Endogenous retrovirus control of homeostatic and inflammatory responses to the microbiota [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The microbiota plays a fundamental role in regulating host immunity. However, the processes that initiate homeostatic immunity to the microbiota remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the skin microbiota promotes the discrete expression of defined endogenous retrovirus (ERVs). Keratinocyte-intrinsic responses to ERVs depended on cGAS/STING signaling and promoted the induction commensal specific T cells including CD8+, CD4+ and MAIT cells. Inhibition of reverse transcriptase significantly impacted these responses resulting in impaired homeostatic immunity to the microbiota and associated tissue repair function. Conversely, diets that caused an increase in dietary lipids primed the skin for aberrant ERV expression in response to commensal colonization, leading to tissue inflammation. Together, our results support the idea that the host may have coopted its endogenous virome as a means to communicate with the exogenous microbial microbiota, resulting in a multikingdom dialogue that controls both tissue homeostasis and inflammation.

Endogenous retrovirus control of homeostatic and inflammatory responses to the microbiota [scRNA-seq]

Project description:How the homeostatic dialogue between the host and its microbiota is initiated remains largely unknown. Here, we show that immune response to the skin microbiota is dependent on activity of endogenous retroviruses. Notably, response to the microbiota promotes a discrete transcriptional induction of retroelements. As such, keratinocyte intrinsic sensing of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) derived DNA via cGAS/STING promotes the induction of commensal specific T cells including CD8+, CD4+ and MAIT cells. Consequently, inhibition of reverse transcriptase activity impairs both homeostatic immunity to the microbiota and associated tissue repair function. On the other hand, altered diet and in particular increase in dietary lipids primed the skin for aberrant ERV expression in the context of microbiota exposure leading to tissue inflammation. Together our results support the idea that the host may have coopted its endogenous virome as a means to communicate with exogenous microbiota resulting in a multikingdom dialogue that controls both tissue homeostasis and inflammation.

Immunity to commensal skin fungi promotes psoriasiform skin inflammation

Project description:Under steady state conditions, the immune system is poised to sense and respond to the microbiota. As such, immunity to the microbiota, including T cell responses, is expected to precede any inflammatory trigger. How this pool of preformed microbiota-specific T cells contributes to tissue pathologies remains unclear. Here, using an experimental model of psoriasis, we show that recall responses to commensal skin fungi can significantly aggravate tissue inflammation. Enhanced pathology caused by fungi pre-exposure depends on Th17 responses and neutrophil extracellular traps and recapitulates features of the transcriptional landscape of human lesional psoriatic skin. Together, our results propose that recall responses directed to skin fungi can directly promote skin inflammation and that exploration of tissue inflammation should be assessed in the context of recall responses to the microbiota.

Keratinocyte-intrinisic MHCII expression controls Microbiota-specific Th1 cell responses

Project description:The crosstalk between the microbiota and the immune system plays a fundamental role in the control of host physiology. However, the tissue-specific factors controlling this dialogue remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that T cell responses to commensal colonization are associated with the development of organized clusters within the skin epithelium. These organized lymphocyte clusters are surrounded by specialized keratinocytes expressing a discrete program associated with antigen presentation and anti-microbial defense. Notably, IL-22-mediated keratinocyte-intrinsic MHC class II expression was required for the selective accumulation of commensal-induced IFN- but not IL-17A-producing CD4+ T cells within the skin. Together, this work uncovers an unexpected role for keratinocyte-mediated antigen presentation in the licensing of homeostatic type 1 responses to the microbiota, findings that have important implications in our understanding of the unique rules governing the dialogue between the host and its microbiota.

The neuroimmune CGRP-RAMP1 axis tunes cutaneous adaptive immunity to the microbiota

Project description:The somatosensory nervous system surveils external stimuli at barrier tissues, regulating innate immune cells under infection and inflammation. The roles of sensory neurons in controlling the adaptive immune system, and more specifically immunity to the microbiota, however, remain elusive. Here, we identified a novel mechanism for direct neuroimmune communication between commensal-specific T lymphocytes and somatosensory neurons mediated by the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the skin. Intravital imaging revealed that commensal-specific T cells are in close proximity to cutaneous nerve fibers in vivo. Correspondingly, we observed upregulation of the receptor for the neuropeptide CGRP, RAMP1, in CD8+ T lymphocytes induced by skin commensal colonization. Neuroimmune CGRP-RAMP1 signaling axis functions in commensal-specific T cells to constrain Type 17 responses and moderate the activation status of microbiota-reactive lymphocytes at homeostasis. As such, modulation of neuroimmune CGRP-RAMP1 signaling in commensal-specific T cells shapes the overall activation status of the skin epithelium, thereby impacting the outcome of responses to insults such as wounding. The ability of somatosensory neurons to control adaptive immunity to the microbiota via the CGRP-RAMP1 axis underscores the various layers of regulation and multisystem coordination required for optimal microbiota-reactive T cell functions under steady state and pathology.

The genetic background is shaping cecal enlargement in the absence of intestinal microbiota

Project description:Germ-free (GF) animal models represent a unique tool to study the function and impact of gut microbiota on the host under homeostatic or pathologic conditions. GF animals can be selectively colonized with specific microorganisms of interest or even microbial communities. Therefore, these models are frequently employed to decipher complex interactions between the host and its endogenous commensal microbiota, as well as to study interrelations between microbial species within the specific biotope such as intestine.

Expression data from the commensal bacteria Escherchia coli strain HB101 interacting with Caenorhabditis elegans and/or Giardia duodenalis

Project description:Homeostatic interactions between the host and its resident microbiota is important for normal physiological functions and if altered, it could lead to dysbiosis, a change in the structure and function of the microbiota, and as a result to various pathophysiologies. Altered structure in bacterial community is associated with various pathophysiologies, but we are just beginning to understand how these structural changes translate into functional changes. Environmental factors including pathogenic infections can lead to altered interactions between the host and its resident microbiota. We used microarray analysis and a C. elegans model system to gain insights on the mechanisms of functional changes in host-commensal bacteria interaction in the presence or absence of G. duodenalis and identified expression pattern in commensal bacteria that are characteristic of homeostatic and dysbiotic interactions. E. coli HB101 exposed to C. elegans in the presence or absence of G. duodenalis conditioned S-basal complete media for 24 hours were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We collected expression data for E. coli HB101, E. coli HB101 exposed to C. elegans, E. coli HB101 exposed to Giardia conditioned media, and E. coli HB101 exposed to both C. elegans and Giardia conditioned media.

The balance between protective and pathogenic immune responses to pneumonia in the neonatal lung enforced by the gut microbiota

Project description:Although modern clinical practices such as cesarean sections and perinatal antibiotics have improved infant survival, treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics alters intestinal microbiota and causes dysbiosis. Infants exposed to perinatal antibiotics have an increased likelihood of life-threatening infections, including pneumonia. Here, we investigated how the gut microbiota sculpt pulmonary immune responses, promoting recovery and resolution of infection in newborn rhesus macaques. Early-life antibiotic exposure interrupted the maturation of intestinal commensal bacteria and disrupted the developmental trajectory of the pulmonary immune system, as assessed by single-cell proteomic and transcriptomic analyses. Early-life antibiotic exposure rendered newborn macaques more susceptible to bacterial pneumonia, concurrent with increases in neutrophil senescence and hyperinflammation, broad inflammatory cytokine signaling, and macrophage dysfunction. This pathogenic reprogramming of pulmonary immunity was further reflected by a hyperinflammatory signature in all pulmonary immune cell subsets coupled with a global loss of tissue-protective, homeostatic pathways in the lungs of dysbiotic newborns. Fecal microbiota transfer was associated with partial correction of the broad immune maladaptations and protection against severe pneumonia. These data demonstrate the importance of intestinal microbiota in programming pulmonary immunity and support the idea that gut microbiota promote the balance between pathways driving tissue repair and inflammatory responses associated with clinical recovery from infection in infants. Our results highlight a potential role for microbial transfer for immune support in these at-risk infants.
