Project description:We sought to elucidate the cell-cell communication, primarily between pericytes and macrophages, within the dura mater compared to other relevant tissues (leptomeninges and brain) in pre-symptomatic EAE and at the onset of symptoms.

Project description:In this work we report that early developing B cells present in the meninges of mice at all ages. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed a consecutive trajectory of meningeal developing B cells in mice and non-human primates (NHPs). Parabiosis together with lineage tracing of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) showed that meningeal developing B cells are continuously replenished from the HSC-derived progenitors via a circulation-independent route. Importantly, autoreactive immature B cells which recognize myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a central nervous system (CNS)-specific antigen, are eliminated from the meninges but not BM. Furthermore, genetic deletion of MOG tolerated the development/presence/residence of self-reactive B cells in the meninges. Thus, we propose that meninges function as a unique reservoir for B cell development, allowing in situ negative selection of CNS-antigen-autoreactive B cell clones to ensure a local non-self-reactive immune repertoire.

Project description:The meningeal lymphatic network—housed within the dural meninges surrounding the brain— is critical for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Through continuous brain interstitial fluid (ISF) mixing with CSF via the glymphatic system, this lymphatic network facilitates the removal of central nervous system (CNS) waste. During aging and in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), attenuated meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes the buildup of toxic misfolded proteins—including amyloid beta—in the CNS. Alleviating this age-related meningeal lymphatic dysfunction represents a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate AD pathology. However, the mechanisms underlying this lymphatic decline remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that age-related alterations in meningeal immunity contribute to meningeal lymphatic impairment. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of dural lymphatic endothelial cells in aged mice demonstrated a response signature to the cytokine IFNγ, which was elevated in the aged dura due to meningeal T cell accumulation. Chronic elevation of IFNγ in the meninges of young mice via AAV-mediated overexpression altered lymphatic adherans junctions and impaired CSF drainage to deep cervical lymph nodes—comparable to the deficits observed in aged mice. Direct disruption of lymphatic junctions via CSF-delivered VE-Cadherin disrupting antibodies was sufficient to phenocopy impairments in CSF drainage. Therapeutically, IFNγ neutralization in aged mice alleviated age-related impairments in meningeal lymphatic function. These data suggest manipulation of meningeal immunity as a viable therapeutic target to normalize CSF drainage in aged mice and alleviate the pathology in AD mice associated with impaired waste removal.
