Gene expression of white and grey matter demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter from Multiple Sclerosis leukocortial lesions of human post-mortem tissue

ABSTRACT: Using laser capture microscopy, white (WM) and grey matter (GM) demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter was collected from histologically verified leukocortical lesions from snap-frozen human post mortem tissuederived from Multiple Sclerosis patients. Our data shows large differences in gene expression in WM and GM demyelinated areas (compared to their respective normal appearing matter) even when the demyelinated areas are spatially connected such as in leukocortical lesions. Thus, we show that WM demyelinated areas and GM demyelinated areas are distinct entities with distinct pathology. Therefore findings observed in WM demyelinated areas cannot be generalized to GM demyelinated areas.

Transcript Profiles of Microglia/Macrophage Cells at the Borders of Chronic Active and Subpial Gray Matter Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:Microglia/macrophages line the border of demyelinated lesions in both cerebral white matter and cortex in multiple sclerosis brains. Microglia/macrophages associated with chronic white-matter lesions are thought to be responsible for slow lesion expansion and disability progression in progressive multiple sclerosis whereas those lining gray matter lesions are less studied. Profiling these microglia/macrophages could help to focus therapies on genes or pathways specific to lesion expansion and disease progression. We compared the morphology and transcript profiles of microglia/macrophages associated with borders of white matter (WM line) and subpial gray matter lesions (GM line) using laser capture microscopy. We performed RNAseq on isolated cells followed by immunocytochemistry to determine distribution of translational products of transcripts increased in WM line. Cells in WM line appear activated with shorter processes and larger cell bodies, whereas those in GM Line appear more homeostatic with smaller cell bodies and multiple thin processes. Transcript profiling revealed 176 genes in WM lines and 111 genes in GM lines as differentially expressed. Transcripts associated with immune activation and iron homeostasis were increased in WM line whereas genes belonging to canonical Wnt signaling pathway were increased in GM line. We propose that mechanisms of demyelination and dynamics of lesion expansion are responsible for differential transcript expression in WM lines and GM lines, and posit that increased expression of Fc epsilon receptor, spleen tyrosine kinase, and Bruton’s tyrosine kinase play a key role in regulating microglia/macrophage function at the border of chronic active white matter lesions.

Transcriptional profiling of brain CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells reveals dominant presence in white and grey matter (Circulation)

Project description:The human brain is populated by perivascular CD8+ and CD4+ T cells with a tissue-resident memory T (TRM)-cell phenotype. In multiple sclerosis (MS), these cells associate with white matter (WM) and, to a lesser extent, grey matter (GM) lesions. We here investigated the transcriptional and functional profile of brain-resident T cells. Of n=11 subsequent post-mortem brain donors, we isolated CD8+ and CD4+ effector memory and effector memory re-expressing CD45RA T cells from blood and CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells from corpus callosum WM and cortical GM. Additionally, brain CD69+ T cells were sorted from subcortical WM, corpus callosum WM, and medulla WM/GM of n=3–5 brain donors as well as from paired normal-appearing WM and GM and from WM and GM lesions of n=6 MS brain donors. In all donors, WM and GM T cells were overwhelmingly CD69+CD103+/-. Bulk RNA sequencing of CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells revealed TRM-cell signatures, as marked by differential expression of, among others, SELL (CD62L), ITGA1 (CD49a), and S1PR1. Notably, gene expression hardly differed between lesional and normal-appearing WM CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells in MS brains. Genes up-regulated in brain TRM cells were MS4A1 (CD20) and SPP1 (osteopontin, OPN). OPN is also abundantly expressed by microglia and has been shown to inhibit T-cell activity. In line with the increased presence of OPN in active MS lesions, we noticed a reduced production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-2, TNF, and IFNγ by MS lesion-derived CD8+ and CD4+ T cells ex vivo. This study discloses essential characteristics of human brain CD8+ and CD4+ TRM cells in non-MS and MS post-mortem WM and GM, reports OPN as a generic product of brain-resident immune cells, and shows a tight control of the activation state of TRM cells in MS lesions.
