CRISPR interference reveals that all-trans-retinoic acid promotes macrophage control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by limiting bacterial access to cholesterol and propionyl-CoA

ABSTRACT: Macrophages are a protective replicative niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) but can kill the infecting bacterium when appropriately activated. To identify mechanisms of clearance, we compared bacterial restriction by human macrophages after treatment with 26 compounds, including some currently in clinical trials for tuberculosis. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), an active metabolite of vitamin A, drove the greatest increase in Mtb control. Bacterial clearance was transcriptionally and functionally associated with changes in macrophage cholesterol trafficking and lipid metabolism. To determine how these macrophage changes affected bacterial control, we performed the first Mtb CRISPR interference screen in an infection model, identifying Mtb genes specifically required to survive in ATRA-activated macrophages. These data showed that ATRA treatment starves Mtb of cholesterol and the downstream metabolite propionyl-CoA. Supplementation with sources of propionyl-CoA, including cholesterol, abrogated the restrictive effect of ATRA. This work demonstrates that targeting the coupled metabolism of Mtb and the macrophage improves control of infection, and that it is possible to genetically map the mode of bacterial death using CRISPR interference.

The global transcriptional profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during human macrophages infection

Project description:During lung infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resides in macrophages and subverts the bactericidal mechanisms of these professional phagocytes. In this work we have analyzed by DNA microarray technique the global transcription profile of Mtb infecting primary human macrophages in order to identify putative bacterial pathogenic factors that can be relevant for the intracellular survival of Mtb. Keywords: time course We compared the global gene expression of the H37Rv strain of Mtb after 4 hours and 24 hours of infection of human macrophage-like THP-1 cells with the gene expression profile of the strain growing exponentially in broth cultures.

The sigma factor E of Mycobacterium tuberculosis modulates the inflammatory response of human THP1 cells

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is well adapted to survive in macrophages and usually subverts the bactericidal mechanisms of these professional phagocytes. The adaptation of Mtb to the intracellular life depends on its ability to regulate the expression of its genes. Among the most important bacterial transcription activators are the sigma factors that bind to the RNA polymerase and give it promotor specificity. Sigma factor E (SigE) controls the expression of genes that are essential for Mtb virulence. Analysis of the macrophage transcriptional response indicated that proteins encoded by the sigE regulon are involved in the modulation of the macrophage inflammatory response. We compared the global gene expression of THP1 macrophages infected with H37Rv and SigE to the gene expression profile of uninfected macrophages.

IL-36/LXR axis modulates cholesterol metabolism and immune defense to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a life-threatening pathogen in humans. Bacterial infection of macrophages usually triggers strong innate immune mechanisms, including IL-1 cytokine secretion. The newer member of the IL-1 family, IL-36, was recently shown to be involved in cellular defense against Mtb. To unveil the underlying mechanism of IL-36 induced antibacterial activity, we analyzed its role in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism, together with the involvement of Liver X Receptor (LXR) in this process. Here we report that, in Mtb-infected macrophages, IL-36 signaling modulates cholesterol biosynthesis and efflux via LXR. Moreover, IL-36 induces the expression of cholesterol-converting enzymes and the accumulation of LXR ligands, such as oxysterols. Ultimately, both IL-36 and LXR signaling play a role in the regulation of antimicrobial peptides expression and in Mtb growth restriction. These data provide novel evidence for the importance of IL‑36 and cholesterol metabolism mediated by LXR in cellular host defense against Mtb.

Impaired fatty acid import and metabolism in macrophages restricts intracellular growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection of macrophages reprograms cellular lipid metabolism to promote the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets. While it is clearly known that intracellular Mtb utilize host derived fatty acids and cholesterol to fuel a majority of its biosynthetic demands, the role of macrophage lipid metabolism on the bacteria’s ability to access the intracellular lipid pool remains controversial. We have utilized a CRISPR genetic knockdown approach to, systematically and comprehensively, characterize the role of macrophage fatty acid metabolism on the intracellular growth of Mtb. Our analyzes demonstrate that knockdown of lipid import, sequestration and metabolism genes collectively impair the intracellular growth of Mtb in macrophages. We further demonstrate that modulating fatty acids homeostasis in macrophages impair Mtb replication by enhancing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, restricting the bacteria access to nutrients and increasing oxidative stress in a manner which is surprisingly divergent. We also demonstrate that impaired macrophage lipid droplet biogenesis is restrictive to intracellular Mtb growth. However, increased induction of lipid droplet formation by downstream blockade of fatty acid oxidation does not rescue the impaired Mtb growth phenotypes. Our work provides a characterization of macrophage fatty acid homeostasis and how its modulation impacts Mtb intracellular growth.

Identification of latent tuberculosis infection-related microRNAs in human U937 macrophages expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Hsp16.3

Project description:Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) relies on a homeostasis of macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The small heat shock protein, Mtb Hsp16.3 (also known as latency-associated antigen), plays an important role in Mtb persistence within macrophages. However, the mechanism of LTBI remains elusive. The aim of this study was to delineate LTBI-related miRNA expression in U937 macrophages expressing Mtb Hsp16.3 protein. This study intends to explore the potential function of miRNAs in the interaction of macrophages with Mtb Hsp16.3 and provide insights for investigating the role of macrophage homeostasis in LTBI.

Global transcriptional profile of hESC-derived macrophage (iMAC), human monocyte-derived macrophage and THP-1 macrophage

Project description:We report here a modified protocol for generating homogenous populations of macrophage-like cells from human embryonic stem cells. The induced macrophages, referred to as iMAC, presented similar transcriptomic profiles and characteristic immunological features of classical macrophages and were permissive to viral and bacterial infection, in particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Their production was amenable to scale up and the resulting cells suitable for high-throughput screening.

Metabolism of host-derived glycolytic products by Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires five metabolic pathways

Project description:Bacterial nutrition is a key aspect of host-pathogen interaction and bacteria must adapt to use nutrients available in the host. Lipid droplets-derived fatty acids are considered the major intracellular carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an intracellular pathogen causing Tuberculosis disease. However, many other (and more soluble) substrates are available in vivo and may represent alternative carbon sources. Lactate and pyruvate are rather abundant in human cells and fluids and represent two possible candidates. In this work, we employed a “multi-omics” approach (Transposon Directed Insertion Site Sequencing (TraDIS), RNA-seq transcriptomics, proteomics and stable isotopic labelling coupled with mass spectrometry-based metabolomics) and classic microbial physiology to study Mtb metabolism of lactate and pyruvate. We discovered that Mtb is well adapted to use lactate and pyruvate as sole carbon sources and that it requires gluconeogenesis, Krebs cycle, GABA shunt, glyoxylate shunt and methylcitrate cycle for their metabolism. These latter are traditionally associated with fatty acid metabolism and unexpectedly, we found that methylcitrate cycle operates in reverse. This latter discovery changes the role of this pathway making it a direct route for the biosynthesis of propionyl-CoA, the essential precursor for the biosynthesis of odd-chain fatty acids, abundantly present in Mtb cell envelope.
