These metabolic changes in microglia were exacerbated by inflammatory stimuli. To investigate how these changes affect the broader cellular environment, we developed a human iPSC-derived triculture system comprising motor neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. This model revealed increased metabolic activity in all cell types and highlighted that microglia-driven metabolic reprogramming in astrocytes contributes to the vulnerability of motor neurons under inflammatory conditions.

Under homeostatic conditions, microglia play critical roles in orchestrating synaptic pruning, debris clearance, and dead cell removal. In disease, they are powerful mediators of neuroinflammation, as they rapidly respond to injury or infection within the CNS by altering their morphology, proliferating, and releasing cytokines and other signaling molecules. Understanding the molecular pathways involved in microglial function is pivotal for advancing neurobiological research and developing effective strategies for CNS disorders. In this context, P2RY12 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is uniquely enriched in microglia in the parenchyma and a canonical marker of homeostatic, ramified microglia. However, P2RY12 is downregulated in activated microglia and in neurological conditions. The consequences of P2RY12 downregulation in disease-associated microglia and how they influence microglial activation remain poorly understood. In this study, we apply transcriptional and histological methods to explore the changes to microglia upon a genetic P2RY12 loss. Our findings reveal that P2RY12-deficient microglia experience alterations in distinct metabolic pathways while preserving overall homeostatic microglial transcriptional identity. Lack of P2RY12 alters signature genes involved in homeostatic iron metabolism. Importantly, the genes encoding proteins in the Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (Gpx4)-Glutathione (GSH) antioxidant pathway related to ferroptosis susceptibility are impaired upon microglial activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

We aimed to investigate the implication of WW domain-containing protein 2 (WWP2), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, in CI/RI and its mechanism. Microglia were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation, and mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for modeling. WWP2 was reduced in the brain tissues of mice with MCAO/R. WWP2 overexpression in microglia inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome activation to alleviate MCAO/R-induced injury and microglia-induced neurotoxicity. WWP2 inhibited the mitochondrial translocation of NLRP3 by degrading mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) to block its interaction with NLRP3, and MAVS overexpression in microglia promoted the NLRP3 activation to exacerbate MCAO/R and neurotoxicity. The nuclear export of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in MCAO/R promoted the WWP2 degradation via the (UG)n element of the 3'UTR of WWP2. TDP-43 overexpression also impaired the blockade of NLRP3 activation and exacerbated neurotoxicity in the presence of WWP2.

Transplantation of OECs to various neuronal injury locations showed a reparative impact; however, there was huge variability. By combining mRNA sequencing with bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry, we characterized the cellular and molecular biological properties of OECs of the lamina propria and their response to neuronal injury. We found that OECs do not express NGFR (p75) under steady state conditions, questioning the common approach of isolating OECs with NGFR antibodies. While OECs express a peculiar combination of markers of different types of glial cells, they are strikingly similar to satellite glia cells of the dorsal root ganglion; for example, they showed marked upregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism during neuronal regeneration. Similar to satellite glia cells and unlike Schwann cells, adult OECs did not proliferate in response to injury. Like endothelial cells at the blood-brain barrier and unlike other glia types, OECs showed extensive connections via the tight junction protein Claudin 5. Furthermore, OECs lack water channels, which probably explains why they sustain a stable environment after olfactory epithelium ablation. Regulation of the extracellular osmolarity seems to involve Aquaporin 1 in perineural fibroblasts together with high levels of KCNJ10, Na⁺K⁺ATPase, and gap junctions in OECs.

A large focus of glial studies has been on investigating how these cells work with neurons to execute their supportive roles, yet glial-glial interactions are even less well understood. Our previous work established that the loss of the secreted neurotrophin, Spätzle 3 (Spz3), from Drosophila cortex glia (CG) results in the morphological degradation of CG during mid to late larval development, where they lose their intricate interactions with neurons and other glial subtypes. Building on this work, we found that the loss of CG-neuron interactions triggers aberrant infiltration and functional compensation from all neighboring glial cell types-astrocytes, ensheathing glia (EG), and subperineurial glia (SPG)-and that both the CG disruption and surrounding aberrant glial extensions are inhibited by blocking CNS growth. These aberrant glial processes are able to compensate for at least one major CG function, the clearance of apoptotic neuronal corpses via Draper-mediated engulfment. Remarkably, even as astrocytes, EG, and SPG divert their cellular resources to extend into new territories and take on new functions, they continue to maintain their normal homeostatic roles such as synaptic remodeling (astrocytes), post-injury clearance of neurite debris (ensheathing glia), and regulation of the blood-brain barrier (SPG).
