREM2 R47H/+ microglia exhibited reduced synaptic density, with upregulation of multiple complement cascade components in TREM2 R47H/+ microglia suggesting inappropriate synaptic pruning as one potential mechanism. These findings identify a number of potentially detrimental effects of the TREM2 R47H/+ mutation on microglial gene expression and function likely to underlie its association with AD.

Project description:We generated single-cell RNAseq profiles of 143 microglia, sorted in the gate CD45lowCD11+Gpnmb+Clec7a+, from postnatal day 7 cerebellum to validate the newly identified “proliferative region-associated microglia (PAM)” (Gpnmb and Clec7a are PAM surface markers). Single cells were FACS index sorted followed by Smart-seq2 library preparation and Illumina Nextseq (sequence depth > 1 million per cell). These cells showed characteristic PAM gene expression and clustered together with other PAM cells sequenced in the same study.

Project description:Loss-of-function variants of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The mechanism through which TREM2 contributes to the disease (TREM2 activation vs inactivation) is largely unknown. Here, we analyzed changes in a gene set downstream of TREM2 to determine whether TREM2 signaling is modified by AD progression. We generated an anti-human TREM2 agonistic antibody and defined TREM2 activation in terms of the downstream expression changes induced by this antibody in microglia developed from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following TREM2 activation were compared with the gene set extracted from microglial single nuclear RNA sequencing data of patients with AD, using gene set enrichment analysis. We isolated an anti-TREM2-specific agonistic antibody, Hyb87, from anti-human TREM2 antibodies generated using binding and agonism assays, which helped us identify 300 upregulated and 251 downregulated DEGs. Pathway enrichment analysis suggested that TREM2 activation may be associated with Th2-related pathways. TREM2 activation was lower in AD microglia than in microglia from healthy subjects or patients with mild cognitive impairment. TREM2 activation also showed a significant negative correlation with disease progression. Pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs controlled by TREM2 activity indicated that TREM2 activation in AD may lead to anti-apoptotic signaling, immune response, and cytoskeletal changes in the microglia. We showed that TREM2 activation decreases with AD progression, in support of a protective role of TREM2 activation in AD. In addition, the agonistic anti-TREM2 antibody can be used to identify TREM2 activation state in AD microglia.

Project description:We investigated the role of Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in myelin regeneration in the brain. TREM2 is a receptor found on microglia, which are crucial for clearing myelin debris and promoting remyelination. Previous studies in a mouse model of demyelination induced by the copper-chelating agent Cuprizone (CPZ) have shown that stimulation of TREM2 with a monoclonal antibody reduces demyelination, while deleting the Trem2 gene in mice impairs remyelination. Here we blocked TREM2 function acutely with an antibody during both the demyelination and remyelination phases and analyzed the impact of the antibody on myelination and gene expression in single cells. We found that blocking TREM2 depleted a specific population of microglia characterized by high expression of the transcription factor MAFB during remyelination. These MAFB-high microglia were crucial for myelin repair, and their depletion led to impairment of myelinating oligodendrocytes. Importantly, we identified MAFB+ microglia in acute and acute-chronic brain lesions from individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), but not in inactive lesions. We conclude that TREM2 is essential for maintaining a population of MAFB-high microglia that are critical for myelin repair. This finding has important implications for understanding demyelinating diseases like MS and suggests that stimulating TREM2 could be a potential therapeutic strategy.

Project description:We identified enrichment of a disease-enhancing, proinflammatory subpopulation of microglia in human AD patient brains with the R47H-TREM2 mutation, and uncovered that enhanced Akt signaling in microglia underlies the proinflammatory cytokine state and synaptic toxicity in our R47H-TREM2 tauopathy mouse model.
