B-cells expressing NgR1 and NgR3 are localized to EAE-induced inflammatory infiltrates and are stimulated by BAFF
Abstract We have previously reported evidence that Nogo-A activation of Nogo-receptor 1 (NgR1) can drive axonal dystrophy during the neurological progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the B-cell activating factor (BAFF/BlyS) may also be an important ligand of NgR d...

| Sumario: | Abstract We have previously reported evidence that Nogo-A activation of Nogo-receptor 1 (NgR1) can drive axonal dystrophy during the neurological progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the B-cell activating factor (BAFF/BlyS) may also be an important ligand of NgR during neuroinflammation. In the current study we define that NgR1 and its homologs may contribute to immune cell signaling during EAE. Meningeal B-cells expressing NgR1 and NgR3 were identified within the lumbosacral spinal cords of ngr1 +/+ EAE-induced mice at clinical score 1. Furthermore, increased secretion of immunoglobulins that bound to central nervous system myelin were shown to be generated from isolated NgR1- and NgR3-expressing B-cells of ngr1 +/+ EAE-induced mice. In vitro BAFF stimulation of NgR1- and NgR3-expressing B cells, directed them into the cell cycle DNA synthesis phase. However, when we antagonized BAFF signaling by co-incubation with recombinant BAFF-R, NgR1-Fc, or NgR3 peptides, the B cells remained in the G0/G1 phase. The data suggest that B cells express NgR1 and NgR3 during EAE, being localized to infiltrates of the meninges and that their regulation is governed by BAFF signaling. |
