Spatial analysis of microglial and vascular responses following recurrent intranasal Group A Streptococcus infections

ABSTRACT: Peripheral infections can result in neurocognitive changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. To explore the underlying mechanisms, here we used an intranasal inoculation model to analyze nearly 200,000 cells from the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) by multiplexed error-robust fluorescent in situ hybridization (MERFISH). Upon repeated GAS inoculations, endothelial cells (ECs) responded by downregulating blood-brain barrier and extracellular matrix genes. Microglia upregulated response to interferon and antigen presentation genes and downregulated homeostatic microglia genes. We determined that microglia with higher expression of Streptococcus-responsive genes were localized to the outer glomerular layer of the OB, possibly due to their proximity to infiltrating CD4 T cells. Expression of homeostatic genes was correspondingly high in the inner granular layer of the OB.

Effects of Th17 cytokines on microglial responses and the blood-brain barrier following recurrent intranasal Group A Streptococcus infections

Project description:Peripheral infections can result in neuropsychiatric changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. To explore the underlying mechanisms, here we used an intranasal inoculation model to analyze more than 100,000 cells from the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) and nasal lymphoid tissue by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). Upon repeated GAS inoculations, endothelial cells responded by downregulating blood-brain barrier (BBB)-specific genes, and microglia upregulated interferon-response, chemokine and antigen-presentation genes. To determine whether specific Th17 cytokines play distinct roles in producing this phenotype, we administered a neutralizing antibody against interleukin 17A (IL-17A), which decreased microglial expression of interferon-response and chemokine genes, but unexpectedly exacerbated levels of antigen presentation markers. Another Th17 cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) rescued a different subset of microglial transcripts.

Proteome analysis of extracellular vesicles released from Streptococcus pyogenes

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus: GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes streptococcal pharyngitis, skin and soft-tissue infections, and life-threatening conditions such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). A large number of virulence-related genes are encoded on GAS genomes, which are involved in host-pathogen interaction, colonization, immune invasion, and long-term survival within hosts, causing the diverse symptoms. Here, we investigated the interaction between GAS-derived extracellular vesicles and host cells in order to reveal pathogenicity mechanisms induced by GAS infection.

Effects of Th17 cytokines on transcriptome of primary microglial cultures in vitro

Project description:Peripheral infections can result in neuropsychiatric changes in many contexts, including after recurrent Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children. In a mouse model of intranasal GAS inoculation, we have previously demonstrated in vivo that mice lacking Th17 cells, or the key Th17 cytokines interleukin 17A (IL-17A) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), have altered microglial responses. As an attempt to determine whether these cytokines have direct effects on microglia, we cultured primary microglia and incubated them with either interferon gamma (IFNg), IL-17A or GM-CSF for 24 hours, then collected RNA for bulk sequencing. Microglia treated with IFNg or GM-CSF displayed striking transcriptional shifts, including upregulation of many inflammatory genes. IL-17A treatment did not have a noticeable effect on the microglial transcriptome, likely due to the in vitro absence of IL-17A receptors, which are expressed by microglia in vivo.

Comparative genomic hybridization of disease causing strains of Streptococcus dysgalactiae ssp.

Project description:Group C Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae (GCS) field strains causative of bovine mastitis and group C or group G Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (GCS/GGS) isolates from human infections were tested for the presence of virulence genes employing a microarray containing 220 virulence genes of S. pyogenes (GAS).

Transcriptomic analysis of Streptococcus pyogenescolonizing the vaginal mucosa identifies hupY, an MtsR-regulated adhesin involved in heme utilization

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep, GAS) is a serious human pathogen with the ability to colonize mucosal surfaces such as the nasopharynx and vaginal tract, often leading to infections such as pharyngitis and vulvovaginitis. We present genome-wide RNASeq data showing the transcriptomic changes GAS undergoes during vaginal colonization. These data reveal that the regulon controlled by MtsR, a master metal regulator, is activated during vaginal colonization. This regulon includes two genes highly expressed during vaginal colonization, hupYZ. Here we show that HupY binds heme in vitro, affects intracellular concentrations of iron, and is essential for proper growth of GAS using hemoglobin or serum as the sole iron source. HupY is also important for murine vaginal colonization of both GAS and the related vaginal colonizer and pathogen, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Strep, GBS). These data provide essential information on the link between metal regulation and mucosal colonization in both GAS and GBS.

Characterisation of the genetic mutation driving enhanced superantigen SpeA expression in Streptococcus pyogenes M1UK (second 5448)

Project description:A new variant of group A Streptococcus (GAS) serotype M1 (designated ‘M1UK’) has been reported in the United Kingdom, linked with seasonal scarlet fever surges, marked increase in invasive infections, and exhibiting enhanced expression of the superantigen SpeA. The progenitor GAS ‘M1global’ and M1UK clones can be differentiated by 27 SNPs and 4 indels, yet the mechanism for speA upregulation is unknown. Here we investigate the previously unappreciated expansion of M1UK in Australia, now isolated from the majority of serious infections caused by serotype M1 GAS. M1UK sub-lineages circulating in Australia also contain a novel toxin repertoire associated with epidemic scarlet fever causing GAS in Asia. A single SNP in the M1UK tmRNA gene ssrA drives enhanced SpeA superantigen expression as a result of ssrA terminator readthrough in the M1UK lineage. This represents a new paradigm of toxin expression and urges enhanced international surveillance.

Adaptation of group A Streptococcus to human amniotic fluid

Project description:Background. For more than 100 years, group A Streptococcus has been identified as a cause of severe, and in many cases fatal, infections of the female urogenital tract. Due to advances in hospital hygiene and the advent of antibiotics, this type of infection has been virtually eradicated. However, within the last three decades there has been an increase in severe intra- and post-partum infections attributed to GAS. Principal Findings. The majority of changes in the GAS transcriptome involved down regulation of multiple adhesins and virulence factors and activation of the stress response. We observed significant changes in genes involved in the arginine deiminase pathway and in the nucleotide de novo synthesis pathway. Conclusions/Significance. Our work provides new insight into how pathogenic bacteria respond to their environment to establish infection and cause disease.
