Transcriptional abnormalities in iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes of individuals with primary progressive multiple sclerosis

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disorder in young adults and is classically defined as a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Although MS affects millions of people worldwide, its underlying cause remains unknown making discovery of effective treatments challenging. Whether intrinsic or extrinsic factors contribute to MS initiation and progression is still unclear. This is especially true for primary progressive MS (PPMS), the rarest form of the disease, in which progressive and irreversible loss of neurological function is often observed in the absence of an overt immune-inflammatory response. To test the hypothesis that intrinsic dysfunction in oligodendrocytes (OLs), the primary targets of damage in MS, may contribute to PPMS etiopathology, we differentiated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines derived from PPMS and healthy individuals into mature OLs to compare their transcriptional profile. PPMS derived OLs displayed hundreds of differentially expressed genes compared to control OLs, many associated with cell adhesion, apoptosis and inflammation, including the inflammasome component Nlrp2, which was highly upregulated. NLRP2 immunoreactivity in OLs was confirmed in post-mortem PPMS brain tissues, with higher expression than in control tissues. Altogether, our findings suggest that mature OLs in PPMS affected individuals carry intrinsic abnormalities that could contribute, at least in part, to the pathophysiology of this form of the disease.

Multiple sclerosis patient-derived CSF induces transcriptional changes in proliferating oligodendrocyte progenitors

Project description:This study provides an overview of the transcriptional signature of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) exposed to the CSF collected from multiple sclerosis patients with either a relapsing remitting disease course (RRMS) or a confirmed primary progressive diagnosis (PPMS). Using an Affymetrix microarray we were able to detect a set of common and unique genes for each treatment group. Gene ontology analysis revealed a common group of genes involved in protein transport, actin dynamics and response to stress and DNA damage, while the RRMS-specific genes were grouped according to protein complex biogenesis, nuclear transport and RNA processing. The transcriptional signature of progenitors exposed to PPMS was characterized by an up-regulation of the pro-differentiation adhesion molecule Lgals3. We confirmed increased protein levels of its gene product,product; galectin-3 in proliferating OPCs incubated with CSF from PPMS patients and also found a four-fold increase in mRNA transcript levels of galectin-3 in human post-mortem normal-appearing white matter samples of primary progressive MS patients when compared to non-neurological controls. This study will help to better understand the common and specific transcriptional changes induced in the different subtypes of MS and therefore find more specific molecular targets for each disease subtype. Comparison of transcriptional signature by microarray analysis of OPCs treated with RRMS and PPMS CSF.

Microarray expression analysis of PRF1 (perforin 1) haplotypes in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis

Project description:A genetic study of the PRF1 gene has shown association of several polymorphisms with multiple sclerosis (MS). Haplotype analysis identified risk haplotypes strongly associated with male patients having the primary-progressive form of MS (PPMS). Gene expression microarrays were performed in 10 male PPMS patients carrying the risk (n=6) and protective haplotypes (n=4) in order to identify pathways associated with the risk haplotypes. Pathway analysis revealed overrepresentation of the cell killing gene ontology category among down-regulated genes in patients carrying risk haplotypes compared with patients carrying protective haplotypes.

Human cerebrospinal fluid autoantibody lipid microarray profiling (Fig. 1A)

Project description:Lipids comprise 70% of the myelin sheath, and autoantibodies against lipids may contribute to the demyelination that characterizes multiple sclerosis (MS). We used lipid antigen microarrays and lipid mass spectrometry to identify bona fide lipid targets of the autoimmune response in MS brain and an animal model of MS to explore the role of the identified lipids in autoimmune demyelination. We found that autoantibodies in MS target a phosphate group in phosphatidylserine and oxidized phosphatidylcholine derivatives. Administration of these lipids ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppressing activation and inducing apoptosis of autoreactive T cells, effects mediated by the lipids' saturated fatty-acid side chains. Thus, phospholipids represent a natural anti-inflammatory class of compounds that have potential as novel therapeutics for MS. Fig. 1A. Lipid-array profiling of IgG+IgM antibody reactivity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from MS patients (relapsing remitting MS; secondary progressive MS; primary progressive MS), healthy controls, and other neurological disease controls. Lipid hits with the lowest FDR (q=0.048) were clustered according to their reactivity profiles. 48 different lipids were custom-spotted in duplicate using the CAMAG Automatic TLC Sampler (ATS4) robot to spray 200 nl of 10 to 100 pmol of lipids onto PVDF membranes affixed to the surface of microscope slides. The slides were probed with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 59 human patient samples. 60 slides total: 18 relapsing-remitting MS, 14 secondary-progressive MS, 1 primary-progressive MS, 21 other neurological disease, 5 healthy control, 1 secondary Ab alone (not included in this submission). CSF diluted 1/10. HRP-conjugated secondary Ab (goat anti-human IgM/IgG) diluted 1/8000. ECL for 3 minutes.

Cellular Senescence in Progenitor Cells Contributes to Diminished Remyelination Potential in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:Cellular senescence is a form of adaptive cellular physiology associated with aging. Cellular senescence causes a pro-inflammatory cellular phenotype that impairs tissue regeneration, has been linked to stress, and is implicated in several human neurodegenerative diseases. We had previously determined that neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) patient induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines failed to promote oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) maturation whereas NPCs from age-matched control cell lines did so efficiently. Herein, we report that expression of hallmarks of cellular senescence were identified in SOX2+ progenitor cells within white matter lesions of human progressive MS autopsy brain tissues and PPMS patient iPS-derived NPCs. Expression of cellular senescence genes in PPMS NPCs was found to be reversible by treatment with rapamycin which then enhanced PPMS NPC support for oligodendrocyte differentiation. A proteomic analysis of the PPMS NPC secretome identified high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), which was found to be a senescence-associated inhibitor of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Transcriptome analysis of OPCs revealed that senescent NPCs induced expression of epigenetic regulators mediated by extracellular HMGB1. Lastly, we determined that progenitor cells are a source of elevated HMGB1 in human white matter lesions. Based on these data, we conclude that cellular senescence contributes to altered progenitor cell functions in demyelinated lesions in MS. Moreover, these data implicate cellular aging and senescence as a process that contributes to remyelination failure in progressive MS which may impact how this disease is modeled and inform development of future myelin regeneration strategies.

Patient iPSC models reveal glia-intrinsic phenotypes in multiple sclerosis

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in neurological disability that worsens over time. While progress has been made in defining the immune system’s role in MS pathophysiology, the contribution of intrinsic CNS-cell dysfunction remains unclear. Here, we generated a collection of iPSC lines from people with MS spanning diverse clinical subtypes and differentiated them into glia-enriched cultures. Using single-cell transcriptomic profiling and orthogonal analyses, we observed several distinguishing characteristics of MS cultures pointing to glia-intrinsic disease mechanisms. We found that primary progressive MS-derived cultures contained fewer oligodendrocytes. Moreover, MS-derived oligodendrocyte lineage cells and astrocytes showed increased expression of immune and inflammatory genes, matching those of glia from MS postmortem brains. Thus, iPSC-derived MS models provide a unique platform for dissecting glial contributions to disease phenotypes independent of the peripheral immune system and identify potential glia-specific targets for therapeutic intervention.

Gsta4 restricts apoptosis in differentiating adult oligodendrocytes via Fas/Casp8/Bid-axis during homeostasis and remyelination

Project description:Arrest of oligodendrocyte (OL) differentiation and remyelination following myelin damage in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are associated with disease progression but the underlying mechanism are elusive. We show that Glutathione S-transferase 4α (Gsta4) is highly expressed during adult OL differentiation and that its loss prevents differentiation into myelinating OLs. Also, Gsta4 appeared to be a novel target for Clemastine, in clinical trial for MS. Over-expression of Gsta4 reduced the expression of Fas and activity along the mitochondria-associated Casp8/Bid-axis in adult pre-OLs from the corpus callosum, together promoting enhanced pre-OL survival during differentiation. The Gsta4-mediated input on apoptosis during adult OL differentiation was further verified in the LPC and EAE model, where Casp8 were reduced in pre-OLs with high Gsta4 expression in an immune response-independent fashion. Our results place Gsta4 as a key regulator of intrinsic mechanisms beneficial for OL differentiation and remyelination, and as a possible target for future MS therapies.

Gene expressions data of Multiple Sclerosis stages, Clinical Isolated Syndrome and healthy controls

Project description:Clinically Isolated Syndromes (CIS)represent the first clinical episode of an inflammatory demyelinating disorder suggestive of MS. Most CIS will develop relapsing-remitting MS (RR), characterized by clinical and inflammatory attacks followed by periods of recovery and stability. With time, most RR-MS subjects will evolve to secondary progressive MS (SP), with advancing neurological impairment in absence of recognizable relapses. A small fraction of MS subjects experience worsening of neurologic function from the onset and are thus defined primary progressive MS (PP). We analysed PBMC transcriptomes relative to 41 healthy subjects, 47 CIS, 49 RR, 22 SP and 27 PP patients and applied a semi-automated pipeline in R Bioconductor platform to perform preprocessing and differential expression analysis.

Altered oligodendrocyte heterogeneity in Multiple sclerosis.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte (OL) pathology is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, as they are involved in metabolic support of axons and functional cross-talk with other brain cells. Rodent OLs are heterogeneous, with developmental and biological differences, but the extent of heterogeneity in the normal human brain and its contribution to any changes of disease remains unknown. Here we performed single nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) from white matter (WM) areas of post mortem human brain both in control (Ctr) and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We identified several sub-clusters of oligodendroglia in the Ctr human WM, some similar to those in mouse, and defined new markers for these. Strikingly, some of these sub-clusters were under-represented in MS tissue, while others were more prevalent than in controls. There was a lack of OL precursor cells (OPCs) and OLs in an intermediate stage of differentiation in MS lesions and in normal appearing white matter (NAWM), suggesting either depletion by the disease or by a regenerative response. The differences in mature OL sub-clusters indicate different functional states of OLs in MS tissue and, as this is similar in NAWM to lesions, that MS is a more diffuse brain disease than the focal demyelinating lesions suggest. We were also able to identify new markers of different MS lesion subtypes. Our findings of an altered heterogeneity of oligodendroglia in MS may have an important contribution to our understanding of disease progression and may alter therapeutic approaches to MS.
