Selection of cross-reactive T cells by commensal and food-derived yeasts drives pathogenic cytotoxic Th1 responses in Crohn´s disease

ABSTRACT: Aberrant CD4+ T cell reactivity against intestinal microbes is considered to drive mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases. The disease-relevant microbial species and the corresponding microbe-specific pathogenic T cell phenotypes remain unknown. Here, we identify common gut commensal and food-derived yeasts, as direct activators of aberrant CD4+ T cell reactions in patients with Crohn´s disease (CD). Yeast-responsive CD4+ T cells in CD display a cytotoxic Th1 phenotype and selective clonal expansion of cells highly cross-reactive to several commensal, as well as food-derived, fungal species. This indicates cross-reactive T cell selection by repeated encounter with conserved fungal antigens in the context of chronic intestinal disease. Our results highlight a role of fungi in driving immunopathology in patients with CD and suggest that both, gut-resident fungal commensals, and daily dietary intake of yeasts, may contribute to chronic activation of pathogenic CD4+ T cell responses involved in disease pathophysiology.

High throughput RNA sequencing of C. albicans colonizing the murine GI tract reveals a role for a secreted effecter in commensalism

Project description:Candida albicans is a human gut commensal and an opportunistic pathogen. The ability to transition from yeasts to invasive hyphae is a central virulence attribute, but it is unclear how these two cell types function during commensal growth. Using FISH to visualize C. albicans in a murine gut colonization model, we observed the co-occurrence of yeasts and hyphae throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Forward genetic analysis revealed that major transcriptional activators of yeast-to-hypha morphogenesis have unexpected activity as potent inhibitors of commensalism. In vivo FISH, transcriptomic, and genetic analyses indicate that the morphogenesis program inhibits commensal fitness, not through control of cell shape as expected from in vitro studies, but by activating expression of a hypha-specific pro-inflammatory secreted protease and a hyphal cell surface adhesin. These results reveal a tradeoff between fungal programs supporting commensalism and virulence within the commensal niche in which selection against hypha-specific markers limits the disease-causing potential of this ubiquitous commensal-pathogen.

Expression data from antigen-specific CD4+T cells from peripheral blood of patietns with CD and healthy controls.

Project description:Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract. We performed a whole-genome transcriptional analysis using sorted commensal antigen-specific CD4+T cells from peripheral blood of CD patients and from healthy controls. Peripheral blood sorted FlaX, Fla2 and YidX-specific CD4+T cells from Crohn's disease patients and from non-inflammatory controls were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Inclusion criteria for CD patients were: age between 18 and 70, diagnosis of CD established at least 4 months before inclusion and exclusion of concomitant infection.

Diet and multi-omics characterization in the Study of Urban and Rural Crohn Disease Evolution (SOURCE) cohort

Project description:The Study Of Urban and Rural Crohn disease Evolution (SOURCE, n=380) characterized exposures, diet, and host and microbial factors in rural and urban Chinese controls and newly diagnosed Crohn Disease (CD), and in treatment-naïve Israeli CD and controls. We considered diet-omics domains simultaneously to detect complex interactions in the gut to prioritize potential beneficial and pathogenic factors.

Functions of the Mediator subunit Med31 in Candida albicans support a role in shaping species-specific gene expression.

Project description:Mediator is an essential, evolutionarily conserved co-regulator of RNA polymerase II. Studies in model yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe showed remarkably conserved roles for Mediator despite high species divergence, and thus whether Mediator contributed to establishment of species-specific gene expression programs within related fungal species remains an open question. Here we show that in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, the Mediator middle domain subunit Med31 has a conserved role with non-pathogenic model yeasts in regulation of Ace2-dependent cytokinesis genes and stress responses, but also additional roles in the transcription of genes associated with virulence traits: genes related to filamentous growth and gene families expanded in pathogenic vs non-pathogenic yeasts, such as the ALS adhesins and the FGR6 family of filamentous growth regulators. Consistently, Med31 is required for two key virulence attributes of C. albicans: filamentous growth and biofilm formation. Unlike our data in C. albicans, no role for Med31 in adhesin expression has been reported in model yeasts. To show biological relevance for the control over adhesin gene expression, we demonstrate that ALS1 is a relevant Med31 target for development of biofilms. Collectively, our data supports a role for Med31 in shaping species-specific gene expression in related fungal species.

Bacterial nucleoside catabolism controls quorum sensing and commensal-to-pathogen transition in the Drosophila gut

Project description:Although gut microbiomes are generally symbiotic or commensal, some of microbiomes become pathogenic under certain circumstances, which is one of key processes of pathogenesis. However, the factors involved in these complex gut-microbe interactions are largely unknown. Here we show that bacterial nucleoside catabolism using gut luminal uridine is required to boost inter-bacterial communications and gut pathogenesis in Drosophila. We found that uridine-derived uracil is required for DUOX-dependent ROS generation on the host side, whereas uridine-derived ribose induces quorum sensing and virulence gene expression on the bacterial side. Importantly, genetic ablation of bacterial nucleoside catabolism is sufficient to block the commensal-to-pathogen transition in vivo. Furthermore, we found that major commensal bacteria lack functional nucleoside catabolism, which is required to achieve gut-microbe symbiosis. The discovery of a novel role of bacterial nucleoside catabolism will greatly help to better understand the molecular mechanism of the commensal-to-pathogen transition in different contexts of host-microbe interactions.

Early SIV infection and effects of pathogenic and commensal enteric bacteria on expression in ileum tissue

Project description:We used the ileal loop model to assess the effects of enteric bacteria organisms on host gene expression in intestinal tissue independent of and following early SIV infection. SIV infection in the gut causes rapid and severe immune dysfunction and damage to the intestinal structure, this may alter the intimate interaction with lumenal organisms. This study was performed to determine whether early SIV infection, prior to the depletion of CD4+ T cells, can alter interaction of the host with pathogenic Salmonella serovar Typhimurium (ST) or commensal Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), and to further understand the earliest changes to the intestinal mucosa following SIV infection. We used microarray analysis to detail the global program of gene expression underlying changes in the ileum following early SIV infection, and if these changes in any way alter the host interaction/ response to pathogenic and commensal enteric bacteria.
