Loss of the molecular clock in myeloid cells exacerbates T cell-mediated CNS autoimmune disease

Abstract: The transcription factor BMAL1 is a core component of the molecular clock, regulating biological pathways that drive 24 h (circadian) rhythms in behaviour and physiology. The molecular clock has a profound influence on innate immune function, and circadian disruption is linked with increased incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the mechanisms underlying this association are unknown. Here we show that BMAL1 and time-of-day regulate the accumulation and activation of various immune cells in a CNS autoi… Show more

“…This temporal immune response in EAE was confirmed in another study where BMAL1 deficiency in myeloid cells (Lyz2-cre:Arntl flox ) also abolished the time-of-day difference in EAE severity of symptoms. Of note, BMAL1-deficient myeloid cells caused a hyperinflammatory environment in the central nervous system through the expansion and infiltration of IL-1b-secreting inflammatory monocytes, which coincided with enhanced severity of EAE relative to control animals [79]. Collectively, these data in mouse models support the cell-autonomous role of BMAL1 in both T cells and myeloid cells in modulating both rhythmic immune cell functions and the severity of autoimmune diseases.…”

“…Dendritic cell culture DCs were expanded from bone marrow from naive C57BL/6 mice using GM-CSF as described. 49 Human DCs were generated from PBMCs of healthy donors following a protocol modified from Baleeiro et al 50 Briefly, PBMC derived monocytes were cultured in RPMI with GM-CSF (50 ng/ml) and IL-4 (40 ng/ml) (both Peprotech) for 7 days.…”
