Transcriptional profiling and therapeutic targeting of oxidative stress in neuroinflammation (scRNA-seq dataset)

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress is a central part of innate-immune induced neurodegeneration. However, the transcriptomic landscape of the central nervous system (CNS) innate immune cells contributing to oxidative stress is unknown, and therapies to target their neurotoxic functions are not widely available. Here, we provide the oxidative stress innate immune cell atlas in neuroinflammatory disease, and report the discovery of new druggable pathways. Transcriptional profiling of oxidative stress-producing CNS innate immune cells (Tox-seq) identified a core oxidative stress gene signature coupled to coagulation and glutathione pathway genes shared between a microglia cluster and infiltrating macrophages. Tox-seq followed by a microglia high-throughput screen (HTS) and oxidative stress gene network analysis, identified the glutathione regulating compound acivicin with potent therapeutic effects decreasing oxidative stress and axonal damage in chronic and relapsing models of multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus, oxidative stress transcriptomics identified neurotoxic CNS innate immune populations and may enable the discovery of selective neuroprotective strategies.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of Streptococcus pyogenes HKU16 and an isogenic gshT mutant. Manuscript title: Streptococcus pyogenes hijacks host glutathione for growth and innate immune evasion

Project description:The nasopharynx and the skin are the major oxygen-rich anatomical sites for colonization by the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS). To establish infection, GAS must survive oxidative stress generated during aerobic metabolism and the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by host innate immune cells. Glutathione is the major host antioxidant molecule while GAS is glutathione-auxotrophic. Here we report the molecular characterization of the ABC transporter substrate binding protein GshT in the GAS glutathione salvage pathway. We demonstrate that glutathione uptake is critical for aerobic growth of GAS and that impaired import of glutathione induces oxidative stress that triggers enhanced production of the reducing equivalent NADPH. Our results highlight the interrelationship between glutathione assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, virulence factor production and innate immune evasion. Together, these findings suggest an adaptive strategy employed by extracellular bacterial pathogens to exploit host glutathione stores for their own benefit.

Fibrinogen promotes autoimmunity and demyelination via chemokine release and antigen presentation [Rn]

Project description:Determination of the mechanism by which fibrinogen, a central blood coagulation protein drives immunological responses targeted to the CNS. Results identify the factors involved in the regulation and provide mechanistic basis. We subjected fibrin-stimulated microglia to microarray to determine the genes involved in innate and adaptive immune responses by fibrinogen deposited in the CNS after blood-brain barrier disruption. Rat microglia were stimulated with fibrin for 6 hr and subjected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymatrix microarrays. Two unstimulated and two fibrin-stimulated samples were generated.

Defining blood-induced microglia functions in neurodegeneration through multiomic profiling

Project description:Blood protein extravasation through a disrupted blood–brain barrier and innate immune activation are hallmarks of neurological diseases and emerging therapeutic targets. However, how blood proteins polarize innate immune cells remains largely unknown. Here, we established an unbiased blood-innate immunity multiomic and genetic loss-of-function pipeline to define the transcriptome and global phosphoproteome of blood-induced innate immune polarization and its role in microglia neurotoxicity. Blood induced widespread microglial transcriptional changes, including changes involving oxidative stress and neurodegenerative genes. Comparative functional multiomics showed that blood proteins induce distinct receptor-mediated transcriptional programs in microglia and macrophages, such as redox, type 1 interferon and lymphocyte recruitment. Deletion of the blood coagulation factor fibrinogen largely reversed blood-induced microglia neurodegenerative signatures. Genetic elimination of the fibrinogen-binding motif to CD11b in Alzheimer’s disease mice reduced microglial lipid metabolism and neurodegenerative signatures that were shared with autoimmune-driven neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis mice. Our data provide an interactive resource for investigation of the immunology of blood proteins that could support therapeutic targeting of microglia activation by immune and vascular signals.

Decoding microglia responses to psychosocial stress reveals blood-brain barrier breakdown that may drive stress susceptibility

Project description:An animal’s ability to cope with or succumb to deleterious effects of chronic psychological stress may be rooted in the brain’s immune responses manifested in microglial activity. Mice subjected to chronic social defeat (CSD) were categorized as susceptible (CSD-S) or resilient (CSD-R) based on behavioral phenotyping, and their microglial RNAs were isolated and analyzed by global gene expression microarrays. Microglia transcriptome from CSD-S mice was enriched for pathways that describe phases of CNS healing to sterile injury including, inflammation, oxidative stress, debris clearance, and wound resolution. Histochemical experiments confirmed the array predictions: CSD-S microglia showed elevated phagocytosis and oxidative stress, and the brains of CSD-S but not CSD-R or HC mice showed vascular leakage of intravenously injected fluorescent tracers. The results suggest that the inflammatory profile of CSD-S microglia may be precipitated by leakage of blood-born substances into brain parenchyma. We hypothesize that these CNS-centric responses contribute to the stress-susceptible behavioral phenotype.

SYK coordinates neuroprotective microglial responses in neurodegenerative disease [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Many neurodegenerative diseases are thought to be caused by impaired containment and/or disposal of neurotoxic material such as amyloid beta (Ab) and myelin debris. Indeed, recent human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and animal model studies have begun to reveal critical roles for the brain’s professional phagocytes, microglia, as well as various innate immune receptors expressed by microglia in the control of neurotoxic material and subsequent neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis. Yet, the critical intracellular molecules that orchestrate the neuroprotective functions of microglia in degenerative disorders remain poorly understood. In our studies, we have identified the innate immune signaling molecule spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) as a key regulator of microglial phagocytosis in neurodegenerative disease. We find that targeted deletion of SYK in microglia leads to exacerbated Ab deposition, aggravated neuropathology, and cognitive defects in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Furthermore, disruption of SYK signaling in this AD model was also shown to impede the development of disease-associated microglia (DAMs), alter AKT/GSK3b-signaling in microglia, and to cause severe deficits in the ability of microglia to phagocytose Ab. Importantly, these critical neuroprotective functions of SYK in microglia were not only restricted to Ab-driven models of neurodegeneration, as we found that SYK is also a critical regulator of microglial phagocytosis and DAM phenotype acquisition in demyelinating disease. Collectively, these results help to break new ground in our understanding of the key innate immune signaling molecules that instruct beneficial microglial functions in response to neurotoxic material. Moreover, these findings suggest that targeting SYK may offer a therapeutic strategy to treat a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders.

Host microbiota constantly control maturation and function of microglia in the central nervous system (part 1)

Project description:As tissue macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), microglia are critically involved in diseases of the CNS. However, it remains unknown what controls their maturation and activation under homeostatic conditions. Here we reveal significant contributions of the host microbiota to microglia homeostasis as germ-free (GF) mice displayed global defects in microglia with altered cell proportions and an immature phenotype leading to impaired innate immune responses. Temporal eradication of host microbiota severely changed microglia properties. Limited microbiota complexity also resulted in defective microglia. In contrast, recolonization with a complex microbiota partially restored microglia features. We determined that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), microbiota-derived bacterial fermentation products, regulate microglia homeostasis. Accordingly, mice deficient for the SCFA receptor FFAR2 mirrored microglia defects found under GF conditions. These findings reveal that host bacteria vitally regulate microglia maturation and function, whereas microglia impairment can be restored to some extent by complex microbiota. For acute inflammatory challenges, LPS was applied intracranially and 6 hours later, animals were analyzed. Control animals were injected PBS i.c. Transcriptional profiles of FACS-sorted microglia were assessed using Affymetrix® (Santa Clara, USA) GeneChip Arrays (Mouse Gene 2.1 ST Arrays).
