Related B cell clones that populate the CSF and CNS of patients with multiple sclerosis produce CSF immunoglobulin.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the overlap shared between the immunoglobulin (Ig) proteome of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the B cell Ig-transcriptome of CSF and the central nervous system (CNS) tissue of three patients with multiple sclerosis. We determined the IgG-proteomes of CSF by mass spectrometry, and compared them to the IgG-transcriptomes from CSF and brain lesions, which were analyzed by cDNA cloning. Characteristic peptides that were identified in the CSF-proteome could also be detected in the transcriptomes of both, brain lesions and CSF, providing evidence for a strong overlap of the IgG repertoires in brain lesions and in the CSF.

Project description:Natalizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the α4 subunit of the integrins α4ß1 and α4ß7, has been approved for the treatment of active relapsing-remitting MS. Although natalizumab is a highly beneficial drug that effectively reduces the risk of sustained disability progression and the rate of clinical relapses, some patients do not respond to it, and some are at higher risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The histopathological effects after natalizumab therapy are still unknown. We, therefore, performed a detailed histological characterization of the CNS inflammatory cell infiltrate of 24 brain specimens from natalizumab treated patients, consisting of 20 biopsies and 4 autopsies and 21 MS controls. To complement the analysis, immune cells in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 30 natalizumab-treated patients and 42 MS controls were quantified by flow cytometry. Inflammatory infiltrates within lesions were mainly composed of T cells and macrophages, some B cells, plasma cells, and dendritic cells. There was no significant difference in the numbers of T cells or macrophages and microglial cells in lesions of natalizumab-treated patients as compared to controls. A shift towards cytotoxic T cells of a memory phenotype was observed in the CSF. Plasma cells were significantly increased in active demyelinating lesions of natalizumab-treated patients, but no correlation to clinical disability was observed. Dendritic cells within lesions were found to be reduced with longer ongoing therapy duration. Our findings suggest that natalizumab does not completely prevent immune cells from entering the CNS and is associated with an accumulation of plasma cells, the pathogenic and clinical significance of which is not known. As B cells are considered to serve as a reservoir of the JC virus, the observed plasma cell accumulation and reduction in dendritic cells in the CNS of natalizumab-treated patients may potentially play a role in PML development.
