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.

CNS lymphatic drainage and neuroinflammation are regulated by meningeal lymphatic vasculature

Project description:Neuroinflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, are characterized by invasion of the brain by autoreactive T cells. The mechanism for how T cells acquire their encephalitogenic phenotype and trigger disease remains, however, unclear. The existence of lymphatic vessels in the meninges indicates a relevant link between the CNS and peripheral immune system, perhaps affecting autoimmunity. Here we demonstrate that meningeal lymphatics fulfill two critical criteria: they assist in the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid components and enable immune cells to enter draining lymph nodes in a CCR7-dependent manner. Unlike other tissues, meningeal lymphatic endothelial cells do not undergo expansion during inflammation, and they express a unique transcriptional signature. Notably, the ablation of meningeal lymphatics diminishes pathology and reduces the inflammatory response of brain-reactive T cells during an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Our findings demonstrate that meningeal lymphatics govern inflammatory processes and immune surveillance of the CNS and pose a valuable target for therapeutic intervention.
