Effects of Th17 cytokines on microglial responses and the blood-brain barrier following recurrent intranasal Group A Streptococcus infections

ABSTRACT: Peripheral infections can result in neuropsychiatric changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. To explore the underlying mechanisms, here we used an intranasal inoculation model to analyze more than 100,000 cells from the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) and nasal lymphoid tissue by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). Upon repeated GAS inoculations, endothelial cells responded by downregulating blood-brain barrier (BBB)-specific genes, and microglia upregulated interferon-response, chemokine and antigen-presentation genes. To determine whether specific Th17 cytokines play distinct roles in producing this phenotype, we administered a neutralizing antibody against interleukin 17A (IL-17A), which decreased microglial expression of interferon-response and chemokine genes, but unexpectedly exacerbated levels of antigen presentation markers. Another Th17 cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) rescued a different subset of microglial transcripts.

Effects of Th17 cytokines on transcriptome of primary microglial cultures in vitro

Project description:Peripheral infections can result in neuropsychiatric changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. In a mouse model of intranasal GAS inoculation, we have previously demonstrated in vivo that mice lacking Th17 cells, or the key Th17 cytokines interleukin 17A (IL-17A) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), have altered microglial responses. As an attempt to determine whether these cytokines have direct effects on microglia, we cultured primary microglia and incubated them with either interferon gamma (IFNg), IL-17A or GM-CSF for 24 hours, then collected RNA for bulk sequencing. Microglia treated with IFNg or GM-CSF displayed striking transcriptional shifts, including upregulation of many inflammatory genes. IL-17A treatment did not have a noticeable effect on the microglial transcriptome, likely due to the in vitro absence of IL-17A receptors, which are expressed by microglia in vivo.

Spatial analysis of microglial and vascular responses following recurrent intranasal Group A Streptococcus infections

Project description:Peripheral infections can result in neurocognitive changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. To explore the underlying mechanisms, here we used an intranasal inoculation model to analyze nearly 200,000 cells from the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) by multiplexed error-robust fluorescent in situ hybridization (MERFISH). Upon repeated GAS inoculations, endothelial cells (ECs) responded by downregulating blood-brain barrier and extracellular matrix genes. Microglia upregulated response to interferon and antigen presentation genes and downregulated homeostatic microglia genes. We determined that microglia with higher expression of Streptococcus-responsive genes were localized to the outer glomerular layer of the OB, possibly due to their proximity to infiltrating CD4 T cells. Expression of homeostatic genes was correspondingly high in the inner granular layer of the OB.

Biological Aging of CNS-Resident Cells Alters the Clinical Course and Immunopathology of Autoimmune Demyelinating Disease

Project description:Biological aging is the strongest factor associated with the clinical phenotype of multiple sclerosis (MS). Relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) typically presents in the third or fourth decade, while the mean age of presentation of progressive MS (pMS) is 45 years old. Here we show that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), induced by the adoptive transfer of encephalitogenic CD4+ Th17 cells, is more severe, and less like to remit, in middle-aged compared with young adult mice. Donor T cells and neutrophils are more abundant, while B cells are relatively sparse, in central nervous system (CNS) infiltrates of the older mice. Experiments with reciprocal bone marrow chimeras demonstrate that radio-resistant, non-hematopoietic cells play a dominant role in shaping age-dependent features of the neuroinflammatory response, as well as the clinical course, during EAE. Reminiscent of pMS, EAE in middle-aged adoptive transfer recipients is characterized by widespread microglial activation. Microglia from older mice express a distinctive transcriptomic profile, suggestive of enhanced chemokine synthesis and antigen presentation. Collectively, our findings suggest that drugs that suppress microglial activation, and acquisition or expression of aging-associated properties, may be beneficial in the treatment of progressive forms of inflammatory demyelinating disease.

Transcriptional profiling of monocytes deficient in Nuclear Orphan Receptors NR4A2 and NR4A3 reveals distinct signalling roles related to antigen presentation and viral response.

Project description:Using RNA-sequencing and strategic bioinformatic analysis we investigated the down-stream effects of NR4A2 and NR4A3 in monocytes and dissected their common and distinct signalling roles.NR4A2 selective genes were most associated with antigen presentation, NR4A3 selective genes were most associated with interferon/viral reponse and NR4A2/3 co-regulated genes were most associated with clasical innate immure response signaling e.g. TLR signaling and chemokine secretion.

The cytokine IL-17A limits Th17 pathogenicity via a negative feedback loop driven by autocrine induction of IL-24

Project description:Dysregulated Th17 cell responses underlie multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune uveitis and its animal model, EAU. However, clinical trials targeting IL-17A in uveitis were not successful. Here, we found that Th17 cells were regulated by their own signature cytokine, IL-17A. Loss of IL-17A in autopathogenic Th17 cells did not reduce their pathogenicity and instead elevated their expression of the Th17 cell cytokines GM-CSF and IL-17F. Mechanistic in vitro studies revealed a Th17 cell-intrinsic autocrine loop triggered by binding of IL-17A to its receptor, leading to activation of transcription factor NFκB and induction of IL 24, which repressed the Th17 cytokine program. In vivo, IL-24 treatment ameliorated Th17-induced EAU, whereas silencing of IL-24 in Th17 cells enhanced disease. This regulatory pathway also operated in human Th17 cells. Thus, IL-17A limits pathogenicity of Th17 cells by inducing IL-24. These findings may explain the disappointing therapeutic effect in targeting IL-17A in uveitis.

Transcription profiling time series of the response of human microglial cells to interferon gamma

Project description:Microglial cells are resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) and play a pivotal role in the innate and adaptive immune responses against microbial infections. The immune functions of microglia are regulated by a milieu of cytokines including interferon (IFN)-gamma. We here performed a series of experiments to acertain the transcriptional profile of human fetal microglial cells at 1, 6, and 24 h after IFN-gamma treatment. Primary human microglial cells were either untreated or treated with 200u/ml IFN-gamma. Affymetrix U133A chips were utilized. Four different tissue samples (B18, O, W, and Y20) were analyzed at the three time points.
