Project description:Most individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis can control the infection by forming and maintaining TB granulomas at the local infection foci. However, when the chronic infection (also known as latency) becomes active, the caseous center of TB granuloma enlarges, and it liquefies and cavitates, ultimately releasing bacilli into airway. Deciphering how genes are regulated within TB granulomas will help to understand the granuloma biology. Therefore, we performed genome-wide microarray on caseous human pulmonary TB granulomas and compared with normal lung tissues.

Project description:We sought to develop and characterize a novel paucibacillary model in mice, which develop necrotic lung granulomas following infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Paucibacillary infection was established, recapitulating the sterilizing activities of human LTBI regimens. TNF neutralization led to increased lung bacillary load, disrupted granuloma architecture with expanded necrotic foci and reduced tissue hypoxia, and accelerated animal mortality. TNF-neutralized mouse lungs and sera showed significant upregulation of IFN?, IL-1?, IL-6, IL-10, CCL2, CCL3, and matrix metalloproteinase genes Six weeks after aerosol-immunization with recombinant M. bovis BCG overexpressing the 30-kilodalton antigen, C3HeB/FeJ mice were aerosol-infected with M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Six weeks later, mice were treated with one of three standard regimens for latent TB infection (LTBI) or TNF-neutralizing antibody. Mouse lungs were analyzed by histology, positron emission tomography/computed tomography, whole-genome microarrays, and RT-PCR. Lungs and sera were studied by multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays

Project description:Induced lymphoid structures associated with pulmonary granulomas have been observed during TB in both humans and mice and could orchestrate host defense. In order to determine whether granulomas perform lymphoid functions, mice lacking secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). As in wild type mice (WT), granulomas developed, MTB was controlled, and antigen-specific T cell responses including T central memory (TCM) cells were generated in the complete absence of SLOs. Moreover, T cell activation correlated with granuloma formation in these mice and TCM cells accumulated in lungs and participated in protection against secondary MTB infection. Lung granulomas may therefore represent tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) capable of priming robust T cell responses and mediating host defense during chronic MTB at the site of infection.

Project description:Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) is initiated when an aerosol droplet carrying a few bacilli is inhaled into an alveolus. Alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) (type II and type I) are among the first cells encountered by the infecting bacteria and greatly outnumber macrophages in the alveolus. M. tb replicates dramatically (>20,000 fold) in a “non-migrating” compartment in the lung prior to the development of the cell-mediated immune response in aerosol-infected mice (Wolf AJ, 2008). M. tb DNA has been found in type II AEC in autopsied lung tissue of latently infected individuals (Hernandez-Pando R et. al, 2000; Barrios-Payan J et. al 2012), and M. tb-infected AEC in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) and in sputum samples from TB patients indicates the infection of these cells in active as well as latent human TB (Eum SY et. al, 2010). M. tb has been shown to infect and replicate in the human type II AEC line, A549, and passaging of M. tb through A549 increases M. tb invasiveness (Bermudez LE et.al, 2002). In this work, we have used DNA microarray analysis to investigate the transcriptome of M. tb replicating in type II AEC (A549) compared to M. tb grown logarithmically in Middlebrook 7H9 broth media in order to identify M. tb adaptations to this intracellular environment as well as M. tb mechanisms/factors contributing to M. tb replication and increased invasiveness in primary infection. The global gene expression of M. tb H37Rv replicating in A549 cells at 72 hr was compared to that of M. tb grown to log phase in Middlebrook 7H9 media.

Project description:These results were obtained in a controlled longitudinal experiment in which a group of rhesus macaques were exposed to a low dose of Mtb to study their progression to latent infection or active disease. Subsets of the animals were euthanized at scheduled time points, and granulomas taken from their lungs were assayed for gene expression. The clinical profiles associated with the animals following Mtb exposure revealed considerable variability, and we developed models for the disease trajectory for each subject using a Bayesian hierarchical B-spline approach. Disease severity estimates were derived from these fitted curves and included as covariates in linear models to identify genes significantly associated with disease progression. Our results demonstrate that the incorporation of clinical data increases the value of information extracted from the expression profiles and contributes to the identification of predictive biomarkers for TB susceptibility. Samples from 21 animals were included in this study. 18 rhesus macaques were exposed to Mtb and euthanisized according to a pre-defined schedule, and at least two granulomas were extracted from their lungs during necropsy. The remaining three animals were healthy controls and samples represent control lung tissues. The samples were arrayed using an extended loop design with animals grouped according to similar clinical profiles. Biological replication is provided in the form of at least two granuloma samples per animal.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is a heterogeneous disease manifesting in a subset of individuals infected with aerosolized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Unlike human TB, murine infection results in uniformly high lung bacterial burdens and poorly organized granulomas. To develop a TB model that more closely resembles human disease, we infected mice with an ultra-low dose (ULD) of between 1-3 founding bacteria, reflecting a physiologic inoculum. ULD-infected mice exhibited highly heterogeneous bacterial burdens, well-circumscribed granulomas that shared features with human granulomas, and prolonged Mtb containment with unilateral pulmonary infection in some mice. We identified blood RNA signatures in mice infected with an ULD or a conventional Mtb dose (50-100 CFU) that correlated with lung bacterial burdens and predicted Mtb infection outcomes across species, including risk of progression to active TB in humans. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of the mouse TB model and show that ULD infection recapitulates key features of human TB.

Project description:Granulomas are the pathological hallmark of tuberculosis (TB). However, their function and mechanisms of formation remain poorly understood. To understand the role of granulomas in TB, we analyzed the proteomes of granulomas from TB patients in an unbiased fashion. Using laser capture microdissection and mass spectrometry , we generated detailed molecular maps of human granulomas. We found that the centers of granulomas possess a pro-inflammatory environment characterized by anti-microbial peptides, ROS and pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Conversely, the tissue surrounding the caseum possesses a comparatively anti-inflammatory signature.

Project description:Mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) greatly impact on human and animal health worldwide. Mycobacterial life cycle is complex and the mechanisms resulting in pathogen infection and survival in host cells are not fully understood. Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) are natural reservoir hosts for MTBC and a model for mycobacterial infection and tuberculosis (TB). In the wild boar TB model, mycobacterial infection affects the expression of innate and adaptive immune response genes in mandibular lymph nodes and oropharyngeal tonsils and biomarkers have been proposed as correlates with resistance to natural infection. However, the mechanisms used by mycobacteria to manipulate host immune response are not fully characterized. Our hypothesis is that the immune system proteins under-represented in infected animals when compared to uninfected controls are used by mycobacteria to guarantee pathogen infection and transmission. To address this hypothesis, a comparative proteomics approach was used to compare host response between uninfected (TB-) and M. bovis-infected young (TB+) and adult animals with different infection status [TB lesions localized in the head (TB+) or affecting multiple organs (TB++)]. The results identified host immune system proteins that play an important role in host response to mycobacteria. Calcium binding protein A9, Heme peroxidase, Lactotransferrin, Cathelicidin and Peptidoglycan-recognition protein were under-represented in TB+ animals when compared to uninfected TB- controls but protein levels increased as infection progressed in TB++ animals when compared to TB- and/or TB+ adult wild boar. MHCI was the only protein over-represented in TB+ adult wild boar when compared to uninfected TB- controls. The results reported here suggested that M. bovis manipulates host immune response by reducing the production of immune system proteins. However, as infection progresses, wild boar immune response recover to limit pathogen multiplication and promote survival that also facilitates pathogen transmission.

Project description:For further identify the differentiation between latent and clinical tuberculosis (TB), we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to study genes with significant expression change in peripheral CD4+T cells between healthy control, latent tuberculosis (LTB) and clinical tuberculosis (TB). Our experiment included 4 groups: healthy donor (HD), latent TB1 (LTB1) with low IFN-gamma release level, latent TB2 (LTB2) with high IFN-gamma release level, and tuberculosis (TB) with high IFN-gamma release level. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected, from which CD4+T cells were isolated. Total RNA of each individuals of each group was extracted from peripheral CD4+T cells. One ?g of RNA mixture, pooled equivalently by each individual total RNA of each group, was administrated microarray test. Compared with HD, through analyzing enriched-Gene Ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways of each group, we found peripheral CD4+T cells might had different ability for mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in LTB1, LTB2 and TB. Finally we detected that TNFSF13/APRIL and TNFSF13B/BAFF was significant up-regulation in both CD4+T cells and serum of TB by real time PCR and ELISA, respectively. Peripheral CD4+ T cells were purified by positive selection using magnetic beads (BD IMagTM anti-human CD4 Particles-DM, BD Biosciences). Total RNA was extracted from CD4+ T cells (CD4-RNA) of LTB1, LTB2 and TB patients and healthy controls by RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN).Then, RNA quality was checked and mixed with an equal quantity of each individual. The number of included-individuals in each group was 11 for HD, 11 for LTB1, 12 for LTB2 and 11 for TB.

Project description:Humans are highly genetically diverse, and most are resistant to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, lung tissue from genetically resistant humans is not readily available to identify potential mechanisms of resistance. To address this, we model M. tuberculosis infection in Diversity Outbred mice. Like humans, Diversity Outbred mice also exhibit genetically determined susceptibility to M. tuberculosis infection: Progressors who succumb within 60 days of a low dose aerosol infection due to acute necrotizing granulomas, and Controllers who maintain asymptomatic infection for at least 60 days, and then develop chronic pulmonary TB with occasional necrosis and cavitation, over months to greater than 1 year. Here, we identified specific regions of granuloma-associated lymphoid tissue (GrALT) and B-cell gene expression pathways as key features of asymptomatic lung infection using cytokine, antibody, granuloma image, and gene expression datasets. Cytokines and anti-M. tuberculosis cell wall antibodies discriminated acute vs chronic pulmonary TB but not asymptomatic lung infection. To find unique features of asymptomatic lung infection, we trained a weakly supervised, deep-learning neural network on lung histology images. The neural network accurately produced an interpretable imaging biomarker: perivascular and bronchiolar lymphocytic cuffs, a type of GrALT. We expected CD4 T cell genes would be highly expressed in asymptomatic lung infection. However, the significantly different, highly expressed genes in lungs of asymptomatically infected Diversity Outbred mice corresponded to B-cell activation, proliferation, and antigen-receptor signaling, including Fcrl1, Cd79, Pax5, Cr2, and Ms4a1. Overall, our results suggest that genetically controlled B-cell responses are important for establishing asymptomatic M. tuberculosis lung infection.
