RESUMO

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contains a tightly regulated immune system. However, knowledge is lacking about how CSF immunity is altered with aging or neurodegenerative disease. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on CSF from 45 cognitively normal subjects ranging from 54 to 82 years old. We uncovered an upregulation of lipid transport genes in monocytes with age. We then compared this cohort with 14 cognitively impaired subjects. In cognitively impaired subjects, downregulation of lipid transport genes in monocytes occurred concomitantly with altered cytokine signaling to CD8 T cells. Clonal CD8 T effector memory cells upregulated C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) in cognitively impaired subjects. The CXCR6 ligand, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16), was elevated in the CSF of cognitively impaired subjects, suggesting CXCL16-CXCR6 signaling as a mechanism for antigen-specific T cell entry into the brain. Cumulatively, these results reveal cerebrospinal fluid immune dysregulation during healthy brain aging and cognitive impairment.

RESUMO

The peripheral immune system in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has not been thoroughly studied with modern sequencing methods. To investigate epigenetic and transcriptional alterations to the AD peripheral immune system, we used single-cell sequencing strategies, including assay for transposase-accessible chromatin and RNA sequencing. We reveal a striking amount of open chromatin in peripheral immune cells in AD. In CD8 T cells, we uncover a cis-regulatory DNA element co-accessible with the CXC motif chemokine receptor 3 gene promoter. In monocytes, we identify a novel AD-specific RELA transcription factor binding site adjacent to an open chromatin region in the nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 gene. We also demonstrate apolipoprotein E genotype-dependent epigenetic changes in monocytes. Surprisingly, we also identify differentially accessible chromatin regions in genes associated with sporadic AD risk. Our findings provide novel insights into the complex relationship between epigenetics and genetic risk factors in AD peripheral immunity.
