Plasma sphingolipid changes with autopsy-confirmed Lewy body or Alzheimer's pathology

ABSTRACT: We identified four groups with available plasma 2 years before death: high (n = 12) and intermediate-likelihood DLB (n = 14) based on the third report of the DLB consortium; dementia with Alzheimer's pathology (AD; n = 18); and cognitively normal with normal aging pathology (n = 21). Lipids were measured using ESI/MS/MS.

Altered oligodendrocyte heterogeneity in Multiple sclerosis.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte (OL) pathology is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, as they are involved in metabolic support of axons and functional cross-talk with other brain cells. Rodent OLs are heterogeneous, with developmental and biological differences, but the extent of heterogeneity in the normal human brain and its contribution to any changes of disease remains unknown. Here we performed single nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) from white matter (WM) areas of post mortem human brain both in control (Ctr) and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We identified several sub-clusters of oligodendroglia in the Ctr human WM, some similar to those in mouse, and defined new markers for these. Strikingly, some of these sub-clusters were under-represented in MS tissue, while others were more prevalent than in controls. There was a lack of OL precursor cells (OPCs) and OLs in an intermediate stage of differentiation in MS lesions and in normal appearing white matter (NAWM), suggesting either depletion by the disease or by a regenerative response. The differences in mature OL sub-clusters indicate different functional states of OLs in MS tissue and, as this is similar in NAWM to lesions, that MS is a more diffuse brain disease than the focal demyelinating lesions suggest. We were also able to identify new markers of different MS lesion subtypes. Our findings of an altered heterogeneity of oligodendroglia in MS may have an important contribution to our understanding of disease progression and may alter therapeutic approaches to MS.

Gene expression profiling of multiple sclerosis pathology identifies early patterns of demyelination surrounding chronic active lesions

Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS), activated microglia and infiltrating macrophages phagocytose myelin focally in (chronic) active lesions. These demyelinating sites expand in time, but at some point turn inactive into a sclerotic scar. To identify molecular mechanisms underlying lesion activity and halt, we analyzed genome-wide gene expression in rim and peri-lesional regions of chronic active and inactive MS lesions, as well as in control tissue. Gene clustering revealed patterns of gene expression specifically associated with MS and with the presumed, subsequent stages of lesion development. Next to genes involved in immune functions, we found regulation of novel genes in and around the rim of chronic active lesions, such as NPY, KANK4, NCAN, TKTL1, and ANO4. Of note, the presence of many foamy macrophages in active rims was accompanied by a congruent upregulation of genes related to lipid binding, such as MSR1, CD68, CXCL16, and OLR1, and lipid uptake, such as CHIT1, GPNMB, and CCL18. Except CCL18, these genes were already upregulated in regions around active MS lesions, showing that such lesions are indeed expanding. In vitro downregulation of the scavenger receptors MSR1 and CXCL16 reduced myelin uptake. In conclusion, this study provides the gene expression profile of different aspects of MS pathology and indicates that early demyelination, mediated by scavenger receptors, is already present in regions around active MS lesions. Genes involved in early demyelination events in regions surrounding chronic active MS lesions might be promising therapeutic targets to stop lesion expansion.

Proteomic Profiling of the Substantia Nigra to Identify Determinants of Lewy Body Pathology and Dopaminergic Neuronal Loss

Project description:Proteinaceous aggregates containing alpha-synuclein protein called Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. The molecular mechanisms of Lewy body formation and associated neuronal loss remain largely unknown. To gain insights on proteins and pathways associated with Lewy body pathology, we performed quantitative profiling of the proteome. We analyzed substantia nigra tissue from 51 subjects arranged into three groups: cases with Lewy body pathology, Lewy body-negative controls with matching neuronal loss and controls with no neuronal loss. Using label-free LC-MS/MS approach we quantified the 2,963 most abundant proteins. Statistical testing for differential protein abundance, followed by pathway enrichment and Bayesian learning of the causal network structure were performed to identify likely drivers of Lewy body formation and dopaminergic neuronal loss. The identified pathways include (1) Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; (2) synaptic function; (3) poly(A) RNA binding; (4) basement membrane and endothelium; and (5) hydrogen peroxide metabolic process. According to the data, the endothelial/basement membrane pathway is tightly connected with both pathologies and likely to be one of the drivers of the neuronal loss. The poly(A) RNA-binding proteins, including the ones relevant to other neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. TDP-43 and FUS) have strong inverse correlation with Lewy bodies and may reflect alternative mechanism of nigral neurodegeneration.

CD8 T cells induce perforin-dependent pathology in Leishmania braziliensis infection

Project description:The mechanisms that mediate immunopathologic responses in infectious diseases are often less well understood than how the pathogens are controlled. Here, we have investigated what causes increased pathology following infection with the protozoan parasite, Leishmania braziliensis. We focused on CD8 T cells since their presence in leishmanial lesions has been correlated with increased disease. By adoptively transferring CD8 T cells to L. braziliensis infected RAG mice, we found that unregulated CD8 T cells promote severe pathology at the infection site, as well as the development of metastatic lesions in other skin sites. In mice with severe pathology, we visualized CD8 T cells degranulating and lysing L. braziliensis infected cells, and in parallel studies with L. braziliensis patients we confirmed that CD8 T cells within lesions exhibit a cytolytic phenotype. We found that perforin deficient CD8 T cells failed to induce disease, indicating that the increased disease induced by CD8 T cells was due perforin-dependent cytotoxicity. In contrast, although we found that CD8 T cells made both IFN-γ and IL-17, neither of these cytokines is required for the development of pathology. Thus, we show for the first time that immunopathology in leishmaniasis can be mediated by cytolytic CD8 T cells. Twelve skin biopsy samples were analyzed, including 2 normal skin biopsies obtained from patients in N. America, and 10 skin biosies obtained from Leishmania brazilensis infected patients presenting at the Corte de Pedra Health Post in Corte de Pedra, Bahia, Brazil

Epigenome-wide association study of human frontal cortex identifies differential methylation in Lewy body pathology

Project description:The goal of the study was to investigate if DNA methylation is associated with Lewy body pathology in human brain tissue. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in postmortem human frontal cortex samples from European donors in the Netherlands Brain Bank. Following quality checks, sample filtering and normalization, association between CpG methylation and Braak alpha-synuclein stage was assessed using linear models.

Transcriptional profiling of human microglia reveals grey-white matter heterogeneity and multiple sclerosis-associated changes

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.
