Project description:Monocytes are circulating mononuclear phagocytes, poised to extravasate to sites of inflammation and differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and its receptors are upregulated during monopoiesis and expressed by circulating monocytes, as well as effector monocytes infiltrating certain sites of inflammation, such the spinal cord during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Using competitive in vitro and in vivo assays, we show here that monocytes deficient for TNF or TNF receptors are outcompeted by their wild-type counterpart. Moreover, monocyte autonomous TNF is critical for the function of these cells, as TNF ablation in monocytes / macrophages, but not in microglia delayed the onset of EAE in challenged animals and was associated with reduced acute spinal cord infiltration of Ly6Chi effector monocytes. Collectively, our data reveal a previously unappreciated critical cell-autonomous role of TNF on monocytes for their survival, maintenance and function.

Project description:The rapid accumulation of self-renewed polarized microglia in the penumbra is the critical neuroinflammatory process after the onset of ischemic stroke, leading to secondary demyelination and neuronal loss. HDAC3 has been reported to regulate cell proliferation of tumour cells and modulate neuroinflammation. However, the mechanism by which HDAC3 regulates microgliosis and microglial polarization remains ambiguous. Herein, we demonstrated that microglia-specific ablation of HDAC3 (HDAC3-miKO) ameliorated poststroke long-term functional and histological outcomes. Starting with unbiased RNA seq of microglia, we identified mitosis as the most significant process reversed by loss of HDAC3. Notably, HDAC3-miKO specifically inhibited the proliferation of M1-like microglia but not M2-like microglia, resulting in microglial transition to an M1-like state. Moreover, ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) revealed that HDAC3 deletion induced drastic closing of accessible regions enriched with motifs for PU.1. Taken together, we uncovered for the first time that HDAC3/PU.1-mediated differential proliferation-related reprogramming in different microglia populations drives poststroke inflammatory state transition of microglia and thereby contributes to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke.

Project description:The pediatric immune deficiency X-linked proliferative disease-2 (XLP-2) is a unique disease, with patients presenting with either hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) or intestinal bowel disease (IBD). Interestingly, XLP-2 patients display high levels of IL-18 in the serum even while in stable condition, presumably through spontaneous inflammasome activation. Recent data suggests that LPS stimulation can trigger inflammasome activation through a TNFR2/TNF/TNFR1 mediated loop in xiap−/− macrophages. Yet, the direct role TNFR2-specific activation plays in the absence of XIAP is unknown. We found TNFR2-specific activation leads to cell death in xiap−/− myeloid cells, particularly in the absence of the RING domain. RIPK1 kinase activity downstream of TNFR2 resulted in a TNF/TNFR1 cell death, independent of necroptosis. TNFR2-specific activation leads to a similar inflammatory NF-kB driven transcriptional profile as TNFR1 activation with the exception of upregulation of NLRP3 and caspase-11. Activation and upregulation of the canonical inflammasome upon loss of XIAP was mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production. While both the inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production reduced cell death, as well as release of IL-1β, the release of IL-18 was not reduced to basal levels. This study supports targeting TNFR2 specifically to reduce IL-18 release in XLP-2 patients and to reduce priming of the inflammasome components.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, CNS demyelination, and progressive neurodegeneration. Chronic MS patients exhibit impaired remyelination capacity, partly due to the changes that oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) undergo in response to the MS lesion environment. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is present in the MS affected CNS and has been implicated in disease pathophysiology. Of the two active forms of TNF, transmembrane (tmTNF) and soluble (solTNF), tmTNF signals via TNFR2 mediating protective and reparative effects, including remyelination, whereas solTNF signals predominantly via TNFR1 promoting neurotoxicity. To better understand the mechanisms underlying repair failure in MS, we investigated the cellular responses of OPCs to inflammatory exposure and the specific role of TNFR2 signaling in their modulation. Following treatment of cultured OPCs with IFNg, IL1b and TNF we observed by RNA sequencing marked inflammatory and immune activation of OPCs, accompanied by metabolic changes and dysregulation of their proliferation and differentiation programming. We also established the high likelihood of cell-cell interaction between OPCs and microglia in neuroinflammatory conditions, with OPCs able to produce chemokines that can recruit and activate microglia. Importantly, we showed that these functions are exacerbated when TNFR2 is ablated. Together, our data indicate that neuroinflammation leads OPCs to shift towards an immunomodulatory phenotype while diminishing their capacity to proliferate and differentiate, thus impairing their repair function. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TNFR2 plays a key role in this process, suggesting that boosting TNFR2 activation or its downstream signals could be an effective strategy to restore OPC reparative capacity in demyelinating disease.

Project description:We found a kind of GM-CSF producing B cells (BGM) is positively correlated with the pathogenesis of EAE. BGM cell conditional knock-out (CKO) mice showed significant resistance to EAE. To investigate the relationship between BGM cells and microglia and comprehensively evaluate the status of microglia, we obtained microglia from the brain of CKO and control mice at EAE peak stage, extracted microglial RNA, and performed microarray analysis.

Project description:Objectives: TNF-induced activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) is a critical determinant for synovial inflammation and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The detrimental role of TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1) has thoroughly been characterized. The contributions of TNFR2, however, are largely unknown. This study was performed to delineate the role of TNFR2 in human FLS activation. Methods: TNFR2 expression in synovial tissue samples was determined by immunohistochemistry. Expression of TNFR2 was silenced using RNAi or CRISPR/Cas9 technologies. Global transcriptional changes were determined by RNA-seq. QPCR, ELISA and immunoblotting were used to validate RNA-seq results and to uncover pathways operating downstream of TNFR2 in FLS. Results. TNFR2 expression was increased in RA when compared to OA synovial tissues. In particular, RA-FLS demonstrated higher levels of TNFR2 when compared to OA-FLS. TNFR2 expression in RA-FLS correlated with RA disease activity, synovial T- and B-cell infiltration. TNF and IL1 were identified as inflammatory mediators that upregulate TNFR2 in RA-FLS. Silencing of TNFR2 in RA-FLS markedly diminished the TNF-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including CXCR3-binding chemokines and the B-cell activating factor TNFSF13B. Immunobiochemical analyses revealed that TNFR2-mediated expression of inflammatory mediators critically depends on STAT1. Conclusion: Our results define a critical role for TNFR2 in FLS-driven inflammation and unfold its participation in the unresolved course of synovial inflammation in RA.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a paralytic degenerative disease of the nervous system. In the SOD1 mouse model of ALS we found loss of the molecular and functional microglia signature associated with pronounced expression of miR-155 in SOD1 mice. We also found increased expression of miR-155 in the spinal cord of ALS subjects. Genetic ablation of miR-155 increased survival in SOD1 mice and reversed the abnormal microglial and monocyte molecular signature. In addition, dysregulated proteins in the spinal cord of SOD1 mice that we identified in human ALS spinal cords and CSF were restored in SOD1G93A/miR155-/- mice. Treatment of SOD1 mice with anti-miR-155 SOD1 mice injected systemically or into the cerebrospinal fluid prolonged survival and restored the microglial unique genetic and microRNA profiles. Our findings provide a new avenue for immune based therapy of ALS by targeting miR-155. Total RNA was isolated from FACS sorted adult FCRLS+ microglia from spinal cords of Non-Tg/miR155+/-, SOD1G93A-miR155+/- and SOD1G93A-miR155–/- mice at the age of 120d. Total RNA was extracted using mirVanaTM miRNA isolation kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. nCounter Nansotring custom-made MG400 chip was used for gene expression profile

Project description:Specific medications to combat cerebellar ataxias, a group of debilitating movement disorders characterized by difficulty with walking, balance and coordination. Notably, cerebellar microglial activation appears to be a common feature in different types of ataxic patients and rodent models. However, the causal link between the activation of microglia in the cerebellum and ataxias remains inconclusive. In the present study, using a classic mouse model of cerebellar ataxia induced by 3-acetylpyridine (3-AP), we find a early-onset and long-lasting microglial activation accompanied by neuronal loss and dysfunction in the cerebellum. Transcriptome and behavior analyses indicate that microglial depletion in 3-AP ataxic mice decreases neuroinflammatory response in the cerebellum and rescues the ataxic motor symptoms including motor incoordination, gait abnormality, and locomotor dysfunction. Moreover, specific chemogenetic activation of cerebellar microglia in the vermis by M3D(Gq), a designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), directly induces an expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and aggravates ataxic motor deficits of 3-AP mice. On the contrary, inhibition of cerebellar microglial activation by M4D(Gi) or minocycline reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and alleviates motor deficits. Furthermore, blockage of TNF-α signaling attenuates the microglial-triggered hyperactivity of Purkinje cells (PCs). These results suggest that cerebellar microglial activation aggravates neuroinflammatory response, and subsequently induces dysfunction of PCs, which in turn triggers ataxic motor deficits. Our findings thus reveal a causal relationship between pro-inflammatory activation of cerebellar microglia and the ataxic motor symptoms, which may offer novel evidence for therapeutic intervention for cerebellar ataxias by targeting microglia and microglia-derived inflammatory mediators.
