Resumo

Using high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry, we present comprehensive human and mouse microglia proteomic datasets consisting of over 11,000 proteins across six microglia groups. Microglia share a core protein signature of over 5,600 proteins, yet fundamental differences are observed between species and culture conditions. Mouse microglia demonstrate proteome differences in inflammation- and Alzheimer's disease-associated proteins. We identify differences in the protein content of ex vivo and in vitro cells and significant proteome differences associated with protein synthesis, metabolism, microglia marker expression, and environmental sensors. Culturing microglia induces rapidly increased growth, protein content, and inflammatory protein expression. These changes are restored by engrafting in vitro cells into the brain, with xenografted human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived microglia closely resembling microglia from the human brain. These data provide an important resource for the field and highlight important considerations needed when using model systems to study human physiology and pathology of microglia.
