摘要
阿尔茨海默病是全球痴呆症的主要原因,但其在大脑不同区域的病理进展所涉及的细胞通路仍然不甚了解。本文报告了一个关于老年人脑部六个不同区域的单细胞转录组图谱,涵盖来自48名阿尔茨海默病患者及非患者的283个尸检人脑样本中的130万细胞。我们识别出76种细胞类型,包括特定区域的星形胶质细胞和兴奋性神经元的亚型,以及独特于丘脑的抑制性中间神经元群体,这些群体与典型的抑制性亚类不同。我们发现,在阿尔茨海默病中,特定大脑区域内的兴奋性和抑制性神经元存在脆弱群体的减少,并提供证据表明Reelin信号通路参与调节这些神经元的脆弱性。我们开发了一种可扩展的方法用于发现基因模块,并利用该方法识别在阿尔茨海默病中发生改变的细胞类型特异性和区域特异性模块,注释与多种病理变量相关的转录组差异。我们识别出一个与阿尔茨海默病病理相关的认知韧性星形胶质细胞程序,将胆碱代谢和星形胶质细胞中的多胺生物合成与晚年保持的认知功能联系起来。总之,我们的研究构建了一个老年人脑部的区域图谱,并提供了对阿尔茨海默病病理的细胞脆弱性、反应和韧性的深入见解。
英文摘要
Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia worldwide, but the cellular pathways that underlie its pathological progression across brain regions remain poorly understood1-3. Here we report a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of six different brain regions in the aged human brain, covering 1.3 million cells from 283 post-mortem human brain samples across 48 individuals with and without Alzheimer's disease. We identify 76 cell types, including region-specific subtypes of astrocytes and excitatory neurons and an inhibitory interneuron population unique to the thalamus and distinct from canonical inhibitory subclasses. We identify vulnerable populations of excitatory and inhibitory neurons that are depleted in specific brain regions in Alzheimer's disease, and provide evidence that the Reelin signalling pathway is involved in modulating the vulnerability of these neurons. We develop a scalable method for discovering gene modules, which we use to identify cell-type-specific and region-specific modules that are altered in Alzheimer's disease and to annotate transcriptomic differences associated with diverse pathological variables. We identify an astrocyte program that is associated with cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease pathology, tying choline metabolism and polyamine biosynthesis in astrocytes to preserved cognitive function late in life. Together, our study develops a regional atlas of the ageing human brain and provides insights into cellular vulnerability, response and resilience to Alzheimer's disease pathology.

核心洞察
研究背景和目的
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种复杂的神经退行性疾病,其病理特征包括淀粉样斑块和神经纤维缠结。传统的研究方法通常依赖于组织样本的分析,而单细胞测序技术的兴起使得对疾病的细胞组成和基因表达模式进行更细致的研究成为可能。本研究旨在通过单细胞多区域分析,深入探讨阿尔茨海默病的细胞异质性和潜在的分子机制。
主要方法/材料/实验设计
本研究采用了单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)技术,对来自不同脑区的细胞进行分析。研究样本包括来自14种主要细胞类型的细胞,包括兴奋性神经元、抑制性神经元、星形胶质细胞等。使用UMAP(统一流形近似与投影)对细胞进行降维和可视化,并通过聚类分析识别不同细胞亚型。
以下是研究的技术路线图:
关键结果和发现
- 细胞异质性:通过单细胞分析,研究发现不同脑区的细胞类型分布存在显著差异,尤其是在抑制性神经元和星形胶质细胞中。
- 基因表达模式:特定的基因在不同细胞亚型中的表达差异明显,例如,兴奋性神经元中的NRGN和GPR137C在抑制性神经元中则表达较低。
- 功能富集分析:对基因模块的富集分析显示,多个模块与阿尔茨海默病的相关路径(如细胞周期、炎症反应等)显著相关。
主要结论/意义/创新性
本研究通过单细胞多区域分析揭示了阿尔茨海默病中细胞类型的多样性和基因表达的复杂性。这一发现为理解AD的发病机制提供了新的视角,并可能为未来的治疗策略开发奠定基础。研究的创新性在于首次将单细胞RNA测序应用于多脑区的比较,揭示了疾病相关的细胞间交互作用。
研究局限性和未来方向
- 样本量限制:尽管研究涵盖了多个脑区,但样本量仍相对有限,可能影响结果的普适性。
- 细胞环境影响:细胞在体外环境中的行为可能与在体内有所不同,未来研究应考虑细胞间的微环境效应。
- 长时间追踪:建议进行长期的纵向研究,以观察细胞变化与疾病进展的关系。
未来的研究方向包括扩大样本量,结合多组学数据(如蛋白质组学、代谢组学),以及探索特定细胞类型在阿尔茨海默病中的功能和机制。
