Endogenous self-peptides guard CNS immune privilege

ABSTRACT: The central nervous system (CNS), despite the presence of strategically positioned anatomical barriers designed to protect it, is not entirely isolated from the immune system1,2. In fact, it remains physically connected to and can be influenced by the peripheral immune system. How the CNS retains such responsiveness while maintaining an immunologically unique status remains an outstanding conundrum. In searching for molecular cues that derive from the CNS and allow its direct communication with the immune system, we discovered a repertoire of CNS-derived endogenous regulatory self-peptides presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II molecules at the CNS borders. During homeostasis, a preponderance of these regulatory self-peptides were found to be bound to MHC II molecules throughout the path of lymphatic drainage from the brain to its surrounding meninges and its draining cervical lymph nodes. With neuroinflammatory disease, however, the presentation of regulatory self-peptides diminished. Upon boosting the presentation of these regulatory self-peptides, a population of suppressor CD4+ T cells could be expanded, controlling CNS autoimmunity in a CTLA-4 and TGF dependent manner. This unexpected discovery of CNS-derived autoimmune self-peptides may be the molecular key adapting the CNS to maintain continuous dialogue with the immune system while balancing overt autoreactivity. This sheds new light on how we conceptually think about and therapeutically target neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

MHC-II peptidome of the CNS reveals endogenous guardian peptides

Project description:The central nervous system (CNS), despite the presence of strategically positioned anatomical barriers designed to protect it, is not entirely isolated from the immune system. In fact, it remains physically connected to and can be influenced by the peripheral immune system. How the CNS retains such responsiveness while maintaining “immune privilege” remains an outstanding conundrum. In searching for molecular cues that derive from the CNS and allow its direct communication with the immune system, we discovered a repertoire of CNS-derived endogenous guardian peptides presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II molecules at the CNS borders. During homeostasis, a preponderance of these guardian peptides were found to be bound to MHC II molecules throughout the path of lymphatic drainage from the brain to its surrounding meninges and its draining cervical lymph nodes. With neuroinflammatory disease, however, the presentation of guardian peptides was diminished. Fascinatingly, boosting the presence of these guardian peptides reinforced a population of suppressor CD4+ T cells and significantly reduced CNS autoimmune disease. This unexpected discovery of CNS-derived autoimmune guardian peptides may be the molecular key adapting the CNS to receive information and to maintain continuous dialogue with the immune system while balancing overt autoreactivity. This sheds new light on how we conceptually think about and therapeutically target neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Pharmacological intervention of PRMT5 links the E2F pathway with tumor associated antigens derived from the non-coding genome

Project description:E2F activity impacts on an extensive gene network mediated in part by PRMT5-dependent arginine methylation which widens its functional role in gene expression control. We show here that the PRMT5-E2F1 axis has an additional and unexpected level of control through facilitating expression of the non-coding genome where long non-coding (lnc) genes are direct targets for PRMT5 and E2F1. The expression of some lncRNAs results in their translation into small proteins, which then give rise to peptides which populate the MHC class I antigen presentation machinery. Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 alters the expression of lncRNA genes and thereby the repertoire lncRNA-derived peptides presented as MHC bound peptides. Delayed tumor growth upon PRMT5 inhibition reflects an influx of lncRNA peptide-specific cytotoxic CD8 T cells. When presented to the immune system as a stand-alone therapeutic vaccine, lncRNA-derived MHC-bound peptides are immunogenic and drive a potent anti-tumor T cell response with a significant delay in tumor growth. Our results show that the PRMT5 through its control of the E2F pathway influences expression of the non-coding genome and derived peptides presented to the immune system, which can subsequently be harnessed to deliver an effective stand-alone cancer vaccine. These results have important implications for deploying pharmacological intervention to manipulate gene expression and antigen presentation to the immune system and deploying new types of cancer vaccine. They also indicate that cell cycle control through the E2F pathway is intimately connected with immune recognition.

Sontag2017 - Dynamic model of immune responses to antigen presentation by tumor or pathogen

Project description:This model of the immune system response to antigen presentation is based on the publication: Eduardo D.Sontag (2017) 'A Dynamic Model of Immune Responses to Antigen Presentation Predicts Different Regions of Tumor or Pathogen Elimination', Cell Systems, 4(2) DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2016.12.003 Comment: This model is based on the "toy model" as described by Equations 1A-1C from the manuscript and the system represented by Equation 2, which exhibits a type of incoherent feedforward loop (IFFL). Abstract: The immune system must discriminate between agents of disease and an organism’s healthy cells. While the identification of an antigen as self/non-self is critically important, the dynamic features of antigen presentation may also determine the immune system’s response. Here, we use a simple mathematical model of immune activation to explore the idea of antigen discrimination through dynamics. We propose that antigen presentation is coupled to two nodes, one regulatory and one effecting the immune response, through an incoherent feedforward loop and repressive feedback. This circuit would allow the immune system to effectively estimate the increase of antigens with respect to time, a key determinant of immune reactivity in vivo. Our model makes the prediction that tumors growing at specific rates evade the immune system despite the continuous presence of antigens indicating disease, a phenomenon closely related to clinically observed “two-zone tolerance.” Finally, we discuss a plausible biological instantiation of our circuit using combinations of regulatory and effector T cells.

Immunopeptidomics reveals determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen presentation on MHC class I (SureQuant data)

Project description:CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but the principles that govern presentation of Mtb peptides on MHC class I (MHC-I) on the surface of infected macrophages for CD8+ T cell recognition are incompletely understood. Here, we use internal standard parallel reaction monitoring (IS-PRM, also known as SureQuant) to rigorously validate identifications of Mtb-derived MHC-I peptides obtained in data-dependent MS analyses. We further use SureQuant to quantify presentation of Mtb peptides derived from the secreted effector proteins EsxA and EsxJ across multiple experimental conditions. We show that presentation of both EsxA- and EsxJ-derived peptides requires the activity of the mycobacterial ESX-1 type VII secretion system, possibly indicating that ESX-1-mediated phagosome membrane damage allows Mtb proteins to access MHC-I antigen processing pathways. We show that this requirement is independent of type I interferon signaling that occurs downstream of phagosome damage. Treatment with inhibitors of conventional proteolytic pathways involved in MHC-I antigen processing inhibits presentation of self peptides as expected, but does not inhibit presentation of Mtb peptides, implying an alternative or redundant mechanism of processing.

Quantitative Measurement of the Requirement of Diverse Protein Degradation Pathways in MHC Class I Peptide Presentation

Project description:The adaptive immune system distinguishes self from non-self by surveying peptides generated from degradation of intracellular proteins that are loaded onto MHC Class I molecules for display on the cell surface. While early studies reported that the bulk of cell surface MHC Class I complexes require the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) for their generation, this conclusion has been challenged. To better understand MHC Class I peptide origins, we sought to carry out a comprehensive, quantitative census of the MHC Class I peptide repertoire in the presence and absence of UPS activity. We introduce optimized methodology to enrich for authentic Class I-bound peptides in silico and then quantify by mass spectrometry their relative amounts upon perturbation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Whereas most peptides are dependent on the proteasome and ubiquitination for their generation, a surprising 30% of the MHC Class I repertoire, enriched in peptides of mitochondrial origin, appears independent of these pathways. A further ~10% of Class I-bound peptides were found to be dependent on the proteasome but independent of ubiquitination for their generation. Notably, clinically achievable partial inhibition of the proteasome resulted in display of novel peptide antigens. Our results suggest that generation of MHC Class I/peptide complexes is more complex than previously recognized, with UPS-dependent and UPS-independent components; paradoxically, a smaller number of atypical peptides increase in presentation when canonical pathways are impaired. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please see supplementary file S1.xlsx for a detailed file description.
