a, Expression level of
selected ligands expressed by cell types known to express
Spp1 (PVF and PVM), by
cell type and genotype. Radius of dot is proportional to the
percentage of cells expressing the gene; color is the scaled
gene expression level. b,
Predicted receptor genes for ligands represented in a, which show differential expression
in microglia (receiver cells). Color represents the predicted
interaction potential. c,
Predicted target genes downstream of receptors identified in
b, which show differential
expression in microglia (receiver cells). Color represents the
predicted regulatory potential. d, Expression of predicted receptor genes in
microglia, by genotype. Radius of dot is proportional to the
percentage of cells expressing the gene; color is the scaled
gene expression level. e,
Quantification of Tgfbr1 and
Itgb5 mRNA levels
expressed by P2Y12+ microglia
assessed by smFISH-IHC in 6-month WT, Spp1KO/KO, AppNL-F and AppNL-F·Spp1KO/KO SLM. One
datapoint represents one individual
P2Y12+ microglia with a
total of 11 (WT, AppNL-F·Spp1KO/KO) and 12
(Spp1KO/KO,
AppNL-F) microglia
(Itgb5) or 16 (WT,
AppNL-F), 17
(Spp1KO/KO) and 18 (AppNL-F·Spp1KO/KO) microglia
(Tgfbr1) pooled from
n = 3
animals per genotype examined over one independent experiment.
P values from one-way
ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple
comparisons test. f,
Quantification of NicheNet hits CD29 (Itgb1) and CD321 (F11r) on microglia
(CX3CR1highCD45+CD11b+
CD206-) isolated from hippocampal
homogenates of 6-month WT, Spp1KO/KO, AppNL-F and AppNL-F·Spp1KO/KO animals.
One datapoint represents one individual mouse (microglia) pooled
from n = 3
mice from one experiment. P
values from one-way ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis test with
Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. g, Flow cytometry profiles of the protein
expression intensity of CD29 and CD321 on microglia of the four
genotypes. Data are shown as
mean ± s.e.m. See also Extended Data
