CNS-localized myeloid cells capture living invading T cells during neuroinflammation.

Abstract
To study the role of myeloid cells in the central nervous system (CNS) in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we used intravital microscopy, assessing local cellular interactions in vivo in EAE animals and ex vivo in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. We discovered that myeloid cells actively engulf invading living Th17 lymphocytes, a process mediated by expression of activation-dependent lectin and its T cell-binding partner, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Stable engulfment resulted in the death of the engulfed cells, and, remarkably, enhancement of GlcNAc exposure on T cells in the CNS ameliorated clinical EAE symptoms. These findings demonstrate the ability of myeloid cells to directly react to pathogenic T cell infiltration by engulfing living T cells. Amelioration of EAE via GlcNAc treatment suggests a novel first-defense pathway of myeloid cells as an initial response to CNS invasion and demonstrates that T cell engulfment by myeloid cells can be therapeutically exploited in vivo.

Potential for Targeting Myeloid Cells in Controlling CNS Inflammation
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33123148/
Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is characterized by immune cell infiltration to the central nervous system (CNS) as well as loss of myelin. Characterization of the cells in lesions of MS patients revealed an important accumulation of myeloid cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Data from the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS supports the importance of peripheral myeloid cells in the disease pathology. However, the majority of MS therapies focus on lymphocytes. As we will discuss in this review, multiple strategies are now in place to target myeloid cells in clinical trials. These strategies have emerged from data in both human and mouse studies. We discuss strategies targeting myeloid cell migration, growth factors and cytokines, biological functions (with a focus on miRNAs), and immunological activities (with a focus on nanoparticles).
