Age-related demyelination and neurodegeneration susceptibility associates with meningeal neutrophil accumulation in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

ABSTRACT: People living with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience episodic central nervous system (CNS) white matter lesions instigated by autoreactive T cells. With age, MS patients show evidence of grey matter demyelination and experience devastating non-remitting symptomology. What drives progression is unclear and has been hampered by the lack of suitable animal models. Here we show that passive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by an adoptive transfer of young Th17 cells induces a non-remitting clinical phenotype that is associated with persistent leptomeningeal inflammation and cortical pathology in old, but not young SJL/J mice. While the quantity and quality of T cells did not differ in the brains of old vs young EAE mice, an increase in neutrophils and a decrease in B cells was observed in the brains of old mice. Neutrophils were also found in the leptomeninges of a subset of progressive MS patient brains that showed evidence of leptomeningeal inflammation and subpial cortical demyelination. Taken together, our data show that while Th17 cells initiate CNS inflammation, subsequent clinical symptoms and grey matter pathology are dictated by age and associated with other immune cells such as neutrophils.

RNAseq of human Multiple Sclerosis cortex with hnRNP A1 dysfunction

Project description:We sought to identify alterations in RNA expression and splicing in human grey matter from the brains of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) where we observe mislocalization of the RNA binding protein hnRNP A1. Thus, RNA was extracted from fresh-frozen post-mortem brain samples of three people with MS and compared to RNA extracted from fresh-frozen post-mortem brain samples of three healthy controls by RNAseq. Regions of interest in human grey matter were defined by immunostaining for hnRNP A1 to confirm grey matter regions with hnRNP A1 mislocalization in MS tissue, and grey matter regions with normal hnRNP A1 localization in control tissue, and the same region from an adjacent tissue section was dissected with a razor blade and used for RNA extraction and sequencing.

Comparative proteomic profiling identifies reciprocal expression of mitochondrial proteins between white and grey matter lesions from multiple sclerosis brains

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where ongoing demyelination and remyelination failure are the major factors for progressive neurological disability. In this report, we employed a comprehensive proteomic approach and immunohistochemical (IHC) validation to gaininsight into the pathobiological mechanisms that may be associated with the progressive phase of MS disease. Isolated proteins from myelinated regions, demyelinated white matter lesions (WMLs), and grey-matter lesions (GMLs) of well-characterized progressive MS brain tissues were subjected to label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ-MS). Using a system-biology approach, we detected increased expression of proteins belonging to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and oxidative phosphorylatio pathway in WMLs. Intriguingly, many of these proteins and pathways had opposite expression patterns in GMLs of progressive MS brains. A comparison to the huma MitoCarta database mapped the mitochondrial proteins to mitochondrial subunits in both WMLs and GMLs. Taken together, we provide evidence of opposite expression of mitochondrial proteins in response to demyelination of white- and grey-matter regions in progressive MS brain.

Oxidative damage and respiratory burst in Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:In this project we focused on white matter injury in relapsing remitting MS. We concentrated on material obtained from patients who suffered from fulminant active MS to identify possible sources for ROS production in relation to demyelination and neurodegeneration. To identify possible sources for ROS production in relation to demyelination and neurodegeneration in MS, we used genome wide microarray analysis of gene expression in carefully dissected lesion areas of patients with fulminant acute MS. Preceding the gene expression profiling all cases were characterized histologically and areas of interest were identified. We included 4 control cases, 2 active MS cases were we separated 3 distinct lesions areas (NAWM, initial lesion and early demyelinated lesion) and 1 active MS case were we separated 2 distinct lesion areas (NAWM and early demyelinated lesion). The RNA was isolated from those areas, amplified and hybridized to Agilent G4112A whole genome microarrays.

Multiple sclerosis cortical normal-appearing grey matter and control grey matter

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the brain. Among characteristics of MS pathology are cortical grey matter abnormalities, which have been linked to clinical signs such as cognitive impairment. To understand MS cortical grey matter pathogenesis, we performed differential gene expression analysis of MS normal appearing grey matter (NAGM) and control grey matter. HLA-DRB1 is the transcript with highest expression in MS NAGM with a bimodal distribution among the examined cases. Genotyping revealed that every case with the MS-associated HLA-DR15 haplotype also shows high HLA-DRB1 expression. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the higher expression of HLA-DRB1 in HLA-DRB1*15:01 cases at the protein level. Analysis of grey matter lesion size revealed a significant increase of cortical lesion size in cases with high HLA-DRB1 expression. Our data indicate that increased HLA-DRB1 expression in the brain of MS patients may be an important factor in how the HLA-DR15 haplotype contributes to MS risk in the target organ.

Transcriptional profiling of human microglia reveals grey-white matter heterogeneity and multiple sclerosis-associated changes

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.

Gene expression profiling of multiple sclerosis brain samples

Project description:Recent studies of cortical pathology in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis have shown that a more severe clinical course and the presence of extended subpial grey matter lesions with significant neuronal/glial loss and microglial activation are associated with meningeal inflammation, including the presence of lymphoid-like structures in the subarachnoid space in a proportion of cases. To investigate the molecular consequences of pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic molecules diffusing from the meninges into the underlying grey matter, we carried out gene expression profiling analysis of the motor cortex from 20 post-mortem multiple sclerosis brains with and without substantial meningeal inflammation and 10 non-neurological controls. Gene expression profiling of grey matter lesions and normal appearing grey matter not only confirmed the substantial pathological cell changes, which were greatest in multiple sclerosis cases with increased meningeal inflammation, but also demonstrated the upregulation of multiple genes/pathways associated with the inflammatory response. In particular, genes involved in tumour necrosis factor (TNF) signalling were significantly deregulated in MS cases compared to controls.

Janus-Like Opposing Roles of CD47 in Autoimmune Brain Inflammation in Human and Mice

Project description:Gene transcripts and proteins expressed during disease pathogenesis identify targets for therapy. We performed microarray analysis of histologically characterized multiple sclerosis (MS) brain lesions in comparison with control brain samples to identify differentially expressed molecules. We identified CD47 as a target of interest and studied its biology in MS and EAE. We isolated total RNA from acute plaque (AP), chronic active plaque (CAP) and chronic plaque (CP) from MS brains and white matter from healthy controls and performed microarray studies.
