text: Mitochondrial networks remodel their connectivity, content, and subcellular
localization to support optimized energy production in conditions of increased
environmental or cellular stress. Microglia rely on mitochondria to respond to
these stressors, however our knowledge about mitochondrial networks and their
adaptations in microglia in vivo is limited. Here, we generate a mouse model that
selectively labels mitochondria in microglia. We identify that mitochondrial networks
are more fragmented with increased content and perinuclear localization in vitro
vs. in vivo. Mitochondrial networks adapt similarly in microglia closest to the
injury site after optic nerve crush. Preventing microglial UCP2 increase after
injury by selective knockout induces cellular stress. This results in mitochondrial
hyperfusion in male microglia, a phenotype absent in females due to circulating
estrogens. Our results establish the foundation for mitochondrial network analysis
of microglia in vivo, emphasizing the importance of mitochondrial-based sex effects
of microglia in other pathologies.

text: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate processes ranging from immune
responses to neuronal signaling. However, ligands for many GPCRs remain unknown,
suffer from off-target effects or have poor bioavailability. Additionally, dissecting
cell type-specific responses is challenging when the same GPCR is expressed on
different cells within a tissue. Here, we overcome these limitations by engineering
DREADD-based GPCR chimeras that bind clozapine-N-oxide and mimic a GPCR-of-interest.
We show that chimeric DREADD-β2AR triggers responses comparable to β2AR on second
messenger and kinase activity, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein
interactions. Moreover, we successfully recapitulate β2AR-mediated filopodia formation
in microglia, an immune cell capable of driving central nervous system inflammation.
When dissecting microglial inflammation, we included two additional DREADD-based
chimeras mimicking microglia-enriched GPR65 and GPR109A. DREADD-β2AR and DREADD-GPR65
modulate the inflammatory response with high similarity to endogenous β2AR, while
DREADD-GPR109A shows no impact. Our DREADD-based approach allows investigation
of cell type-dependent pathways without known endogenous ligands.

text: Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies
to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features,
which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological
phenotypes. Here we develop MorphOMICs, a topological data analysis approach,
which enables semiautomatic mapping of microglial morphology into an atlas of
cue-dependent phenotypes and overcomes feature-selection biases and biological
variability. We extract spatially heterogeneous and sexually dimorphic morphological
phenotypes for seven adult mouse brain regions. This sex-specific phenotype declines
with maturation but increases over the disease trajectories in two neurodegeneration
mouse models, with females showing a faster morphological shift in affected brain
regions. Remarkably, microglia morphologies reflect an adaptation upon repeated
exposure to ketamine anesthesia and do not recover to control morphologies. Finally,
we demonstrate that both long primary processes and short terminal processes provide
distinct insights to morphological phenotypes. MorphOMICs opens a new perspective
to characterize microglial morphology.

text: "Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are widely used to deliver genetic material
in vivo to distinct cell types such as neurons or glial cells, allowing for targeted
manipulation. Transduction of microglia is mostly excluded from this strategy,
likely due to the cells’ heterogeneous state upon environmental changes, which
makes AAV design challenging. Here, we established the retina as a model system
for microglial AAV validation and optimization. First, we show that AAV2/6 transduced
microglia in both synaptic layers, where layer preference corresponds to the intravitreal
or subretinal delivery method. Surprisingly, we observed significantly enhanced
microglial transduction during photoreceptor degeneration. Thus, we modified the
AAV6 capsid to reduce heparin binding by introducing four point mutations (K531E,
R576Q, K493S, and K459S), resulting in increased microglial transduction in the
outer plexiform layer. Finally, to improve microglial-specific transduction, we
validated a Cre-dependent transgene delivery cassette for use in combination with
the Cx3cr1CreERT2 mouse line. Together, our results provide a foundation for future
studies optimizing AAV-mediated microglia transduction and highlight that environmental
conditions influence microglial transduction efficiency.\r\n"

text: Perineuronal nets (PNNs), components of the extracellular matrix, preferentially
coat parvalbumin-positive interneurons and constrain critical-period plasticity
in the adult cerebral cortex. Current strategies to remove PNN are long-lasting,
invasive, and trigger neuropsychiatric symptoms. Here, we apply repeated anesthetic
ketamine as a method with minimal behavioral effect. We find that this paradigm
strongly reduces PNN coating in the healthy adult brain and promotes juvenile-like
plasticity. Microglia are critically involved in PNN loss because they engage
with parvalbumin-positive neurons in their defined cortical layer. We identify
external 60-Hz light-flickering entrainment to recapitulate microglia-mediated
PNN removal. Importantly, 40-Hz frequency, which is known to remove amyloid plaques,
does not induce PNN loss, suggesting microglia might functionally tune to distinct
brain frequencies. Thus, our 60-Hz light-entrainment strategy provides an alternative
form of PNN intervention in the healthy adult brain.

text: Microglia have emerged as a critical component of neurodegenerative diseases.
Genetic manipulation of microglia can elucidate their functional impact in disease.
In neuroscience, recombinant viruses such as lentiviruses and adeno-associated
viruses (AAVs) have been successfully used to target various cell types in the
brain, although effective transduction of microglia is rare. In this review, we
provide a short background of lentiviruses and AAVs, and strategies for designing
recombinant viral vectors. Then, we will summarize recent literature on successful
microglial transductions in vitro and in vivo, and discuss the current challenges.
Finally, we provide guidelines for reporting the efficiency and specificity of
viral targeting in microglia, which will enable the microglial research community
to assess and improve methodologies for future studies.
