Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system: mechanisms and therapies

Coordinators : R. Liblau / A. Saoudi

Scientific Objectives


Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that usually begins in young adulthood and progressively leads to disability in most patients. Due to its increasing prevalence, its chronic course, and the partial effect of current disease-modifying drugs, MS has major socio-economical consequences. The overarching objective of our team is to decipher the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases that target the CNS, with a particular focus on MS as well as other CNS autoimmune or infectious diseases.

Our Projects


AXE 1: T cells in autoimmune diseases of the CNS: migration, functions and regulation

Our aim is to better understand the cellular and molecular determinants leading to ageing and inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS).

To this end we have gathered unique experimental models as well as biological samples from patients. We wish to study the transmigration and effector functions of T cells, notably CD8 T cells, using several animal models of CNS inflammation that we have recently developed in the laboratory. More specifically:

1/ We study the immune mechanisms underlying type 1 narcolepsy, a chronic sleep disorder secondary to the loss of hypothalamic neurons secreting orexin/hypocretin. To this end, we study PBMCs and CSF from patients with type 1 narcolepsy, patients with other sleep disorders and healthy individuals. In addition, we have developed a unique mouse model of immune-mediated narcolepsy allowing us to study the mechanisms of hypothalamus tissue damage as well as the link between type 1 narcolepsy and the pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccine of 2009.

2/ Prof. Guillaume Martin-Blondel et Roland Liblau evaluate, using both in vivo mouse models and in vitro co-culture experiments, the bilateral interactions between T cells and BBB endothelial cells and their potential contribution to the development of inflammatory diseases of the CNS (ageing, multiple sclerosis, SUSAC syndrome, cerebral malaria,… ).

3/ In the frame of paraneoplastic neurological diseases we evaluate the mechanistic link between anti-tumor immune responses, cancer immunotherapy, and autoimmunity within the CNS.

4/ Using animal models of multiple sclerosis, we evaluate the possibility to reprogram regulatory T cells for therapeutic goals.

AXE 2: Role of environmental factors in regulating T cells in the context of MS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading cause of neurological disability affecting over 2.8 million individuals worldwide. There is currently no cure for MS as the etiology of the disease remains mostly unknown. MS is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that results from immune dysregulation, driven by a complex interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. T cells play a key role in MS, with defective regulatory functions. T cell homeostasis is controlled by a series of proteins expressed on their surface that control their activation and differentiation, including the complement regulator CD46. Alteration of the CD46 pathway is described in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases, including MS, with dysfunctional induction of Tr1 cells, secreting IL-10.

Among environment factors linked to MS, Vitamin D deficiency is a growing public health problem proposed as a major risk factor, with an established correlation between low vitamin D levels and increased MS incidence and severity. However, the mechanisms involved are still mostly unknown.

Our group focuses on the mechanisms regulating human T cell activation and how environmental factors, such as Vitamin D deficiency, affect T cell activation and may contribute to pathogenesis. We also investigate how polymorphisms of genes associated with increased risk for MS contribute to this complex interaction.

Our main goals are to understand regulation of T cell differentiation and notably of Tr1 cells, and to determine the impact of vitamin D in T cells. We dissect the molecular mechanisms involved using primary human T cells from healthy donors and patients with MS. Our ultimate goal is to uncover novel pathways that could provide new immunotherapeutic targets for MS.

AXE 3: Role of T cell signaling molecules in central nervous system inflammation

 
Controlled T cell immunity is a prerequisite for health. An unbalanced response may lead to autoimmune diseases if the immune system reacts too strongly, or allow tumor expansion due to inadequate immune response. Hence, the control mechanisms for accurate T cell activation and differentiation are essential to maintain a good immune homeostasis. Signaling after the engagement of receptors expressed by T cells play an important role in controlling T cell functions and polymorphism or deficiency for these signaling genes could predispose to immune-mediated diseases.

In this regards, our recent studies revealed the implication of Vav1, Themis, CD46 and CD226 in T cell functions and susceptibility to immune mediated disorders. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which these signaling molecules cooperate to regulate T cell function remain unknown.

The objectives of our project are therefore to:
AIM1: To investigate, using novel genetically engineered murine models, how Themis1 and Vav1 signaling molecules regulate T cell functions by dissecting the molecular mechanisms involved.
AIM2: To study how CD226 and CD46 contribute to aberrant response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
AIM3: To analyze how environmental factors, or their deficiency such as ultraviolet radiation, affect T cell activation and may contribute to pathogenesis.

AXE4: Transcription factors in normal and pathological immune responses

 
Our group main interest is to dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms whereby transcription factors drive immune responses in the central nervous sytem

We recently demonstrated that the transcription factor Foxo3 plays a key role in the physiopathology of CNS autoimmunity since Foxo3-deficiency is associated with a significant decrease in the severity of EAE. We also provided evidence that this decreased severity of EAE is the consequence of the inability of Foxo3-deficient CD4 T cells to differentiate into pathogenic T helper-1 (Th1) cells producing interferon- (IFN- and granulocyte monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). At the molecular level, we showed that the Foxo3-Eomes axis is central to achieve the complete specialized gene program required for pathogenic Th1 cell differentiation and development of neuroinflammation.

In direct line with these data, our current project is to analyze the functions of the transcription factor Eomes in normal and pathological conditions and to evaluate the relevance of our results in humans by assessing the impact of a functional defect of FOXO3 and/or EOMES on T cell function from healthy donors or MS patients.

We also investigate the role of transcription factors in the management of neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, we recently observed that Foxo3 deficient mice are resistant to the induction of neuronal death in a Parkinson’s disease model. We are now trying to elucidate the role of different cell types (neurons, microglia, CD4 T) deficient in Foxo3 in this neuroprotection, to characterize their translational and metabolic state, and interactions. We aim at proposing new therapeutics targeting both neuronal death and neuroinflammation in these multifactorial pathologies.

Societal impact

Our team aims at understanding the cellular and molecular determinants leading to inflammation and autoimmunity in the central nervous system. To this end, we have generated unique genetically modified mouse models on which innovative research can be conducted ranging from mechanistic studies to pre-clinical therapeutic testing. We have also developed unique biological resources from patients with MS or narcolepsy that allow us to translate directly to the clinic the relevance of our key findings (identification or validation of pathways contributing to disease susceptibility, identification of new biomarkers). Finally, we are involved in investigator-initiated therapeutic trials that open new possibilities for patients with CNS inflammatory or infectious diseases.

Our team is composed of a mix of senior and more junior investigators from seven countries and diverse backgrounds (physician, scientist, veterinary, pharmacist…). This favors a vivid and dynamic scientific environment and provides unique opportunities to develop both basic and translational research and even investigator-sponsored clinical trials. We benefit from a solid international visibility in the field of neuroimmunology. National and international collaborations of the highest scientific level have been built over the years. These networks give access to both scientific inputs and technological expertise for our projects. Some of our current lines of research have raised interest from Biotech or Pharma such as GSK, Biogen and Genzyme providing possible alternative sources of funding, while keeping our research independent.
Our team has been successful in obtaining a number of grants for the proposed projects from local, national or international origins.
