TMT-Based Quantitative Proteomics of Cerebrospinal Fluid Reveals Molecular Signatures of Lymphatic Drainage Impairment in Young Rats

ABSTRACT: The glymphatic system facilitates the clearance of interstitial solutes and waste products from the brain parenchyma, channeling them into the meningeal lymphatic vessels for subsequent drainage into the deep cervical lymph nodes (dcLNs). However, the extent to which this lymphatic outflow via dcLNs is essential for maintaining cerebral homeostasis remains insufficiently understood. To address this, we performed high-resolution proteomic profiling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 3-month-old rats using Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)–based quantitative mass spectrometry. This approach enabled the sensitive detection of proteomic perturbations in the CSF resulting from impaired lymphatic drainage. A total of six CSF samples from 3-month-old rats (n=6) were analyzed. TMT 10-plex–based quantitative proteomics revealed 4,089 proteins, among which 357 exhibited statistically significant differential expression (p < 0.05). These proteomic alterations indicated early signs of cellular stress and low-grade inflammation. Pathway enrichment analysis further revealed upregulation of molecular cascades associated with neurodegenerative processes, even in this relatively young cohort, following lymphatic disruption.

Proteomic Profiling of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Adult Rats with Compromised Lymphatic Drainage Using DIA-PASEF

Project description:The glymphatic system’s outflow of “dirty” brain fluids collects in the meningeal lymphatic vessels, which drain via lymphatic collectors primarily to the deep cervical lymph nodes (dcLN). It is unclear, however, whether lymphatic dcLN drainage is a prerequisite for normal cerebral homeostasis. Here, we applied proteomic profiling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using Data-Dependent Acquisition (DDA) and Data-Independent Acquisition Parallel Accumulation–Serial Fragmentation (DIA PASEF) approaches to characterize the CSF obtained from 3-month-old young rats. The study included two sets of samples: Sham (n=5) and Cauterized dcLN (n=4). For spectral library generation, 20% of each digested sample was pooled and analyzed using timsTOF Pro2 in DDA PASEF mode. Following bottom-up analysis, enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) identified several pathways indicative of a damaging phenotype and cellular stress-related neurodegeneration. The CSF proteomic analysis revealed cellular stress in the form of low-grade inflammation and up-regulation of pathways associated with neurodegeneration in young rats with lymphatic drainage impairment. Our findings illuminate the brain’s age-dependent adaptive mechanisms to chronic mechanical stress and underscore the urgency of developing targeted therapies for lymphatic dysfunction.

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.

Proteomics characterization of extracellular vesicles sorted by flow cytometry reveals a disease-specific molecular cross-talk from cerebrospinal fluid and tears in multiple sclerosis

Project description:Several proteomics studies have been conducted to identify new cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis (MuS). However, the complexity of CSF and its invasive collection, limits its use. Therefore, the goal of biomarker research in MuS is to identify novel distinctive targets in CSF or in easily accessible biofluids. Tears represent an interesting matrix for this purpose, because (1) tears are related to the central nervous system (CNS) and (2) the CNS contains Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from brain cells. These EVs are emerging new biomarkers associated to several neurological disorders. Here we applied an optimized flow cytometer for the identification and subtyping of EVs from CSF and tears. We found, for the first time, microglia-derived and neural-derived EVs in tears. The flow cytometer was used to sort and purify 106 EVs from untouched CSF and tears of MuS patients and healthy subjects. Purified EVs were analysed with shotgun proteomics analysis, revealing that EVs from both CSF and tears of MuS patients conveyed similar proteins. Our data demonstrated a specific EVs-mediated molecular cross talk between CSF and tears, which opens the door to new diagnostic perspectives for MuS.

Qualitative and label-free quantitative analysis of protein changes in the lymphatic muscle cells isolated in a hind-limb lymphatic injury model in the sheep

Project description:We developed a large animal model, with clinically relevant gravitational loading on the lymphatic vasculature, that enables longitudinal tracking of lymphatic function in vivo as well as end-point analysis of vessel function and mechanics. One of two parallel lymphatic vessels in the sheep hind limb was ligated with the contralateral limb acting as an internal control. To determine the changes in the protein expression profiles in the lymphatic muscle cells from the remodeled vessel compared to the control, we expanded isolated LMC in vitro and performed bottom-up proteomic analysis using a Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer. Label-free quantitative (LFQ) methods directly used the raw spectral data from parallel MS runs to determine relative protein abundances. We used both “MS/MS (MS2) spectral counting” and “precursor MS1 area” methods for label free quantitation and further contrasting the differentially expressed proteomic profiles across the control and remodeled lymphatic muscle samples to determine the alterations in mitochondrial dysfunction and elevated oxidative stress within the lymphatic muscle.

Cerebral Venous Blood Flow Regulates Brain Fluid Clearance via Dural Lymphatics

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the vascular system regulates brain clearance via arterial blood flow and the lymphatic drainage of CSF. Here, we examined the hypothesis that cerebral venous blood flow may participate in brain clearance as an intermediate compartment between the arterial and lymphatic poles of the vascular system. Transcriptomic analyses provided insights into the molecular mechanisms driving dural lymphatic remodeling within the dura mater.

Label free-DDA nano-LC/MS/MS analysis of Human Mesenteric lymph collected from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects.

Project description:Compromise of the intestinal barrier have been associated with a series of inflammatory conditions where the routine controls nutrient absorption and pathogens exclusion is lost to different degrees. The intestinal epithelial cells form a barrier of selective permeability which protects from invasion by the normal bacteria present in the gut. When the barrier is compromised, bacteria and their products can attack the cells and cause inflammation, which can (in severe cases) cause sepsis. Mesenteric lymph nodes play a crucial role in the immune response and are of particular importance in the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients due to their involvement in the disease process. To assess the efficiency of gut immune barrier, we collected the pre-nodal lymph from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects and performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis. The current study is complementary extension of the proteomics signature found in DSS-induced colitis mouse model, providing an insight in the lymph composition, and associated biochemical changes, in the set of samples (n=6) recruited from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), subjects undergoing intestinal resection. Following bottom-up analysis, the enrichment analysis – GO and Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) analysis identified several pathways pointing towards a damaging phenotype.

Interferon-gamma critically determines dendritic cell function

Project description:A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory cytokines have a dualistic role in immunity. In this study, we sought to determine the direct effects IFN-gamma on the differentiation and maturation of human peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). Here, we report that following differentiation of human peripheral-blood monocytes into moDCs with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induces moDC maturation and up-regulates the co-stimulatory markers CD80, CD86, CD95, and MHC Class I, enabling moDCs to effectively generate antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses for multiple viral and tumor antigens. Interestingly, early exposure of monocytes to high concentrations of IFN-gamma promotes monocyte differentiation into macrophages, despite the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. However, under low concentrations of IFN-gamma, monocytes continue to differentiate into dendritic cells possessing a unique gene-expression profile, resulting in impairments in subsequent maturation by IFN-gamma and an inability to generate effective antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses compared to standard moDCs. Monocytes differentiated in the presence of low levels of IFN-gamma downregulate IFN-gamma receptor expression, impairing their response to an inflammatory rechallenge. These findings demonstrate the ability of IFN-gamma to impart differential programs on human moDCs which shape the antigen-specific T cell responses they induce. Timing and intensity of exposure to IFN-gamma can thus determine whether moDCs are tolerogenic or immunostimulating. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells from 4 healthy donors were differentiated with either GM-CSF and IL-4 (n=4) or GM-CSF, IL-4, and IFN-gamma (n=4). These samples were subsequently hybridized to arrays as 4 biological repeats for each of the two treatment conditions.

Label free quantitative (LFQ) proteomic analysis of mouse lymphatic endothelial cells and primary mouse dendritic cells in response to IFNgamma treatment in presence or absence of 3-HKA

Project description:To explore the cellular pathways and the molecular functions affected by a novel biogenic amine, (3-HKA), we performed a label free quantitative (LFQ) proteomic analysis of mouse lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC), and primary dendritic cells, treated with IFNgammaplus or minus 3-HKA. Biological triplicates, of total cell lysates, were fractionated by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1DEF) and the “in gel” tryptic derived peptides analyzed by nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS on a Q Exactive HF quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). LFQ analysis highlighted that 3-HKA downregulated many of the inflammatory pathways, more notably JAK/STAT1 and NFkB, associated with IFNgamma activation.

nano-LC/MS/MS analysis of Human Mesenteric lymph endogenous peptidome isolated from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects.

Project description:A compromised pathology of the intestinal barrier have been associated with a series of inflammatory conditions where the routine controls nutrient absorption and pathogens exclusion is lost to different degrees. When the epithelial barrier is compromised, bacteria and their products can attack the cells and cause inflammation, sometime leading to sepsis. Studying the lymph peptidome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can offer valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms, disease progression, and potential therapeutic targets. To assess the efficiency of gut immune barrier, we collected the pre-nodal lymph from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects and performed a comprehensive peptidomic analysis. . The current study is complementary extension of the proteomics signature found in DSS-induced colitis mouse model, providing an insight in the lymph composition inclined to an inflammatory phenotype which was also mirrored by a unique set of peptidome/degradome. Furthermore, the identified peptides mapped to a wide range of intracellular and extracellular pathways, encompassing cellular stress, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation related pathways. A significant fraction of peptides was also found to be derived from bacterial origin with a predicted binding affinity to different MHC I and MHC II human haplotypes.
