Post-natal meningeal macrophages protect against viral neuroinfection

ABSTRACT: Due to the vital importance of the Central Nervous System (CNS), its potential infection and inflammation have to be tightly controlled. The surface of the CNS is connected to the periphery by a rich and complex tissue, the meninges. They contain a vast network of macrophages subdivided in at least two subpopulations endowed with elusive functions: a neonatal, MHC-II negative macrophage population, and an post-natal population expressing MHC-II. Using in situ-histocytometry, flow cytometry, and single-cell RNA sequencing approaches, we showed that those populations have opposite dynamic behaviors in response to in vivo peripheral challenges such as LPS, SARS-CoV2 and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), with an apparent contraction of the MHC-II+ population. Focusing on LCMV infection in experimental mouse models and using innovative pharmacological and genetic depletion strategies, we show that meningeal macrophages (MM) represent an early line of protection against this neuroinvasive pathogen. In their absence, specific areas in the meninges became highly infected, leading to fatal brain disease. While their intrinsic sensing of viral replication through the Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) was dispensable, sensing of IFNs through the STAT1 pathway played an important role in controlling viral spread. Unexpectedly, the post-natal MHC-II+ macrophage population had an important role in controlling neuroinfection, by shutting down biosynthesis pathways and efficiently blocking viral replication. This work helps understanding the spatial organization of the brain defense system and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in CNS protection.

Longitudinal expression data from CD4+ T cells responding to LCMV-Armstrong or LCMV-Clone 13

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD4+ T cells differentiate into effector CD4+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD4+ T cells. Memory CD4+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD4+ T cells become less functional. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional T cells from chronic viral infection, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD4+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-IAb GP66-specific CD4+ T cells were sorted using MHC-II tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD4+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays.

Identification of antigens presented by MHC for vaccines against tuberculosis

Project description:The immune response against tuberculosis relies, at least in part, on CD4+ T cells. Protective vaccines require the induction of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells via mycobacterial peptides presented by MHC class-II in infected macrophages. We have purified MHC class-I and MHC-II peptides and analysed them by mass spectrometry. We have successfully identified 97 mycobacterial peptides presented by MHC-II and 54 presented by MHC-I, from 76 and 41 antigens, respectively. The sequences of selected peptides were confirmed by spectral match validation and immunogenicity evaluated by IFN-gamma ELISpot against peripheral blood mononuclear cells from volunteers vaccinated with BCG, M.tb latently infected subjects or patients with tuberculosis disease. Three antigens were expressed in viral vectors, and evaluated as vaccine candidates alone or in combination in a murine aerosol M.tb challenge model. When delivered in combination, the three candidate vaccines conferred significant protection in the lungs and spleen compared with BCG alone, demonstrating proof-of-concept for this unbiased approach to identifying novel candidate antigens.

Changes in gene expression within the skin caused by antigen-specific memory CD4+ T cells during Vaccinia virus infection.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms used by memory CD4+ T cells to protect the skin from poxvirus infection, we infected LCMV immune mice with VacV on the right ear skin and VacV expressing the dominant MHC-II restricted epitope from LCMV (VacV-Ii-GP61) on the left ear skin. On day 3 after the co-infection, RNA from whole skin was isolated and gene expression was analyzed using RNA sequencing.

Infection drives long-term meningeal engraftment by inflammatory monocytes that impair central nervous system immunity [I]

Project description:Tissue-resident macrophages have an embryonic origin, but are replenished under steady state conditions in some tissues by blood monocytes that can adopt genotypic and phenotypic features of the residents. However, little is known about the residency and functional properties of infiltrating macrophages after an inflammatory challenge. The meninges of the central nervous system (CNS) are populated by a dense network of specialized macrophages that act as resident immune sentinels. Here we show that following lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection resident meningeal macrophages become activated by innate inflammatory cytokines, acquire viral antigen, and interact directly with infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), which leads to their depletion. Concurrently, the meninges are heavily infiltrated by peripherally-derived inflammatory monocytes that engraft the meningeal niche and remain in situ for months after viral clearance. This engraftment leads to phenotypic and functional changes in the pool of resident meningeal macrophages that depends in part on IFNγ signaling. These changes include loss of bacterial and immunoregulatory sensors that impede subsequent CNS immune reactions. Collectively, these data indicate that peripheral monocytes can engraft the meninges after an inflammatory challenge, imprinting the compartment with long-term defects in immune function.

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.

Longitudinal expression data from CD8+ T cells responding to LCMV-Armstrong or LCMV-Clone 13

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional exhausted T cells, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD8+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted using MHC-I tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD8+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays

Donor bone marrow-derived macrophage MHC II drives neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits during chronic GVHD in mice

Project description:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains the leading cause of non-relapse mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for haematological malignancies. Manifestations of GVHD in the central nervous system (CNS) present as neurocognitive dysfunction in up to 60% of patients, however, the mechanisms driving chronic GVHD in the CNS are yet to be elucidated. Our studies of murine chronic GVHD revealed a spatial learning and memory deficit associated with inflammation in the hippocampus underlain by persistent Ifng upregulation. By flow cytometry, we observed a proportional shift in the donor-derived T-cell population in the chronic GVHD brain from early CD8 dominance to later CD4 sequestration. Hippocampal RNA sequencing identified perturbations to structural and functional synapse-related gene expression, together with the upregulation of genes associated with IFN-γ responses and antigen presentation. Neuroinflammation in the cortex of mice and humans during acute GVHD was recently shown to be mediated by resident microglia-derived TNF. In contrast, infiltration of pro-inflammatory MHC class II+ donor bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) was identified as a distinguishing feature of CNS chronic GVHD. Donor BMDM, which comprised up to 50% of the CNS myeloid population, exhibited a transcriptional signature distinct from resident microglia. Recipients of MHC class II knockout bone marrow grafts exhibited attenuated neuroinflammation, suggestive of a critical role for donor BMDM in chronic CNS GVHD. Our identification of disease mediators distinct from those in the acute phase indicates the necessity to pursue alternative therapeutic targets for late-stage neurological manifestations.

Gene expression shifts in yellow-bellied marmots prior to natal dispersal

Project description:We evaluated genome wide expression patterns in wild yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) prior to either dispersing from or remaining philopatric to their natal colony site. We identified differential expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and muscle generation. Further, we found a network of genes involved in extra-cellular immune function and MHC class II pathways that increased in dispersers. Our results provide novel insights into the fundamental molecular changes required for natal dispersal in vertebrates.

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

Project description: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.
