Blood-brain barrier dysfunction in epilepsy: Time for translation

Alon Friedman
Dalhousie University
Feb 27, 2024

The neurovascular unit (NVU) consists of cerebral blood vessels, neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and pericytes. It plays a vital role in regulating blood flow and ensuring the proper functioning of neural circuits. Among other, this is made possible by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which acts as both a physical and functional barrier. Previous studies have shown that dysfunction of the BBB is common in most neurological disorders and is associated with neural dysfunction. Our studies have demonstrated that BBB dysfunction results in the transformation of astrocytes through transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. This leads to activation of the innate neuroinflammatory system, changes in the extracellular matrix, and pathological plasticity. These changes ultimately result in dysfunction of the cortical circuit, lower seizure threshold, and spontaneous seizures. Blocking TGFβ signaling and its associated pro-inflammatory pathway can prevent this cascade of events, reduces neuroinflammation, repairs BBB dysfunction, and prevents post-injury epilepsy, as shown in experimental rodents. To further understand and assess BBB integrity in human epilepsy, we developed a novel imaging technique that quantitatively measures BBB permeability. Our findings have confirmed that BBB dysfunction is common in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and can assist in identifying the ictal-onset zone prior to surgery. Current clinical studies are ongoing to explore the potential of targeting BBB dysfunction as a novel treatment approach and investigate its role in drug resistance, the spread of seizures, and comorbidities associated with epilepsy.

Astrocyte reprogramming / activation and brain homeostasis

Thomaidou Dimitra
Department of Neurobiology, Hellenic Pasteur Institute, Athens, Greece
Dec 12, 2023

Astrocytes are multifunctional glial cells, implicated in neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, supporting and fine-tuning neuronal activity and maintaining brain homeostasis by controlling blood-brain barrier permeability. During the last years a number of studies have shown that astrocytes can also be converted into neurons if they force-express neurogenic transcription factors or miRNAs. Direct astrocytic reprogramming to induced-neurons (iNs) is a powerful approach for manipulating cell fate, as it takes advantage of the intrinsic neural stem cell (NSC) potential of brain resident reactive astrocytes. To this end, astrocytic cell fate conversion to iNs has been well-established in vitro and in vivo using combinations of transcription factors (TFs) or chemical cocktails. Challenging the expression of lineage-specific TFs is accompanied by changes in the expression of miRNAs, that post-transcriptionally modulate high numbers of neurogenesis-promoting factors and have therefore been introduced, supplementary or alternatively to TFs, to instruct direct neuronal reprogramming. The neurogenic miRNA miR-124 has been employed in direct reprogramming protocols supplementary to neurogenic TFs and other miRNAs to enhance direct neurogenic conversion by suppressing multiple non-neuronal targets. In our group we aimed to investigate whether miR-124 is sufficient to drive direct reprogramming of astrocytes to induced-neurons (iNs) on its own both in vitro and in vivo and elucidate its independent mechanism of reprogramming action. Our in vitro data indicate that miR-124 is a potent driver of the reprogramming switch of astrocytes towards an immature neuronal fate. Elucidation of the molecular pathways being triggered by miR-124 by RNA-seq analysis revealed that miR-124 is sufficient to instruct reprogramming of cortical astrocytes to immature induced-neurons (iNs) in vitro by down-regulating genes with important regulatory roles in astrocytic function. Among these, the RNA binding protein Zfp36l1, implicated in ARE-mediated mRNA decay, was found to be a direct target of miR-124, that be its turn targets neuronal-specific proteins participating in cortical development, which get de-repressed in miR-124-iNs. Furthermore, miR-124 is potent to guide direct neuronal reprogramming of reactive astrocytes to iNs of cortical identity following cortical trauma, a novel finding confirming its robust reprogramming action within the cortical microenvironment under neuroinflammatory conditions. In parallel to their reprogramming properties, astrocytes also participate in the maintenance of blood-brain barrier integrity, which ensures the physiological functioning of the central nervous system and gets affected contributing to the pathology of several neurodegenerative diseases. To study in real time the dynamic physical interactions of astrocytes with brain vasculature under homeostatic and pathological conditions, we performed 2-photon brain intravital imaging in a mouse model of systemic neuroinflammation, known to trigger astrogliosis and microgliosis and to evoke changes in astrocytic contact with brain vasculature. Our in vivo findings indicate that following neuroinflammation the endfeet of activated perivascular astrocytes lose their close proximity and physiological cross-talk with vasculature, however this event is at compensated by the cross-talk of astrocytes with activated microglia, safeguarding blood vessel coverage and maintenance of blood-brain integrity.

Neuroinflammation in Epilepsy: what have we learned from human brain tissue specimens ?

Eleonora Aronica
Amsterdam UMC
Oct 24, 2023

Epileptogenesis is a gradual and dynamic process leading to difficult-to-treat seizures. Several cellular, molecular, and pathophysiologic mechanisms, including the activation of inflammatory processes.  The use of human brain tissue represents a crucial strategy to advance our understanding of the underlying neuropathology and the molecular and cellular basis of epilepsy and related cognitive and behavioral comorbidities,  The mounting evidence obtained during the past decade has emphasized the critical role of inflammation  in the pathophysiological processes implicated in a large spectrum of genetic and acquired forms of  focal epilepsies. Dissecting the cellular and molecular mediators of  the pathological immune responses and their convergent and divergent mechanisms, is a major requisite for delineating their role in the establishment of epileptogenic networks. The role of small regulatory molecules involved in the regulation of  specific pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways  and the crosstalk between neuroinflammation and oxidative stress will be addressed.    The observations supporting the activation of both innate and adaptive immune responses in human focal epilepsy will be discussed and elaborated, highlighting specific inflammatory pathways as potential targets for antiepileptic, disease-modifying therapeutic strategies.

The role of CNS microglia in health and disease

Kyrargyri Vassiliki
Department of Immunology, Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Hellenic Pasteur Institute, Athens, Greece
Oct 24, 2023

Microglia are the resident CNS macrophages of the brain parenchyma. They have many and opposing roles in health and disease, ranging from inflammatory to anti-inflammatory and protective functions, depending on the developmental stage and the disease context. In Multiple Sclerosis, microglia are involved to important hallmarks of the disease, such as inflammation, demyelination, axonal damage and remyelination, however the exact mechanisms controlling their transformation towards a protective or devastating phenotype during the disease progression remains largely unknown until now. We wish to understand how brain microglia respond to demyelinating insults and how their behaviour changes in recovery. To do so we developed a novel histopathological analysis approach in 3D and a cell-based analysis tool that when applied in the cuprizone model of demyelination revealed region- and disease- dependent changes in microglial dynamics in the brain grey matter during demyelination and remyelination. We now use similar approaches with the aim to unravel sensitive changes in microglial dynamics during neuroinflammation in the EAE model. Furthermore, we employ constitutive knockout and tamoxifen-inducible gene-targeting approaches, immunological techniques, genetics and bioinformatics and currently seek to clarify the specific role of the brain resident microglial NF-κB molecular pathway versus other tissue macrophages in EAE.

WEBINAR 1 Breaking the barrier: Using focused ultrasound for the development of targeted therapies for brain tumours presented by Dr Ekaterina (Caty) Salimova, Monash Biomedical Imaging Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) - brain cancer - is aggressive and difficult to treat as systemic therapies are hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Focused ultrasound (FUS) - a non-invasive technique that can induce targeted temporary disruption of the BBB – is a promising tool to improve GBM treatments. In this webinar, Dr Ekaterina Salimova will discuss the MRI-guided FUS modality at MBI and her research to develop novel targeted therapies for brain tumours. Dr Ekaterina (Caty) Salimova is a Research Fellow in the Preclinical Team at Monash Biomedical Imaging. Her research interests include imaging cardiovascular disease and MRI-guided focused ultrasound for investigating new therapeutic targets in neuro-oncology. - WEBINAR 2 Disposition of the Kv1.3 inhibitory peptide HsTX1[R14A], a novel attenuator of neuroinflammation presented by Sanjeevini Babu Reddiar, Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences The voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv1.3) in microglia regulates membrane potential and pro-inflammatory functions, and non-selective blockade of Kv1.3 has shown anti-inflammatory and disease improvement in animal models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Therefore, specific inhibitors of pro-inflammatory microglial processes with CNS bioavailability are urgently needed, as disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative disorders are lacking. In this webinar, PhD candidate Ms Sanju Reddiar will discuss the synthesis and biodistribution of a Kv1.3-inhibitory peptide using a [64Cu]Cu-DOTA labelled conjugate. Sanjeevini Babu Reddiar is a PhD student at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. She is working on a project identifying the factors governing the brain disposition and blood-brain barrier permeability of a Kv1.3-blocking peptide.

Tapeworm larvae in the brain: cellular mechanisms of epilepsy in neurocysticercosis

Joseph Raimondo
University of Cape Town
Aug 3, 2021

Cerebral infection by the larvae of the cestode, Taenia solium (neurocysticercosis), is thought to be the leading cause of adult-acquired epilepsy worldwide. Despite this, little is known about the cellular mechanisms that underlie seizure development in this condition. In this talk I will present our recent data exploring multiple interactions between cestode larvae, neuroinflammatory processes and network excitability. We find that viable cestode larvae are able to strongly suppress microglial activation and inflammatory cytokine release with consequences for the modulation host neuroinflammatory responses and seizure development in vivo. At the same time, larvae produce and release glutamate, with acute excitatory effects on neuronal circuits. We hope that an improved understanding of epileptogenic mechanisms in neurocysticercosis will one day improve the management of this condition as well as other inflammatory causes of epilepsy.

Role of Oxytocin in regulating microglia functions to prevent brain damage of the developing brain

Olivier Baud
Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Development and growth laboratory, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Feb 1, 2021

Every year, 30 million infants worldwide are delivered after intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 15 million are born preterm. These two conditions are the leading causes of ante/perinatal stress and brain injury responsible for neurocognitive and behavioral disorders in more than 9 million children each year. Both prematurity and IUGR are associated with perinatal systemic inflammation, a key factor associated with neuroinflammation and identified to be the best predictor of subsequent neurological impairments. Most of pharmacological candidates have failed to demonstrate any beneficial effect to prevent perinatal brain damage. In contrast, environmental enrichment based on developmental care, skin-to-skin contact and vocal/music intervention appears to confer positive effects on brain structure and function. However, mechanisms underlying these effects remain unknown. There is strong evidence that an adverse environment during pregnancy and the perinatal period can influence hormonal responses of the newborn with long-lasting neurobehavioral consequences in infancy and adulthood. Excessive cortisol release in response to perinatal stress induces pro-inflammatory and brain-programming effects. These deleterious effects are known to be balanced by Oxytocin (OT), a neuropeptide playing a key role during the perinatal period and parturition, in social behavior and regulating the central inflammatory response to injury in the adult brain. Using a rodent model of IUGR associated with perinatal brain damage, we recently reported that Carbetocin, a brain permeable long-lasting OT receptor (OTR) agonist, was associated with a significant reduction of activated microglia, the primary immune cells of the brain. Moreover this reduced microglia reactivity was associated to a long-term neuroprotection. These findings make OT a promising candidate for neonatal neuroprotection through neuroinflammation regulation. However, the causality between the endogenous OT and central inflammation response to injury has not been established and will be further studied by the lab.

What about antibiotics for the treatment of the dyskinesia induced by L-DOPA?

Elaine Del-Bel
Professor of Physiology,Department of Morphology, Physiology and Basic Pathology, School of Dentistry, Ribeirão Preto (FORP), University of São Paulo.
Dec 13, 2020

L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is a debilitating adverse effect of treating Parkinson’s disease with this drug. New therapeutic approaches that prevent or attenuate this side effect is clearly needed. Wistar adult male rats submitted to 6-hydroxydopamine-induced unilateral medial forebrain bundle lesions were treated with L-DOPA (oral or subcutaneous, 20 mg kg-1) once a day for 14 days. After this period, we tested if doxycycline (40 mg kg-1, intraperitoneal, a subantimicrobial dose) and COL-3 (50 and 100 nmol, intracerebroventricular) could reverse LID. In an additional experiment, doxycycline was also administered repeatedly with L-DOPA to verify if it would prevent LID development. A single injection of doxycycline or COL-3 together with L-DOPA attenuated the dyskinesia. Co-treatment with doxycycline from the first day of L-DOPA suppressed the onset of dyskinesia. The improved motor responses to L-DOPA remained intact in the presence of doxycycline or COL-3, indicating the preservation of L-DOPA-produced benefits. Doxycycline treatment was associated with decreased immunoreactivity of FosB, cyclooxygenase-2, the astroglial protein GFAP and the microglial protein OX-42 which are elevated in the basal ganglia of rats exhibiting dyskinesia. Doxycycline also decreased metalloproteinase-2/-9 activity, metalloproteinase-3 expression and reactive oxygen species production. Metalloproteinase-2/-9 activity and production of reactive oxygen species in the basal ganglia of dyskinetic rats showed a significant correlation with the intensity of dyskinesia. The present study demonstrates the anti-dyskinetic potential of doxycycline and its analog compound COL-3 in hemiparkinsonian rats. Given the long-established and safe clinical use of doxycycline, this study suggests that these drugs might be tested to reduce or to prevent L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s patients.

Sexual dimorphism of microglia

Susanne A. Wolf

Nov 16, 2020

Sex differences in brain structure and function are of substantial scientific interest because of sex-related susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disorders. Neuroinflammation is a common denominator of many of these diseases and thus microglia as the brain´s immunocompetent and instrumental cells has come into focus in sex specific studies. We and others show that male microglia are more frequent in specific brain areas and appear to have a higher potential to respond to stimuli, whereas female microglia seem to acquire a more “protective” phenotype.

Carnosine negatively modulates pro-oxidant activities of M1 peripheral macrophages and prevents neuroinflammation induced by amyloid-β in microglial cells

Giuseppe Caruso
Department of Drug Sciences, University of Catania
Sep 30, 2020

Carnosine is a natural dipeptide widely distributed in mammalian tissues and exists at particularly high concentrations in skeletal and cardiac muscles and brain. A growing body of evidence shows that carnosine is involved in many cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress, including inhibition of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation, modulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, and scavenging both reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. Different types of cells are involved in the innate immune response, with macrophage cells representing those primarily activated, especially under different diseases characterized by oxidative stress and systemic inflammation such as depression and cardiovascular disorders. Microglia, the tissue-resident macrophages of the brain, are emerging as a central player in regulating key pathways in central nervous system inflammation; with specific regard to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) these cells exert a dual role: on one hand promoting the clearance of Aβ via phagocytosis, on the other hand increasing neuroinflammation through the secretion of inflammatory mediators and free radicals. The activity of carnosine was tested in an in vitro model of macrophage activation (M1) (RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with LPS + IFN-γ) and in a well-validated model of Aβ-induced neuroinflammation (BV-2 microglia treated with Aβ oligomers). An ample set of techniques/assays including MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion test, high performance liquid chromatography, high-throughput real-time PCR, western blot, atomic force microscopy, microchip electrophoresis coupled to laser-induced fluorescence, and ELISA aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of carnosine was employed. In our experimental model of macrophage activation (M1), therapeutic concentrations of carnosine exerted the following effects: 1) an increased degradation rate of NO into its non-toxic end-products nitrite and nitrate; 2) the amelioration of the macrophage energy state, by restoring nucleoside triphosphates and counterbalancing the changes in ATP/ADP, NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH ratio obtained by LPS + IFN-γ induction; 3) a reduced expression of pro-oxidant enzymes (NADPH oxidase, Cyclooxygenase-2) and of the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde; 4) the rescue of antioxidant enzymes expression (Glutathione peroxidase 1, Superoxide dismutase 2, Catalase); 5) an increased synthesis of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) combined with the negative modulation of interleukines 1β and 6 (IL-1β and IL-6), and 6) the induction of nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). In our experimental model of Aβ-induced neuroinflammation, carnosine: 1) prevented cell death in BV-2 cells challenged with Aβ oligomers; 2) lowered oxidative stress by decreasing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and NADPH oxidase, and the concentrations of nitric oxide and superoxide anion; 3) decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β simultaneously rescuing IL-10 levels and increasing the expression and the release of TGF-β1; 4) prevented Aβ-induced neurodegeneration in primary mixed neuronal cultures challenged with Aβ oligomers and these neuroprotective effects was completely abolished by SB431542, a selective inhibitor of type-1 TGF-β receptor. Overall, our data suggest a novel multimodal mechanism of action of carnosine underlying its protective effects in macrophages and microglia and the therapeutic potential of this dipeptide in counteracting pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory phenomena observed in different disorders characterized by elevated levels of oxidative stress and inflammation such as depression, cardiovascular disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease.
