Expression data from cortical tissue of 5XFAD mice treated with 5B8 antibody or IgG control

ABSTRACT: Activation of innate immunity and deposition of blood-derived fibrin in the central nervous system (CNS) occur in autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, mechanisms linking blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption with neurodegeneration are poorly understood, and exploration of fibrin as a therapeutic target has been limited by its beneficial clotting functions. Here we report the generation of monoclonal antibody 5B8 targeted against the cryptic fibrin epitope γ377-395 to selectively inhibit fibrin-induced inflammation. 5B8 suppressed fibrin-induced proinflammatory gene expression, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation, and oxidative stress. In animal models of MS and AD, 5B8 entered the CNS and bound to parenchymal fibrin, and its therapeutic administration reduced innate immune activation and neurodegeneration without interfering with clotting. Thus, fibrin-targeting immunotherapy inhibits autoimmune- and amyloid-driven neurotoxicity and may have clinical benefit without globally suppressing innate immunity or interfering with coagulation in diverse neurological diseases.

Fibrin promotes oxidative stress and neuronal loss in traumatic brain injury via innate immune activation

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes significant blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, resulting in the extravasation of blood proteins into the brain. The impact of blood proteins, especially fibrinogen, on inflammation and neurodegeneration post-TBI is not fully understood, highlighting a critical gap in our comprehension of TBI pathology and its connection to innate immune activation. We combined vascular casting with 3D imaging of solvent-cleared organs (uDISCO) to study the spatial distribution of the blood coagulation protein fibrinogen in large, intact brain volumes and assessed the temporal regulation of the fibrin(ogen) deposition by immunohistochemistry in a murine model of TBI. Fibrin(ogen) deposition and innate immune cell markers were co-localized by immunohistochemistry in mouse and human brains after TBI. We assessed the role of fibrinogen in TBI using unbiased transcriptomics, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry for innate immune and neuronal markers in Fggγ390–396A knock-in mice, which express a mutant fibrinogen that retains normal clotting function, but lacks the γ390–396 binding motif to CD11b/CD18 integrin receptor. We show that cerebral fibrinogen deposits were associated with activated innate immune cells in both human and murine TBI. Genetic elimination of fibrin-CD11b interaction reduced peripheral monocyte recruitment and the activation of inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS) gene pathways in microglia and macrophages after TBI. Blockade of the fibrin-CD11b interaction was also protective from oxidative stress damage and cortical loss after TBI. These data suggest that fibrinogen is a regulator of innate immune activation and neurodegeneration in TBI. Abrogating post-injury neuroinflammation by selective blockade of fibrin’s inflammatory functions may have implications for long-term neurologic recovery following brain trauma.

Fibrinogen promotes autoimmunity and demyelination via chemokine release and antigen presentation [Rn]

Project description:Determination of the mechanism by which fibrinogen, a central blood coagulation protein drives immunological responses targeted to the CNS. Results identify the factors involved in the regulation and provide mechanistic basis. We subjected fibrin-stimulated microglia to microarray to determine the genes involved in innate and adaptive immune responses by fibrinogen deposited in the CNS after blood-brain barrier disruption. Rat microglia were stimulated with fibrin for 6 hr and subjected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymatrix microarrays. Two unstimulated and two fibrin-stimulated samples were generated.

MicroRNA Signature of Central Nervous System-Infiltrating Dendritic Cells in an Animal Model of Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:Innate immune cells are integral to the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), including multiple sclerosis (MS). Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent CD11c+ antigen presenting cells which function as critical regulators of adaptive immune responses, particularly in autoimmune diseases such as MS. The regulation of DC function in both the periphery and CNS compartment has not been fully elucidated. One limitation to studying the role of CD11c+ DCs in the CNS is that microglia have been shown to upregulate CD11c during inflammation, making it challenging to distinguish hematopoietically-derived DCs from microglia. Selective expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been shown to distinguish populations of innate cells within the CNS during neuro-inflammation and is proposed as a mechanism for the regulation of innate cell function. Using the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) murine model of MS, we characterized the expression of miRNAs in CD11c+ cells using a non-biased murine array. Several miRNAs, including miR-31, were enriched in CD11c+ cells within the CNS during EAE, but not LysM+ microglia. Moreover, to distinguish CD11c+ DCs from microglia that upregulate CD11c, we generated bone marrow chimeras and found that miR-31 expression was specific to bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs). Interestingly, miR-31 binding sites were enriched in mRNAs downregulated BMDCs that migrated into the CNS. Finally, miR-31 was enriched in DCs that migrated through an in vitro blood-brain barrier. Our findings suggest that miRNAs, including miR-31, may participate in the regulation of DCs entry into the CNS during EAE and could potentially represent therapeutic targets for CNS autoimmune diseases such as MS.

PKC modulator bryostatin-1 therapeutically targets CNS innate immunity to attenuate neuroinflammation and promote remyelination [invitro]

Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS), microglia and macrophages within the central nervous system (CNS) play an important role in determining the balance between myelin repair and demyelination/neurodegeneration. Phagocytic and regenerative functions of these CNS innate immune cells support remyelination, whereas chronic and maladaptive inflammatory activation promotes lesion expansion and disability, particularly in the progressive forms of MS. No currently approved drugs convincingly target microglia and macrophages within the CNS, contributing to the critical lack of therapies promoting remyelination and slowing progression in MS. Here, we found that the protein kinase C (PKC)-modulating drug bryostatin-1 (bryo-1), a CNS-penetrant compound with an established human safety profile, produces a shift in microglia and CNS macrophage transcriptional programs from pro-inflammatory to regenerative phenotypes, both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of microglia with bryo-1 stimulated scavenger pathways, phagocytosis, and secretion of factors that prevent the activation of neuroinflammatory reactive astrocytes while promoting neuroaxonal health and oligodendrocyte differentiation. In line with these findings, systemic treatment with bryo-1 augmented remyelination following a focal demyelinating injury in vivo. Our results demonstrate the potential of bryo-1 and possibly a wider class of PKC modulators as myelin regenerative and supportive agents in MS and other neurologic diseases through therapeutic targeting of microglia and CNS-associated macrophages.

Microglia-specific loss of PU.1 function rescues neurodegenerative phenotypes in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive decline of cognitive ability. An important component of AD, and other chronic neurodegenerative diseases, is generation of an innate inflammatory response within the CNS, characterized by activation of microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain. Transcription factor PU.1 has been known to play an important role in myeloid and lymphoid cell development, however its function in microglia and how it contributes to disease pathology is not well understood. Using transcriptional and chromatin state profiles during AD-like pathology in the CK-p25 mouse model of neurodegeneration, we showed that PU.1 specifically targets noncoding regions which regulate expression changes of immune response genes during AD, suggesting it may act as master regulator of microglia activation. Here, we examine the role of PU.1 in neurodegeneration by using a conditional knockout (cKO) cassette (Cx3cr1CreER+/-) to inducibly deplete PU.1 from microglia in the CK-p25 mouse model of neurodegeneration. We found that knocking out PU.1 rescues multiple neurodegenerative phenotypes. Specifically, PU.1 inhibition reduces neurodegeneration-specific increase in microglia cell number, improves neuronal survival and reverses functional synaptic plasticity deficits in the hippocampus of the CK-p25 mouse.

Inhibition of astrocytic DRD2 suppresses CNS inflammation in an animal model of multiple sclerosis [astrocyte]

Project description:Astrocyte activation is associated with progressive inflammatory demyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS). The molecular mechanisms underlying astrocyte activation remain incompletely understood. Recent studies have suggested that classical neurotransmitter receptors are implicated in the modulation of brain innate immunity. We investigated the role of dopamine signaling in the process of astrocyte activation. Here, we show the upregulation of dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) in reactive astrocytes in MS brain and non-canonical role of astrocytic DRD2 in MS pathogenesis. Mice deficient in astrocytic Drd2 exhibit a remarkable suppression of reactive astrocytes and inflammation which are highly correlated with the amelioration of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mechanistically, DRD2 regulates the expression of 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase which modulates NF-κB activity through protein kinase C-δ. Pharmacological blockade of astrocytic DRD2 with a DRD2 antagonist dehydrocorybulbine remarkably inhibits the inflammatory response in mice lacking Drd2 in neurons. Together, our findings reveal previously uncharted roles for a DRD2 in astrocyte activation during EAE-associated CNS inflammation. Its therapeutic inhibition may provide a potent lever to alleviate autoimmune diseases.

Transcriptional profiling and therapeutic targeting of oxidative stress in neuroinflammation (bulk RNA-seq dataset)

Project description:Oxidative stress is a central part of innate-immune induced neurodegeneration. However, the transcriptomic landscape of the central nervous system (CNS) innate immune cells contributing to oxidative stress is unknown, and therapies to target their neurotoxic functions are not widely available. Here, we provide the oxidative stress innate immune cell atlas in neuroinflammatory disease, and report the discovery of new druggable pathways. Transcriptional profiling of oxidative stress-producing CNS innate immune cells (Tox-seq) identified a core oxidative stress gene signature coupled to coagulation and glutathione pathway genes shared between a microglia cluster and infiltrating macrophages. Tox-seq followed by a microglia high-throughput screen (HTS) and oxidative stress gene network analysis, identified the glutathione regulating compound acivicin with potent therapeutic effects decreasing oxidative stress and axonal damage in chronic and relapsing models of multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus, oxidative stress transcriptomics identified neurotoxic CNS innate immune populations and may enable the discovery of selective neuroprotective strategies.
