Abstract

Background

The accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides into insoluble plaques is an early pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). BACE1 is the sole β-secretase for Aβ generation, making it an attractive therapeutic target for AD therapy. While BACE1 inhibitors have been shown to reduce Aβ levels in people with AD, clinical trials targeting BACE1 have failed due to unwanted synaptic deficits. Understanding the physiological role of BACE1 in individual cell types is essential for developing effective BACE inhibitors for the treatment of AD. Recent single-cell RNA transcriptomic assays revealed that oligodendrocytes are enriched with genes required for generating Aβ. However, the contribution of oligodendrocytes to amyloid plaque burden in AD and the side effects of oligodendrocyte-specific Bace1 deletion remain to be explored.

Methods

We generated an oligodendrocyte-specific Bace1 knockout model (Bace1fl/fl;Olig2-Cre) to monitor potential disruptions in myelination using standard electron microscopy. Long-term potentiation (LTP) was monitored to measure synaptic integrity. We crossed the Bace1fl/fl;Olig2-Cre model with heterozygous AppNL−G−F/wt knock-in AD mice to generate AD mice lacking oligodendrocyte Bace1 (Bace1fl/fl;Olig2-Cre; AppNL−G−F/wt) and examined amyloid plaque number and insoluble Aβ levels and gliosis in these animals. Single nuclei RNA sequencing experiments were conducted to examine molecular changes in response to Bace1 deficiency in oligodendrocytes in the wild type or APP knock-in background.

Results

Bace1 deletion in oligodendrocytes caused no change in myelin thickness in the corpus callosum but a marginal reduction in myelin sheath thickness of the optic nerve. Synaptic strength measured by LTP was not different between Bace1fl/fl;Olig2-Cre and age-matched Bace1fl/fl control animals, suggesting no major effect on synaptic plasticity. Intriguingly, deletion of Bace1 in 12-month-old heterozygous AD knock-in mice (Bace1fl/fl;Olig2-Cre; AppNL−G−F/wt mice) caused a significant reduction of amyloid plaques by ~ 33% in the hippocampus and ~ 29% in the cortex compared to age-matched AD mice (Bace1fl/fl;AppNL−G−F/wt). Insoluble Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42 levels were reduced comparably while more astrocytes and microglia were observed in surrounding amyloid plaques. Unbiased single-nuclei RNA sequencing results revealed that deletion of oligodendrocyte Bace1 in APPNL−G−F/wt knock-in mice increased expression of genes associated with Aβ generation and clearance such as ADAM10, Ano4, ApoE, Il33, and Sort1.

Conclusion

Our results provide compelling evidence that the amyloidogenic pathway in oligodendrocytes contributes to Aβ plaque formation in the AD brain. While specifically targeting BACE1 inhibition in oligodendrocytes for reducing Aβ pathology in AD is likely challenging, this is a potentially explorable strategy in future studies.
