Microglia and astrocytes modulate inflammation and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia modulate pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic activities in astrocytes, but the mechanisms involved are not completely understood. Here we report that TGF-α and VEGF-B produced by microglia regulate astrocyte pathogenic activities in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Microglia-derived TGF-α acts via ErbB1 in astrocytes to limit their pathogenic activities and EAE development. Conversely, microglial VEGF-B triggers FLT-1 signaling in astrocytes and worsens EAE. VEGF-B and TGF-α also participate in the microglial control of human astrocytes. Furthermore, TGF-α and VEGF-B expression in CD14+ cells correlates with MS lesion stage. Finally, metabolites of dietary tryptophan (Trp) produced by the commensal flora control microglial activation and TGF-α and VEGF-B production, modulating the transcriptional program of astrocytes and CNS inflammation through a mechanism mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). In summary, we identified novel positive and negative regulators that mediate the microglial control of astrocytes. Moreover, these findings define a pathway through which microbial metabolites limit pathogenic activities in microglia and astrocytes, suppressing CNS inflammation. This pathway may guide new therapies for MS and other neurologic disorders.
