Persistent p55TNFR expression impairs T cell responses during chronic tuberculosis and promotes reactivation.

ABSTRACT: The pleiotropic activities of TNF are mediated by two structurally related but functionally distinct type I transmembrane receptors, p55TNFR and p75TNFR expressed in most cell types, that can be cleaved and act as TNF scavengers. Here, we investigated the effect of persistent p55TNFR cell surface expression during aerosol inhalation challenge with virulent M. tuberculosis H37Rv. We demonstrated that persistency of p55TNFR in macrophage cultures increased the synthesis of soluble TNF, p75TNFR and NO, however, had no effects on bacteria killing ability. Furthermore, it did not facilitate enhanced protection to primary acute M. tuberculosis infection in p55^?NS mice. Without exacerbated lung inflammation, we found a compensatory increase in p75TNFR shedding and decrease in bioactive TNF in BAL of p55^?NS mice after M. tuberculosis challenge. Defective expressions of CD44 and INF? attributed to an impaired T cell response during persistent p55TNFR expression that caused marginal transient susceptibility during chronic infection. Moreover, persistent p55TNFR expression induced early reactivation during latent tuberculosis infection. These data indicate a prominent role of p55TNFR shedding in Th1 mediated protection against chronic and latent tuberculosis infection.

Project description:Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, still remains a major global health problem. The main obstacle in eradicating this disease is the ability of this pathogen to remain dormant in macrophages, and then reactivate later under immuno-compromised conditions. The physiology of hypoxic nonreplicating M. tuberculosis is well-studied using many in vitro dormancy models. However, the physiological changes that take place during the shift from dormancy to aerobic growth (reactivation) have rarely been subjected to a detailed investigation. In this study, we developed an in vitro reactivation system by re-aerating the virulent laboratory strain of M. tuberculosis that was made dormant employing Wayne's dormancy model, and compared the proteome profiles of dormant and reactivated bacteria using label-free one-dimensional LC/MS/MS analysis. The proteome of dormant bacteria was analyzed at nonreplicating persistent stage 1 (NRP1) and stage 2 (NRP2), whereas that of reactivated bacteria was analyzed at 6 and 24 h post re-aeration. Proteome of normoxially grown bacteria served as the reference. In total, 1871 proteins comprising 47% of the M. tuberculosis proteome were identified, and many of them were observed to be expressed differentially or uniquely during dormancy and reactivation. The number of proteins detected at different stages of dormancy (764 at NRP1, 691 at NRP2) and reactivation (768 at R6 and 983 at R24) was very low compared with that of the control (1663). The number of unique proteins identified during normoxia, NRP1, NRP2, R6, and R24 were 597, 66, 56, 73, and 94, respectively. We analyzed various biological functions during these conditions. Fluctuation in the relative quantities of proteins involved in energy metabolism during dormancy and reactivation was the most significant observation we made in this study. Proteins that are up-regulated or uniquely expressed during reactivation from dormancy offer to be attractive targets for therapeutic intervention to prevent reactivation of latent tuberculosis.
