Microglial expression of CD83 governs cellular activation and restrains autoimmune neuroinflammation

ABSTRACT: Microglial activation during neuroinflammation is crucial for coordinating the immune response against neuronal tissue and the initial response of microglia determines the severity of neuroinflammatory diseases. CD83 has been associated with early activation of microglia in various disease settings albeit its functional relevance for microglial biology was still elusive. Thus, we conducted a thorough assessment of CD83 regulation in microglia as well as its impact on microglial mediated neuroinflammation. Here, we describe for the first time that CD83 expression in microglia is not only associated with cellular activation but also with pro-resolving functions. Conditional deletion of CD83 causes malfunctioning responses to myelin debris, which results in an over-activated state during autoimmune neuroinflammation. Subsequently, CD83-deficient microglia recruit more pathogenic immune cells to the central nervous system and deteriorate resolving mechanism, which exacerbates the disease. Thus, CD83 in microglia orchestrates cellular activation and consequently, also resolution of neuroinflammation.

Project description:Abnormal accumulation of aggregated proteins and sustained microglial activation are important contributors of neurodegenerative process in neurological diseases. Recent studies have shown that aggregation-prone proteins, such as a-synuclein, the protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), are released from neuronal cells and thus present in the extracellular fluid, pointing to the possible paracrine effects of these proteins on microglial immune responses. However, the mechanism underlying the disease-associated microglial activation and the role of neuronal proteins in this process remain unknown. Here, we show that extracellular a-synuclein released from neuronal cells is an endogenous ligand of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and activates microglia, which in turn induces neurodegeneration. Interaction between neuron-released a-synuclein and TLR2 and subsequent activation of the TLR2 signaling were demonstrated comprehensively by using computational modeling of signaling network and by the experimental validation in TLR2-deficient microglia both in vitro and in vivo. In contrast to the neuron-released a-synuclein, recombinant a-synuclein proteins, including monomer, oligomer, fibril, or nitrated forms, were not able to interact or activate TLR2, suggesting that neuronal cells have a mechanism of enriching specific forms of a-synuclein capable of activating TLR2 during the process of releasing this protein. Taken together, the results suggest that both neuron-released extracellular a-synuclein and TLR2 might be novel therapeutic targets for modifying neuroinflammation in PD and related neurodegenerative diseases. We collected culture media from differentiated SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing either human a-synuclein (alpha-SCM) or beta-galactosidase (LZCM) and treat these media to primary rat microglia at the concentration of a-synuclein of 1.1M. Transcriptome analyses with microglial cells treated with either aSCM or LZCM at two different time points, 6 h and 24 h.
