Targeting foam cell formation in inflammatory brain diseases by the histone modifier MS-275.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To assess class I-histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on formation of lipid-accumulating, disease-promoting phagocytes upon myelin load in vitro, relevant for neuroinflammatory disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) and cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). METHODS:Immunohistochemistry on postmortem brain tissue of acute MS (n = 6) and cerebral ALD (n = 4) cases to analyze activation and foam cell state of phagocytes. RNA-Seq of in vitro differentiated healthy macrophages (n = 8) after sustained myelin-loading to assess the metabolic shift associated with foam cell formation. RNA-Seq analysis of genes linked to lipid degradation and export in MS-275-treated human HAP1 cells and RT-qPCR analysis of HAP1 cells knocked out for individual members of class I HDACs or the corresponding enzymatically inactive knock-in mutants. Investigation of intracellular lipid/myelin content after MS-275 treatment of myelin-laden human foam cells. Analysis of disease characteristic very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) metabolism and inflammatory state in MS-275-treated X-ALD macrophages. RESULTS:Enlarged foam cells coincided with a pro-inflammatory, lesion-promoting phenotype in postmortem tissue of MS and cerebral ALD patients. Healthy in vitro myelin laden foam cells upregulated genes linked to LXR?/PPAR? pathways and mimicked a program associated with tissue repair. Treating these cells with MS-275, amplified this gene transcription program and significantly reduced lipid and cholesterol accumulation and, thus, foam cell formation. In macrophages derived from X-ALD patients, MS-275 improved the disease-associated alterations of VLCFA metabolism and reduced the pro-inflammatory status of these cells. INTERPRETATION:These findings identify class I-HDAC inhibition as a potential novel strategy to prevent disease promoting foam cell formation in CNS inflammation.
