Expression data from fibrin-stimulated macrophages treated with 5B8 antibody or IgG2b 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.

Chicken fibroblast transcriptome in collagen and fibrin matrix

Project description:Collagen- and fibrin-based gels are extensively used to study cell behaviour. However, 2D-3D, collagen-fibrin, and in vivo-in vitro comparisons of gene expression, cell shape and mechanotransduction have not been reported. Here we compared chick tendon fibroblasts (CTFs) at three stages of embryonic development with CTFs cultured in collagen- or fibrin-based tissue engineered constructs (TECs).

Fibrin drives thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19 [NK_Fibrin_in_vitro]

Project description:Life-threatening thrombotic events and neurological symptoms are prevalent in COVID-19 and are persistent in patients with long COVID experiencing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection1,2,3,4. Despite the clinical evidence1,5,6,7, the underlying mechanisms of coagulopathy in COVID-19 and its consequences in inflammation and neuropathology remain poorly understood and treatment options are insufficient. Fibrinogen, the central structural component of blood clots, is abundantly deposited in the lungs and brains of patients with COVID-19, correlates with disease severity and is a predictive biomarker for post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits1,5,8,9,10. Here we show that fibrin binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, forming proinflammatory blood clots that drive systemic thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19. Fibrin, acting through its inflammatory domain, is required for oxidative stress and macrophage activation in the lungs, whereas it suppresses natural killer cells, after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fibrin promotes neuroinflammation and neuronal loss after infection, as well as innate immune activation in the brain and lungs independently of active infection. A monoclonal antibody targeting the inflammatory fibrin domain provides protection from microglial activation and neuronal injury, as well as from thromboinflammation in the lung after infection. Thus, fibrin drives inflammation and neuropathology in SARS-CoV-2 infection, and fibrin-targeting immunotherapy may represent a therapeutic intervention for patients with acute COVID-19 and long COVID.

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.

Gene expression in TNF treated rat aortic rings cultured in collagen or fibrin gels.

Project description:Angiogenesis in cultures of rat aorta begins with neovessels sprouting from the aortic explant within the first three days of culture. We used microarrys to examine the effects of TNF-alpha on gene expression in both fibrin and collagen gels during the first 48 hours or culture. Rat aortic rings were cultured in either collagen or fibrin maticies. Half of the cultures from each matrix group were treated with 10ng/ml recombinant rat TNF-alpha, and half were left untreated. These cultures were used to prepare total RNA

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.
