Project description:Molecular profiling of effect of TNFα neutralization in contrast to anti-IL-17A or anti-IL-17F treatment for 28 days in lungs of M. tuberculosis infected C57BL/6 mice. Animals were treated once per week (starting day-1) with anti-mouse IL-17A or IL-17F antibodies (20 mg/kg i.p.), anti-mouse TNFα antibody (10 mg/kg), respective isotype control antibodies. Moreover, infected and non-infected TNFα-deficient mice were also analysed. Gene expression data revealed major changes of inflammatory and immune gene expression signatures 4 weeks post-infection (including host-pathogen interactions, macrophage recruitment, activation and polarization, host-anti-mycobacterial activities, immunomodulatory responses and extracellular matrix metallopeptidases) after TNFα blockade, while IL-17A or IL-17F neutralization elicited only mild changes of few genes without impaired host resistance four weeks after M. tuberculosis infection.

Project description:Older age is one of the strongest risk factors for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Here, we sought to determine whether age-associated cellular senescence contributes to the severity of COVID-19 by studying the well-established golden hamster model of SARS-CoV-2-driven lung disease. We found that aged hamsters (22 months of age) accumulate senescent cells in the lungs and that the senolytic drug ABT-263, a B cell lymphoma-2 family inhibitor, depletes these cells at baseline and during a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Relative to young hamsters (2 months of age), aged hamsters had a greater viral load during the acute phase of infection and displayed higher levels of sequelae during the post-acute phase. Interestingly, early treatment with ABT-263 was associated with a significantly lower pulmonary viral load, an effect associated with lower expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, and an amelioration of COVID-19-like lung disease in aged (but not young) animals. ABT-263 treatment of aged animals was also associated with lower pulmonary and systemic levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors. Furthermore, early removal of senescent cells reduced the longer-term pulmonary inflammation. These data demonstrate the causative role of age-associated pre-existing senescent cells on the pathologic severity of experimental COVID-19. As several senolytics have recently moved into early-stage clinical trials, our present findings have clear clinical relevance.

Project description:Male sex belongs to one of the risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcome. However, underlying mechanisms that could affect sex dependent disease outcome are yet unknown. Here, we identified the CYP19A1 gene encoding for the testosterone-to-estradiol metabolizing enzyme CYP19A1 (alias aromatase) as a host factor that contributes to worsened disease outcome in male hamsters. SARS-CoV-2 infection increases CYP19A1 transcription most prominently in the lungs of male animals, which correlates with reduced circulating testosterone and increased circulating estradiol levels. Dysregulated sex hormone levels in male golden hamsters are associated with reduced lung function compared to females. Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infected hamsters with letrozole, a clinically approved CYP19A1 inhibitor, supported recovery of dysregulated sex hormone levels and was associated with improved lung function in male but not female animals compared to placebo controls. Whole-lung transcriptome analysis in letrozole treated versus placebo treated control groups revealed key pathways associated with improved lung health in males. To seek translation of these findings into humans, we analyzed autopsy-derived lung samples of COVID-19 cases from three independent study sites. We found that CYP19A1 transcription and protein expression is strongly elevated in the lungs of men who died with COVID-19 as compared to females or non-COVID-19 controls. Our findings highlight the role of the lung as a yet unrecognized but critical organ involved in metabolic responses against respiratory virus infections. Furthermore, inhibition of CYP19A1 by the clinically approved drug letrozole may pose a new therapeutic strategy to reduce poor long-term COVID-19 outcome.

Project description:Male and female golden hamsters (n = 5 per group) were either control (PBS) treated or infected with SARS-CoV-2 (105 pfu), following treatment with vehicle or the CYP19A1 (aromatase) inhibitor letrozole for 8 consecutive days. At 21 days post infection, animals were sacrificed; subsequently, the lungs were harvested and subjected to Illumina TruSeq stranded mRNA sequencing on NextSeq500 PE 2 × 75 cycles to determine their individual transcriptomic profiles.

Project description:The higher susceptibility of the germ-free (GF) mice to bacterial infection has been proposed to be due to a lack of host immune defense. We hypothesized that this lower efficiency to mount a proficient defense might correlate with an aberrant miRNA expression, leading to the host failure to adapt its gene transcriptomic response to infection. To explore this hypothesis, we undertook a thorough transcriptional analysis of the host intestine in uninfected conventional (CV0) and germ-free (GF0) mice, by monitoring both the miRNA and mRNA expression levels. Crossing of the intestinal epithelial barrier is the first step of L. monocytogenes oral infection. Total eukaryotic RNAs were extracted from the ileum of uninfected conventional (CV0) and germ-free (GF0) mice and from L. monocytogenes infected conventional and germ-free mice 24h p.i (CV24 and GF24, respectively) and 72h p.i (CV72 and GF72, respectively). From these samples, transcriptome profiles were generated using Illumina sequencing for miRNA expression or microarrays for mRNA expression.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) were implicated in tissue remodelling in hamster models of heart inflammatory diseases. Here we asked whether MCs promote inflammatory neovascularization in hamster cheek pouch (HCP) parasitized by Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan that causes Chagas disease. Intravital microscopy (IVM) performed 3 days after inoculation of Dm28c trypomastigote (GFP-TCTs) showed a subtle infiltration of rhodamine-labeled leukocytes. Interestingly, the baseline levels of FITC-dextran leakage (3 dpi) were consistently increased, raising the possibility that intracellular amastigotes may coopt the low-grade inflammation to facilitate the delivery of plasma-borne nutrients during the period in which host cells must metabolically sustain parasite division. Although proangiogenic indexes were only mildly stimulated at 3 dpi, we found a positive correlation with transcription of proinflammatory cytokines (pro-IL- and IFN-). Having established 3 dpi as a timepoint in which vascular remodeling was already measurable, we next compared the proteomic profiles of parasitized HCP with those of internal controls (PBS injected 3 days earlier in the contralateral pouch) we found 87 proteins upregulated, and 17 were downregulated in the parasitized HCP. Minor changes in protein expression were observed in response to PBS injection (2 upregulated and 12 downregulated proteins. Congruent with the increased density of MCs observed in parasitized HCP (histological analysis), the MC protease 1 (chymase) stood out as the most abundant sequence. Interestingly, toluidine blue staining appointed clusters of MCs degranulating at 3 dpi. Noteworthy, two plasma proteins (complement C3 and serum albumin) were also identified as major proteins, further suggesting that leaky capillaries irrigated the HCP at early stages (3 dpi) of infection . Detection of cytokines or classical proangiogenic factors was beyond the sensitivity of our methods.
