Project description:Limbic encephalitis (LE) due to anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibodies is an autoimmune disease characterized by distinct clinical features unique to LGI1 LE, such as faciobrachial dystonic seizures. However, it is unclear whether an additional disease-related LGI1 antigen-specific T cell response is involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. To address this question, we studied the effect of recombinant LGI1 on the proliferation and effector-specific cytokine production (IFN-γ, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-17) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with LGI1 LE and healthy controls. We observed that recombinant LGI1 stimulated the proliferation of PBMCs from patients with LGI1 LE, but not from healthy controls. Cytokine measurement of cell culture supernatants from PBMCs incubated with recombinant LGI1 revealed a highly significant increase in IL-10 release in PBMCs from patients with LGI1 LE in comparison with healthy controls. These results suggest that LGI1-mediated stimulation of PBMCs from patients with LGI1 LE leads to the establishment of an IL-10-dominated immunosuppressive cytokine milieu, which may inhibit Th1 differentiation and support B cell proliferation, IgG production, and IgG subclass switching.

Project description:The immune mechanisms that control resistance vs. susceptibility to mycobacterial infection in humans were investigated by studying leprosy skin lesions, the site where the battle between the host and the pathogen is joined. Using an integrative genomics approach, we found an inverse correlation between of IFN-beta and IFN-gamma gene expression programs at the site of disease. The Type II IFN, IFN-gamma and its downstream vitamin D-dependent antimicrobial genes were preferentially expressed in the lesions from patients with the self-healing tuberculoid form of the disease and mediated antimicrobial activity against the pathogen, Mycobacterium leprae in vitro. In contrast, the Type I IFN, IFN-beta and its downstream genes, including IL-27 and IL-10, were induced in monocytes by M. leprae in vitro, and were preferentially expressed in the lesions of disseminated and progressive lepromatous form. The IFN-gamma induced macrophage antimicrobial response was inhibited by IFN-beta/IL-10, by a mechanism involving blocking the generation of bioactive 1,25-dihyroxy vitamin D as well as inhibiting induction of antimicrobial peptides cathelicidin and DEFB4. The ability of IFN-B to inhibit the IFN-gamma induced vitamin D pathway including antimicrobial activity was reversed by neutralization of IL-10, suggesting a possible target for therapeutic intervention. Finally, a common IFN-beta and IL-10 gene signature was identified in both the skin lesions of leprosy patients and in the peripheral blood of active tuberculosis patients. Together these data suggest that the ability of IFN-beta to downregulate protective IFN-gamma responses provides one general mechanism by which some bacterial pathogens of humans evade protective host responses and contribute to pathogenesis.

Project description:Tuberculosis remains a major cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide, yet only 10% of people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis develop disease. Defining both necessary and sufficient immunologic determinants of protection remains a great scientific challenge. Analysis of peripheral blood gene expression profiles of active tuberculosis patients has identified correlates of risk for disease or pathogenesis. We sought to identify human potential candidate markers of host defense by studying gene expression profiles of macrophages, cells which, upon infection by M. tuberculosis, can mount an antimicrobial response. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis revealed an association between the cytokine, IL-32, and the vitamin D antimicrobial pathway in a network of IFN-γ and IL-15 induced ‘defense response’ genes. IL-32 was sufficient for induction of the vitamin D-dependent antimicrobial peptides, cathelicidin and DEFB4, and generation of antimicrobial activity in vitro, dependent on the presence of adequate 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The IL-15 induced ‘defense response’ macrophage gene network was integrated with ranked pairwise comparisons of gene expression from five different clinical data sets of latent vs. active tuberculosis or healthy controls, and a co-expression network derived from gene expression in patients with tuberculosis undergoing chemotherapy. Together, these analyses identified eight common genes, including IL-32, as molecular markers of latent tuberculosis and the IL-15 induced gene network. Inferring that maintaining M. tuberculosis in a latent state and preventing transition to active disease represents host resistance, we believe these results identify IL-32 as one functional marker and potential correlate of protection against active tuberculosis.

Project description:Class-switching of B cells to IgA can be induced via both T-cell-dependent and T-cell-independent mechanisms. IgA is most predominantly produced mucosally and is important for combating infections and allergies. In contrast to mice, humans have two forms of IgA; IgA1 and IgA2 with diverse tissue distribution. In early life, IgA levels might be sub-optimal especially during the fall season when bacterial and viral infections are more common. Therefore, we investigated using human B cells whether T-cell-independent factors -promoting cell survival, class switching and immunoglobulin secretion- BAFF, APRIL, IL-10 and retinoic acid can boost IgA production in the context of viral or bacterial infection. To this end total and naive peripheral blood B cells were stimulated with these factors for 6 days in the presence or absence of TLR7/8 agonist R848 (mimicking viral infection) or TLR9 agonist CpG-ODN (mimicking bacterial infection). We show that BAFF significantly augments IgA2 production in TLR7/8 stimulated mature, but not naïve B cells. In addition, BAFF augments IL-10 production and viability in TLR7/8 and TLR9 stimulated mature B cells. These data warrant further investigation of its role in immune regulation both in the periphery and mucosal tissues in early life or during disease.

Project description:BackgroundNo methods exist to rapidly and accurately quantify the immune insult created by burn injuries. The development of a rapid, noninvasive clinical biomarker assay that evaluates a burn patient's underlying immune dysfunction and predicts clinical outcomes could transform burn care. We aimed to determine a set of peripheral biomarkers that correlates with clinical outcomes of burn patients.MethodsThis prospective observational study enrolled two patient cohorts within a single burn center into an institutionally approved institutional review board study. Blood draws were performed <48 hours after injury. Initial unbiased immune gene expression analysis compared 23 burn patients and 6 healthy controls using multiplex immune gene expression analysis of RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We then performed confirmatory outcomes analysis in 109 burn patients and 19 healthy controls using a targeted rapid quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Findings were validated and modeled associations with clinical outcomes using a regression model.ResultsA total of 149 genes with a significant difference in expression from burn patients compared with controls were identified. Pathway analysis identified pathways related to interleukin (IL)-10 and inducible nitric oxide synthase signaling to have significant z scores. quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of IL-10, IL-12, arginase 1 (ARG1), and inducible nitric oxide synthase demonstrated that burn injury was associated with increased expression of ARG1 and IL-10, and decreased expression of nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and IL-12. Burn severity, acute lung injury, development of infection, failure of skin autograft, and mortality significantly correlated with expression of one or more of these genes. Ratios of IL-10/IL-12, ARG1/NOS2, and (ARG1-IL-10)/(NOS2-IL-12) transcript levels further improved the correlation with outcomes. Using a multivariate regression model, adjusting for patient confounders demonstrated that (ARG1-IL-10)/(NOS2-IL-12) significantly correlated with burn severity and development of acute lung injury.ConclusionWe present a means to predict patient outcomes early after burn injury using peripheral blood, allowing early identification of underlying immune dysfunction.Level of evidencePrognostic/Epidemiological; Level II.

Project description:Sepsis may induce immunosuppression and result in death. S100A12 can bind to the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 following induction of various inflammatory responses. It is unclear whether S100A12 significantly influences the immune system, which may be associated with sepsis-related mortality. We measured plasma S100A12 levels and cytokine responses (mean ± standard error mean) of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after S100A12 inhibition in healthy controls and patients with sepsis on days one and seven. Day one plasma soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and S100A12 levels in patients with sepsis were significantly higher than those in controls (2481.3 ± 295.0 vs. 1273.0 ± 108.2 pg/mL, p < 0.001; 530.3 ± 18.2 vs. 310.1 ± 28.1 pg/mL, p < 0.001, respectively). Day seven plasma S100A12 levels in non-survivors were significantly higher than those in survivors (593.1 ± 12.7 vs. 499.3 ± 23.8 pg/mL, p = 0.002, respectively). In survivors, plasma sRAGE levels were significantly decreased after 6 days (2297.3 ± 320.3 vs. 1530.1 ± 219.1 pg/mL, p = 0.009, respectively), but not in non-survivors. Inhibiting S100A12 increased the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-10 in stimulated PBMCs for both controls and patients. Therefore, S100A12 plays an important role in sepsis pathogenesis. S100A12 may competitively bind to TLR4 and RAGE, resulting in decreased IL-10 and TNF-α production.

Project description:We report here the characterization of a novel Leishmania infantum protein termed papLe22 (22-kDa potentially aggravating protein of Leishmania). A positive clone from a cDNA library was identified by serum of a visceral leishmaniasis (VL) patient. Full-length cDNA obtained using rapid amplification of cDNA ends-PCR codes for a 22-kDa protein. In L. infantum promastigotes an endogenous nuclear protein of 14-kDa electrophoretic mobility was found by using an antiserum prepared against the fusion protein glutathione S-transferase-papLe22. Its expression was also shown in L. infantum amastigotes and in Leishmania major and Leishmania guyanensis promastigotes. VL patients' sera showed anti-papLe22 immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG reactivities, indicating that a primary response against the leishmanial protein papLe22 accompanied acute VL manifestations. Specific IgG levels were correlated with patients' clinical status. The presence of IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 subclasses suggested a mixed Th1- and Th2-type response; there was no correlation between subclass reactivity and the disease course. The recombinant papLe22 specifically activated interleukin-10 production by VL patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected at diagnosis and after treatment-induced cure, indicating its contribution to VL pathogenesis and concomitant immunosuppression and its potential role in the reactivation of latent parasites. As a dominant immunogen, papLe22 might be used as a vaccine component, provided that the vaccination protocol directs the response toward the Th1 pattern.
