abstract = {Aging is the major risk factor for neurodegeneration and is
associated with structural and functional alterations in
white matter. Myelin is particularly vulnerable to aging,
resulting in white matter-associated microglia activation.
Here we used pharmacological and genetic approaches to
investigate microglial functions related to aging-associated
changes in myelinated axons of mice. Our results reveal that
maladaptive microglia activation promotes the accumulation
of harmful CD8+ T cells, leading to the degeneration of
myelinated axons and subsequent impairment of brain function
and behavior. We characterize glial heterogeneity and
aging-related changes in white matter by single-cell and
spatial transcriptomics and reveal elaborate glial-immune
interactions. Mechanistically, we show that the CXCL10-CXCR3
axis is crucial for the recruitment and retention of CD8+ T
cells in aged white matter, where they exert pathogenic
effects. Our results indicate that myelin-related microglia
dysfunction promotes adaptive immune reactions in aging and
identify putative targets to mitigate their detrimental
impact.},
