    Abstract Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to underlie disease progression and permanent disability. Many mechanisms of neurodegeneration in MS have been proposed, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and RNA-binding protein dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to highlight mechanisms of neurodegeneration in MS and its models, with a focus on RNA-binding protein dysfunction. Studying RNA-binding protein dysfunction addresses a gap in our understanding of the pathogenesis of MS, which will allow for novel therapies to be generated to attenuate neurodegeneration before irreversible central nervous system damage occurs.

    Abstract Oligodendrocyte (OL) damage and death are prominent features of multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology, yet mechanisms contributing to OL loss are incompletely understood. Dysfunctional RNA binding proteins (RBPs), hallmarked by nucleocytoplasmic mislocalization and altered expression, have been shown to result in cell loss in neurologic diseases, including in MS. Since we previously observed that the RBP heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) was dysfunctional in neurons in MS, we hypothesized that it might also contribute to OL pathology in MS and relevant models. We discovered that hnRNP A1 dysfunction is characteristic of OLs in MS brains. These findings were recapitulated in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model of MS, where hnRNP A1 dysfunction was characteristic of OLs, including oligodendrocyte precursor cells and mature OLs in which hnRNP A1 dysfunction correlated with demyelination. We also found that hnRNP A1 dysfunction was induced by IFNγ, indicating that inflammation influences hnRNP A1 function. To fully understand the effects of hnRNP A1 dysfunction on OLs, we performed siRNA knockdown of hnRNP A1, followed by RNA sequencing. RNA sequencing detected over 4000 differentially expressed transcripts revealing alterations to RNA metabolism, cell morphology, and programmed cell death pathways. We confirmed that hnRNP A1 knockdown was detrimental to OLs and induced apoptosis and necroptosis. Together, these data demonstrate a critical role for hnRNP A1 in proper OL functioning and survival and suggest a potential mechanism of OL damage and death in MS that involves hnRNP A1 dysfunction.

    Abstract Neurodegeneration is the primary driver of disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS) resulting in permanent disability, creating an urgent need to discover its underlying mechanisms. Herein, we establish that dysfunction of the RNA binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) results in differential of binding to RNA targets causing alternative RNA splicing, which contributes to neurodegeneration in MS and its models. Using RNAseq of MS brains, we discovered differential expression and aberrant splicing of hnRNP A1 target RNAs involved in neuronal function and RNA homeostasis. We confirmed this in vivo in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis employing CLIPseq specific for hnRNP A1, where hnRNP A1 differentially binds and regulates RNA, including aberrantly spliced targets identified in human samples. Additionally, dysfunctional hnRNP A1 expression in neurons caused neurite loss and identical changes in splicing, corroborating hnRNP A1 dysfunction as a cause of neurodegeneration. Collectively, these data indicate hnRNP A1 dysfunction causes altered neuronal RNA splicing, resulting in neurodegeneration in MS.

    Abstract Altered stress granule (SG) and RNA-binding protein (RBP) biology have been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, yet little is known about their role in multiple sclerosis (MS). Pathological features associated with dysfunctional RBPs include RBP mislocalization from its normal nuclear location to the cytoplasm and the formation of chronic SGs. We tested the hypothesis that altered SG and RBP biology might contribute to the neurodegeneration in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). C57BL/6 female mice were actively immunized with MOG

    Abstract Neurodegeneration, the progressive loss or damage to neurons and axons, underlies permanent disability in multiple sclerosis (MS); yet its mechanisms are incompletely understood. Recent data indicates autoimmunity to several intraneuronal antigens, including the RNA binding protein (RBP) heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1), as contributors to neurodegeneration. We previously showed that addition of anti-hnRNP A1 antibodies, which target the same immunodominant domain of MS IgG, to mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) worsened disease and resulted in an exacerbation of hnRNP A1 dysfunction including cytoplasmic mislocalization of hnRNP A1, stress granule (SG) formation and neurodegeneration in the chronic stages of disease. Because this previous study focused on a singular timepoint during EAE, it is unclear whether anti-hnRNP A1 antibody induced hnRNP A1 dysfunction caused neurodegeneration or was result of it. In the present study, we analyzed in vivo and in vitro models of anti-hnRNP A1 antibody-mediated autoimmunity for markers of hnRNP A1 dysfunction and neurodegeneration over a time course to gain a better understanding of the connection between hnRNP A1 dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Anti-hnRNP A1 antibody treatment resulted in increased neuronal hnRNP A1 mislocalization and nuclear depletion temporally followed by altered RNA expression and SG formation, and lastly an increase in necroptotic signalling and neuronal cell death. Treatment with necrostatin-1s inhibited necroptosis and partially rescued anti-hnRNP A1 antibody-mediated neurodegeneration while clathrin knockdown specifically inhibited anti-hnRNP A1 antibody uptake into neurons. This data identifies a novel antibody-mediated mechanism of neurodegeneration, which may be targeted to inhibit neurodegeneration and prevent permanent neurological decline in persons living with MS.

    Abstract Neurodegeneration, including loss of neurons and axons, is a feature of progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are mostly unknown. Research implicates autoimmunity to nonmyelin self-antigens as important contributors to disease pathogenesis. Data from our lab implicate autoimmunity to the RNA binding protein (RBP) heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) as a possible mechanism of neurodegeneration in MS. MS patients make antibodies to hnRNP A1, which have been shown to lead to neuronal dysfunction in vitro. Using an animal model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we show here that injection of anti-hnRNP A1 antibodies, in contrast to control antibodies, resulted in worsened disease and increased neurodegeneration. We found a reduction of NeuN
