Gut microbiome derived N,N,N-trimethyl-5-aminovaleric acid (TMAVA) is a modulator of CNS-aGVHD

ABSTRACT: Acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) can affect the central nervous system (CNS) through activation of microglia and infiltration of T cells. However, it is unclear how microbiome modifications impact CNS-aGVHD. Here, we analyzed the role of the microbiome in facilitating microglia activation during aGVHD using antibiotics-treated, germ-free (GF) and wildling mice. Antibiotics-mediated microbiome depletion caused infiltration of IFN-γ producing T cells in the brain, activation of microglia via the TLR4/p38MAPK pathway and deficits in neurocognitive functions in aGVHD mice. We observed similar microbiome-dependent microglia activation after allo-HCT in microbiome-disrupted wildling mice, and in GF mice compared to Oligo-Mouse-Microbiota (OMM12) mice. The bacteria-derived metabolite N,N,N-trimethyl-5-aminovalerate (TMAVA) was decreased in microglia of antibiotics-treated mice. TMAVA administration diminished the activity of TLR4/p38MAPK pathway in microglia, and reversed T cell infiltration in the brain. We also found reduced TMAVA abundance in the blood of patients after GVHD onset compared to before onset. In summary, we identified the loss of bacteria-derived TMAVA upon antibiotics treatment as a central causative factor for CNS-aGVHD.

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).

We used microarrays to determine the gene expression of microglia after LCMV challenge. Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) strain WE was propagated and titrated as plaque forming units (PFU) on L929 cells as described before (Herz,J. et al. Acid sphingomyelinase is a key regulator of cytotoxic granule secretion by primary T lymphocytes. Nat. Immunol. 10, 761-768 (2009)). PFU were multiplied by the factor 10 to be converted into infectious units (IU). Mice were infected by intracerebral inoculation of 103 IU into the right hemisphere.

CSF1R inhibition promotes neuroinflammation and behavioural deficits during graft-versus-host disease in mice.

Project description:Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains a significant complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is becoming increasingly recognised, where brain-infiltrating donor MHC class II+ bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) drive pathology. BMDM are also mediators of cutaneous and pulmonary cGVHD, and clinical trials assessing the efficacy of antibody blockade of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to deplete macrophages are promising. We hypothesised that CSF1R antibody blockade may also be a useful strategy to prevent/treat CNS cGVHD. Increased blood-brain barrier permeability during acute GVHD (aGVHD) facilitated CNS antibody access and microglia depletion by anti-CSF1R treatment. However, CSF1R blockade early post-transplant unexpectedly exacerbated aGVHD neuroinflammation. In established cGVHD, vascular changes and anti-CSF1R efficacy were more limited. Anti-CSF1R-treated mice retained donor BMDM, activated microglia, CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, and local cytokine expression in the brain. These findings were recapitulated in GVHD recipients where CSF1R was conditionally depleted in donor CX3CR1+ BMDM. Notably, inhibition of CSF1R signalling post-transplant failed to reverse GVHD-induced behavioural changes. Moreover, we observed aberrant behaviour in non-GVHD control recipients administered anti-CSF1R blocking antibody and naïve mice lacking CSF1R in CX3CR1+ cells, revealing a novel role for homeostatic microglia and indicating that ongoing clinical trials of CSF1R inhibition should assess neurological adverse events in patients. In contrast, transfer of Ifngr-/- grafts could reduce MHC class II+ BMDM infiltration, resulting in improved neurocognitive function. Our findings highlight unexpected neurological immune toxicity during CSF1R blockade and provide alternative targets for the treatment of cGVHD within the CNS.

MICROBIOTA-DERIVED ACETATE ENABLES THE METABOLIC FITNESS OF THE CNS INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM DURING HEALTH AND DISEASE

Project description:As tissue macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) microglia constitute the pivotal immune cells of this organ. Microglial features are strongly dependent on environmental cues such as commensal microbiota. Gut bacteria are known to continuously modulate microglia maturation and function by the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). However, the precise mechanism of this crosstalk is unknown. Here we determined that the immature phenotype of microglia from germ-free (GF) mice is epigenetically imprinted by H3K4me3 and H3K9ac on metabolic genes associated with substantial functional alterations including increased mitochondrial mass and specific respiratory chain dysfunctions. We identified acetate as the essential microbiome-derived SCFA driving microglia maturation and regulating the homeostatic metabolic state, and further showed that it is able to modulate microglial phagocytosis and disease progression during neurodegeneration. These findings indicate that acetate is an essential bacteria-derived molecule driving metabolic pathways and functions of microglia during health and perturbation.

Different effects of constitutive and induced microbiota modulation on microglia in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:It was recently revealed that gut microbiota promote amyloid-beta (Aβ) burden in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms when using either germ-free (GF) housing conditions or treatments with antibiotics (ABX) remained unknown. In this study, we show that GF and ABX-treated 5x familial AD (5xFAD) mice developed attenuated hippocampal Aβ pathology and associated neuronal loss, and thereby delayed disease-related memory deficits. While Ab production remained unaffected in both GF and ABX-treated 5xFAD mice, we noticed in GF 5xFAD mice enhanced microglial Aβ uptake at early stages of the disease compared to ABX-treated 5xFAD mice. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing of hippocampal microglia from SPF, GF and ABX-treated 5xFAD mice revealed distinct microbiota-dependent gene expression profiles associated with phagocytosis and altered microglial activation states. Taken together, we observed that constitutive or induced microbiota modulation in 5xFAD mice differentially controls microglial Aβ clearance mechanisms preventing neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits.

Impact of Microbiome on Hepatic Drug Processing Genes in Mice during Pregnancy

Project description:While microbiome and pregnancy are known to alter drug disposition, the interplay of the two physiological factors to impact expression and/or activity of drug processing genes (DPGs) has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of microbiome on host hepatic DPGs during pregnancy using conventional (CV) and germ-free (GF) mice. Four groups of female mice were used, namely CV non-pregnant (CVNP), GF non-pregnant (GFNP), CV pregnant (CVP), and GF pregnant (GFP) mice. Pregnant mice examined were on gestation day 15. Transcriptomic and targeted proteomics of hepatic DPGs were profiled using a multi-omics approach. Plasma bile acid and steroid hormone levels were quantified using LC-MS/MS. Cyp3a activities were measured by mouse liver microsome incubations. While the overall trend in pregnancy-induced changes in the expression or activity of hepatic DPGs in CV and GF mice was similar, significant differences in the magnitude of changes were observed. For certain genes, we noticed opposite effects of pregnancy on mRNA and protein expression of DPGs in both CV and GF mice. For instance, the mRNA levels of Cyp3a11, the murine homolog of human CYP3A4, were decreased by 1.7-fold and 3.3-fold by pregnancy in CV and GF mice, respectively. However, the protein levels of Cyp3a11 were increased similarly ~2-fold by pregnancy in both CV and GF mice. Yet, microsome incubations revealed a marked induction of Cyp3a activity by pregnancy that was >5-fold greater in CV mice than that in GF mice. Plasma bile acid and steroid hormone levels were also significantly altered by microbiome and pregnancy, respectively, which may contribute to the differential effects of pregnancy in CV and GF mice. This is the first study to show that microbiome can alter hepatic DPGs in pregnancy.
