ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Key functions of Ca2+ signaling in rodent microglia include monitoring the brain state as well as the surrounding neuronal activity and sensing the danger or damage in their vicinity. Microglial Ca2+ dyshomeostasis is a disease hallmark in many mouse models of neurological disorders but the Ca2+ signal properties of human microglia remain unknown.

METHODS:

We developed a novel genetically-encoded ratiometric Ca2+ indicator, targeting microglial cells in the freshly resected human tissue, organotypically cultured tissue slices and analyzed in situ ongoing Ca2+ signaling of decades-old microglia dwelling in their native microenvironment.

RESULTS:

The data revealed marked compartmentalization of Ca2+ signals, with signal properties differing across the compartments and resident morphotypes. The basal Ca2+ levels were low in ramified and high in ameboid microglia. The fraction of cells with ongoing Ca2+ signaling, the fraction and the amplitude of process Ca2+ signals and the duration of somatic Ca2+ signals decreased when moving from ramified via hypertrophic to ameboid microglia. In contrast, the size of active compartments, the fraction and amplitude of somatic Ca2+ signals and the duration of process Ca2+ signals increased along this pathway.
