Teriflunomide as a therapeutic means for myelin repair

Peter Goettle et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that teriflunomide modulates oligodendroglial precursor cell homeostasis and promotes myelin repair in the cuprizone mediated de-/remyelination model. Teriflunomide treatment accelerates the generation of oligodendrocytes and restoration of myelin sheaths, and restores mitochondrial integrity within oligodendroglial cells. These findings highlight the importance of de novo pyrimidine synthesis inhibition and mitochondrial homeostasis in successful myelin repair and axonal protection.

Interplay between activation of endogenous retroviruses and inflammation as common pathogenic mechanism in neurological and psychiatric disorders

Joel Gruchot et al.

Summary: Human endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are retroviral elements integrated into our genome through germline infections and insertions, and have been implicated in the pathophysiology of various disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system. Increasing evidence suggests that the induction and expression of ERVs are associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, and a common factor in these disorders is the presence of chronic inflammation. This review discusses the bidirectional relationship between ERV expression and inflammation, and identifies several pathways that contribute to this relationship.

SARS-CoV-2 awakens ancient retroviral genes and the expression of proinflammatory HERV-W envelope protein in COVID-19 patients

Benjamin Charvet et al.

Summary: Patients with COVID-19 may exhibit abnormal inflammatory responses, leading to severe disease and long-lasting syndromes. In this study, it was found that exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in vitro can activate the expression of HERV-W proinflammatory envelope protein (ENV) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, independently of ACE2 receptor and infection. HERV-W ENV was detected in plasma and/or sera of COVID-19 patients, and its levels correlated with ENV expression in T lymphocytes and disease severity. HERV-W ENV was also present in postmortem tissues from various organs of COVID-19 patients. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can induce the expression of HERV-W envelope protein, and its involvement in the immunopathogenesis of certain COVID-19-associated syndromes emphasizes its relevance in personalized treatment development.

Clonally expanded B cells in multiple sclerosis bind EBV EBNA1 and GlialCAM

Tobias Lanz et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where autoreactive lymphocytes attack the central nervous system. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been linked to MS, with molecular mimicry between EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and central nervous system protein GlialCAM. EBNA1 immunization exacerbates disease in MS mouse models and anti-EBNA1 and anti-GlialCAM antibodies are prevalent in MS patients, providing a mechanistic link between MS and EBV and guiding the development of new MS therapies.

Efficacy and safety of temelimab in multiple sclerosis: Results of a randomized phase 2b and extension study

Hans-Peter Hartung et al.

Summary: The study did not meet its primary endpoint, but at 48 weeks participants treated with 18 mg/kg temelimab had fewer new T1-hypointense lesions. They also showed consistent, although statistically non-significant, reductions in brain atrophy and magnetization transfer ratio decrease compared to the placebo/comparator group. These trends were sustained over 96 weeks with no safety issues emerging.

CD8+ T cells induce interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes and microglia in white matter aging

Tugberk Kaya et al.

Summary: This study identified age-related alterations of oligodendrocyte cell state in aging murine white matter and found interferon (IFN)-responsive oligodendrocytes in proximity to CD8(+) T cells. Functional lymphocytes were shown to influence the number of IFN-responsive oligodendrocytes, with T-cell checkpoint inhibition exacerbating the aging response.

Myelin repair is fostered by the corticosteroid medrysone specifically acting on astroglial subpopulations

Markley Silva Oliveira et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of medrysone on astrocytes and stem cell niches in a chronic demyelination model. The results show that medrysone can promote the recovery of mature oligodendrocytes, myelin expression, and node formation, and enhance the co-expression of C3d/S100a10 in astrocytes.

Summary: The study identified novel small molecules that can promote oligodendroglial cell differentiation and found that some compounds can enhance human oligodendrogenesis and myelination in vitro. Steroid danazol and anthelminthic parbendazole were shown to increase myelin repair, suggesting their potential as therapeutic candidates for demyelinating diseases.

Evidence of the pathogenic HERV-W envelope expression in T lymphocytes in association with the respiratory outcome of COVID-19 patients

Emanuela Balestrieri et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the expression of HERV-W ENV in the blood of COVID-19 patients, finding that it was highly expressed in patients' leukocytes and correlated with markers of T-cell differentiation, exhaustion, blood cytokine levels, inflammatory markers, and pneumonia severity. HERV-W ENV expression also reflected the respiratory outcome of patients during hospitalization, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for predicting disease progression and as a target for further therapeutic interventions.

Human Endogenous Retrovirus Type W Envelope from Multiple Sclerosis Demyelinating Lesions Shows Unique Solubility and Antigenic Characteristics

Benjamin Charvet et al.

Summary: The soluble pHERV-W ENV antigen in MS brain lesions show differences from syncytin-1, with stable hexamer structures associated with sulfatides and stabilized by hydrophobic and hydrophilic bonds. Research suggests that this diffusible antigen may play a major role in MS pathogenesis, paving the way for improved detection methods and understanding of HERVs in MS.

Complement component 3 from astrocytes mediates retinal ganglion cell loss during neuroinflammation

Marjan Gharagozloo et al.

Summary: The study found that C3 expression in the eyes of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be related to neuronal cell damage, while global C3(-/-) EAE mice have less retinal ganglion cell loss. These data reveal the important role of C3 in neurologic pathology, providing important clues for the study of retinal neurodegeneration.

A lymphocyte-microglia-astrocyte axis in chronic active multiple sclerosis

Martina Absinta et al.

Summary: Through MRI-guided single-nucleus RNA sequencing, a diversity of glial and immune cells at the edge of demyelinated white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) have been identified, along with the definition of inflamed glial cell phenotypes in MS. The overlap of the transcriptional profile of microglia inflamed in MS with that in other neurodegenerative diseases suggests common mechanisms between primary and secondary neurodegeneration that could benefit from similar therapeutic approaches. The critical role of complement component 1q (C1q) in the activation of microglia inflamed in MS has been identified and potential therapeutic avenues, such as C1q inhibition, have been suggested for addressing chronic white matter inflammation.

A Unique Type of Highly-Activated Microglia Evoking Brain Inflammation via Mif/Cd74 Signaling Axis in Aged Mice

Chenghao Jin et al.

Summary: The study investigated the senescence-associated alterations of microglia in the aged brain at the single cell level, revealing six subgroups of microglia with unique functions. Among them, a unique type of highly activated microglia (HAM) was observed only in aged mice. Mechanistically, neuron-released Mif acted through Cd74 receptor in HAM to promote immunochemotactic activity of microglia, triggering immuno-inflammatory responses in aged brains. These findings may provide new targets for reducing age-related brain inflammation and maintaining brain health.
