Ancestral genomic functional differences in oligodendroglia: implications for Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION
This study investigates ancestry-specific changes in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived oligodendroglia genomic regulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), addressing diversity gaps by including African, Amerindian, and European ancestries in the analysis.
METHODS
We generated 12 iPSC lines from AD patients and controls with different apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes, APOE ε3/ ε3 and APOE ε4/ ε4, across three ancestries. Lines were differentiated into neural spheroids containing oligodendrocyte lineage cells and analyzed by single-nucleus RNA sequencing, Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATACseq)APO, and High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C).
RESULTS
We identified ancestry-specific differences in gene expression and chromatin accessibility of AD genome-wide association study candidate genes. APOE ε4/ ε4 carriers across all ancestries showed upregulated cholesterol biosynthesis genes with decreased myelination markers. iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes demonstrated high correlation (R2 > 0.85) with human brain transcriptomes.
DISCUSSION
Our findings highlight the importance of studying diverse ancestries in AD research and suggest early APOE ε4 effects on cholesterol metabolism. The validated iPSC model provides a valuable tool for investigating ancestry-specific disease mechanisms.
Highlights
First study comparing iPSC-derived oligodendroglia across three ancestries.
APOE ε4 carriers show upregulated cholesterol synthesis in oligodendroglia.
Reduced myelin gene expression observed in APOE ε4/ε4 oligodendroglia.
Ancestry-specific differences found in AD GWAS genes and chromatin states.
Novel insights into oligodendrocyte biology relevant to Alzheimer’s disease.
期刊介绍：
Alzheimer's & Dementia is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to bridge knowledge gaps in dementia research by covering the entire spectrum, from basic science to clinical trials to social and behavioral investigations. It provides a platform for rapid communication of new findings and ideas, optimal translation of research into practical applications, increasing knowledge across diverse disciplines for early detection, diagnosis, and intervention, and identifying promising new research directions. In July 2008, Alzheimer's & Dementia was accepted for indexing by MEDLINE, recognizing its scientific merit and contribution to Alzheimer's research.
