Comprehensive profiling of the early lung immune responses in the mouse model of tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: The lung host immune responses following M.tuberculosis infection in the mouse model of tuberculosis were assayed by studying the gene expression profiles at day 0, day 12, 15 and 21 post infection Mice were infected with M.tuberculosis via the aerosol route and the host gene induction during early immune response studied

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the intracellular bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and kills more than 1.5 million people every year worldwide. Immunity to TB is associated with the accumulation of IFNγ-producing T helper cell type 1 (Th1) in the lungs, activation of M.tuberculosis-infected macrophages and control of bacterial growth. However, very little is known regarding the early immune responses that mediate accumulation of activated Th1 cells in the M.tuberculosis-infected lungs. To def ...[more]

Project description:Background. The Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is dominant in countries in East Asia. Genomic polymorphisms are a source of diversity within the M.tuberculosis genome and may account for the variation of virulence among M.tuberculosis isolates. To date there are no studies that have examined the genomic composition of M.tuberculosis isolates from the high TB-burden country, Myanmar. Methodology/Principle findings. Twenty-two M.tuberculosis isolates from Myanmar were screened on whole-genome arrays containing genes from M.tuberculosis H37Rv, M.tuberculosis CDC1551 and M.bovis AF22197. Screening identified 198 deletions or extra regions in the clinical isolates compared to H37Rv. Twenty-two regions differentiated between Beijing and non-Beijing isolates and were verified by PCR on an additional 40 isolates. Six regions (Rv0071-0074 [RD105], Rv1572-1576c [RD149], Rv1585c-1587c[RD149], MT1798-Rv1755c [RD152], Rv1761c [RD152] and Rv0279c) were deleted in Beijing isolates, of which 4 (Rv1572-1576c, Rv1585c-1587c, MT1798-Rv1755c and Rv1761c) were variably deleted among ST42 isolates, indicating a closer relationship between the Beijing and ST42 lineages. The TbD1 region, Mb1582-Mb1583 was deleted in Beijing and ST42 isolates. One M.bovis gene of unknown function, Mb3184c was present in all isolates, except 11 of 13 ST42 isolates. The CDC1551 gene, MT1360 coding for a putative adenylate cyclase, was present in all Beijing and ST42 isolates (except 1). The pks15/1 gene, coding for a putative virulence factor, was intact in all Beijing and non-Beijing isolates, except in ST42 and ST53 isolates. Conclusion. This study describes previously unreported deletions/extra regions in Beijing and non-Beijing M.tuberculosis isolates. The modern and highly frequent ST42 lineage showed a closer relationship to the hypervirulent Beijing lineage than to the ancient non-Beijing lineages. The pks15/1 gene was disrupted only in modern non-Beijing isolates. This is the first report of an in-depth analysis on the genomic diversity of M.tuberculosis isolates from Myanmar.

Project description:Virus infection may shut off host protein synthesis in order to achieve the replicative advantage over host cells. It is well known that human pathogenic viruses, particularly the picornaviruses, can block host protein synthesis by cleavage or inhibition of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs). In this study we found a novel mechanism that microRNA (miRNA) is involved in viral pathogenesis. Infection of enteroviruses can disturb the expression of host miRNAs, in which miR-141 is up-regulated and inhibits host protein synthesis by post-transcriptional repression of the target gene eIF4E, a key element for cap-dependent translation of host proteins. Knockdown of miR-141 by a specific siRNA, antagomiR-141, could restore host eIF4E expression, delay the occurrence of cytopathic effect (CPE), and impair virus propagation. We demonstrated that EV71 infection could increase early growth response 1 (EGR1) expression which induced miR-141 causing the eIF4E suppression; while silencing of EGR1 attenuated virus production. Our results suggest that enterovirus infection causes the EGR1-mediated upregulation of host miR-141, further lead to the translational switch from cap-dependent to cap-independent protein synthesis in the host cells, an environmental beneficial for viral propagation. This novel mechanism may highlight a new approach for future development of antiviral therapy. Enteroviruses in the Picornaviridae family are important human pathogens which can cause fatal diseases, including cardiopulmonary failure, aseptic meningitis, paralysis, myocarditis, and encephalomyelitis. Virus infection may induce shutoff of host protein synthesis, particularly in picornavirus, whose protein translation is cap-independent. It is known that poliovirus 2A protease cleaves eIF4G, a scaffold component of mammalian cell translational complex, leading to the shut down of host protein synthesis. Nevertheless, the cleavage of eIF4G may not be sufficient for the complete shutoff of host protein synthesis. Previous studies showed that cleavage of polyA-binding protein (PABP) by viral protease 3C and dephosphorylation of the translational repressor, eIF4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), also contribute to this process. The cap-binding protein, eIF4E, is the most crucial factor in determining whether cap-dependent or -independent translation takes place. The mechanism by which viral infection modulates host cell protein synthesis through interfering eIF4E expression is not yet known. miRNAs are a newly discovered class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that may act via endogenous RNA interference. Our understanding of its role in the dynamic interplay between virus and host components is quite limited. Since both virus infection and miRNAs could hinder cellular protein synthesis, whether miRNAs are involved during virus infection in shutting off host protein synthesis is still unknown. To address this issue, we analyze the altered gene and microRNA expression after EV71 infection. ***This submission represents the mRNA expression component of the study only***
