Abstract

Beta-amyloid deposition is a defining feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). How genetic risk factors, like APOE and TREM2, intersect with cellular responses to beta-amyloid in human tissues is not fully understood. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing of postmortem human brain with varied APOE and TREM2 genotypes and neuropathology, we identified distinct microglia subpopulations, including a subpopulation of CD163-positive amyloid-responsive microglia (ARM) that are depleted in cases with APOE and TREM2 risk variants. We validated our single-nucleus RNA sequencing findings in an expanded cohort of AD cases, demonstrating that APOE and TREM2 risk variants are associated with a significant reduction in CD163-positive amyloid-responsive microglia. Our results showcase the diverse microglial response in AD and underscore how genetic risk factors influence cellular responses to underlying pathologies.

Statistics

Fig. 1 (a) Schematic of the analysis pipeline. (b) The left figure is a t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) projection of all cells (n=122,606 from 15 brains) after quality control filtering (Table S2 and S3): Microglia(Mic); Excitatory neuron(Ex); Inhibitory neuron(In); Astrocytes(Ast); Oligodendroctyes (Oli); Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (Opc); Endothelial (End). The right figure is a t-SNE plot colored by 15 samples. (c) Expression feature plots of known cell type-specific marker genes. (d) The proportions of neurons (excitatory and inhibitory neurons), astrocytes, and microglia across cases without or with AD neurofibrillary degenerationCC BY · PubMed Central

Fig. 2 Microglia subclusters are unique by pathologic characterization, differentially expressed genes, genotype, or co-expression network analysis. (a) t-SNE projections of microglia subpopulations additionally colored by cell type, AT score, TREM2 R47H genotype, and APOE genotype. (b) Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between subpopulations: motile vs homeostatic, ARM vs homeostatic, and dystrophic vs homeostatic. The genes in red are upregulated and those in blue are downregulated. Gene markers of interest per subcluster are highlighted with boxes. (c) Co-expression modules for each microglia subtype depicting gene-gene co-expression networks, colored by the strength of the gene-gene connection ranging from none (white) to strong (red). Intervening Sankey plots depict the flow of gene clusters from one subtype to the next, wherein the width demonstrates the magnitude of flow. Only major flows with more than 12 genes are plotted. (d) Bar plots of the differing microglia subpopulations (homeostatic, dystrophic, motile and ARM) in TREM2 WT cases with varying amyloid and tau pathology (AT scores A−T−, A+T−, and A+T+; n=2, 4, and 5 respectively; Fisher’s exact test performed for each pair-wise comparison) or (e) separated by APOE alleles, matched for pathology (n=2 for E3/E3 and n=6 for E3/E4; Fisher’s exact test performed for ARM proportion calculation). (f) Cell type proportions in TREM2 R47H variant cases only, subdivided by pathologic classification (Fisher’s exact test performed for ARM proportion calculation compared to TREM2 WT A+T+ cases). Note that only one case with the TREM2 R47H variant and an A+T− score was available.CC BY · PubMed Central

Fig.4. CD163+ ARM are associated with amyloid plaques and show decreased expression with TREM2 R47H and APOE E4 allele. (a) Pan-microglial marker Iba1 stains microglia with a small cell body and highly ramified, branched processes in an adult brain without amyloid or tau pathology, and (b) homeostatic marker CX3CR1 highlights similar features in microglia, although astrocytes were also stained. In AD brains, (c) motile marker FGD4 highlights microglia with bipolar processes and hypertrophic cell bodies, (d) ARM marker CD163 shows clustered, amoeboid microglia, and (e) FTL highlights dystrophic microglia with hypertrophic cell bodies and beaded processes. (f) Iba1 staining shows clustered, amoeboid microglia and intervening evenly-dispersed microglia in neocortex of AD brain, while (g) CD163 highlights only clustered microglia. (h) CD163+ ARM (brown) co-localize with beta-amyloid plaques (pink) in AD brain. (i) CD163:amyloid ratios are decreased in cases with the TREM2 R47H variant and APOE E4 allele. (j) Multiple linear regression model shows a significantly decreased CD163:amyloid ratio in (k) TREM2 WT cases with the APOE E4 allele versus E3/E3. When matched for APOE allele, cases with the TREM2 R47H variant showed a consistently decreased ARM:amyloid ratio in (l) APOE E3/E3 cases and (m) APOE E3/E4 cases. ***p < 0.001.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
