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: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.

Project description:We examined the microRNA profiles of THP-1 macrophages upon the MTB infection of (1) Beijing/W and non-Beijing/W clinical strains, and (2) susceptible and multidrug-resistant (MDR-) MTB strains. THP-1 cells were induced differentiation into a macrophage phenotype. Then cells were infected with three MDR (INHR, RIFR) Beijing/W, three sensitive (INHS, RIFS) Beijing/W, three MDR(INHR, RIFR) non-Beijing/W, and three sensitive (INHS, RIFS) non-Beijing/W strains. Total RNA were extracted and transfered into cDNA for miRNA profile analysis. Non-infected cells were used as control.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has developed specialized mechanisms to parasitize its host cell, the macrophage. These mechanisms allow it to overcome killing by oxidative burst and persist in the wake of an inflammatory response. Mtb infection in the majority of those exposed is controlled in an asymptomatic form referred to as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). HIV is a well-known catalyst of reactivation of LTBI to active TB infection (ATB). Through the use of nonhuman primates (NHPs) co-infected with Mtb and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (Mtb/SIV), we are able to simulate human progression of TB/AIDS comorbidity. The advantage of NHP models is that they recapitulate the breadth of human TB outcomes, including immune control of infection, and loss of this control due to SIV co-infection. Using macaques infected with Mtb or Mtb/SIV and with different clinical outcomes we attempted to identify signatures between those that progress to active infection after SIV challenge (reactivators) and those that control the infection (non-reactivators).

Project description:Deeper understanding of the crosstalk between host cells and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) provides crucial guidelines for the rational design of novel intervention strategies against tuberculosis (TB). Mycobacteria possess a unique complex cell wall with arabinogalactan (AG) as critical component. AG has been identified as a virulence factor of Mtb which is recognized by host galectin-9. Here we demonstrate that galectin-9 directly inhibited mycobacterial growth through AG-binding property of carbohydrate-recognition domain 2. Furthermore, IgG antibodies with AG specificity were detected in serum of TB patients. Based on the interaction between galectin-9 and AG, we developed monoclonal antibody (mAb) screening assay and identified AG-specific mAbs which profoundly inhibit Mtb growth. Mechanistically, proteomic profiling and morphological characterizations revealed that AG-specific mAbs regulate AG biosynthesis, thereby inducing cell wall swelling. Thus, direct AG-binding by galectin-9 or antibodies contributes to protection against TB. Our findings pave the way for the rational design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies for TB control.

Project description:Global gene expressions of Mtb-infected mouse lungs were compared between with and without PDE4 inhibitor treatment. A lot of host genes are differentially expressed 21d and 28d post-Mtb infection. PDE4 inhibitor, however, downregulate 10% of genes among those and genes differentially regulated by PDE4 inhibitor are mainly involved immune response. Total RNA was isolated from Mtb-infected mouse lungs with or without CC-3052 (25 mg/kg/day) using Trizol reagent and gene profile was analyed using Affymetrix mouse ST 1.0

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.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most successful pathogens in human history and remains the second leading cause of death from an infectious agent worldwide. The major reason of Mtb success principally relies on its ability to perfectly adapt to the host, by establishing latent infection and evading from the control driven by immune system. Accordingly, both innate and adaptive immune responses are required to control TB progression and pathogenesis and in particular dendritic cells (DC), as professional antigen presenting cells, are one of the major cellular effectors of the anti-mycobacterial response. In this context, we performed a microarray analysis to characterize the de-regulation of cellular miRNAs during Mtb infection of human DC. Human DC were prepared from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of anonymous healthy blood donors and infected with Mtb for 3, 8 and 24 hours. This data set contains the global miRNA expression profiling in uninfected and Mtb-infected DC cultures to identify altered signature of miRNAs potentially implicated in Mtb-mediated immune evasion strategies.

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.
