SummaryMicroglia are brain resident phagocytes that can engulf synaptic components and extracellular matrix as well as whole neurons. However, whether there are unique molecular mechanisms that regulate these distinct phagocytic states is unknown. Here we define a molecularly distinct microglial subset whose function is to engulf neurons in the developing brain. We transcriptomically identified a cluster of Type I interferon (IFN-I) responsive microglia that expanded 20-fold in the postnatal day 5 somatosensory cortex after partial whisker deprivation, a stressor that accelerates neural circuit remodeling.In situ, IFN-I responsive microglia were highly phagocytic and actively engulfed whole neurons. Conditional deletion of IFN-I signaling (Ifnar1fl/fl) in microglia but not neurons resulted in dysmorphic microglia with stalled phagocytosis and an accumulation of neurons with double strand DNA breaks, a marker of cell stress. Conversely, exogenous IFN-I was sufficient to drive neuronal engulfment by microglia and restrict the accumulation of damaged neurons. IFN-I deficient mice had excess excitatory neurons in the developing somatosensory cortex as well as tactile hypersensitivity to whisker stimulation. These data define a molecular mechanism through which microglia engulf neurons during a critical window of brain development. More broadly, they reveal key homeostatic roles of a canonical antiviral signaling pathway in brain development.

#paper doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08133-1 2024年10月30日,深圳先进技术研究院胡政团队在Nature发表题为Polyclonal-to-monoclonal transition in colorectal precancerous evolution的研究论文,首次揭示了肿瘤从多克隆到单克隆转变的早期演化新模式,系统阐明了这一过程中细胞间的相互作用机制。通过谱系示踪技术和单细胞转录组测序,研究团队在小鼠模型和人类癌前病变组织中观察到,早期肿瘤病变往往具有多个独立的细胞克隆来源,这些克隆在肿瘤发生的早期阶段通过细胞间的通讯和合作共同推动病变进展。随着肿瘤的发展,这些多克隆逐渐被一个优势克隆所替代,转变为单克隆肿瘤。这说明单克隆肿瘤比多克隆肿瘤具有更高的恶性程度,单克隆肿瘤可能代表肿瘤发生的更“晚期”阶段。这些发现为理解肿瘤起源提供了全新的概念框架,并提出通过靶向细胞间通讯来实现早期干预的肿瘤预防新策略。

#paper doi: 10.1002/mds.29430 Application value of serum neurofilament light protein for disease staging in Huntington's disease. 该研究收集了大规模HTT突变携带者生物样本,纳入了症前个体和疾病早中晚期的HD患者以及大片段CAG重复片段携带者,详细阐述了血清神经丝轻链(sNfL)在HD疾病发展过程中的变化轨迹,并利用7.0T磁共振和统一亨廷顿评定量表探究了sNfL与疾病严重程度的关系。结果表明,虽然sNfL浓度在HD发病阶段趋于稳定,但sNfL可精准预测HD发病年龄。此外,sNfL的浓度与认知下降及大脑萎缩呈负相关,且受到年龄和三联核苷酸CAG复制频次的影响。

AbstractBackgroundNeurofilament light protein (NfL) has been proven to be a sensitive biomarker for Huntington's disease (HD). However, these studies did not include HD patients at advanced stages or with larger CAG repeats (>50), leading to a knowledge gap of the characteristics of NfL.MethodsSerum NfL (sNfL) levels were quantified using an ultrasensitive immunoassay. Participants were assessed by clinical scales and 7.0 T magnetic resonance imaging. Longitudinal samples and clinical data were obtained.ResultsBaseline samples were available from 110 controls, 90 premanifest HD (pre‐HD) and 137 HD individuals. We found levels of sNfL significantly increased in HD compared to pre‐HD and controls (both P < 0.0001). The increase rates of sNfL were differed by CAG repeat lengths. However, there was no difference in sNfL levels in manifest HD from early to late stages. In addition, sNfL levels were associated with cognitive measures in pre‐HD and manifest HD group, respectively. The increased levels of sNfL were also closely related to microstructural changes in white matter. In the longitudinal analysis, baseline sNfL did not correlate with subsequent clinical function decline. Random forest analysis revealed that sNfL had good power for predicting disease onset.ConclusionsAlthough sNfL levels are independent of disease stages in manifest HD, it is still an optimal indicator for predicting disease onset and has potential use as a surrogate biomarker of treatment effect in clinical trials. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Several genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease implicate genes involved in lipid metabolism and many of these lipid genes are highly expressed in glial cells. However, the relationship between lipid metabolism in glia and Alzheimer's disease pathology remains poorly understood. Through single-nucleus RNA sequencing of brain tissue in Alzheimer's disease, we have identified a microglial state defined by the expression of the lipid droplet-associated enzyme ACSL1 with ACSL1-positive microglia being most abundant in patients with Alzheimer's disease having the APOE4/4 genotype. In human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia, fibrillar Aβ induces ACSL1 expression, triglyceride synthesis and lipid droplet accumulation in an APOE-dependent manner. Additionally, conditioned media from lipid droplet-containing microglia lead to Tau phosphorylation and neurotoxicity in an APOE-dependent manner. Our findings suggest a link between genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease with microglial lipid droplet accumulation and neurotoxic microglia-derived factors, potentially providing therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an inherited disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA). Lentivirus-modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy (HSCGT) has recently been approved for clinical use in pre- and early-symptomatic children with MLD to increase ARSA activity. Unfortunately, this advanced therapy is not available for most patients with MLD who have progressed to more advanced symptomatic stages at diagnosis. Patients with late-onset juvenile MLD typically present with a slower neurological progression of symptoms and represent a significant burden to the economy and healthcare system, whereas those with early-onset infantile MLD die within a few years of symptom onset. We conducted a pilot study to determine the safety and benefit of HSCGT in patients with post-symptomatic juvenile MLD and report preliminary results. The safety profile of HSCGT was favorable in this long-term follow-up over nine years. The most common adverse events (AEs) within two months of HSCGT were related to busulfan conditioning, and all AEs resolved. No HSCGT-related AEs and no evidence of distorted hematopoietic differentiation during long-term follow-up for up to 9.6 years. Importantly, to date, patients have maintained remarkably improved ARSA activity with a stable disease state, including increased Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score and decreased magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion score. This long-term follow-up pilot study suggests that HSCGT is safe and provides clinical benefit to patients with post-symptomatic juvenile MLD.

#paper doi:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-021-00830-w Robust decomposition of cell type mixtures in spatial transcriptomics
空间转录组学技术的局限在于,每个spot的测序数值可能来自于不同细胞的贡献,这样不利于细胞特异性和空间表达模式特异性的挖掘。本篇文章的作者开发了一个稳定性比较高的软件:RCTD,它利用从单细胞数据中细胞特异性谱图的表达水平,预测每个spot中细胞类型,并计算出每种细胞的权重。RCTD计算了小鼠Slide-seq跟visium数据集中准确的再现了已知的细胞类型和亚型细胞定位模式。不过这个方法结果的可靠程度依赖于注释好的单细胞数据集的质量,因此选择质量好的单细胞数据集,或者细胞注释准确度高的与空间数据匹配好的单细胞数据集是非常重要的。选择RCTD对空间数据spot的细胞类型的空间成分,揭示生物组织中细胞组织的新原理。

A limitation of spatial transcriptomics technologies is that individual measurements may contain contributions from multiple cells, hindering the discovery of cell-type-specific spatial patterns of localization and expression. Here, we develop robust cell type decomposition (RCTD), a computational method that leverages cell type profiles learned from single-cell RNA-seq to decompose cell type mixtures while correcting for differences across sequencing technologies. We demonstrate the ability of RCTD to detect mixtures and identify cell types on simulated datasets. Furthermore, RCTD accurately reproduces known cell type and subtype localization patterns in Slide-seq and Visium datasets of the mouse brain. Finally, we show how RCTD's recovery of cell type localization enables the discovery of genes within a cell type whose expression depends on spatial environment. Spatial mapping of cell types with RCTD enables the spatial components of cellular identity to be defined, uncovering new principles of cellular organization in biological tissue. RCTD is publicly available as an open-source R package at https://github.com/dmcable/RCTD .

The isocortex and hippocampal formation (HPF) in the mammalian brain play critical roles in perception, cognition, emotion, and learning. We profiled ∼1.3 million cells covering the entire adult mouse isocortex and HPF and derived a transcriptomic cell-type taxonomy revealing a comprehensive repertoire of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuron types. Contrary to the traditional view of HPF as having a simpler cellular organization, we discover a complete set of glutamatergic types in HPF homologous to all major subclasses found in the six-layered isocortex, suggesting that HPF and the isocortex share a common circuit organization. We also identify large-scale continuous and graded variations of cell types along isocortical depth, across the isocortical sheet, and in multiple dimensions in hippocampus and subiculum. Overall, our study establishes a molecular architecture of the mammalian isocortex and hippocampal formation and begins to shed light on its underlying relationship with the development, evolution, connectivity, and function of these two brain structures.

目前我们已经发现数千种长链非编码RNA(lncRNA),但是明确功能的只有十几种。德克萨斯西南医学研究中心Mendell教授发现lncRNA-NORAD可以在维持基因组稳定性上非常重要。此外,还报道了PUMILIO是NORAD唯一相互作用的RNA结合蛋白,但是相关的作用机制我们并不清楚。最近 哈弗-麻省理工学院lander教授提出了NORAD和RNA结合蛋白PUMILIO的相互作用,对NORAD功能发挥具有重要作用。NORAD和PUMILIO结合后,NORAD调节PUMILIO组装拓补异构酶复合物的能力,该复合物在维持基因组稳定性具有重要作用。实验证明细胞在PUMILIO敲除后的表型,与PUMILIO敲除表型密切相关,都表现为染色质分离增加,复制叉速度降低和细胞周期改变。在PUMILIO正常表达的细胞,补充NORAD,可以补救NORAD缺失引起的基因组不稳定,但是在NORAD的作用位点缺失以后,挽救效果就很差。这说明NORAD是通过特定位点与PUMILIO相互作用,促进拓补异构酶复合物组装并参与维持基因组稳定性。但是对于NORAD与PUMILIO的相互作用如何促进拓补异构酶复合物组装的,lander教授提出了多个可能的机制,这些机制还有待进一步实验验证。

The human genome contains thousands of long non-coding RNAs, but specific biological functions and biochemical mechanisms have been discovered for only about a dozen. A specific long non-coding RNA-non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD)-has recently been shown to be required for maintaining genomic stability, but its molecular mechanism is unknown. Here we combine RNA antisense purification and quantitative mass spectrometry to identify proteins that directly interact with NORAD in living cells. We show that NORAD interacts with proteins involved in DNA replication and repair in steady-state cells and localizes to the nucleus upon stimulation with replication stress or DNA damage. In particular, NORAD interacts with RBMX, a component of the DNA-damage response, and contains the strongest RBMX-binding site in the transcriptome. We demonstrate that NORAD controls the ability of RBMX to assemble a ribonucleoprotein complex-which we term NORAD-activated ribonucleoprotein complex 1 (NARC1)-that contains the known suppressors of genomic instability topoisomerase I (TOP1), ALYREF and the PRPF19-CDC5L complex. Cells depleted for NORAD or RBMX display an increased frequency of chromosome segregation defects, reduced replication-fork velocity and altered cell-cycle progression-which represent phenotypes that are mechanistically linked to TOP1 and PRPF19-CDC5L function. Expression of NORAD in trans can rescue defects caused by NORAD depletion, but rescue is significantly impaired when the RBMX-binding site in NORAD is deleted. Our results demonstrate that the interaction between NORAD and RBMX is important for NORAD function, and that NORAD is required for the assembly of the previously unknown topoisomerase complex NARC1, which contributes to maintaining genomic stability. In addition, we uncover a previously unknown function for long non-coding RNAs in modulating the ability of an RNA-binding protein to assemble a higher-order ribonucleoprotein complex.
