Description
The molecular mechanisms underlying asplenia, a condition often associated with overwhelming infections remain largely unknown. During spleen development, the transcription factor TLX1 controls morphogenesis and organ expansion, and loss of it causes spleen agenesis. However, the downstream signaling pathways that are deregulated in the absence of TLX1 are mostly unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that loss of Tlx1 in the splenic mesenchyme causes increased retinoic acid (RA) signaling. Increased RA activity causes premature differentiation of the splenic mesenchyme and reduced vasculogenesis of the splenic anlage. Moreover, excess or deficiency in RA signaling, as observed in Cyp26b1 or Rdh10 mutants respectively, also results in spleen growth arrest. Genome-wide analysis revealed that TLX1 binds RA-associated genes through the AP-1 site and cooperates with the AP-1 family transcription factors to regulate transcription. Pharmacological inhibition of RA signaling partially rescues the spleen defect. These findings establish the critical role of TLX1 in controlling RA metabolism, and provide novel mechanistic insights into the molecular determinants underlying congenital asplenia.

Description
The innate immune cell compartment is highly diverse in the healthy central nervous system (CNS) including parenchymal and non-parenchymal macrophages. However, this complexity is increased in inflammatory settings by the recruitment of circulating myeloid cells. It is unclear which disease-specific myeloid subsets exist and what their transcriptional profiles and dynamics during CNS pathology are. By combining deep single-cell transcriptome analysis, fate mapping, in vivo imaging, clonal analysis, and transgenic lines, we comprehensively characterized unappreciated myeloid subsets in several CNS compartments during neuroinflammation. During inflammation, CNS macrophage subsets undergo self-renewal, and random proliferation shifted towards clonal expansion. Finally, functional studies demonstrated that endogenous CNS tissue macrophages are redundant for antigen presentation. Our results highlight myeloid cell diversity and provide insights into the brain's innate immune system. Overall design: CD45+ cells isolated from different CNS compartments (including leptomeninges, perivascular space and parenchyma, and choroid plexus) and Ly6Chigh and Ly6Clow monocytes from blood were FACS-sorted in 384-well plates and used for scRNAseq. All myeloid cells were sorted from C57BL/6N mice with 8-10 weeks of age at naive stage or at different stages of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (preclinical, onset and peak of the disease). Data are representative of 16-18 mice from three independent experiments. mCEL-Seq2 protocol was used for single cell sequencing (Hashimshony et al. 2016, Herman et al. 2018).

Description
Microglia are tissue macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) that control tissue homeostasis, and as such they are crucially important for organ integrity. Microglia dysregulation is thought to be causal for a group of neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases, called microgliopathies. However, how the intracellular stimulation machinery in microglia is controlled is poorly understood. By using expression studies, we identified the ubiquitin-specific protease (Usp) 18 in white matter microglia that essentially contributes to microglial quiescence under homeostatic conditions. We further found that microglial Usp18 negatively regulated the activation of STAT1 and concomitant induction of interferon-induced genes thereby disabling the termination of IFN signalling. Unexpectedly, the Usp18-mediated feedback loop was independent from the catalytic domain of the protease but instead required the interacting region of Ifnar2. Additionally, the absence of Ifnar1 completely rescued microglial activation indicating a tonic IFN signal mediated by receptor interactions under non-diseased conditions. Finally, conditional depletion of Usp18 only in myeloid cells significantly enhanced the disease burden in a mouse model of CNS autoimmunity, increased axonal and myelin damage and determined the spatial distributions of CNS lesions that shared the same STAT1 signature as myeloid cells found in active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. These results identify Usp18 as novel negative regulator of microglia activation, demonstrate a protective role of the IFNAR pathway for microglia and establish Usp18 as potential therapeutic target for the treatment of MS.
