Project description:Infants are vulnerable to disseminated forms of tuberculosis and suffer disproportionately high morbidity and mortality, but the reasons for this are unknown. We hypothesized that since alveolar macrophages (AMs) are critical in the uptake and containment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in the lung, their function may be impaired in early life. We developed a method of obtaining AMs during rigid bronchoscopy of healthy infants with suspected airway abnormality. RNAseq analysis of Mtb-stimulated AMs from 4 infants and 4 adults was performed.

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are major targets of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, critical during the progression of active tuberculosis (TB). The complex immunopathology of TB generates diverse microenvironments in the lung, which shape immune responses by AMs. In the current study, we perform whole genome microarray transcriptional profiling on RNA isolated from AMs from TB patients (AMsTB) compared to AMs from control subjects (AMsCT) using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Our hypothesis was that systemic effects on the local lung microenvironment during TB affect the transcriptional response of AMsTB. We found a unique gene expression profile of 51 genes, including up-regulated CHIT1, CHI3L1, CCL5, CCL22, CCL8, CXCL9, MMP9, MMP7 and MMP12, associated with a robust pro-inflammatory response, cell recruitment and tissue damage, and genes of the cyclin family (CCND1, CCND2, and CCNA1) associated with cell proliferation. These expression profiles may account for the inflammatory condition in the lungs of TB patients. CXCL5, IL1B, CAMP, and TGFB1 were down-regulated, suggesting an altered control of Mtb infection. Also, MARCO and COLEC12, affecting phagocytosis, and CES1, associated with an increase in free cholesterol, were down-regulated. The observed changes in mRNA expression profiles may partially account for the inability of AMsTB to effectively control Mtb infection, suggesting that a balanced control of pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses is crucial for infection control.

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) mediate early lung immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Using paired human AMs and MDMs from 6 healthy volunteers, we investigated transcriptional profiles in responses to Mtb. We found 681 genes that were Mtb-dependent in AMs compared to MDMs, 107 that were induced in both cell types but in different directions, and 4538 that were Mtb-dependent in MDMs but not AMs (FDR < 0.05). We found that IFNA Response and IFNG Response were the top two gene sets selectively induced in Mtb-infected AM. Thus, a second experiment utilized MDMs treated with IFNA1, IFNA8, IFNE, or IFNL1 found that IFNA8 modulated Mtb-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines and, compared to other interferons,stimulated unique transcriptional profiles.

Project description:Tuberculosis, caused by M.tuberculosis (Mtb), remains an enduring global health challenge, especially given the limited efficacy of current therapeutic interventions. Much of existing research has focused on immune failure as a driver of tuberculosis. However, the crucial role of host macrophage biology in controlling the disease remains underexplored. While we have gained deeper insights into how alveolar macrophages (AMs) interact with Mtb, the precise AM subsets that mediate protection and potentially prevent tuberculosis progression have yet to be identified. In this study, by integrating the use of weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) modules with our multi-modal scRNA-seq protocol, we were able to evaluate the functional roles of diverse macrophage subpopulations across different infection timepoints, allowing us to delineate the dynamic landscape of controller and permissive AM populations throughout the infection timeline. Our analyses during specific post-Mtb challenge intervals revealed macrophage populations transitioning between distinct anti- and pro-inflammatory states. Notably, CD38- AMs showed a muted response to early Mtb infection. As infection progressed, we observed a phenotypic shift in AMs, with CD38+ monocyte-derived AMs (moAMs) and a subset of tissue-resident AMs (TR-AMs) emerging as significant controllers of bacterial growth. Interestingly, scATAC-seq analysis of naïve lungs demonstrated that CD38+ TR-AMs possessed a distinct chromatin signature prior to infection, indicative of epigenetic priming, and predisposed them to a pro-inflammatory response. BCG intranasal immunization increased the numbers of CD38+ macrophages, substantially enhancing their capability to restrict Mtb growth. Collectively, our findings emphasize the pivotal, dynamic roles of different macrophage subsets in TB infection and reveal rational pathways for the development of improved vaccines and immunotherapeutic strategies, with implications for the broader field of infectious diseases.

Project description:The aim of this study was to measure the impact of contained infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (CMTB) on the immune response of alveolar macrophages (AMs) to intracellular Mtb infection in vivo and on the circulatory cellularity. We characterized the transcriptional profile of murine AMs in CMTB and control mice by sorting cells from whole-lung lysates and performing RNA-sequencing (samples 1-6). We also characterized the transcriptional profile of murine Mtb-infected AMs after aerosol infection by sorting cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and performing low-input RNA-sequencing (samples 7-12). In order to characterize changes in chromatin accessibility induced by CMTB, we performed ATAC-seq on AMs isolated from control and CMTB mice by BAL (samples 13-18). We also generated whole-blood transcriptomes from mice prior to and following the establishment of CMTB (samples 19-28) in order to characterize the circulatory cellularity.

Project description:Although host genetics influences susceptibility to tuberculosis, few genes determining disease outcome have been identified. We hypothesized that macrophages from individuals with different clinical manifestations of tuberculosis infection would have distinct gene expression profiles, and that polymorphisms in these genes may also be associated with susceptibility to TB. We measured gene expression levels of >38,500 genes from ex vivo Mtb- stimulated macrophages in 12 subjects with 3 clinical phenotypes: latent, pulmonary and meningeal tuberculosis (n=4 per group). After identifying differentially expressed genes, we confirmed these results in 34 additional subjects by real-time PCR. We also used a case-control study design to examine whether polymorphisms in differentially regulated genes were associated with susceptibility to these different clinical forms of TB. We compared gene expression profiles in Mtb-stimulated and unstimulated macrophages and identified 1608 and 199 genes that were differentially expressed by >2 and >5-fold, respectively. Using cluster analysis, we identified gene expression patterns that distinguished the different clinical forms of tuberculosis. In an independent sample set of 34 individuals and a subset of highly regulated genes, 90% of the microarray results were confirmed by RT-PCR, including expression levels of CCL1, which distinguished the 3 clinical groups. Furthermore, 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CCL1 were found to be associated with TB in a case-control genetic association study with 273 TB cases and 188 controls. To our knowledge, this is the first identification of CCL1 as a gene involved in host susceptibility to TB and the first study to combine microarray and DNA polymorphism studies to identify genes associated with TB susceptibility. These results suggest that genome-wide studies can provide an unbiased method to identify critical macrophage response genes that are associated with different clinical outcomes and that variation in innate immune response genes regulate susceptibility to tuberculosis. Experiment Overall Design: Latent TB (LTB) subjects were healthy nursing staff members who had worked at a tuberculosis hospital, for more than 20 years and were positive in ESAT-6 and CFP-10- specific IFN-ï?§ ELISPOT assays. All subjects with pulmonary (PTB) and meningeal (TBM) disease had been treated and were free of symptoms at the time of venipuncture. Gene expression of monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) from subjects with three clinical forms of TB including LTB, PTB and TBM (n = 4 in each group) was examined by microarray. MDMs were stimulated either with a whole cell lysate of M. tuberculosis H37Rv or PBS for 4 hours. RNA expression was analyzed using a Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, USA) which contains probe sets for 47,000 transcripts including 38,500 well-characterized human genes.
