Autoimmunity of the Brain: two tertiary lymph regions

Autoimmune disease in the area of the brain: Autoimmune hypothesis is that two infections on one target trigger autoimmunity but one infection must be an outside infection and the other an inside infection.

Neuromyelitis Optica which has antibodies to aquaporin disrupts the blood brain barrier.

Neuromyelitis has been linked to both mycobacterias and viruses like dengue.

 Consider the two zones of the lymph split in the brain into literally two different regions.

Where the choroid plexus deals with the outer antigens and the blood brain barrier is the inner antigens.



For mycobacteria the main outside pathway involves Eosinophils.  So the IgG4 is created to stop the eosinophils.

IgG4 antibodies and shutting down outer pathways...considered again.

IgG4 are the autoimmune antibodies which shut down the outer pathway so the immune system can focus on the inside pathway.

Autoimmune hypothesis: Two infections on one target triggers autoimmune disease. One infection inside and one infection outside of the cell.

Does the B cell that gets pulled from outside antigen pathways to inside antigen pathways become the IgG4 producing B cell with the goal of shutting down the outside pathways?

This would mean that the IgG4 would be similar based on the large infection and the pathway stopped if the autoimmune diseases share the same large infection.    For example, all mycobacteria triggered autoimmune diseases would have the same IgG4 against aquaporins.

IgG4 antibodies represent a down-regulatory response

Anti-leiomodin

Nodding disease is triggered by the parasitic worm and what virus? The IgG4 was found against leiomodin-1.  Nodding disease is autoimmune disease of the skin where the autoantigen attacks the brain?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis: two infections on one tissue. The reaction is at the skin but then the antibody attacks the brain?

 For these worms how does this work? The Leiomodin-1 antibody bound the worms...but they were IgG4?

When exposed to cold temperatures or food the children nod their heads uncontrollably. The hippocampus of the brain is responsible for body temperature sensations and hunger urges.

The worm is not in the hippocampus but the autoantibody shows up there.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28202777

Which virus at the skin has co-infected and caused the IgG4?

Does this mean that leiomodin-1 is involved with eosinophils degranulation attack? Since eosinophils at the main cell type attacking the worms how would this work?

How does gluten fit into the autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis?

New hypothesis: Two separate zones for inner and outer antigens in lymph organs.

ILF the inducible lymph follicle deals with the inner antigens while the peyer patch deals with the outer antigens of the mucosal membranes.

ILF  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12759424

E.coli infections would involve the outer pathways. At the mucosal's peyer patch they would see high growth hormone GH thus produce IgA.

According to the Cross-targeting hypothesis when a second inner infection appears and calls the B cell to the ILF zone and away from the peyer patch....the B cell becomes a regulatory autoimmune B cell which secretes IgG4 antibodies that stop the outer pathways.

The Secondary Lymph organs have separate zones for inner and outer antigens

The secondary lymph organs are strategically situated to intercept infections.  The lymph glands capture the infections that breach the skin's barrier.  The ILF and peyer patches guard the mucosal membranes.  The blood brain barrier and the choroid plexus protects the brain.  The spleen filters the blood removing not just dead blood cells but infections that have reached there.  The omentum monitors and protects the peritoneal cavity which  contains the stomach, the liver, the large and small intestines, the kidneys, the gall bladder,  the pancreas, and the adrenal glands.

All secondary lymph organs  have separate zones for fighting inner and outer antigens.

The inner antigens are processed by embryonic HSC derived macrophages. These macrophages communicate with and pass antigens to marginal reticular stromal cells or Astrocyte stromal cells.  These cells with antigen evolve into follicular dendritic cells and secrete CXCL13 calling the B and the T cells to them.  The dendritic cells are derived from adult HSC monocytes. These monocyte derived dendritic cells are the antigen presenting cells to the T cells.  For inner antigens the T cell makes the determination at this point if the antigen is foreign.

The outer antigens are collected by langerhans, marginal zone B cells, B1, or Resident Tissue macrophages (of the CP)  all of which differentiated from the yolk sac not the HSC of the bone marrow.  These yolk sac derived cells communicate and pass antigens on to fibroblastic reticular stromal cells. These antigen holding FRC become follicular dendritic cells with B7-2 involvement and secrete CXCL13.  These FDC cells hand the antigen off to B cells who do the antigen presenting to the T cell.  For outer antigens the B cell determines if the antigen is foreign.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15767291

Based on our patten of inside and outside antigens is seems that the outer antigens would be collected by the B1 cells and processed by the MSC cells while the inner antigens would be taken up by the pericytes and shown to the myeloid derived stromal cells.

Chorioid Plexus compared to the BBB blood brain barrier and the hypothesis that they deal with different antigens.


Each of the brain's ventricles has their own CP region

Capillary blood is filtered here at the CP to become cerebrospinal fluid.

Resident macrophages and dendritic cells are in the CP
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3496674/

Note that resident macrophages come from the yolk and focus on outer antigens while travel monocytes come from bone marrow and develop into dendritic cells or macrophages that deal with inner antigens based on the hormone that they see. High insulin favors macrophages while IGF-1 or GH exposed monocytes develop into dendritic cells.

old post about Bee allergy and T.gondii
https://angelabiggs.blogspot.com/2015/04/tgondii-and-bee-venom.html

T.gondii infects the cytosol. Previous hypothesis was that IgG2 is the antibody made against cytosol infections.  I was sorting the Fc receptors with the IgGsubsets...when this occurred to me.

These are not proven just appears to be a pattern
cd16 (fcgammaRIII) binds IgG3 which is high on platelets? mito/nucl viruses
cd16 (fcgammaRIV) binds IgG2b which is high on eosinophils? cytosol infection?
cd64 (fcgammaRI) binds IgG2a cytosol virus?
cd32 (fcgammaRII) binds IgG1 and is high on Langerhans?  outer antigens

Is this why the patients with insect allergy would have cd16?

T.gondii and Bee venom


Do people with bee sting allergies have t.gondii infections?

I have connected T.gondii with a variety of things: Seizures, Epilepsy, schizophrenia....but they are all  autoimmune which means cross-targeting autoimmunity must be occurring. A virus has to trigger the attack at the target tissue from the inside.  Are these autoimmune diseases all bee sensitive because of their connection to T.gondii?

Hymenoptera are the venom group of  Apoidea (bees), Vespoidea (wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets), and Formicidae (ants). 

What is it in the bee sting that Toxoplasmas dislike? perhaps the compound apamin which can cross the blood brain barrier. (our nerves don't like it either)

il-27 suppressed il-5 and il-13 from TH2 cells which is used against parasites in the cytosol. Which means il-27 could be strictly a cytokine for viruses or for DNA from cancer in the cytosol?

https://www.jimmunol.org/content/179/7/4415

When does the B cell decide to make il-27? Does the T follicular cell recognize it as DNA and signal back to the B cell?

IgG2, cytosol infections, and the lectin pathway.

Complement activation and Antibodies
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20151159

Classical pathway: IgG1 and IgG3

Alternative and lectin: IgG2 and IgG4

LPS triggers the TLR4 or the lectin-mannose complement activation.  These tend to be the type of infections that can move inside of cells.  Some infections move into the vacuoles and organelles others the cytosol.

Strep has even been shown to move inside of cells allowing the bacteria to survive antibiotics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK333420/

Stromal cells produce cxcl13 attracting B cells and they have 3 areas of importance



Stromal cells produce cxcl13 attracting B cells and they have 3 areas of importance: two stromal cells in the lymph node ; one area is for internal antigens and  the other area is for outer antigens. The third stromal cell area is for catching infections that have escaped the gut's organs in the omentum zone.

adipose stromal cells
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3481843/

omentum milky fat spots have adipose stromal cells (ASC) which produce the CXCL13
the B1 cells involved there are the primary source of IgM
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265860846_Human_adipose_tissue-derived_mesenchymal_stromal_cells_promote_B-cell_motility_and_chemoattraction

Marginal Reticular cells MRC are mesenchymal stromal cells of the scs area

Fibroblastic Reticular cells  FRC are bundled into the conduit leading to the follicular dendritic cells

All 3 of these stromal subsets make cxcl13 which attract B cells and follicular T cells thus creating the germinal centers
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28454789

The MRC-SCS zone creates antibodies against the inner antigens (IgG2 or IgG3)  while the FRC-FDC zone creates the antigens against the outer antigens.  (IgG1 at the spleen, IgE at the lymph, and IgA dimers in peyer patches.)  The milky spots with the ASC attract the B1 cells thus producing IgM.

MRC was thought to transport antigens from SCS to FDC which could be the differentiation of MRC into FDC of inner antigens.
http://jem.rupress.org/content/211/6/1109
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=jem.20132409

Does SCS not present to B cells directly rather hands the antigen to MRC who presents?

Here is a paper that has the SCS handing off to a nonphagocytic cell they call ATC (antigen transporting cell ) that appears to mature into a FDC type of cell

Behcet's Disease is it a cross-targeting autoimmune disease?



The autoimmune hypothesis pattern: an infection first inducing antibodies followed by a viral infection which causes cross-targeting thus triggering the immune system to attack causing autoimmune disease. 

For Behcet's disease the infection culprits are Streptococcus sanguinis and herpes simplex (mouth ulcers)

I found a strange overlap with MS and Behcet's.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12645628 

For MS I have as psoriasis or eczema with herpes zoster triggering the autoimmune disease.    

Could this be an entirely different type of MS? Where the strep has opened the blood brain barrier and the herpes virus is there?  Is this actually a form of Alzheimer's?   Where the herpes simplex virus is destroying the mitochondria?  Or do I need to become much more specific with the herpes viruses? That could be the case.  

Balo was/is a different type of MS where the virus is a hepatitis C virus and causing the ring shaped lesions. Balo is really a distinct autoimmune disease from MS.

IgG4 antibodies

Autoimmune hypothesis: Two infections on one target triggers autoimmune disease. One infection inside and one infection outside of the cell.

Does the B cell that gets pulled from outside antigen pathways to inside antigen pathways become the IgG4 producing B cell with the goal of shutting down the outside pathways?

This would mean that the IgG4 would be similar based on the large infection and the pathway stopped if the autoimmune diseases share the same large infection.    For example, all mycobacteria triggered autoimmune diseases would have the same IgG4 against aquaporins.

IgG4 antibodies represent a down-regulatory response

Anti-leiomodin

Nodding disease is triggered by the parasitic worm and what virus? The IgG4 was found against leiomodin-1.  Nodding disease is autoimmune disease of the skin where the autoantigen attacks the brain?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis: two infections on one tissue. The reaction is at the skin but then the antibody attacks the brain?

 For these worms how does this work? The Leiomodin-1 antibody bound the worms...but they were IgG4?

When exposed to cold temperatures or food the children nod their heads uncontrollably. The hippocampus of the brain is responsible for body temperature sensations and hunger urges.

The worm is not in the hippocampus but the autoantibody shows up there.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28202777

Which virus at the skin has co-infected and caused the IgG4?

Does this mean that leiomodin-1 is involved with eosinophils degranulation attack? Since eosinophils at the main cell type attacking the worms how would this work?
