Abstract
En 中文
The G2019S mutation in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is a major risk factor for the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). LRRK2, although expressed in different cell types, is highly abundant in cells of the innate immune system. Given the importance of central and peripheral immune cells in the development of PD, we sought to investigate the consequences of the G2019S mutation on microglial and monocyte transcriptome and function. We have generated large-scale transcriptomic profiles of isogenic human induced microglial cells (iMGLs) and patient derived monocytes carrying the G2019S mutation in untreated culture conditions and following exposure to the proinflammatory factors IFNγ and LPS. We demonstrate that the G2019S mutation exerts a profound impact on the transcriptomic profile of these myeloid cells, and describe corresponding functional differences in iMGLs. The G2019S mutation led to an upregulation in lipid metabolism and phagolysosomal pathway genes in untreated and LPS/IFNγ stimulated iMGLs, which was accompanied by an increased phagocytic capacity of myelin debris. We also identified dysregulation of cell cycle genes, with a downregulation of the E2F4 regulon. Transcriptomic characterization of human-derived monocytes carrying the G2019S mutation confirmed alteration in lipid metabolism associated genes. Altogether, these findings reveal the influence of G2019S on the dysregulation of the myeloid cell transcriptome under proinflammatory conditions.
