Project description:RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person’s cancer proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF may make a stronger immune response and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with CNS lymphoma.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protects the central nervous system (CNS) and analyzing CSF aids the diagnosis of CNS diseases, but our understanding of CSF leukocytes remains superficial. Here, using single cell transcriptomics, we identified a specific border-associated composition and transcriptome of CSF leukocytes. Multiple sclerosis (MS) – an autoimmune disease of the CNS – increased transcriptional diversity in blood, but increased cell type diversity in CSF including a higher abundance of cytotoxic phenotype T helper cells. A new analytical approach, named cell set enrichment analysis (CSEA) identified a cluster-independent increase of follicular T helper (TFH) cells potentially driving the known expansion of B lineage cells in the CSF in MS. In mice, TFH cells accordingly promoted B cell infiltration into the CNS and the severity of MS animal models. Immune mechanisms in MS are thus highly compartmentalized and indicate ongoing local T/B cell interaction.

Project description:The choroid plexus (ChP) is a protective epithelial barrier that filters blood and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), an important fluid for nutrient maintenance in the brain and transport of signalling molecules. Here, we establish human ChP organoids with a selective epithelial barrier that secrete CSF-like fluid in self-contained compartments. We show that this in vitro barrier exhibits the same selectivity to small molecules as the in vivo counterpart, and that ChP-CSF organoids can predict CNS permeability of novel compounds. Characterization of the transcriptomic signature of ChP organoids and the proteomic make-up of the CSF-like fluid demonstrate a high degree of similarity to the in vivo counterpart. We leverage the fact that these organoids represent the tissue in isolation to examine their cellular make-up, and explore the specialized epithelial subtypes involved in de novo production of key CSF components. This reveals the presence of heterogeneous epithelial ChP populations, including a newly identified myoepithelial cell type, and uncovers human-specific factors secreted by these specialized cell types.

Project description:Objectives: Central nervous system (CNS) infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to discover protein biomarkers that could rapidly and accurately identify the likely cause of the infections, essential for clinical management and improving outcome. Methods: We applied liquid chromatography tandem mass-spectrometry on 45 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from a cohort of adults with/without CNS infections to discover potential diagnostic biomarkers. We then validated the diagnostic performance of a selected biomarker candidate in an independent cohort of 364 consecutively treated adults with CNS infections admitted to a referral hospital in Vietnam. Results: In the discovery cohort, we identified lipocalin 2 (LCN2) as a potential biomarker of bacterial meningitis (BM) other than tuberculous meningitis. The analysis of the validation cohort showed that LCN2 could discriminate BM from other CNS infections (including tuberculous meningitis, cryptococcal meningitis and viral/antibody-mediated encephalitis), with the sensitivity: 0.88 (95% confident interval (CI): 0.77-0.94), the specificity: 0.91 (95%CI: 0.88-0.94) and the diagnostic odd ratio: 73.8 (95%CI: 31.8-171.4)). LCN2 outperformed other CSF markers (leukocytes, glucose, protein and lactate) commonly used in routine care worldwide. The combination of LCN2, CSF leukocytes, glucose, protein and lactate resulted in the highest diagnostic performance for BM (area under receiver-operating-characteristic-curve 0.96; 95%CI: 0.93-0.99). Conclusions: Our results suggest that LCN2 is a sensitive and specific biomarker for discriminating BM from a broad spectrum of other CNS infections. A prospective study is needed to assess the diagnostic utility of LCN2 in the diagnosis and management of CNS infections..

Project description:The meningeal lymphatic network—housed within the dural meninges surrounding the brain— is critical for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Through continuous brain interstitial fluid (ISF) mixing with CSF via the glymphatic system, this lymphatic network facilitates the removal of central nervous system (CNS) waste. During aging and in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), attenuated meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes the buildup of toxic misfolded proteins—including amyloid beta—in the CNS. Alleviating this age-related meningeal lymphatic dysfunction represents a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate AD pathology. However, the mechanisms underlying this lymphatic decline remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that age-related alterations in meningeal immunity contribute to meningeal lymphatic impairment. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of dural lymphatic endothelial cells in aged mice demonstrated a response signature to the cytokine IFNγ, which was elevated in the aged dura due to meningeal T cell accumulation. Chronic elevation of IFNγ in the meninges of young mice via AAV-mediated overexpression altered lymphatic adherans junctions and impaired CSF drainage to deep cervical lymph nodes—comparable to the deficits observed in aged mice. Direct disruption of lymphatic junctions via CSF-delivered VE-Cadherin disrupting antibodies was sufficient to phenocopy impairments in CSF drainage. Therapeutically, IFNγ neutralization in aged mice alleviated age-related impairments in meningeal lymphatic function. These data suggest manipulation of meningeal immunity as a viable therapeutic target to normalize CSF drainage in aged mice and alleviate the pathology in AD mice associated with impaired waste removal.

Project description:Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSL) is a diffuse large B cell lymphoma confined to the CNS. In order to elucidate its peculiar organ tropism, we generated recombinant antibodies (recAb) identical with the BCR of a series of 23 PCNSL from immunocompetent patients. While none of the recAb showed self-reactivity upon testing with common autoantigens, they recognized 1547 proteins present on a large-scale protein microarray. Interestingly, proteins recognized by the recAb are physiologically expressed by CNS neurons (GRINL1A, centaurin-α, BAIAP2). Furthermore, 87% (20/23) of the recAb including all antibodies derived from IGHV4 34 using PCNSL recognized galectin-3, which was upregulated on microglia/macrophages, astrocytes, and cerebral endothelial cells upon CNS invasion by PCNSL. Thus, PCNSL Ig may recognize CNS proteins as self-antigens. Their interaction may contribute to BCR signaling with sustained NF-κB activation and, ultimately, may foster tumor cell proliferation and survival. These data may also explain, at least in part, the affinity of the tumor cells of PCNSL to the CNS. Recombinant antibodies (recAb) identical with the BCR of a series of 23 PCNSL from immunocompetent patients.

Project description:Primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL) is a rare extra-nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and accounts for 3%-4% of central nervous system tumors. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of cerebrospinal fluid derived extracellular vesicles in PCNSL. Extracellular vesicles(EVs) are nanoscale vesicles with bilayer lipid membrane released by almost all cell types. EVs are present in body fluids, including urine, blood and CSF. Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) is a colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord and acts as lymph in the central nervous system. CSF-derived EVs contain proteins from neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglias. Studies of CSF EVs are mainly limited by the amount of EVs isolated from per milliliter of CSF and the volume of CSF acquired from one patient. Here, we provide a label-free quantitative phospho-proteome profiling of EVs separated from PCNSL and non-PCNSL CSF samples by an earlier introduced functional magnetic beads called EVTRAP together with highly sensitive timsTOF Pro.

Project description:Treatment and prophylaxis of the central nervous system (CNS) is a critical component of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. However, CNS-directed therapies are a significant cause of morbidity and CNS relapse remains a cause of treatment failure. CNS-directed ALL therapies must target leukemia cells within cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a fluid that is compositionally distinct from plasma and has been shown to impact leukemia biology. Herein, we demonstrate that human CSF attenuates the potency and efficacy of anti-folate drugs including methotrexate, the primary CNS-directed chemotherapeutic for over six decades. Importantly, this effect of CSF on leukemia methotrexate sensitivity was reversible. Additional mechanistic studies support that diminished proliferation and activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) in leukemia cells in CSF contribute to this resistance. Our findings suggest potential strategies to enhance methotrexate efficacy in CNS-directed ALL therapy and highlight the need to critically reassess even established standards of care.
