ABSTRACT
Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, are intimately involved in the brain's most basic processes, from pruning neural synapses during development to preventing excessive neuronal activity throughout life. Studies have reported both helpful and harmful roles for microglia at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in the context of disease. However, less is known about microglia-endothelial cell interactions in the healthy brain. To investigate the role of microglia at a healthy BBB, we used the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor PLX5622 to deplete microglia and analyzed the BBB ultrastructure, permeability, and transcriptome. Interestingly, we found that, despite their direct contact with endothelial cells, microglia are not necessary for the maintenance of BBB structure, function, or gene expression in the healthy brain. However, we found that PLX5622 treatment alters brain endothelial cholesterol metabolism. This effect was independent from microglial depletion, suggesting that PLX5622 has off-target effects on brain vasculature.
