Multiple sclerosis cortical normal-appearing grey matter and grey matter lesions

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the brain. Among characteristics of MS pathology are cortical grey matter abnormalities, which have been linked to clinical signs such as cognitive impairment. To understand MS cortical grey matter lesion pathogenesis, we performed differential gene expression analysis of MS cortical normal-appearing grey matter (NAGM) and grey matter lesions. HLA-DRB1 is the transcript with highest expression in MS NAGM with a bimodal distribution among the examined cases. Genotyping revealed that every case with the MS-associated HLA-DR15 haplotype also shows high HLA-DRB1 expression. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the higher expression of HLA-DRB1 in HLA-DRB1*15:01 cases at the protein level. Analysis of grey matter lesion size revealed a significant increase of cortical lesion size in cases with high HLA-DRB1 expression. Our data indicate that increased HLA-DRB1 expression in the brain of MS patients may be an important factor in how the HLA-DR15 haplotype contributes to MS risk in the target organ.

Transcriptional profiling of human microglia reveals grey-white matter heterogeneity and multiple sclerosis-associated changes

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.

Transcriptional profiling of brain CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells reveals dominant presence in white and grey matter (Circulation)

Project description:The human brain is populated by perivascular CD8+ and CD4+ T cells with a tissue-resident memory T (TRM)-cell phenotype. In multiple sclerosis (MS), these cells associate with white matter (WM) and, to a lesser extent, grey matter (GM) lesions. We here investigated the transcriptional and functional profile of brain-resident T cells. Of n=11 subsequent post-mortem brain donors, we isolated CD8+ and CD4+ effector memory and effector memory re-expressing CD45RA T cells from blood and CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells from corpus callosum WM and cortical GM. Additionally, brain CD69+ T cells were sorted from subcortical WM, corpus callosum WM, and medulla WM/GM of n=3–5 brain donors as well as from paired normal-appearing WM and GM and from WM and GM lesions of n=6 MS brain donors. In all donors, WM and GM T cells were overwhelmingly CD69+CD103+/-. Bulk RNA sequencing of CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells revealed TRM-cell signatures, as marked by differential expression of, among others, SELL (CD62L), ITGA1 (CD49a), and S1PR1. Notably, gene expression hardly differed between lesional and normal-appearing WM CD8+ and CD4+ CD69+ T cells in MS brains. Genes up-regulated in brain TRM cells were MS4A1 (CD20) and SPP1 (osteopontin, OPN). OPN is also abundantly expressed by microglia and has been shown to inhibit T-cell activity. In line with the increased presence of OPN in active MS lesions, we noticed a reduced production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-2, TNF, and IFNγ by MS lesion-derived CD8+ and CD4+ T cells ex vivo. This study discloses essential characteristics of human brain CD8+ and CD4+ TRM cells in non-MS and MS post-mortem WM and GM, reports OPN as a generic product of brain-resident immune cells, and shows a tight control of the activation state of TRM cells in MS lesions.

Comparative proteomic profiling identifies reciprocal expression of mitochondrial proteins between white and grey matter lesions from multiple sclerosis brains

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where ongoing demyelination and remyelination failure are the major factors for progressive neurological disability. In this report, we employed a comprehensive proteomic approach and immunohistochemical (IHC) validation to gaininsight into the pathobiological mechanisms that may be associated with the progressive phase of MS disease. Isolated proteins from myelinated regions, demyelinated white matter lesions (WMLs), and grey-matter lesions (GMLs) of well-characterized progressive MS brain tissues were subjected to label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ-MS). Using a system-biology approach, we detected increased expression of proteins belonging to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and oxidative phosphorylatio pathway in WMLs. Intriguingly, many of these proteins and pathways had opposite expression patterns in GMLs of progressive MS brains. A comparison to the huma MitoCarta database mapped the mitochondrial proteins to mitochondrial subunits in both WMLs and GMLs. Taken together, we provide evidence of opposite expression of mitochondrial proteins in response to demyelination of white- and grey-matter regions in progressive MS brain.

Gene expression of white and grey matter demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter from Multiple Sclerosis leukocortial lesions of human post-mortem tissue

Project description:Using laser capture microscopy, white (WM) and grey matter (GM) demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter was collected from histologically verified leukocortical lesions from snap-frozen human post mortem tissuederived from Multiple Sclerosis patients. Our data shows large differences in gene expression in WM and GM demyelinated areas (compared to their respective normal appearing matter) even when the demyelinated areas are spatially connected such as in leukocortical lesions. Thus, we show that WM demyelinated areas and GM demyelinated areas are distinct entities with distinct pathology. Therefore findings observed in WM demyelinated areas cannot be generalized to GM demyelinated areas.
