Project description:2nd generation sequencing was used to compare expression profiles of MBP-specific T cells retrieved from blood, CSF, spinal cord meninges and parenchyma. The overall expression profiles were found to be very similar.However, genes regulated during T cell activation were found to be upregulated in T cells from spinal cord meninges and parenchyma compared to blood and CSF. 2nd generation sequencing of MBP-specific T cells retrieved from blood and CNS compartments during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Project description:We used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile immune cells in the injured spinal cord parenchyma and lymphatic endothelial cells in the spinal cord meninges from young and aged mice. This help us understand the heterogeneity of the immune response after injury and how it is altered in aging. Moreover, the data obtained from the spinal cord meninges provides novel molecular insights into how the meninges may contribute to the repair process.

Project description:The meninges are a tripartite system of membranous tissue comprised of pial, arachnoid and dural layers that cover both the brain and spinal cord. Between the arachnoid and pial layers is the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Though the meninges have long been thought to provide largely a protective function, a growing number of studies highlight this tissue to be a nest of immune activity, harboring T cells, B cells, macrophages, and a variety of other myeloid cell types during health and disease. But despite the burgeoning prospect that the meninges might play a decidedly more active role in immune and other regulatory processes than previously thought, little is known about their structural makeup. Contributing to this void, considerable technical challenges prevent sophisticated analysis of the meninges at cellular and molecular levels. In addition, removal of the brain and spinal cord from their bony encasement leads to tearing of the tenuous meninges and significant disruption of the delicate inter-membrane arrangements. Also lacking are sufficient molecular targets to identify the various meningeal structural elements, only hinted at so far by scanning electron microscopy. Accordingly, we developed a method to allow removal of brain and spinal meninges while minimizing risk of parenchymal contamination and performed shotgun proteomics on the two meningeal domains. While the vast majority of proteins at both locales overlapped, several proteins – including those of structural nature – were exclusive to brain or spinal meninges. Targeting proteins revealed in the proteomic data, the cellular and extracellular elements that provide the meninges’ structure were identified using confocal and electron microscopy, and were observed for the first time in high-resolution

Project description:Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the Lewis rat, produces an an acute weakness, or paralysis of the tail and hind limb ataxia ,weakness or paralysis associated with increased permiability of the blood brain barrier, inflammation and demyelination in central nervous system (CNS). Clinical symptoms , ascending weakness or paralysis of the tail followed by the hind limbs and in rare cases the fore limbs occurs 8 and 14 days post immunisation (dpi) and is generally resolved completely by day 20 dpi. We have carried out transcriptome analysis of total RNA from the spinal cords of female Lewis rats at the peak of disease (EAE) and age matched healthy controls to identify exon expression changes associated with the disease. In these data sets we include the exon expression data obtained from total RNA preparations from the spinal cords of female Lewis rats sacrificed at the clinical peak of MBP induced EAE and age matched , untreated, healthy controls. 8 total RNA samples were prepared. A two way ANOVA comparison carried out in Partek Genomics Suite was used to detect differences in exon expression in the spinal cord of female lewis rats with MBP induced EAE and age matched healthy controls.

This data was used to obtain 2265 mapped IDS wich identified 1190 known genes which were differentially expressed in the spinal cord in EAE compared to healthy animals. 8 total RNA samples were prepared. A two way ANOVA comparison carried out in Partek Genomics Suite was used to detect gene transcripts for which the expression levels varied significantly (un-adjusted p-values M-bM-^IM-$ 0.05) from the healthy controls. 2265 mapped IDs were uploaded to the Ingenuity pathway analysis suite (IPA) where 1190 known genes were identified as being differentially regulated between groups. An FDR M-bM-^IM-$ 5% and fold change limit of +/- 4.0 further refined the data set to identify the 72 most highly and significantly differentially regulated genes in the spinal cord at the clinical peak of disease in MBP induced EAE in the Lewis rat.

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are organized aggregates of B and T cells formed ectopically during different life periods in response to inflammation, infection, or cancer. Here, we describe formation of structures reminiscence of TLS in the spinal cord meninges under several central nervous system (CNS) pathologies. Following acute spinal cord injury, B and T lymphocytes locally aggregate within the meninges to form TLS, which continue to accumulate during the late phase of repair, with a negative impact on subsequent pathological conditions, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Using a chronic model of spinal cord pathology, the mSOD1 mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, we further showed by single cell RNA-sequencing that a meningeal lymphocyte niche forms, with a unique organization and activation state, including accumulation of pre-B cells in the spinal cord meninges. Such a response was not found in the CNS-draining cervical lymph nodes. The present findings suggest that a unique immune response develops in the meninges during various neurological pathologies in the CNS, a reflection of its immune privileged nature.

Project description:The brain and spinal cord are endowed with particular vascular systems, known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) respectively, which maintain homeostasis between nervous parenchyma and peripheral circulation. Despite these common features, the BSCB presents structural and functional differences resulting in distinct vulnerability to pathological insults when compared to the BBB. Although, the heterogeneity of endothelial cell types underlies their remarkable ability to sub-specialize and provide specific requirements for a given vascular bed, very little is known concerning intrinsic differences between microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) derived from brain (BMECs) and spinal cord (SCMECs), including their response to inflammation. We used Agilent Whole Rattus Genome Microarray 4X44K to compare rat BMECs and SCMECs in both basal and inflammatory conditions; TNF-α-induced, TWEAK-induced and LPS-induced gene expression after 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr and 48 hr incubation.
