Recent studies suggest that migration of Th1 and Th17 cells specific for enteric bacteria from the gut to the CNS may lead to the initiation and\/or exacerbation of autoimmune diseases including MS. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR15 is an MHC class II (MHCII) haplotype highly associated with the development of MS that contains the two HLA-DRB* genes, DRB1*1501 (DR2b) and DRB5*0101 (DR2a). To identify enteric bacteria which harbor antigenic epitopes that activate myelin-specific T cells and drive CNS inflammation, we screened for enteric bacteria which express cross-reactive epitopes (\u2018mimotopes\u2019) of an immunodominant myelin basic protein 89\u201398 (MBP89-98) epitope. Based on known MHCII HLA-DR2a amino acid binding motifs and cultivation with splenic T cells isolated from MBP-T cell receptor (TCR)\/DR2a transgenic (Tg) mice, we discovered that a certain variant of surface layer protein A (SLPA), which is expressed by a subtype of Clostridioides difficile, contains an amino acid sequence that activates MBP89-98-reactive T cells. Furthermore, activation of MBP-specific T cells by SLPA upon active immunization induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in MBP-TCR\/DR2a Tg mice. This study suggests that a unique strain of C. difficile possesses an encephalitogenic mimotope of MBP that activates autoreactive, myelin-specific T cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms9010034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,24]],"date-time":"2020-12-24T09:02:44Z","timestamp":1608800564000},"page":"34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Surface Layer Protein A Expressed in Clostridioides difficile DJNS06-36 Possesses an Encephalitogenic Mimotope of Myelin Basic Protein"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"John E.","family":"Mindur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA"},{"name":"Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudhir K.","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoko","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mitsutoshi","family":"Senoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology II, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo 208-001, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haru","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology II, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo 208-001, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suhayl","family":"Dhib-Jalbut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kouichi","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1097\/WCO.0000000000000205","article-title":"Advances in the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis","volume":"28","author":"Yadav","year":"2015","journal-title":"Curr.
