    Abstract Tissue macrophages rapidly recognize and engulf apoptotic cells. These events require the display of so-called eat-me signals on the apoptotic cell surface, the most fundamental of which is phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). Externalization of this phospholipid is catalysed by scramblase enzymes, several of which are activated by caspase cleavage. PtdSer is detected both by macrophage receptors that bind to this phospholipid directly and by receptors that bind to a soluble bridging protein that is independently bound to PtdSer. Prominent among the latter receptors are the MER and AXL receptor tyrosine kinases. Eat-me signals also trigger macrophages to engulf virus-infected or metabolically traumatized, but still living, cells, and this 'murder by phagocytosis' may be a common phenomenon. Finally, the localized presentation of PtdSer and other eat-me signals on delimited cell surface domains may enable the phagocytic pruning of these 'locally dead' domains by macrophages, most notably by microglia of the central nervous system.

    Abstract Here, we describe a highly adaptable toolbox for characterizing and analyzing molecular and histopathological changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models. We detail optimized and streamlined approaches from sample preparation to image analysis to facilitate reproducible analyses. We also describe the extraction and measurement of the soluble Aβ level by sandwich ELISA in the cortex and hippocampus of AD mouse models before and after plaque deposition. Finally, we outline the steps for image quantification and analysis using Imaris and ImageJ. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Huang et al. (2021).

    Abstract Dense-core plaques, whose centers contain highly polymerized and compacted aggregates of amyloid β peptides, are one of the two defining histopathological features of Alzheimer's disease. Recent findings indicate that these plaques do not form spontaneously but are instead constructed by microglia, the tissue macrophages of the central nervous system. We discuss cellular, structural, functional, and gene expression criteria by which the microglial assembly of dense-core plaques in the Alzheimer's brain parallels the construction of granulomas by macrophages in other settings. We compare the genesis of these plaques to the macrophage assembly of mycobacterial granulomas, the defining histopathological features of tuberculosis. We suggest that if dense-core plaques are indeed granulomas, their simple disassembly may be contraindicated as an Alzheimer's therapy.

    Abstract Recurrent seizure is a common comorbidity in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may contribute to AD pathogenesis and cognitive decline. Similarly, many mouse models of Alzheimer's disease that overproduce amyloid beta are prone to epileptiform seizures that may result in early sudden death. We studied one such model, designated

    Abstract The receptor tyrosine kinase Mer (gene name Mertk) acts in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) to tighten the blood-brain barrier (BBB) subsequent to viral infection, but how this is achieved is poorly understood. We find that Mer controls the expression and activity of a large cohort of BBB regulators, along with endothelial nitric oxide synthase. It also controls, via an Akt-Foxo1 pathway, the expression of multiple angiogenic genes. Correspondingly, EC-specific Mertk gene inactivation resulted in perturbed vascular sprouting and a compromised BBB after induced photothrombotic stroke. Unexpectedly, stroke lesions in the brain were also reduced in the absence of EC Mer, which was linked to reduced plasma expression of fibrinogen, prothrombin, and other effectors of blood coagulation. Together, these results demonstrate that Mer is a central regulator of angiogenesis, BBB integrity, and blood coagulation in the mature vasculature. They may also account for disease severity following infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Nature repeatedly repurposes, in that molecules that serve as metabolites, energy depots, or polymer subunits are at the same time used to deliver signals within and between cells. The preeminent example of this repurposing is ATP, which functions as a building block for nucleic acids, an energy source for enzymatic reactions, a phosphate donor to regulate intracellular signaling, and a neurotransmitter to control the activity of neurons. A series of recent studies now consolidates the view that phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), a common phospholipid constituent of membrane bilayers, is similarly repurposed for use as a signal between cells and that the ligands and receptors of the Tyro3/Axl/Mer (TAM) family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are prominent transducers of this signal.

    Abstract The receptor tyrosine kinase Tyro3 is abundantly expressed in neurons of the neocortex, hippocampus, and striatum, but its role in these cells is unknown. We found that neuronal expression of this receptor was markedly up-regulated in the postnatal mouse neocortex immediately prior to the final development of glutamatergic synapses. In the absence of Tyro3, cortical and hippocampal synapses never completed end-stage differentiation and remained electrophysiologically and ultrastructurally immature.
