CSF‐1 Controls Cerebellar Microglia and Is Required for Motor Function and Social Interaction
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Microglia, the brain resident macrophages, critically shape forebrain neuronal circuits. However, their precise function in the cerebellum is unknown. Here we show that human and mouse cerebellar microglia express a unique molecular program distinct from forebrain microglia. Cerebellar microglial identity was driven by the CSF-1R ligand CSF-1, independently of the alternate CSF-1R ligand, IL-34. Accordingly, CSF-1 depletion from Nestin+ cells led to severe depletion and transcriptional alterations of cerebellar microglia, while microglia in the forebrain remained intact. Strikingly, CSF-1 deficiency and alteration of cerebellar microglia were associated with reduced Purkinje cells, altered neuronal function, and defects in motor learning and social novelty interactions. These findings reveal a novel CSF-1–CSF-1R signaling-mediated mechanism that contributes to motor function and social behavior.

Irf8, Csf1, and Csf1r are critical for microglial survival and proliferation.
“It functions both intrinsically and through the regulation of its target genes Irf8, colony stimulating Factor 1 (Csf1), and Csf1 receptor (Csf1r) [32], which are themselves known to be critical for microglial survival and proliferation [33, 34, 35].”

The Results (page unavailable) report that cerebellar microglia depend on CSF-1 for maintenance and remain reduced in CSF-1-deficient mice; the paper also identifies CSF-1R as their shared signaling receptor. Our copy does not establish a role for Irf8 or specifically show that all three genes are critical for microglial proliferation. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The Results section on CSF-1–CSF-1R signaling describes changes in microglial immune-response genes, but does not connect them to regulation by PU.1, IRF8, or BHLHE40/41. Searches for those factors and for the claimed phagocytosis, cytokine-production, and inflammatory-signaling functions found no passage establishing the attributed relationship. No page numbers were available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

The Results section reports increased immune-response gene expression in CSF-1–deficient cerebellar microglia, but does not attribute suppression of pro-inflammatory responses to MEF2C. Searches for MEF2C and for suppression of pro-inflammatory microglial responses found no passage addressing MEF2C’s proposed role. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
