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.

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 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.

Project description:We developed a novel approach combining next generation sequencing, bioinformatics and mass spectrometry to assess the impact of non-MHC polymorphisms on the repertoire of MHC I-associated peptides (MIPs). We compared the genomic landscape of MIPs eluted from B lymphoblasts of two MHC-identical siblings and determined that MIPs mirror the genomic frequency of non-synonymous polymorphisms but they behave as recessive traits at the surface level. Moreover, we showed that 11.7% of the MIP coding exome is polymorphic at the population level. Our method provides fundamental insights into the relation between the genomic self and the immune self and accelerates the discovery of polymorphic MIPs (also known as minor histocompatibility antigens), which play a major role in allo-immune responses. RNA-seq of human B lymphoblasts derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 2 HLA-identical female siblings.
