C. albicans in healthy people and patients with UC

ABSTRACT: Candida albicans, as an opportunistic pathogen, exhibits aberrant changes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and dominate the colonic mucosal immune response. However, the causative agent in Candida albicans is not clear. We found that Candida albicans in IBD patients had characteristic gene expression, and PMA1 was significantly increased, compared with that in healthy controls. We used a Crispr-Cas9-based fungal strain editing system to knock out the PMA1 gene and demonstrated the important role of PMA1 in Candida albicans-aggravating colitis. Proteomic analysis showed that PMA1 is carried by extracellular vesicles of Candida albicans. Then we found PMA1-containing EVs modulated the migration of cDC2 from the lamina propria to mesenteric lymph nodes, and induced TH17 cell differentiation during colitis. Our results showed that PMA1-containing EVs promote maturation, cytokine secretion and migration of cDC2, thus promoting TH17 differentiation. Moreover, we suggested that the CARD9 expression in DCs is required for recognition of PMA1 within EVs, CARD9 deletion in DCs abrogates cytokine secretion induction by PMA1. Metabolite sequencing analysis results showed that CARD9 can activates glycolysis in DCs. As an adaptor protein, CARD9 can combined with G3P aa2-146 domain through its CARD region. These findings reveal the specific pathogenic factor of Candida albicans–host interactions in colitis progression and highlight new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for diseases of inflammatory origin.

Pathogen size alters C-type lectin receptor signaling in dendritic cells to influence CD4 Th9 cell differentiation

Project description:Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucan in fungal cell walls, and activation of Dectin-1 in dendritic cells (DCs) influences immune responses against fungi. Although many studies have shown that Dectin-1 activated DCs induce different subsets of T helper cells according to different cytokine milieus, the precise mechanisms underlying such differences remain unknown. By harnessing polymorphic Candida albicans and polystyrene beads of different sizes, we found that target size influences production of cytokine that control differentiation of T helper cell subsets. Hyphal C. albicans and large beads activate DCs but cannot be phagocytosed due to their size, which prolongs the duration of Dectin-1 signaling. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of Il33 was significantly increased by larger targets, and increased IL-33 expression promoted TH9 responses. Expression of IL-33 was regulated by Dectin-1-SYK-PLCγ-CARD9-ERK pathway. Altogether, our study demonstrates that size of fungi can be a determining factor in which DCs induce context-appropriate adaptive immune responses.

Candida albicans-specific Th17 cell-mediated response contributes to alcohol-associated liver disease [scRNA & scTCR-seq]

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease is accompanied by changes in the intestinal mycobiome. How fungal dysbiosis contributes to liver disease is not clear. T-helper (Th17) cells mediate immune responses against fungi, but the interleukin 17 (IL17) pathway has been associated with pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease. Here, we demonstrate that Candida albicans (C. albicans)-specific Th17 cells are increased in the circulation and present in the liver of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. Chronic ethanol administration to mice results in migration of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells from the intestine to the liver. The antifungal agent nystatin reduced intestinal fungal overgrowth, decreased C. albicans-specific Th17 cells in the liver, and reduced features of ethanol-induced liver disease in mice. Transgenic mice that express a T-cell receptor (TCR) reactive to Candida antigens develop more severe ethanol-induced liver disease than transgene-negative littermates; disease severity was reduced by administration of an antibody against IL17 to the TCR transgenic mice. Adoptive transfer of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells exacerbated ethanol-induced liver disease in wild-type mice. IL17 receptor A (IL17ra) signaling in Kupffer cells was required for the effects of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells. Our findings indicate that ethanol increases C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells, which contribute to alcohol-associated liver disease.

Colon gene expression signatures in wild type and Card9-/-mice exposed to DSS induced colitis

Project description:It is crucial to decipher the host-microbiota interactions as they are involved in intestinal homeostasis and diseases. Caspase Recruitment Domain 9 (Card9) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene coding for an adapter protein for innate immunity toward many microorganisms. Card9 mediates colitis recovery via interleukin 22 pathway activation and Card9-/- mice have enhanced susceptibility to colitis. To reveal the mechanisms responsible of this defect in Card9-/-mice, we compared colon transcriptomics in WT and Card9-/- mice before and during DSS-induced colitis. Mice transcriptomes clusterized according to the genotype supporting a pattern clearly different in WT and Card9-/- mice. The number of up-regulated genes at day 7 was largely higher in Card9-/- compared to WT mice. Pathway analyses of the induced transcripts showed a dominance of immune-related pathway with a stronger signal in Card9-/- mice. Interestingly, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, in which CARD9 is involved, was an exception with weaker activation in Card9-/- than in WT mice. During the recovery period at day 12, pathways involved in cell proliferation and replication were significantly activated in WT compared to Card9-/- mice confirming the healing defect in Card9-/- mice. For the induction of colitis, mice were given drinking water supplemented with 2% (w/v) Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) for 7 days, then allowed to recover by drinking water alone for 5 additional days. 3 mice of each groups (WT and Card9-/-) were sacrified before DSS administration. 5 WT mice and 4 Card9-/- mice were sacrified 7 days after DSS administration and 5 mice of each group were sacrified at day 12.

Vav proteins are key regulators of Card9 signaling for innate antifungal immunity

Project description:Fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The innate immune system senses fungal pathogens through a family of Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which signal through the conserved immune adapter Card9. Although Card9 complexes are essential for antifungal defense in humans and mice, the mechanisms that couple CLR-proximal events to Card9 control are not well defined. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identified Vav proteins as key activators of the Card9 pathway. Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3 cooperate downstream of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle to selectively engage Card9 for NF-κB control and proinflammatory gene transcription but are not involved in MAPK activation. Although Vav family members show functional redundancy, Vav1/2/3 triple-deficient cells are severely impaired for NF-κB and cytokine responses upon stimulation with CLR agonists or hyphae, and Vav1/2/3-/- mice phenocopy Card9-/- animals with extreme susceptibility to fungi and rapid mortality upon Candida albicans infection. In this context, Vav3 is the single most important Vav in mice, and a polymorphism in human VAV3 is associated with susceptibility to candidemia in patients. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism for CLR-mediated Card9 regulation that controls innate immunity to fungal infections.

Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells co-cultivated with Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and LPS

Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component LPS were investigated. Therefore DCs of four independent donors were harvested after 6 and 12 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus and C. albicans stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control. Stimulation with LPS induced a differential regulation of 2793 and 2863 genes after 6 /12h, while confrontation with A. fumigatus and C. albicans resulted in 743/1076 and 1729/974 differentially regulated genes, respectively. Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) was identified as the only transcription factor that was down-regulated in DCs by both fungi but induced by stimulation with LPS. Human DCs were generated from 4 independent, healthy blood donors. moDCs were either left untreated or co-cultivated with Aspergillus fumigatus 46645 germ tubes or Candida albicans SC5314 (MOI1) and or LPS (1µg/ml) for 6h.

Cecum gene expression signatures in germ-free WT mice colonized with microbiota from WT or Card9-/- mice and infected with Citrobacter rodentium induced colitis

Project description:It is crucial to decipher the host-microbiota interactions as they are involved in intestinal homeostasis and diseases. Caspase Recruitment Domain 9 (Card9) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene coding for an adapter protein for innate immunity toward many microorganisms. Card9-/- mice are more susceptible to colitis induced by Citrobacter rodentium as a result of impaired of the IL-22 pathway. C. rodentium is a natural mouse pathogen widely used to model human infections with Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli. To explore the role of the gut microbiota in the susceptibility of Card9-/- mice to C. rodentium infection, we colonized WT germ-free (GF) mice with the microbiota of WT (WT-->GF) or Card9-/- (Card9-/- -->GF) mice and challenged them with C. rodentium. Card9-/- -->GF mice were more susceptible than WT-->GF mice to C. rodentium. To examine the mechanisms responsible for this defect, we compared the cecum transcriptomes of WT -->GF and Card9-/- -->GF mice before and during C. rodentium-induced colitis. The number of down-regulated and up-regulated genes on day 12 after C. rodentium infection was lower in Card9-/- -->GF mice than WT-->GF mice. Card9-/- -->GF mice showed a significant down-regulation of gut morphogenesis and wound healing pathways suggesting that recovery is impaired in Card9-/- -->GF mice after C. rodentium infection. Immune response and cell division pathways were up-regulated in WT-->GF mice but not in Card9-/- -->GF confirming the defect of global response to infection when only the Card9-/- microbiota was transferred. The most induced and differentially expressed genes between Card9-/- -->GF and WT-->GF mice on day 4 after C. rodentium infection were Reg3g (encoding REGIIIγ) and Reg3b (encoding REGIIIβ).

RNA-seq of Candida albicans in hyphae inducing conditons treated or not with nicotinamide

Project description:In the present study, we investigated whether the acetylation of H3K56, known as relevant for C. albicans virulence, might affect the Candida-macrophages interaction. Therefore, by the mean of the non-specific Hst3 inhibitor nicotinamide (NAM), we evaluated whether the alteration of H3K56 acetylation would affect the secretion of soluble factors by C. albicans. In particular, we tested the effect of the two different Candida growth-conditioned media (with and without NAM) on murine macrophages at the morphological and functional levels. In addition, we analyzed transcriptome modifications and genome enrichment of H3K56ac in the same experimental conditions.
