Broad rim lesions are a novel pathological / morphological and imaging biomarker for rapid disease progression in Multiple Sclerosis (part 2)

ABSTRACT: Current Multiple Sclerosis (MS) treatments reduce relapse activity but have limited impact on disease progression. Clinical trials targeting progression often fail due to insufficient understanding of its underlying mechanisms. This study analyzes a clinically well-characterized MS autopsy cohort comparing selected individuals with opposite disease trajectories of slow versus rapid progression by extensive unbiased histology and spatial transcriptomics. It unveils a novel lesion type marked by an extensive myeloid cell rim with cellular and transcriptional signatures of inflammation, enhanced antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation that is strongly linked to rapid progression. Validation through an independent TSPO-PET study confirms the association between lesions with a broad myeloid cell rim and disease progression. These findings offer crucial insights into the mechanisms behind MS progression, identifying broad rim lesions as a biomarker for rapid disease progression and potentially guiding patient selection for future therapeutic trials targeting CNS intrinsic inflammation.

Decoding spatial gene activity changes in multiple sclerosis lesion progression

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterised by myelin loss and progressive neurodegeneration. To better understand MS lesion initiation and progression, we generated spatial gene activity maps of white (WM) and grey matter (GM) MS lesions. In different MS lesion types, we detected novel transcriptional domains, including an identifiable rim around active WM lesions. These active lesion rims were characterised by changes in astrocytic, oligodendrocytic, and microglial gene activity. Furthermore, we identified three novel WM lesion trajectories, predicting how normal appearing WM could progress into WM lesions, with lesion rims, active lesion cores, and mixed active/inactive lesion cores as potential outcomes. Our findings offer new insights into MS lesion progression, and the dynamic molecular and cellular processes that underlie MS.

Gene expression profiling of multiple sclerosis pathology identifies early patterns of demyelination surrounding chronic active lesions

Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS), activated microglia and infiltrating macrophages phagocytose myelin focally in (chronic) active lesions. These demyelinating sites expand in time, but at some point turn inactive into a sclerotic scar. To identify molecular mechanisms underlying lesion activity and halt, we analyzed genome-wide gene expression in rim and peri-lesional regions of chronic active and inactive MS lesions, as well as in control tissue. Gene clustering revealed patterns of gene expression specifically associated with MS and with the presumed, subsequent stages of lesion development. Next to genes involved in immune functions, we found regulation of novel genes in and around the rim of chronic active lesions, such as NPY, KANK4, NCAN, TKTL1, and ANO4. Of note, the presence of many foamy macrophages in active rims was accompanied by a congruent upregulation of genes related to lipid binding, such as MSR1, CD68, CXCL16, and OLR1, and lipid uptake, such as CHIT1, GPNMB, and CCL18. Except CCL18, these genes were already upregulated in regions around active MS lesions, showing that such lesions are indeed expanding. In vitro downregulation of the scavenger receptors MSR1 and CXCL16 reduced myelin uptake. In conclusion, this study provides the gene expression profile of different aspects of MS pathology and indicates that early demyelination, mediated by scavenger receptors, is already present in regions around active MS lesions. Genes involved in early demyelination events in regions surrounding chronic active MS lesions might be promising therapeutic targets to stop lesion expansion.

Cell type mapping reveals tissue niches and interactions in subcortical multiple sclerosis lesions [snRNA-seq]

Project description:We generated a paired snRNA-seq (n= 15) and spatial transcriptomics (n=19) dataset from subcortical chronic active and chronic inactive MS lesions, identifying spatial niches and key cell interactions driving inflammation and disease progression at the lesion rim. This repository offers access to all the trancriptomics data that was used in the paper. It includes, all FASTQ files for both transcriptomics, along with the necessary files for running spatial transcriptomic samples (H&E images and JSON files), as well as the curated atlas, all derived cell subtype atlases from the main atlas and all curated ST slides.

RNAseq of rim cells and retinal neuroepithelial cells of zebrafish optic cup at 18-20ss stage

Project description:This data set was generated with the aim to identify a comprehensive list of genes expressed in the rim cells and the RNE cells during zebrafish optic cup morphogenesis. GFP expressed under vsx2 locus was used as a reporter to isolate the rim cells (with low GFP expression) and retinal neuroepithelial cells (with high GFP expression).

Expression of genes in Runx2/Myc transgenic mouse thymus compared to control

Project description:Retroviral insertional mutagenesis (RIM) is a powerful tool in cancer genomics. Transgenic mice expressing two potent collaborating oncogenes in the germline, Myc and Runx2, develop rapid onset tumours that can be accelerated and rendered polyclonal by neonatal infection with MoMLV. Deep sequencing of lymphomas from infected Runx2/Myc mice revealed a network of progression genes. Transcriptional analysis of basal expression levels in transgenic cells showed that the progression network showed strong evidence of clonal selection beyond gene expression level. We examined the gene expression profile of triplicate 10 day old thymus from CD2-Myc/CD2-Runx2 and C57/CBA mice to examine early gene changes in comparison to RIM targets in end stage tumours. We found no significant relationship between basal expression in the transgenic system and genes that were targets for retroviral integration.
