Heterogeneity of meningeal B cells reveals a lymphopoietic niche at the CNS borders [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The meninges contain adaptive immune cells that provide immunosurveillance of the CNS. These cells are thought to derive from the systemic circulation. Through single cell analyses, confocal 35 imaging, bone marrow chimeras and parabiosis experiments, we show that meningeal B cells derive locally from the calvaria, which harbors a bone marrow niche for hematopoiesis. B cells reach the meninges from the calvaria through specialized vascular connections. This calvaria- meningeal path of B cell development may provide the CNS with a constant supply of B cells educated by CNS antigens. Conversely, we show that a subset of antigen-experienced B cells that 40 populate the meninges in aging mice are blood-borne. These results identify a private source for meningeal B cells which may help maintain immune privilege within the CNS.

CNS antigen-specific control of early B-lineage development in the meninges

Project description:In this work we report that early developing B cells present in the meninges of mice at all ages. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed a consecutive trajectory of meningeal developing B cells in mice and non-human primates (NHPs). Parabiosis together with lineage tracing of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) showed that meningeal developing B cells are continuously replenished from the HSC-derived progenitors via a circulation-independent route. Importantly, autoreactive immature B cells which recognize myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a central nervous system (CNS)-specific antigen, are eliminated from the meninges but not BM. Furthermore, genetic deletion of MOG tolerated the development/presence/residence of self-reactive B cells in the meninges. Thus, we propose that meninges function as a unique reservoir for B cell development, allowing in situ negative selection of CNS-antigen-autoreactive B cell clones to ensure a local non-self-reactive immune repertoire.

Multi-omics and 3D-imaging reveal bone heterogeneity and unique calvaria cells in in mice and humans

Project description:The meninges of the brain are an important component of neuroinflammatory response. Diverse immune cells move from the calvaria marrow into the dura mater via recently discovered skull-meninges connections (SMCs). However, how the calvaria bone marrow is different from the other bones and whether and how it contributes to human diseases remain unknown. Using multi-omics approaches and whole mouse transparency we reveal that bone marrow cells are highly heterogeneous across the mouse body. The mouse calvaria and the human skull harbors the most distinct molecular signature with hundreds of differentially expressed genes and proteins when compared to other bones. Our study indicates that the calvaria is more than a physical barrier, and its immune cells may present new ways to control brain pathologies.

Multi-omics and 3D-imaging reveal bone heterogeneity and unique calvaria cells in neuroinflammation

Project description:Diverse immune cells move from the calvaria marrow into the dura mater via recently discovered skull-meninges connections (SMCs). Yet, how the calvaria bone marrow is different from the other bones and whether it plays a special role in human diseases remain unknown. Using multi-omics approaches and whole mouse transparency we reveal that bone marrow cells are highly heterogeneous across the mouse body. The calvaria harbors the most distinct molecular signature with hundreds of differentially expressed genes and proteins. Acute brain injury induces skull-specific outcomes including increased calvaria cell numbers. Moreover, TSPO-PET imaging of stroke, dementia and multiple sclerosis patients demonstrate increased inflammation in the human skull, mirroring the underlying brain inflammation.

Cranial photo-immunologic regulation along the skull-meninges-brain axis for promoting recovery from ischemic brain injury

Project description:Stroke involves in the interaction between central and peripheral immune systems. Skull bone marrows serve as reservoirs for immune cells in brain borders, and can rapidly respond to perturbations in the brain environment. Hence, targeting the skull bone marrow to modulate neuroimmune communications along the calvaria-meninges-brain axis would potentially improve stroke prognosis. Here, we successfully achieved cranial immunomodulation via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the interparietal region, which was characterized by rich marrow cavities and channels connecting the skull and meninges. Utilizing the recently-developed long-term clearing cranial window that ensured the integrity of skull, we discovered that the cranial photo-immunologic regulation (CPR) could promote cerebrovascular regeneration and aid in neurovascular repair post ischemic stroke. Single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that meninge could be a crucial neuroimmune interface for ischemic stroke-induced immune responses. And, CPR could restore the stroke-induced alterations in cellular gene expression, especially meningeal B cells. Further we demonstrated that CPR could effectively alleviate the excessive suppression of meningeal B cell activation caused by ischemic stroke. This work opens avenues for immunoregulation through the skull-meninges-brain axis and provides valuable insights for immunomodulatory therapies in brain diseases.

Single cell transcriptomic analyses of the developing meninges reveal meningeal fibroblast diversity and function

Project description:The meninges are a multilayered structure composed of fibroblasts, blood and lymphatic vessels, and immune cells. Meningeal fibroblasts secrete a variety of factors that control CNS development, yet strikingly little is known about their heterogeneity or development. Using single cell sequencing, we report distinct transcriptional signatures for fibroblasts in the embryonic dura, arachnoid and pial. We define new markers for meningeal layers and show conservation in human meninges. We find that embryonic meningeal fibroblasts are transcriptionally distinct between brain regions and identify a regionally localized pial sub-population marked by expression of µ-Crystallin. Developmental analysis reveals a progressive, ventral to dorsal maturation of telencephalic meninges. Our studies present an unprecedented view of meningeal fibroblasts, providing a molecular profile of embryonic meningeal fibroblasts by layer that yield insights into mechanisms of meninges development and function.

Characterization of meningeal type 2 innate lymphocytes and their response to CNS injury

Project description:The meningeal space is occupied by a diverse repertoire of innate and adaptive immune cells. CNS injury elicits a rapid immune response that affects neuronal survival and recovery, but the role of meningeal inflammation in CNS injury remains poorly understood. Here we describe group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) as a novel cell type resident in the healthy meninges that is activated following CNS injury. ILC2s are present throughout the naïve mouse meninges, though are concentrated around the dural sinuses, and have a unique transcriptional profile relative to lung ILC2s. After spinal cord injury, meningeal ILC2s are activated in an IL-33 dependent manner, producing type 2 cytokines. Using RNAseq, we characterized the gene programs that underlie the ILC2 activation state. Finally, addition of wild type lung-derived ILC2s into the meningeal space of IL-33R-/- animals improves recovery following spinal cord injury. These data characterize ILC2s as a novel meningeal cell type that responds to and functionally affects outcome after spinal cord injury, and could lead to new therapeutic insights for CNS injury or other neuroinflammatory conditions.

Bacteria hijack a neuro-immune axis in meninges to facilitate brain invasion

Project description:The meninges are densely innervated by nociceptive sensory neurons that mediate pain and headache. How pain and neuro-immune interactions impact meningeal host defenses is unclear. Bacterial meningitis causes life-threatening infections of the meninges and central nervous system (CNS), affecting over one million people a year. Here we find that Nav1.8+ neuron signaling to immune cells in the meninges via the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) exacerbates bacterial meningitis. Nociceptor ablation reduced meningeal and brain invasion by two bacterial pathogens: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus agalactiae. S. pneumoniae activated nociceptors via Pneumolysin to release CGRP, which acts through its receptor RAMP1 on meningeal macrophages to inhibit chemokine expression, neutrophil recruitment and antimicrobial defenses. Macrophage-specific RAMP1 deficiency or blockade of RAMP1 signaling enhanced immune responses and bacterial clearance in meninges and brain. Therefore, targeting a neuro-immune axis in the meninges can enhance host defenses and may be a potential treatment for bacterial meningitis.

A single-cell atlas reveals heterogeneity of meningeal immunity in a mouse model of Methyl CpG binding protein 2 deficiency

Project description:Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a DNA methylation reader protein, and mutations in MeCP2 are the major cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). Increasing evidence has shown that dysregulated immunity and chronic subclinical inflammation are linked to MeCP2 deficiency and contribute to RTT development and deterioration. The meninges surrounding the central nervous system (CNS) contain a wide repertoire of immune cells that participate in immune surveillance of the CNS and influence brain functions. However, the characterization and role of meningeal immunity in CNSs with MeCP2 deficiency remain poorly understood. We applied a single-cell sequence to profile Mecp2 deficient meningeal immune cells from the dura mater, which has been reported to have the most numerous meningeal immune cells in homeostasis. The data showed that the meninges of Mecp2-null mice contained the same diverse immune cell populations as control mice and showed an up-regulation of immune-related processes. B cell populations were great larger in Mecp2-null mice than in control mice, and the expression of genes coding for immune globulins was remarkably higher. For T cells, Mecp2 deficient meninges were more enriched in cytotoxic CD8+ T cells than in the control. With increased interferon-γ transcription in T and natural killer cells, meningeal macrophages showed less suppression and were more active in Mecp2 deficiency mice. Our study provides novel insights into meningeal immunity, which is a less studied aspect of neuroimmune interactions in Mecp2 mutated diseases and offers an essential resource for comparative analyses and data exploration for a better understanding of the functional role of meningeal immunity in RTT.
