Project description:Iron plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many organisms including Mtb. It is the preferred redox cofactor in many basic cellular processes but due to its insolubility and potential toxicity under physiological conditions is a limiting nutrient in the host environment. Previously, we demonstrated that Mtb requires the iron storage protein ferritin (BfrB), for adaptation to both low and sufficient concentrations of environmental iron. We also showed that absence of bfrB compromises the ability of Mtb to overcome iron deficiency and prevent excess iron toxicity. In this study, we tested whether vaccination with ?bfrB could elicit host protective immune response against virulent Mtb infection. The results show that immunization of mice with the ?bfrB stimulates protective immunity associated with reduced immunopathology and better containment of the infection compared to vaccination with BCG. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis showed a distinct expression pattern of significantly differentially expressed genes (SDEG) between the ?bfrB and BCG-vaccinated, Mtb-infected mice lungs. Our network/pathway analysis of SDEG revealed significant inhibition of inflammatory response genes and activation of fibrosis genes in the ?bfrB, compared to BCG vaccinated, Mtb-infected mice lungs. The results provide a frame work for the study of mechanisms of protection relevant for the design of new and improved preventive strategies for TB. Female C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated subcutaneously with ?bfrB or BCG . At 8 weeks post-vaccination, mice were aerosol infected with Mtb H37Rv. At 4 weeks post infection, mice were sacrificed and lungs were removed. Lung total RNA from vaccinated and Mtb-infected mice was extracted, purified and were processed separately for microarray analysis.

Project description:Tuberculosis kills nearly 2 million people through out the world, every year. The outcome of M. tuberculosis infection is determined by the host and bacterial factors. A strong host immune response controls the growth of the bacilli effectively. However, in a host with suboptimal immune response, the bacilli grows and mounts disease. Activation of immune response following M. tuberculosis infection affects the expression of many host genes that are involved in the production of immune system molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, surface receptors and transcriptional regulators that manifest in the change of subsequent cellular events, including chemotaxis and proliferation of effector cells. The infecting bacilli counteracts the bactericidal activities of the host immune cells, primarily by modifying their gene expression. However, the specific nature of the host-pathogen interactions and the outcome of Mtb infection are not fully understood. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), produced by the immune cells, is an important cytokine in protecting the host against Mtb infection. However, excessive TNF-a production leads to severe inflammation and host cell destruction. In fact, pharmacologic inhibition of TNF-a production has been considered as a therapeutic modality in inflammatory diseases. Interestingly, inhibitors of host phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) have been shown to reduce TNF-a production and dampen inflammation without complete immune suppression of the host. In this study, we have explored the use of one of the PDE4 inhibitors, CC-3052, as an adjunct immune modulatory drug, in combination with isoniazid (INH) treatment in rabbit pulmonary tuberculosis. We hypothesize that reducing TNF-a levels during Mtb infection would reduce the environmental pressure on the bacteria, rendering them more amenable to killing by INH. Mtb infected rabbits were treated with CC-3052 or INH or both and the lung tissue were harvested after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Lung bacterial load, histologic changes and host and bacterial gene expression were determined for each timepoint and compared between various treatment groups. The results of our study provides data to support the idea that combining anti-TB drugs with an adjunctive immune modulator may enhance the efficacy of current TB therapy regimens and shorten the duration of treatment if applied appropriately to humans. The microarray experiments involves 2 comparison groups. 1) Changes in rabbit gene expression between Mtb infected and uninfected animals; 2). Changes in rabbit gene expression between CC-3052 treated and untreated animals during Mtb infection at 4,8 and 12 weeks post infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb HN878 at 3.2log10 (on day 0). At 4 weeks post infection, one group of infected rabbits were treated with a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, CC-3052, and the treatment was continued up to 12 weeks post infection. The compound was used at 25mg/kg body weight, dissolved in distilled water and administered through gavage five days a weeks. Lung tissue from Uninfected, Mtb-infected and Untreated or CC-3052 treated rabbits were isolated at Day0, 4,8 and 12 weeks post infection and used for total RNA extraction. Only the 8 and 12 week timepoints correspond to the associated publication.

Project description:Every year, tuberculosis kills nearly 1.8 million people through out the world. Though outcome of M. tuberculosis infection into active disease is determined by the host and bacterial factors, a strong host immune response controls the growth of the bacilli effectively. However, in a host with suboptimal immune response, the bacilli grows and mounts active disease. Activation of immune response following M. tuberculosis infection affects the expression of many host genes that are involved in the production of immune system molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, surface receptors and transcriptional regulators that manifest in the change of subsequent cellular events, including activation, maturation, chemotaxis and proliferation of effector cells. However, the specific nature of the host-pathogen interactions and the outcome of Mtb infection are not fully understood. In this study, we have analysed the systematic changes in the global host gene expression profile in the lungs of Mtb infected rabbits at various stages of infection. Mtb infected rabbit lung tissues were isolated at T=0,2, 4 and 16 weeks post-infection. Lung bacterial load, histologic changes and host and bacterial gene expression were determined for each timepoint and compared . Our data suggests a strong correlation between the significant changes in the global transcriptome of infected rabbits and the progression of Mtb infection into a chronic, cavitary TB disease. The microarray experiments involves comparison of: 1) Changes in rabbit gene expression between Mtb-HN878 infected and uninfected animals at 2,4 and 16 weeks post infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb HN878 at 3.2log10 (on day 0). Lung tissue from Mtb-infected rabbits were isolated at Day0, 2, 4 and 16 weeks post infection and used for total RNA extraction.

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.

Project description:In this study, we evaluated the PK/PD and explored the efficacy of a PDE4 inhibitor, CC-11050 in a murine model of Mtb infection. Infected mouse lungs with or without CC-11050 treatment was also used to interrogate genome-wide transcriptional changes. Standard aerosol infection of mice with MtbCDC1551, followed by enumeration of lung bacterial load, pathology and transcriptional changes were monitored upto 112 days post infection. Mice were infected with Mtb and treatment with CC11050 was started at 14 days post-infection. Uninfected mice were included as control. At 28 days post-infection, mice from all 3 groups (uninfected, Mtb-infected untreated or CC11050 treated) were euthanized and lung tissue was collected to isolate total RNA and used in microarray experiments.

Project description:In our rabbit model of pulmonary tuberculosis, infection with Mtb HN878, a hyper-virulent W-Beijing strain, results in progressive cavitary disease. However, infection of rabbit lungs with Mtb CDC1551, a hyper-immunogenic strain is effectively controlled overtime, establishing latent Mtb infection. Using these two Mtb strains, we tested the hypothesis that the initial host response in the lungs within hours of infection determines later outcome. The microarray experiments was performed to identify gene expression changes in the Mtb-HN878 or CDC1551- infected rabbit lungs at 3 hours post infection, compared to uninfected naïve rabbit lungs. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb HN878 or CDC1551 at ~3.5log10. At 3 hours post infection, lung tissue from Mtb-infected and uninfected rabbits were isolated and used for total RNA extraction. Total rabbit lung RNA was used for microarray analysis to determine infection induced changes in host gene expression.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a leading cause of infectious disease mortality worldwide for which no sufficiently protective vaccine exists. CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity to TB, but the antigenic targets presented on MHC-I by macrophages infected with virulent Mtb for recognition by CD8+ T cells have not been conclusively defined. Here, we use mass spectrometry to directly identify Mtb-derived peptides presented on MHC class I (MHC-I) by infected primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. We identified 16 MHC-I peptides derived from 12 Mtb proteins, and validated these identifications using internal standard parallel reaction monitoring (SureQuant). Our results show that this set of antigens is highly enriched for substrates of type VII secretion systems (T7SS) relative to the Mtb proteome. Our results identify specific Mtb proteins that may be suitable targets for subunit vaccines designed to elicit protective CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity and suggest that T7SS substrates may be a fruitful class of antigens to prioritize for further vaccine target discovery efforts. Note: donors labeled A, C, D, E, H, and I in file names here are renamed sequentially (A, B, C, D, E, and F) in the manuscript describing this study to avoid confusion.

Project description:Since whole blood transcriptome profiling has been proposed as a reliable measure of immune responses in TB patients and because the plasma levels of HO-1 have been suggested as a potential TB diagnostic marker, we wanted to see the differences in the global transcriptomic profiles and the downstream pathways in the blood monocytes isolated from Mtb-infected HO-1 Wt and KO mice.

Project description:CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but the principles that govern presentation of Mtb peptides on MHC class I (MHC-I) on the surface of infected macrophages for CD8+ T cell recognition are incompletely understood. Here, we use internal standard parallel reaction monitoring (IS-PRM, also known as SureQuant) to rigorously validate identifications of Mtb-derived MHC-I peptides obtained in data-dependent MS analyses. We further use SureQuant to quantify presentation of Mtb peptides derived from the secreted effector proteins EsxA and EsxJ across multiple experimental conditions. We show that presentation of both EsxA- and EsxJ-derived peptides requires the activity of the mycobacterial ESX-1 type VII secretion system, possibly indicating that ESX-1-mediated phagosome membrane damage allows Mtb proteins to access MHC-I antigen processing pathways. We show that this requirement is independent of type I interferon signaling that occurs downstream of phagosome damage. Treatment with inhibitors of conventional proteolytic pathways involved in MHC-I antigen processing inhibits presentation of self peptides as expected, but does not inhibit presentation of Mtb peptides, implying an alternative or redundant mechanism of processing.

Project description:Using cell-based approaches and experimental mouse models for pulmonary TB we unveiled MDSCs as new myeloid populations directly interacting with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). MDSCs readily phagocytosed Mtb, released proinflammatory (IL-6, IL-1M-NM-1) and immunomodulatory (IL-10) cytokines while retaining their suppressive capacity. MDSCs were identified at the site of infection in disease-resistant and -susceptible mice during pulmonary TB. Excessive MDSC accumulation in lungs correlated with elevated surface expression of IL-4RM-NM-1 and heightened TB lethality. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations on Agilent mouse whole genome catalog 44K arrays. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied.
