Project description:Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the brain, apoE is predominantly expressed and secreted by astrocytes, but is dramatically up-regulated in microglia under AD-associated conditions. Although the function of astrocytic apoE has been widely investigated, whether and how apoE particles derived from different types of glia differ in biological features and function remains elusive. Here, we show that apoE particles derived from astrocytes and microglia exhibit dissimilar sizes. Microglial apoE particles impaired neurite growth and synapses and promoted neuronal senescence, whereas GPNMB-deficient microglial apoE particles abolished these detrimental effects. These findings provide direct evidence supporting that microglia-derived apoE particles contribute to neuronal senescence and toxicity.

Project description:Objective: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified a variant rs7575840 in the apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene region to be associated with LDL-C. However, the underlying functional mechanism of this variant that resides 6.5 kb upstream of APOB has remained unknown. Our objective was to investigate rs7575840 for association with refined apoB containing lipid particles; for replication in a non-Caucasian Mexican population; and for underlying functional mechanism. Methods and Results Our data show that rs7575840 is associated with serum apoB levels (P=4.85x10-10) and apoB containing lipid particles, very small VLDL, IDL and LDL particles (P=2x10-5 - 9x10-7) in the Finnish METSIM study sample (n=7,710). Fine mapping of the APOB region using 43 SNPs replicated the association of rs7575840 with apoB in a Mexican study sample (n=2,666, P=3.33x10-05). Furthermore, our transcript analyses of adipose RNA samples from 175 Finnish METSIM subjects indicate that rs7575840 alters expression of APOB (P=1.13x10-10) and a regional non-coding RNA (BU630349) (P=7.86x10-6) in adipose tissue. Conclusions It has been difficult to convert GWAS associations into mechanistic insights. Our data show that rs7575840 is associated with serum apoB levels and apoB containing lipid particles as well as influences expression of APOB and a regional transcript BU630349 in adipose tissue. We thus provide evidence how a common genome-wide significant SNP rs7575840 may affect serum apoB, LDL-C, and TC levels. 175 samples, no replicates

Project description:The strongest risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include the 4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE), the R47H variant of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), and female sex. Here, we combine APOE4 and TREM2R47H (R47H) in female P301S tauopathy mice to identify the pathways activated when AD risk is the strongest, thereby highlighting detrimental disease mechanisms. We find that the R47H variant induces neurodegeneration in 9- to- 10-month-old female APOE4 tauopathy mice. The combination of APOE4 and R47H (APOE4-R47H) worsened hyperphosphorylated tau pathology in the frontal cortex and amplified tauopathy-induced cell-autonomous microglial cGAS-STING signaling and downstream interferon response. APOE4-R47H microglia displayed cGAS- and BAX-dependent upregulation of senescence, showing association between neurotoxic signatures and implicating mitochondrial permeabilization in pathogenesis. By uncovering pathways enhanced by the strongest AD risk factors, our study points to cGAS-STING signaling and associated microglial senescence as potential drivers of AD risk.

Here, we combine APOE4 and TREM2R47H (R47H) in female P301S tauopathy mice to identify the pathways activated when AD risk is the strongest, thereby highlighting disease-causing mechanisms. We find that the R47H variant induces neurodegeneration in female APOE4 mice without impacting hippocampal tau load. The combination of APOE4 and R47H amplified tauopathy-induced cell-autonomous microglial cGAS-STING signaling and type-I interferon response, and interferon signaling converged across glial cell types in the hippocampus. APOE4-R47H microglia displayed cGAS- and BAX-dependent upregulation of senescence, showing association between neurotoxic signatures and implicating mitochondrial permeabilization in pathogenesis. By uncovering pathways enhanced by the strongest AD risk factors, our study points to cGAS-STING signaling and associated microglial senescence as potential drivers of AD risk.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell-cycle arrest caused by various cellular stressors. Accumulating evidence indicates that cellular senescence is one of the key factors causing age-related tissue dysfunction in various organs. However, the features of cells that undergo cellular senescence and their significance in neural impairment are still unclear in the central nervous system. We showed that microglia, particularly in the white matter, undergo cellular senescence in the brain and spinal cord during ageing and in disease models involving demyelination through comprehensive investigations utilizing single-cell transcriptome analysis and various mouse models. Microglial senescence is predominantly detected in disease-associated microglia (DAM), which emerge with ageing and in neurodegenerative diseases. Knockouts of the p16INK4a gene, a key inducer of cellular senescence, ameliorated the neuroinflammatory phenotype in damaged spinal cords in mice. Finally, we showed that commensal bacteria promote the accumulation of senescent microglia and DAM associated with ageing. These results advanced our understanding of cellular senescence’s role in the central nervous system and opened new strategies for treating age-related neural disorders.
