Brain antigens stimulate proliferation of T lymphocytes with a pathogenic phenotype in multiple sclerosis patients

ABSTRACT: A method to stimulate T lymphocytes with a broad range of brain antigens would facilitate identification of the autoantigens for multiple sclerosis and enable definition of the pathogenic mechanisms important for multiple sclerosis. In previous work we found the obvious approach of culturing leukocytes with homogenized brain tissue does not work because the brain homogenate suppresses antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation. We now report a method that substantially reduces the suppressive activity. We used this non-suppressive brain homogenate to stimulate leukocytes from multiple sclerosis patients and controls. We also stimulated with common viruses for comparison. We measured proliferation, selected the responding CD3+ cells with flow cytometry, and sequenced their transcriptomes for mRNA and T cell receptor sequences. The mRNA expression suggested the brain-responding cells from MS patients are potentially pathogenic. The T cell receptor repertoire of the brain-responding cells was clonal with minimal overlap with virus antigens.

Transcriptome analysis of human astrocytes upon FGF1 stimulation

Project description:In a previous study performed in our laboratory, the level of FGF1 RNA was found to be increased in remyelinated multiple sclerosis lesions compared to control brain (unpublished observation). Astrocytes play a key role in multiple sclerosis lesion formation. To shed light on potential FGF1-mediated functions in multiple sclerosis, the impact of FGF1 on astrocytes was investigated.

Clonally focused public and private T cells in resected brain tissue from surgeries to treat children with intractble seizures.

Project description:As part of a study of the involvement of adaptive immunity in pediatric patients who undergo surgery to treat their drug resistant seizures, brain-infiltrating leukocytes were isolated from epileptogenic brain tissue from a tuberous sclerosis complex patient. Combined single cell gene expression and T cell receptor sequencing of these leukocytes revealed that the two predominant T cell clonotypes in the resected tuber were CD8 effector T cells, indicating that they are very likely to be pathologically relevant.

Gene expression profile of a murin neuroblastoma cell line infected with the prion strain 22L

Project description:The underlying pathogenic mechanisms of prion infection are not well characterized. To study the effect of prion infection on gene expression in neuronal cell cultures, a neuroblastoma (N2a) cell clone was infected with either the mouse adapted prion strain 22L or exposed to uninfected brain homogenate as a negative control. Large scale expression analysis was performed using a cDNA microarray chip comprising about 21,000 spotted ESTs. Over hundred genes were identified that are differentially expressed in 22L-infected cells when compared to uninfected cells. Several of the identified changes in gene expression have also been reported for other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer`s disease. Keywords: cDNA arrays, prion, N2a, neuroblastoma cell line, murine A neuroblastoma (N2a) cell clone was infected with either the mouse adapted prion strain 22L or exposed to uninfected brain homogenate as a negative control. Eight replicates including four dye swap experiments have been performed for the comparison of prion infected cells versus control cells.

Data in support of Identification of brain antigens recognized by autoantibodies in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis-induced animals treated with Etomoxir or Interferon-beta

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis is a neurogenerative disease, where inflammation plays an essential role and the loss of tolerance for self produces proteins is a key feature. To investigate the autoimmune response, we use serum from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced rats and investigate autoantibody chance in connection with induced disease and treatment with Etomoxir or Interferon-beta. Several significant differences in suggested antigens were identified comparing healthy, diseased and treated groups, suggesting a role of these antigens in the progression of Multiple Sclerosis.

Histone Methyltransferase Ezh2 Controls Cell Adhesion and Migration through Direct Methylation of the Extra-Nuclear Protein-Talin

Project description:Previously, we suggested a cytosolic role for the histone-methyltransferase Ezh2 in regulating lymphocyte activation, but molecular mechanisms underpinning this extra-nuclear function remained unclear. Here we show that Ezh2 regulates integrin-signaling and adhesion dynamics of neutrophils and dendritic cells. Ezh2 deficiency impaired integrin-dependent transendothelial migration of innate leukocytes and restricted disease progression in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Direct methylation of talin, a key regulatory molecule in cell migration, by Ezh2 disrupted talin binding to F-actin and thereby promoted adhesion structure turnover. This regulatory effect was abolished by targeted disruption of Ezh2 interactions with Vav1. Our studies reveal a novel extra-nuclear function for Ezh2 in regulating adhesion dynamics with implications for leukocyte migration, immune responses and potentially pathogenic processes. Control and Ezh2-deficient bone marrow derived immature and mature dendritic cells were analyzed in triplicates
