Reproducing the pathophysiology of human multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models is critical to identifying mechanisms triggering demyelination and to developing early intervention strategies. Here, we aimed to model overactivated Wnt (wingless-related integration site) signaling previously shown in postmortem brain tissues of patients with MS by inducing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in PdgfraCreER;Apcfl/fl and Olig2Cre;Apcfl/fl mice. These mice have overactivated Wnt signaling in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) because of a conditional knockout of the pathway repressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). PdgfraCreER;Apcfl/fl EAE mice exhibited increased expression of markers for Wnt activation such as Axis inhibition protein 2 (AXIN2) and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) in OPCs and showed exacerbated EAE progression in both the spinal cord and the brain. Genetic or antibody-mediated ablation of CC-chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4) prevented infiltration of CD4+ T cells and arrested disease progression in these mice. A characterization of CNS (central nervous system) immune cell clusters identified an augmented subpopulation of NK1.1+CD11b+Gr-1+ cytotoxic macrophages in PdgfraCreER;Apcfl/fl EAE mice. Microinjection of this subpopulation of macrophages into the brains of wild-type C57/B6J mice was sufficient to induce demyelination. Ablation of CD4+ T cells prevented the effects of Wnt overactivation on demyelination and immune cell infiltration. Antagonizing chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) using a European Medicines Agency-approved drug, maraviroc, reduced immune cell infiltration, alleviated demyelination, and attenuated EAE progression. We found an OPC-orchestrated immune cellular network that instigates early demyelination, provides insight into MS pathophysiology, and suggests avenues for early interventions.
