Blood coagulation factor XII drives adaptive immunity during neuroinflammation via CD87-mediated modulation of dendritic cells Aberrant immune responses represent the underlying cause of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent evidence implicated the crosstalk between coagulation and immunity in CNS autoimmunity. Here we identify coagulation factor XII (FXII), the initiator of the intrinsic coagulation cascade and the kallikrein-kinin system, as a specific immune cell modulator. High levels of FXII activity are present in the plasma of MS patients during relapse. Deficiency or pharmacologic blockade of FXII renders mice less susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (a model of MS) and is accompanied by reduced numbers of interleukin-17A-producing T cells. Immune activation by FXII is mediated by dendritic cells in a CD87-dependent manner and involves alterations in intracellular cyclic AMP formation. Our study demonstrates that a member of the plasmatic coagulation cascade is a key mediator of autoimmunity. FXII inhibition may provide a strategy to combat MS and other immune-related disorders. 2016 Nature Communications 7 11626 urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-165503 10.1038/ncomms11626 Institut für Anatomie und Zellbiologie OPUS4-4315 Bericht Magnus, Tim; Linker, Ralf A.; Meuth, Sven G.; Kleinschnitz, Christoph; Korn, Thomas Report on the 2nd scientific meeting of the "Verein zur Foerderung des Wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses in der Neurologie" (NEUROWIND e.V.) held in Motzen, Germany, Oct. 29'th - Oct. 31'st, 2010 Summary of the scientific contributions to the NEUROWIND meeting 2010: Contributions in the fields of neuroimmunology and neurodegeneration 2011 urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-68789 Neurologische Klinik und Poliklinik OPUS4-6506 Wissenschaftlicher Artikel Kleinschnitz, Christph; Meuth, Sven G.; Magnus, Tim; Korn, Thomas; Linker, Ralf A.

As a scaffold, it assembles protein complexes for NF-kappa B activation, and its proteolytic domain cleaves negative NF-kappa B regulators for signal enforcement. Still, the physiological functions of Malt1-protease are unknown. We demonstrate that targeted Malt1-paracaspase inactivation induces a lethal inflammatory syndrome with lymphocyte-dependent neurodegeneration in vivo. Paracaspase activity is essential for regulatory T cell (Treg) and innate-like B cell development, but it is largely dispensable for overcoming Malt1-dependent thresholds for lymphocyte activation. In addition to NF-kappa B inhibitors, Malt1 cleaves an entire set of mRNA stability regulators, including Roquin-1, Roquin-2, and Regnase-1, and paracaspase inactivation results in excessive interferon gamma (IFN gamma) production by effector lymphocytes that drive pathology. Together, our results reveal distinct threshold and modulatory functions of Malt1 that differentially control lymphocyte differentiation and activation pathways and demonstrate that selective paracaspase blockage skews systemic immunity toward destructive autoinflammation. 2014 1292-1305 Cell Reports 9 4 urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-114627 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.10.044 Pathologisches Institut
