Type I IFN signaling promotes local inflammation in pulmonary tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: The critical role of type I IFN (IFN I ) in viral disease is thoroughly documented while their function in bacterial infection remains ambiguous. General interest in biological functions of IFN I in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection was raised by the identification of a distinct IFN I gene expression signature in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Here we demonstrate that TB-susceptible mice lacking the receptor for IFN I (IFNAR1) were protected from death upon aerogenic infection with Mtb. Increased survival was accompanied by reduced bacterial burden and ameliorated lung pathology as well as diminished production of proinflammatory IL-1?, among other cytokines. IFNAR1 signaling did not affect T cell responses, but markedly altered migration of inflammatory monocytes and neutrophils to the lung during pulmonary TB. This process was orchestrated by presence of IFNAR1 in both immune and tissue-resident radioresistant cells. IFNAR1-driven TB susceptibility was initiated by CXCL5/CXCL1-driven accumulation of neutrophils into alveoli and subsequently a distinct compartmentalization of Mtb in lung phagocytes. We conclude that IFN I alters early innate events at the site of Mtb invasion leading to unleashed inflammation. Hence, our data furnish a mechanistic explanation for the detrimental role of IFN I in pulmonary TB. dual-color color-swap

Host directed activity of Pyrazinamide in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Project description:Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the first line antibiotics used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). we have used human monocyte and a mouse model of pulmonary TB to investigate whether treatment with PZA, in addition to its known anti-mycobacterial properties, modulate the host immune response during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Mice were infected with Mtb and treatment with PZA was started at 28 days post-infection. At 42 days and 63 days post-infection, group of animals were euthanized and lung tissue was collected to isolate total RNA and used in microarray experiments. Mtb-infected, untreated animals served as controls.

Type I IFNs exacerbate tuberculosis pathogenesis by inhibiting migration of antigen specific T cells

Project description:Tuberculosis, a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), often becomes exacerbated upon co-infection with other pathogens, yet the underlying immunological mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Here, mice were initially infected with the hypervirulent Mtb strain K, and later with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to investigate the mechanism of severe pulmonary pathology. Virus infection significantly reduced Mtb-specific IFN-g, increased bacterial loads, and aggravated lung inflammation in the lung of Mtb-infected mice, which did not occur in pre-existence of Th1 response by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination prior to the co-infection. Blockade of type I IFN receptor signaling reinvigorated Mtb-specific IFN-γ response and ameliorated pathogenesis by upregulating pulmonary CXCL9/10 production. Our results demonstrate that virus-induced type I IFN triggers severe immunopathology by deteriorating migration of Mtb-specific IFN-γ-producing T cells, suggesting the balance between type I and type II IFNs determines either control of Mtb or exacerbation of pathology in the lung upon viral infection

Ultra-low dose aerosol infection provides an improved murine model of tuberculosis

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.

GM-CSF controls Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by limiting type I IFN-driven neutrophil extracellular trap formation [Blood]

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s top infectious killer. Understanding how immune mediators determine the outcome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection could facilitate the design of better therapies against this devastating disease. GM-CSF mediates protective immunity against TB but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. To determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective role of GM-CSF during M. tuberculosis infection we performed RNA-sequencing analyses of whole blood and lung samples obtained from C57Bl/6 mice infected with HN878 and treated with anti-GM-CSF monoclonal antibody or isotype control. Uninfected mice were also treated and used as uninfected controls. Three weeks post-infection, whole blood and lungs were harvested from each individual mouse and processed for RNA-sequencing. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that during M. tuberculosis infection GM-CSF regulates the expression of genes associated with neutrophil recruitment and activation and type I IFN-inducible genes, which have been previously associated with TB pathogenesis. Further mechanistical studies showed that disease exacerbation driven by GM-CSF blockade during M. tuberculosis infection was type I IFN and neutrophil-dependent and that over-activation of neutrophils by type I IFN induced NET formation at the site of infection. NETs were also found in necrotic lung lesions from patients with pulmonary TB and type I IFN-driven NET formation correlated with increased disease susceptibility in different mouse models of TB. Our findings reveal an important immune network that may play a central role in determining TB outcome.

Spontaneous Latency in a Rabbit Model of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is an exquisitely adapted human pathogen capable of surviving for decades in the lungs of immune competent individuals in absence of disease. The World Health Organization estimates that 2 billion people have latent TB infection (LTBI), defined by positive immunologic response to Mtb antigens with no clinical signs of disease. A better understanding of host and pathogen determinants of LTBI and subsequent reactivation would benefit TB control efforts. Animal models of LTBI have been hampered mainly by an inability to achieve complete bacillary clearance. We have characterized a rabbit model of LTBI in which, similar to most humans, complete clearance of pulmonary Mtb infection and pathology occurs spontaneously. The evidence that Mtb-CDC1551-infected rabbits achieve LTBI, rather than sterilization, is based on the ability of the bacilli to be reactivated following immune suppression. The microarray experiments involves comparison of: 1) Changes in rabbit gene expression between Mtb-CDC1551 infected and uninfected animals at 2,4,8 and 12 weeks post infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb CDC1551 at 3.5log10 (on day 0). Lung tissue from Mtb-infected rabbits were isolated from uninfected (control) and at 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks post infection and used for total RNA extraction. Total rabbit lung RNA was used for microarray analysis to determine infection induced changes in host gene expression.

Rifampicin drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection suppresses in vivo immune responses through a Type I Interferon response.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), latently infects one quarter of the world’s population. The rise of multidrug resistant (MDR) Mtb infections worldwide presents a significant obstacle to curb TB globally. While human studies report dysregulated immune responses in MDR TB patients, there is a lack of clear understanding of the host-pathogen interactions following MDR Mtb infection. We recently showed that Mtb carrying a rifampicin drug resistance (RDR)-conferring single nucleotide polymorphism in the RNA polymerase-B gene (Mtb rpoB-H445Y) can modulate host macrophage metabolic reprogramming by production of Type I IFNs. Here, using a mouse model, we have characterized the host immune response in vivo following RDR Mtb infection. We show that despite establishment of Mtb infection in the lung and dissemination to the peripheral organs, lung myeloid and lymphoid immune responses to RDR Mtb is suppressed through a Type I IFN-dependent mechanism. These results coincide with a muted responses in the bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and progenitors following RDR Mtb infection. These results suggest that host directed therapeutics and vaccines for drug resistant TB may need to be target specific host immune pathways for protection.

A protective role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection requires the activities of multiple leukocyte subsets, yet the roles of the different innate effector cells during tuberculosis (TB) are incompletely understood. Here we show a role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mtb infection. In humans, eosinophils are found in resected human TB lung lesions and autopsy granulomas. Eosinophils are also found in granulomas in zebrafish, mice, and non-human primates, where they are functionally activated and degranulate. Transcriptional profiling of lung tissue after Mtb infection of mice, that selectively lack eosinophils, revealed changes in neuronal associated pathways. Importantly, employing several independent models of eosinophil deficiency in mice, we demonstrate that eosinophils are required for optimal pulmonary bacterial control and host survival after Mtb infection. Collectively, our findings establish an unexpected role for eosinophils, granulocytes typically associated with type II inflammation, in host resistance against Mtb, a major human bacterial pathogen.

Novel Role for Macrophage Galactose-type Lectin-1 to Regulate Innate Immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is characterized by inflammatory pathology and poorly understood mechanisms of innate immunity. Pattern recognition receptors (PRR), expressed on the surface of macrophages, determine the balance of inflammatory and antimicrobial functions that influence disease outcome. Carbohydrate moieties displayed by mycobacteria can serve as PRR ligands for some members of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family; interactions that mediate a variety of incompletely understood immune outcomes. This work identifies a novel role for the CLR Macrophage Galactose-type Lectin-1 (MGL-1) in a mouse model of experimental tuberculosis. Murine macrophages upregulated MGL-1 following in vitro exposure to Mtb, while MGL+ cells accumulated at sites of mycobacteria-driven inflammation in the lung. Pulmonary macrophages from MGL-1-deficient mice displayed increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1b, IL-6 and IFN-g) that was associated with greater lipid accumulation, following Mtb infection. Surprisingly for a CLR, we also observed MGL-1-dependent anti-mycobacterial activity as evidenced by greater Mtb proliferation in BMDM, and the lung, of MGL-1 deficient mice. These results identify MGL-1 signaling as an important mechanism that regulates innate immunity against Mtb and indicate potential for the MGL pathway as a novel therapeutic target for anti-TB immunity.
