Differential Stimulation of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Human Microglia Leads to Exosomal Proteomic Changes Affecting Neurons
Microglial exosomes are an emerging communication pathway, implicated in fulfilling homeostatic microglial functions and transmitting neurodegenerative signals. Gene variants of <i>triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2)</i> are associated with an increased risk of devel...

Microglial exosomes are an emerging communication pathway, implicated in fulfilling homeostatic microglial functions and transmitting neurodegenerative signals. Gene variants of <i>triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2)</i> are associated with an increased risk of developing dementia. We investigated the influence of the <i>TREM2</i> Alzheimer’s disease risk variant, R47H<sup>het</sup>, on the microglial exosomal proteome consisting of 3019 proteins secreted from human iPS-derived microglia (iPS-Mg). Exosomal protein content changed according to how the iPS-Mg were stimulated. Thus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced microglial exosomes to contain more inflammatory signals, whilst stimulation with the TREM2 ligand phosphatidylserine (PS<sup>+</sup>) increased metabolic signals within the microglial exosomes.

Exosomes from R47H<sup>het</sup> iPS-Mg contained disease-associated microglial (DAM) signature proteins and were less able to promote the outgrowth of neuronal processes and increase mitochondrial metabolism in neurons compared with exosomes from the common <i>TREM2</i> variant iPS-Mg.
