Specification of CNS macrophage subsets occurs postnatally in defined niches

Takahiro Masuda et al.

Summary: This study reveals the ontogenetic relationships and development of different subsets of macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia and meningeal macrophages share a common prenatal progenitor, while perivascular macrophages originate from the perinatal meningeal macrophages after birth in an integrin-dependent manner. The presence of arterial vascular smooth muscle cells is crucial for the establishment of perivascular macrophages.

Dual ontogeny of disease-associated microglia and disease inflammatory macrophages in aging and neurodegeneration

Aymeric Silvin et al.

Summary: Brain macrophage populations play important roles in brain development, homeostasis, aging pathogenesis, and neurodegeneration. However, the phenotypes, localization, and functions of these populations are not fully understood. This study systematically delineated brain macrophage populations using single-cell RNA sequencing integration in mice and identified two distinct cell lineages within the disease-associated microglia population. These findings provide insights into the heterogeneity of brain myeloid cells and offer potential cellular targets for the treatment of neurodegeneration.

A Binary Cre Transgenic Approach Dissects Microglia and CNS Border-Associated Macrophages

Jung-Seok Kim et al.

Summary: Research has revealed the developmental and molecular heterogeneity of tissue macrophages, as well as their diverse roles in physiology and pathophysiology. By establishing a binary transgenic system in the brain, specific populations of macrophages, such as parenchymal microglia and vasculature-associated macrophages, can be targeted and analyzed for their differential responses to challenges using a method called RiboTag. This study demonstrates the value of binary transgenesis in dissecting tissue macrophage compartments and understanding their functions.

Altered perivascular fibroblast activity precedes ALS disease onset

Anna Manberg et al.

Summary: The study suggests that increased activity of perivascular fibroblast cells and vascular remodeling early in ALS pathogenesis can predict patient survival time. Elevated levels of SPP1 in plasma at disease diagnosis are a stronger predictor of shorter survival in ALS patients than established risk factors.

A lymphocyte-microglia-astrocyte axis in chronic active multiple sclerosis

Martina Absinta et al.

Summary: Through MRI-guided single-nucleus RNA sequencing, a diversity of glial and immune cells at the edge of demyelinated white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) have been identified, along with the definition of inflamed glial cell phenotypes in MS. The overlap of the transcriptional profile of microglia inflamed in MS with that in other neurodegenerative diseases suggests common mechanisms between primary and secondary neurodegeneration that could benefit from similar therapeutic approaches. The critical role of complement component 1q (C1q) in the activation of microglia inflamed in MS has been identified and potential therapeutic avenues, such as C1q inhibition, have been suggested for addressing chronic white matter inflammation.

Complement factor C1q mediates sleep spindle loss and epileptic spikes after mild brain injury

Stephanie S. Holden et al.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can acutely damage the cortex, but most disabilities associated with TBI are due to secondary injuries that accumulate over time, with the thalamus potentially being a key site. Research in a mouse model of mild TBI (mTBI) revealed chronic elevation of C1q in the corticothalamic system, correlating with neuron loss, chronic inflammation, disrupted sleep spindles, and emergence of epileptic activities. Blocking C1q may counteract these effects, suggesting it as a potential disease modifier in mTBI, with microglia identified as a source of thalamic C1q. Targeting the corticothalamic circuit could offer new avenues for treating TBI-related disabilities.
