Multi-omics and 3D-imaging reveal bone heterogeneity and unique calvaria cells in neuroinflammation

ABSTRACT: The bone marrow in the skull is important for shaping immune responses in the brain and meninges, but its molecular makeup in comparison to other bones in mice and humans remains unclear. Here, we show that the skull has the most distinct transcriptomic profile compared to other bones in states of health and injury, characterized by a late-stage neutrophil phenotype. In humans, proteome analysis reveal that the skull marrow is the most distinct, with differentially expressed neutrophil-related pathways and a unique synaptic protein signature. 3D imaging demonstrates the structural and cellular details of human skull-meninges connections compared to veins. Lastly, using TSPO-PET imaging, we show that the skull bone marrow reflects inflammatory brain responses with a disease-specific spatial distribution in patients with various neurological disorders. The unique molecular profile, anatomical, and functional connections of the skull show its potential as a new site for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating brain diseases.

Multi-omics and 3D-imaging reveal bone heterogeneity and unique calvaria cells in neuroinflammation

Project description:Diverse immune cells move from the calvaria marrow into the dura mater via recently discovered skull-meninges connections (SMCs). Yet, how the calvaria bone marrow is different from the other bones and whether it plays a special role in human diseases remain unknown. Using multi-omics approaches and whole mouse transparency we reveal that bone marrow cells are highly heterogeneous across the mouse body. The calvaria harbors the most distinct molecular signature with hundreds of differentially expressed genes and proteins. Acute brain injury induces skull-specific outcomes including increased calvaria cell numbers. Moreover, TSPO-PET imaging of stroke, dementia and multiple sclerosis patients demonstrate increased inflammation in the human skull, mirroring the underlying brain inflammation.

Multi-omics and 3D-imaging reveal bone heterogeneity and unique calvaria cells in in mice and humans

Project description:The meninges of the brain are an important component of neuroinflammatory response. Diverse immune cells move from the calvaria marrow into the dura mater via recently discovered skull-meninges connections (SMCs). However, how the calvaria bone marrow is different from the other bones and whether and how it contributes to human diseases remain unknown. Using multi-omics approaches and whole mouse transparency we reveal that bone marrow cells are highly heterogeneous across the mouse body. The mouse calvaria and the human skull harbors the most distinct molecular signature with hundreds of differentially expressed genes and proteins when compared to other bones. Our study indicates that the calvaria is more than a physical barrier, and its immune cells may present new ways to control brain pathologies.

Cranial photo-immunologic regulation along the skull-meninges-brain axis for promoting recovery from ischemic brain injury

Project description:Stroke involves in the interaction between central and peripheral immune systems. Skull bone marrows serve as reservoirs for immune cells in brain borders, and can rapidly respond to perturbations in the brain environment. Hence, targeting the skull bone marrow to modulate neuroimmune communications along the calvaria-meninges-brain axis would potentially improve stroke prognosis. Here, we successfully achieved cranial immunomodulation via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the interparietal region, which was characterized by rich marrow cavities and channels connecting the skull and meninges. Utilizing the recently-developed long-term clearing cranial window that ensured the integrity of skull, we discovered that the cranial photo-immunologic regulation (CPR) could promote cerebrovascular regeneration and aid in neurovascular repair post ischemic stroke. Single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that meninge could be a crucial neuroimmune interface for ischemic stroke-induced immune responses. And, CPR could restore the stroke-induced alterations in cellular gene expression, especially meningeal B cells. Further we demonstrated that CPR could effectively alleviate the excessive suppression of meningeal B cell activation caused by ischemic stroke. This work opens avenues for immunoregulation through the skull-meninges-brain axis and provides valuable insights for immunomodulatory therapies in brain diseases.

Heterogeneity of meningeal B cells reveals a lymphopoietic niche at the CNS borders [scBCR-seq]

Project description:The meninges contain adaptive immune cells that provide immunosurveillance of the CNS. These cells are thought to derive from the systemic circulation. Through single cell analyses, confocal 35 imaging, bone marrow chimeras and parabiosis experiments, we show that meningeal B cells derive locally from the calvaria, which harbors a bone marrow niche for hematopoiesis. B cells reach the meninges from the calvaria through specialized vascular connections. This calvaria- meningeal path of B cell development may provide the CNS with a constant supply of B cells educated by CNS antigens. Conversely, we show that a subset of antigen-experienced B cells that 40 populate the meninges in aging mice are blood-borne. These results identify a private source for meningeal B cells which may help maintain immune privilege within the CNS.

Translocator protein (18kDA) (TSPO) marks mesenchymal glioblastoma cell populations characterized by elevated numbers of tumor-associated macrophages

Project description:TSPO is a promising novel tracer target for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain tumors. However, due to the heterogeneity of cell populations that contribute to the TSPO-PET signal, imaging interpretation may be challenging. We therefore evaluated TSPO enrichment/expression in connection with its underlying histopathological and molecular features in gliomas. We analyzed TSPO expression and its regulatory mechanisms in large in silico datasets and by performing direct bisulfite sequencing of the TSPO promotor. In glioblastoma tissue samples of our TSPO-PET imaging study cohort, we dissected the association of TSPO tracer enrichment and protein labeling with the expression of cell lineage markers by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence multiplex stains. Furthermore, we identified relevant TSPO-associated signaling pathways by RNA sequencing. We found that TSPO expression is associated with prognostically unfavorable glioma phenotypes and that TSPO promotor hypermethylation is linked to IDH mutation. Careful histological analysis revealed that TSPO immunohistochemistry correlates with the TSPO-PET signal and that TSPO is expressed by diverse cell populations. While tumor core areas are the major contributor to the overall TSPO signal, TSPO signals in the tumor rim are mainly driven by CD68-positive microglia/macrophages. Molecularly, high TSPO expression marks prognostically unfavorable glioblastoma cell subpopulations characterized by an enrichment of mesenchymal gene sets and higher amounts of tumor-associated macrophages. In conclusion, our study improves the understanding of TSPO as an imaging marker in gliomas by unveiling IDH-dependent differences in TSPO expression/regulation, regional heterogeneity of the TSPO PET signal and functional implications of TSPO in terms of tumor immune cell interactions.

The prenatal frontal and parietal bones are distinct organs.

Project description:The skull vault is composed of frontal and parietal bones that are connected by flexible sutures that protect the growing brain. Intramembranous ossification in the prenatal skull vault starts by mid-gestation in the mouse, and sutures must remain flexible for normal growth and development. Therefore, the balance of bone formation and remodeling needs to be precisely controlled because premature ossification in the sutures causes craniosynostosis (CS) to develop. CS has a variable clinical presentation where two frontal bones may be fused together, or a frontal bone may be fused to a parietal bone. While most studies focus on the premature suture ossification, we hypothesized that the process of intramembranous ossification in the frontal and parietal bones contributes to the etiology of CS. By bulk RNASeq we identified 536 unique transcripts between the frontal and parietal compartments.Taken together, we propose that the frontal bone is more active in bone remodeling than the parietal bone, and this control is important for temporal onset of intramembranous ossification in the skull vault.
