A Non-Canonical Type 2 Immune Response Coordinates Tuberculous Granuloma Formation and Epithelialization

ABSTRACT: Using the zebrafish-M. marinum model, we identify the basis of granuloma macrophage transformation. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of zebrafish granulomas as well as analysis of M. tuberculosis-infected macaques reveal that, even in the presence of robust type 1 immune responses, countervailing type 2 signals associate with macrophage epithelialization. We find that type 2 immune signaling, mediated via stat6, is absolutely required for epithelialization and granuloma formation.

Macrophage Epithelial Reprogramming Underlies Mycobacterial Granuloma Formation and Promotes Infection

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in humans triggers formation of granulomas, tightly organized immune cell aggregates that are the central structure of tuberculosis. Infected and uninfected macrophages interdigitate, assuming an altered, flattened appearance. Although pathologists have described these changes for over a century, the molecular and cellular programs underlying this transition are unclear. We find that mycobacterial granuloma formation is accompanied by macrophage induction of canonical epithelial molecules and structures. Using the zebrafish-Mycobacterium marinum model, we identify fundamental macrophage reprogramming events that parallel E-cadherin-dependent mesenchymal-epithelial transitions. Macrophage-specific disruption of E-cadherin function results in disordered granuloma formation, enhanced immune cell access, decreased bacterial burden and increased host survival, suggesting that the granuloma can also serve a bacteria-protective role. In humans, we find that granuloma macrophages are similarly transformed. Long considered largely through the prism of immune signaling pathways, granuloma macrophages are reprogrammed by epithelial modules that alter the trajectory of mycobacterial infection.

Lymphoid function of the tuberculous granuloma

Project description:Induced lymphoid structures associated with pulmonary granulomas have been observed during TB in both humans and mice and could orchestrate host defense. In order to determine whether granulomas perform lymphoid functions, mice lacking secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). As in wild type mice (WT), granulomas developed, MTB was controlled, and antigen-specific T cell responses including T central memory (TCM) cells were generated in the complete absence of SLOs. Moreover, T cell activation correlated with granuloma formation in these mice and TCM cells accumulated in lungs and participated in protection against secondary MTB infection. Lung granulomas may therefore represent tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) capable of priming robust T cell responses and mediating host defense during chronic MTB at the site of infection.

A non-canonical type 2 immune response coordinates tuberculous granuloma formation and epithelialization.

Project description:The central pathogen-immune interface in tuberculosis is the granuloma, a complex host immune structure that dictates infection trajectory and physiology. Granuloma macrophages undergo a dramatic transition in which entire epithelial modules are induced and define granuloma architecture. In tuberculosis, relatively little is known about the host signals that trigger this transition. Using the zebrafish-Mycobacterium marinum model, we identify the basis of granuloma macrophage transformation. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of zebrafish granulomas and analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macaques reveal that, even in the presence of robust type 1 immune responses, countervailing type 2 signals associate with macrophage epithelialization. We find that type 2 immune signaling, mediated via stat6, is absolutely required for epithelialization and granuloma formation. In mixed chimeras, stat6 acts cell autonomously within macrophages, where it is required for epithelioid transformation and incorporation into necrotic granulomas. These findings establish the signaling pathway that produces the hallmark structure of mycobacterial infection.

A microarray to characterize the immune response of adult zebrafish to a low dose Mycobacterium marinum infection

Project description:Zebrafish Mycobacterium marinum infection has been widely used to model human tuberculosis because these two diseases share common features, e.g. latency, granuloma formation and reactivation. Here we infected adult zebrafish with a low dose of M. marinum, which usually leads to a chronic infection. At 14 days post infection we performed microarray analysis to characterize the immune response against this infection. Analysis was done using total RNA extracted from the abdominal organs of zebrafish. Our aim was to find novel genes underlying host defense mechanisms against M. marinum infection in zebrafish, and thus to produce novel information that is valuable when developing new treatments for human tuberculosis.

Zebrafish response to Mycobacterium marinum infection (Affymetrix series)

Project description:Mycobacteria infect macrophages that aggregate with additional macrophages and lymphocytes to form granulomas. We have used a functional genomics approach to identify immune response genes expressed during granuloma formation in Mycobacterium marinum-infected transparent zebrafish larvae where individual infection steps can be viewed in real time. We assessed RNA expression profiles from zebrafish larvae that were either infected with Mycobacterium marinum, mock-infected, or uninfected. Zebrafish infections were performed at 1 day post-fertilization (dpf), and samples were derived from pools of 6dpf zebrafish larvae. Keywords: host response to infection

The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the fish pathogen Mycobacterium marinum trigger the same core set of late immune response genes in zebrafish larvae

Project description:Zebrafish is a natural host of various Mycobacterium species and a surrogate model organism for tuberculosis research. Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) is evolutionarily most closely related to M. tuberculosis and shares the majority of virulence genes. Although zebrafish is not a natural host of the human pathogen, we have previously demonstrated successful robotic infection of zebrafish embryos with M. tuberculosis and performed drug treatment of the infected larvae. In the present study we examined for how long M. tuberculosis can be propagated in zebrafish larvae and tested a time series of infected larvae to study the transcriptional response via Illumina RNAseq. Granuloma-like structures carrying fluorescently labeled M. tuberculosis could be detected up to 9 days post infection. The continued presence of viable M. tuberculosis in the zebrafish larvae was further confirmed using the molecular bacterial load assay. The infected larvae showed a clear and specific transcriptional immune response with a high similarity to the response of zebrafish larvae infected with the surrogate species M. marinum. We conclude that M. tuberculosis can be propagated in zebrafish larvae for at least one week after infection and provide further evidence that M. marinum is a good surrogate model for M. tuberculosis.

Specificity of the innate immune responses to different classes of non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Project description:Mycobacterium avium is the most common nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species causing infectious disease. Here, we characterized a M. avium infection model in zebrafish larvae, and compared it to M. marinum infection, a model of tuberculosis. Using RNAseq analysis, we found a distinct transcriptome response in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction for M. avium and M. marinum infection. In addition, we found substantial differences in gene expression in metabolic pathways, phagosome formation, matrix remodeling, and apoptosis in response to these mycobacterial infections.

Transcriptomic approaches in the zebrafish model for tuberculosis – insights into host- and pathogen-specific determinants of the innate immune response

Project description:Both embryonic and adult zebrafish Mycobacterium marinum infection studies have contributed to our knowledge of the development and function of tuberculous granulomas, which are typical for mycobacterial pathogenesis. In this review we discuss how transcriptome profiling studies have helped to characterize this infection process and we include new RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data that reveals three main phases in the host response to M. marinum during the early stages of granuloma development in zebrafish embryos and larvae. The late-phase response shares common components with the strong and acute host transcriptome response that has previously been reported for S. typhimurium infection in zebrafish embryos. In contrast, the early/mid-phase response to M. marinum infection, characterized by suppressed pro-inflammatory signaling, is strikingly different from the acute response to S. typhimurium infection. Furthermore, M. marinum infection shows a collective and strongly fluctuating regulation of lipoproteins, while S. typhimurium infection has pronounced effects on amino acid metabolism and glycolysis.
