| Title |
Sex-dependent APOE4 Neutrophil-microglia interactions drive cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's Disease |
| Organism |
Homo sapiens |
| Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing

| Summary |
APOE4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with increased odds ratios in females. Targeting amyloid plaques shows modest improvement in male non-APOE4 carriers. Leveraging single-cell transcriptomics across APOE variants in both sexes, multiplex flow cytometry, and validation in two independent cohorts of APOE4 female AD patients, we identify a new subset of neutrophils interacting with microglia associated with cognitive impairment. This phenotype is defined by increased IL-17 and IL-1 co-expressed gene modules in blood neutrophils and in microglia of cognitively impaired female APOE e4 carriers, showing increased infiltration to the AD brain. APOE4 female IL-17+ neutrophils upregulated the immunosuppressive cytokines IL-10 and TGFB and immune checkpoints, including LAG-3 and PD-1, associated with accelerated immune aging. Deletion of APOE4 in neutrophils reduced this immunosuppressive phenotype and restored the microglial response to neurodegeneration (MGnD), limiting plaque pathology in AD mice. Mechanistically, IL-17F upregulated in APOE4 neutrophils interacts with microglial IL-17RA to suppress the induction of MGnD phenotype, and blocking this axis supported cognitive improvement in AD mice. These findings provide a translational basis to target IL-17F in APOE e4 female carriers with cognitive impairment.

| Overall design |
Nuclei were isolated from frozen human brain tissue and enriched for microglia and astrocytes using Fluorescence-activated nuclei sorting (FANS) and analysed using snRNAseq. Donors included both males and females from an Alzheimer's diseased (AD) cohort and non-demented control (CTRL) cohort that have the APOE 3/3 or 3/4 genotype
