Spatial transcriptomics of the aging mouse brain reveals origins of inflammation in the white matter

Project description:To systematically understand age-induced molecular changes, we performed spatial transcriptomics of young, middle-aged, and old mouse brains and identified seven transcriptionally distinct regions. All regions exhibited age-associated upregulation of inflammatory mRNAs and downregulation of mRNAs related to synaptic function. Notably, aging white matter fiber tracts showed the most prominent changes with pronounced effects in females. The inflammatory signatures indicated major ongoing events: microglia activation, astrogliosis, complement activation, and myeloid cell infiltration. Immunofluorescence and quantitative MRI analyses confirmed physical interaction of activated microglia with fiber tracts and concomitant reduction of myelin in old mice. In silico analyses identified potential transcription factors influencing these changes. Our study provides a resourceful dataset of spatially resolved transcriptomic features in the naturally aging murine brain encompassing three age groups and both sexes. The results link previous disjointed findings and provide a comprehensive overview of brain aging identifying fiber tracts as a focal point of inflammation.

White matter aging drives microglial diversity

Project description:Aging results in both grey and white matter degeneration, but the specific microglial responses are unknown. Using single-cell RNA sequencing from white and grey matter separately, we identified white matter associated microglia (WAM), which share parts of the disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and are characterized by the activation of genes implicated in phagocytic activity and lipid metabolism. WAM depend on triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) signaling and are aging dependent. In the aged brain, WAM form independently of apolipoprotein E (APOE), which is in contrast to mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, in which microglia with WAM gene signature are generated prematurely and in an APOE-dependent pathway similar to DAM. Within the white matter, microglia frequently cluster in nodules, where they are engaged in clearing degenerated myelin. Thus, WAM may represent a potentially protective response required to clear degenerated myelin accumulating during white matter aging and disease.

CD8+ T cells induce interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes during white matter aging

Project description:A hallmark of nervous system aging is a decline of white matter volume and function, but the underlying mechanisms leading to white matter pathology are unknown. Here, we found age-related alterations of oligodendrocytes with a reduction of total oligodendrocyte density in the aging murine white matter. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identify interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes, which localize in proximity of CD8+ T cells in the aging white matter. Absence of functional lymphocytes decreased oligodendrocyte reactivity and rescued oligodendrocyte loss, while T-cell checkpoint inhibition worsened the aging effect. In addition, we identified a subpopulation of immune cell dependent interferon-responsive microglia in the aging white matter, and co-culture experiments revealed that interferon- activated microglia triggered oligodendrocytes cell death. In summary, we provide evidence that T cells induced interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes and microglia are important modifiers of white matter aging.

Microglia activation orchestrates CXCL10-mediated CD8+ T cell recruitment to promote aging-related white matter degeneration

Project description:Aging is the major risk factor for neurodegeneration and associated with structural and functional alterations in white matter. Myelin is particularly vulnerable to aging resulting in white matter-associated microglia activation. In this study, we employed pharmacological and genetic approaches to investigate microglial functions related to aging-associated changes in myelinated axons of mice. Our results reveal that maladaptive microglia activation promotes the accumulation of CD8+ T cells, leading to degeneration of myelinated axons and subsequent impairment of brain function and behavior. We characterize glial heterogeneity and aging-related changes in white matter by single-cell and spatial transcriptomics and reveal elaborate glial-immune interactions. Mechanistically, we show that the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis is crucial for the recruitment and retention of CD8+ T cells in aged white matter, where they exert pathogenic effects. Our results indicate that myelin-related microglia dysfunction promotes adaptive immune reactions in aging and identify putative targets to mitigate their detrimental impact.
