Project description:Inflammation after injury of the central nervous system (CNS) is increasingly viewed as a therapeutic target. However, comparative studies in different CNS compartments are sparse. To date only few studies based on immunohistochemical data and all referring to mechanical injury have directly compared inflammation in different CNS compartments. These studies revealed that inflammation is more pronounced in spinal cord than in brain. Therefore, it is unclear whether concepts and treatments established in the cerebral cortex can be transferred to spinal cord lesions and vice versa or whether immunological treatments must be adapted to different CNS compartments. By use of transcriptomic and flow cytometry analysis of equally sized photothrombotically induced lesions in the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord, we could document an overall comparable inflammatory reaction and repair activity in brain and spinal cord between day 1 and day 7 after ischemia. However, remyelination was increased after cerebral versus spinal cord ischemia which is in line with increased remyelination in grey matter in previous analyses and was accompanied by microglia dominated inflammation opposed to monocytes/macrophages dominated inflammation after spinal cord ischemia. Interestingly remyelination could be reduced by microglia and not hematogenous macrophage depletion. Our results show that despite different cellular composition of the postischemic infiltrate the inflammatory response in cerebral cortex and spinal cord are comparable between day 1 and day 7. A striking difference was higher remyelination capacity in the cerebral cortex, which seems to be supported by microglia dominance.

Project description:Microglia are considered both pathogenic and protective during recovery from demyelination, but their precise role remains ill-defined. Here, using an inhibitor of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), PLX5622, and mice infected with a neurotropic coronavirus (mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHMV), we show that depletion of microglia after clearance of virus infection resulted in impaired myelin repair and prolonged clinical disease. Microglia were required only during the early stages of remyelination. Notably, large deposits of extracellular vesiculated myelin and cellular debris were detected in the spinal cords of PLX5622-treated and not control mice, which correlated with decreased numbers of oligodendrocytes in demyelinating lesions in drug-treated mice. Further, gene expression analyses demonstrated differential expression of genes involved in myelin debris clearance, lipid and cholesterol recycling, and promotion of oligodendrocyte function. The results also demonstrate that microglial function could not be compensated by infiltrating macrophages. Together, these results demonstrate key roles for microglia in debris clearance and the initiation of remyelination following infection with a neurotropic coronavirus but are not necessary during later stages of remyelination.

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are important regulators of normal brain activities. In CNS demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), the functions of these cells are of particular interest. Based on the observation of diminished Dicer positive microglia/macrophages number in demyelinating white matter lesions (WMLs) of human MS brains, here we probed the impact of impaired microRNA (miRNA)-mediated post-transcriptional gene regulation in a mouse model lacking microglia/macrophage-specific Dicer1 expression during demyelination and remyelination. Conditional Dicer1 ablation and loss of miRNAs expression in adult microglia led to extensive demyelination and impaired myelin processing. Interestingly, demyelination was accompanied by increased apoptosis of mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) and arresting oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the precursor stage. At the transcriptional level, Dicer1-deficient microglia led to downregulation of microglial homeostatic genes, increased cell proliferation, and a shift towards a disease-associated phenotype. Loss of remyelination efficiency in these mice was accompanied by stalling of OPCs in the precursor stage. Collectively, finding from this study highlight a new role of microglial miRNAs in promoting a pro-regenerative phenotype in addition to promoting OPC maturation and differentiation during demyelination and remyelination.

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:Demyelination is a hallmark of multiple sclerosis, leukoencephalopathies, cerebral vasculopathies and several neurodegenerative diseases. The cuprizone mouse model is widely used to simulate demyelination occurring in these diseases. Here, we present a high-resolution snRNA-seq analysis of gene expression changes across all brain cells in this model. We define signatures of prototypic responses to demyelination and remyelination for each cell type, including anti-stress, anti-oxidant-, metabolic-, hypoxia-, IFN-, and IL-33-driven responses, and validate them at the protein level and in IL-33R-deficient mice. We identify related transcription regulators underpinning these pathways, including STAT3, NF-κB, OLIG1 and MAFB. Furthermore, snRNA- seq data provide novel insights into how various brain cell types connect and interact, defining complex circuitries previously unknown to impact demyelination and remyelination. As an explicative example, perturbation of microglia caused by TREM2 deficiency impacts the oligodendrocyte responses to demyelination. Altogether, this study provides a rich resource for future studies investigating mechanisms underlying demyelination and remyelination.
