초록

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by microglia-mediated neuroinflammation. Deep (>1,000×) panel sequencing of 311 brain samples revealed enrichment of somatic single-nucleotide variants (sSNVs) in cancer driver genes in AD brains, especially in genes associated with clonal hematopoiesis (CH). These sSNVs were associated with clonal expansion and carried by both microglia-like brain macrophages (MLBMs) in multiple brain regions as well as paired blood, suggesting a likely hematopoietic origin. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from 62 additional AD and control brains revealed increased somatic copy number variants (sCNVs) associated with CH in AD MLBMs, whereas single-cell multi-omic analyses demonstrated that sSNV- and sCNV-carrying MLBMs exhibited inflammatory and proliferative transcriptional signatures characteristic of disease-associated microglia. These signatures were recapitulated in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia-like cells with TET2 , ASXL1 , and DNMT3A variants. These findings suggest that clonal somatic driver variants in MLBMs are enriched in AD, potentially promoting neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
