Innate immune memory in the brain shapes neurological disease hallmarks [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Innate immune memory is a vital mechanism of myeloid cell plasticity that occurs in response to environmental stimuli and alters subsequent immune responses. Two types of immunological imprinting can be distinguished—training and tolerance. These are epigenetically mediated and enhance or suppress subsequent inflammation, respectively. Whether immune memory occurs in tissue-resident macrophages in vivo and how it may affect pathology remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that peripherally applied inflammatory stimuli induce acute immune training and tolerance in the brain and lead to differential epigenetic reprogramming of brain-resident macrophages (microglia) that persists for at least six months. Strikingly, in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s pathology, immune training exacerbates cerebral beta-amyloidosis and immune tolerance alleviates it; similarly, peripheral immune stimulation modifies pathological features after stroke. Our results identify immune memory in the brain as an important modifier of neuropathology.

Interferons and epigenetic mechanisms in training, priming and tolerance of monocytes and hematopoietic progenitors [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Training and priming of innate immune cells involve preconditioning by PAMPs, DAMPs and/or cytokines that elicits stronger induction of inflammatory genes upon secondary challenge. Previous models distinguish training and priming based upon whether immune activation returns to baseline prior to secondary challenge. Tolerance is a protective mechanism whereby potent stimuli induce refractoriness to secondary challenge. Training and priming are important for innate memory responses that protect against infection, efficacy of vaccines, and maintaining innate immune cells in a state of readiness; tolerance prevents toxicity from excessive immune activation. Dysregulation of these processes can contribute to pathogenesis of autoimmune/inflammatory conditions, post-COVID-19 hyperinflammatory states, or sepsis- associated immunoparalysis. Training, priming and tolerance regulate similar ‘signature’ inflammatory genes such as TNF, IL6 and IL1B and utilize overlapping epigenetic mechanisms. We review how interferons (IFNs), best known for activating Jak-STAT signaling and interferon- stimulated genes, also play a key role regulating training, priming and tolerance via chromatin- mediated mechanisms. We present new data on how monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation modulates IFN-g-mediated priming, changes AP-1 and CEBP activity, and attenuates superinduction of inflammatory genes. We present a ‘training-priming continuum’ model that integrates IFN-mediated priming into current concepts about training and tolerance and proposes a central role for STAT1 and IRF1.

Gene Expression Regulation in Brain Underlying Innate Immune Memory

Project description:As the brain’s resident immune cells, microglia upregulate inflammatory gene expression to promote immune functions. Following the response to early life infection, microglia can remain in a “primed” state in which a subsequent immune trigger produces a hyper-activation. Paradoxically, multiple repeated immune activating events can lead to tolerance, the suppression of immune gene expression and function. Both priming and tolerance represent a form of cellular memory that may be disrupted in neurodevelopmental disorders and is largely unexplored in microglia. We hypothesize that acute versus repeated immune activation engages expression of distinct sets of genes, leading to either microglial priming or tolerance. Using in vivo peripheral injections of low dose liposaccharide (LPS 500ug/kg intraperitoneal) to mimic bacterial infection in mice, we compared animals recievig 1, 2, 3, or 4 daily doses of LPS compared to Vehicle (PBS) controls. We examined tissue from three brain regions, the hippocampus, striatum and frotal cortex by RNAseq.

Brain hypothyroidism leads to immune tolerance in microglia in Alzheimer's disease [scRNA-seq]

Project description:An imbalance in thyroid hormones (THs) is associated with reversible dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Whether hypothyroidism occurs in AD brains and how it affects AD pathology remain largely unknown. Here, we find that reduced conversion of thyroxine (T4) to tri-iodothyronine (T3) in the brain by decreased iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (DIO2) leads to hippocampal hypothyroidism in early AD model mice prior to TH changes in the blood. A TH deficiency causes immune tolerance with decreased phagocytic activity in microglia, thereby aggravating AD pathology. We demonstrate that microglial ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73) is reduced in the hypothyroid state and that its inhibition contributes to immune tolerance in microglia. Thus, our data define a molecular mechanism through which decreased conversion of T4 to T3 in the early AD brain, and consequent brain hypothyroidism causes microglial dysfunction and exacerbates AD pathology.

Trained immunity of alveolar macrophages depends on metabolic rewiring and type 1 interferon signaling (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Environmental microbial triggers shape the development and functionality of the immune system. Alveolar macrophages (AMs), tissue-resident macrophages of the lungs, are in constant and direct contact with inhaled particles and microbes. Such exposures likely impact AM reactivity to subsequent challenges by immunological imprinting mechanisms referred to as trained immunity. Here, we investigated whether a ubiquitous microbial compound has the potential to induce AM training in vivo. We showed that intranasal exposure to ambient amounts of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) protected mice from bacterial pneumonia six days later and discovered a pronounced AM memory response, characterized by enhanced reactivity upon pneumococcal challenge. Exploring the mechanistic basis of AM training, we identified a critical role of type 1 interferon signaling and found that trained AMs displayed a substantially modulated metabolite and lipid composition. Inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and glutaminolysis significantly attenuated the training effect, suggesting a key function of metabolic rewiring in LPS-induced AM memory. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the profound impact of ambient microbial exposure on pulmonary immune memory and highlight tissue-specific features of trained immunity.

Radiotherapy induces persistent innate immune reprogramming of microglia into a priming state

Project description:More than half of all brain tumour survivors experience debilitating and often progressive cognitive decline after treatment with radiotherapy. Microglia, the tissue-resident macrophages of the brain, have been implicated in this decline. In response to various insults microglia can develop innate immune memory (IMM), which can either enhance (priming) or repress (tolerance) the response to subsequent inflammatory challenges. Here, we investigated whether radiation can affect the IMM of microglia by irradiating the brains of rats and later exposing them to a second inflammatory challenge. Transcriptomic profiling of microglia isolated from irradiated rats showed a stronger immune response to a second inflammatory insult demonstrating that radiation can lead to long-lasting molecular reprogramming of microglia. Transcriptomic analysis of post-mortem non-tumour brain tissue of glioblastoma patients indicates that radiation-induced microglial priming is conserved in humans. Targeting microglial priming after radiotherapy or avoiding further inflammatory insults could decrease progressive radiotherapy-induced cognitive decline.

Single-cell sequencing of tissue-resident CD4+ T cells that drive compartmentalized immunopathology in the CNS

Project description:In chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), immune cells persisting behind the blood-brain barrier are supposed to promulgate local tissue destruction. The drivers of such compartmentalized inflammation remain unclear, but tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) represent a potentially important cellular player in this process
