Oligodendrocyte degeneration triggers the formation of inflammatory brain lesions

Project description:Here, we investigated whether cuprizone-induced oligodendrocyte apoptosis is sufficient to trigger peripheral immune cell recruitment into the forebrain. We show that early cuprizone-induced white matter lesions display a striking similarity to early MS lesions, i.e., oligodendrocyte degeneration, microglia activation and absence of lymphocytes. Such early cuprizone lesions are sufficient to trigger peripheral immune cell recruitment. The lesions are characterized by discontinuation of the perivascular glia limitans, focal axonal damage, and perivascular astrocyte pathology. Time course studies showed that the severity of cuprizone-induced lesions positively correlates with the extent of peripheral immune cell recruitment. Furthermore, results of genome-wide array analyses suggest that moesin is integral for early microglia activation in cuprizone and MS lesions. This study underpins the significance of brain-intrinsic degenerative cascades for immune cell recruitment and, in consequence, MS lesion formation.

Single-cell analysis reveals inflammatory interactions driving macular degeneration

Project description:Due to commonalities in pathophysiology, age-related macular degeneration represents a uniquely accessible model to investigate therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, leading us to examine whether pathways of disease progression are shared across neurodegenerative conditions. Here we use single-nucleus RNA sequencing to profile lesions from 17 retinas with age-related macular degeneration and controls. We create a machine learning pipeline based on recent advances in data geometry and topology and identify activated glial populations enriched in the early phase of disease. Examining single-cell data from Alzheimer’s disease and progressive multiple sclerosis with our pipeline, we find a similar glial activation profile enriched in the early phase of these neurodegenerative diseases. In late-stage age-related macular degeneration, we identify a microglia-to-astrocyte signaling axis mediated by interleukin-1beta which drives angiogenesis characteristic of disease pathogenesis. Thus, due to shared glial states, the retina provides a system for investigating therapeutic approaches in neurodegenerative diseases.

Pro-inflammatory activity following demyelinating injury is required for phagocytic function and oligodendrocyte formation

Project description:Remyelination can occur naturally in demyelinating lesions, but often fails in human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The function of the innate immune system is essential for the regenerative response, but how exactly microglia and macrophages clear myelin debris after injury and tailor a specific regenerative response is unclear. Here, we asked whether pro-inflammatory microglial/macrophage activation is required for this process. We established a novel toxin-based spinal cord model of de- and remyelination in zebrafish and showed that pro-inflammatory nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) dependent activation occurs in phagocytes rapidly after myelin injury. We found that the pro-inflammatory response depends on myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), the canonical adaptor for inflammatory signaling pathways downstream of toll-like receptors (TLRs). MyD88-deficient mice and zebrafish were impaired not only in the degradation of myelin debris, but also in initiating the generation of new oligodendrocytes for myelin repair. We identified reduced generation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lesions of MyD88-deficient animals, a pro-inflammatory molecule that was able to induce the generation of new oligodendrocytes. Our study shows that pro-inflammatory phagocytic signaling is an evolutionary conserved mechanism necessary for degrading myelin debris, essential for inflammation resolution, and for initiating the secretion of pro-inflammatory myelin repair molecules.

Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Transcriptome in White Matter Stroke

Project description:Tissue progenitors maintain the integrity of organ systems through aging and stress. The brain’s white matter regions experience ischemic lesions and age-dependent degeneration. Brain white matter contains progenitors, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which can repair some insults. The response of OPCs to white matter ischemia and aging is not known. We characterized the response of OPCs to white matter stroke using OPC reporter mice, cell migration tracking, OPC specific RNA sequencing, and mechanistic studies in candidate biochemical pathways in the aged brain. White matter stroke induces initial proliferation of local OPCs but blocks differentiation, shunting a portion into astrocytes. Candidate signaling pathways for this differentiation block including novel interactions of inhibin and matrilin-2 and new roles of NgR1 ligands following white matter stroke. Stroke induces inhibin expression in astrocytes and downregulates OPC matrilin-2 that contributes into OPC differentiation block. Antagonism of NgR1 ligands promotes OPC differentiation by attenuating the OPC astrocytic transformation and enhances functional recovery from stroke in aged animals.

Microglial Phagocytosis of Bipolar Cells Triggers Inner Retinal Degeneration in Rs1-KO Mice

Project description:X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), caused by Retinoschisin 1 (RS1) gene mutations, leads to progressive retinal degeneration. While photoreceptor loss is a hallmark of the disease, its early pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood. Using CRISPR/Cas9-edited Rs1-exon2-knockout mice, we investigated the temporal progression of the retinal degeneration. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that the degeneration of bipolar cells, particularly the OFF-cone subtype, precedes photoreceptor loss. This early degeneration was driven by microglial activation and their subsequent phagocytosis of bipolar cells via phosphatidylserine exposure and C3b activation that was independent of apoptosis. These findings reveal a temporal sequence of neurodegeneration in XLRS, highlighting bipolar cells as a critical therapeutic target for early intervention.
