Transcriptional profiling of M. intracellulare under acidic and oxidative stress conditions

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), including Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare (MI), accounts for a significant portion of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease affecting immunocompromised and lung structural disease patients. Adapting pathogens to a host-induced hostile environment is critical to establishing infection and persistence within the host. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of stress response for MAC still need to be elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptional profile of MI under acidic and oxidative stress conditions using RNA-seq. At the transcriptome level, 80 genes were shown [FC] ≥2.0 and p <0.05 under oxidative stress with 10 mM hydrogen peroxide. In detail, 77 genes were upregulated, while 3 genes were downregulated. Also, 878 genes were shown [FC] ≥2.0 and p <0.05 under acidic stress with pH 4.5. Among these genes, 339 were upregulated, while 539 were downregulated. Functional analysis revealed the activation of several pathways, including nitrogen and sulfur metabolism, under acidic stress conditions. On the contrary, oxidative stress conditions activated DNA replication and repair pathways. Our data demonstrate the activation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism in MAC infection, which could be crucial for persistence and survival under stress conditions encountered within the host during infection. In conclusion, this study suggests the importance of stress responses in MAC pathogenesis and identifies potential therapeutic target pathways.

Comparative transcriptomic profiling between two radiologic phenotypes in lungs from patients with pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex

Project description:The incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)-induced pulmonary disease (PD) has been increasing in South Korea, posing considerable challenges in treatment. Treatment guidelines recommend initiating therapy after serial computed tomography (CT) monitoring. While drug treatment often improves outcomes in patients with the nodular bronchiectatic (NB) form, those with the fibrocavitary (FC) form may continue to experience persistence despite treatment. Our objective was to classify type-specific and common genes based on radiological phenotypes (NB and FC) using RNA sequencing to analyze the cellular landscape of 11 NB sections, 10 FC sections, and 21 unaffected sections from 21 MAC-PD cases. Predictive in silico analysis indicated a significant role for genes related to B cell proliferation and regulation in both forms. Additionally, NB patients exhibited predominantly regulated antimicrobial immune responses, whereas FC patients showed enrichment in genes related to extracellular matrix structure. These target genes identified through genetic analysis could potentially serve as predictive biomarkers for type-specific biological processes and cellular pathways, necessitating further validation studies.

Gene signature profiles in lung tisses of wild type mice or Nrf2 deficient mice infected with my nontuberculous mycobacteria

Project description:Background. Nuclear erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) regulates the expression of antioxidant and detoxification genes and are thought to be important in protection against intracellular pathogens. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Nrf2 in the host defense against Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in mice. Methods. Wild-type mice and Nrf2-deficient mice were infected with MAC via intranasal inoculation with 1x107 CFU of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis. At 2 months after infection, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissues were collected, then, comprehensive transcriptome analysis in the lungs was performed by RNA-seq. Results. Nrf2-deficient mice were highly susceptible to MAC, compared with wild-type mice. There was no significant changes between genotypes in the level of oxidative stress. In addition, the expression of genes related to Th1 immunity and the proportion of Th1 cells were not changed between genotypes. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of Nramp1 was much lower in the infected lungs of Nrf2-deficient mice than those of Wild-type mice. The expression of Nramp1 was also much lower in the infected alveolar macrophages of Nrf2-deficient mice than those of Wild-type mice. The result of electron microscopy showed that many infected alveolar macrophages from Nrf2-deficient mice were found to contain a large number of intracellular MAC bacteria compare to alveolar macrophages from wild-type mice, due to inhibition of phagolysosome fusion. Conclusions. This study identified that the Nramp1 regulated by Nrf2 is essential in defining the outcome of MAC disease. Nrf2 is a critical determinant for host resistance to MAC infection as a regulator for the expression of Nramp1.

Adaptive and innate immune responses in MAC lung disease

Project description:Immunological mechanisms of susceptibility to NTM disease are poorly understood. We evaluated innate and antigen-specific adaptive immune responses to Mycobacterium avium complex in individuals with MAC lung disease. We investigated the gene expression changes induced in PBMCs by polyclonal stimulation (anti-CD3, anti-CD28), Mav and Mtb lysates and a peptide pool (MTB300) in individuals with MAC lung disease (MACDZ), and healthy controls (IGRA+ and IGRA-).

Divergent downstream biosynthetic pathways are supported by L-cysteine synthases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis's autarkic lifestyle within the host involves rewiring its transcriptional networks to combat host-induced stresses. With the help of RNA-seq, we identified Mtb pathways that are upregulated in response to oxidative, nitrosative, acidic, starvation, and surfactant stresses. Genes belonging to sulfur metabolism were found to be significantly upregulated during oxidative stress. Using an integrated approach of microbial genetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, animal experiments, chemical inhibition, and rescue studies, we investigated the biological role and therapeutic potency of non-canonical L-cysteine synthases, CysM and CysK2. CysM and CysK2 independently facilitate Mtb survival by alleviating host-induced redox stress, suggesting they are not fully redundant within the host. While transcriptome signatures of RvΔcysM and RvΔcysK2 appear similar under normal growth conditions, when subjected to oxidative stress, we identify unique transcriptional signatures. We followed pool size and labelling (34S) of key downstream metabolites viz. mycothione and ergothionine to monitor L-cysteine biosynthesis and utilization, which revealed a significant role of distinct L-cysteine biosynthetic routes on redox stress and homeostasis. With the help of genetic mutants and chemical inhibitors, we show that CysM and CysK2 serve as unique, attractive targets for adjunct therapy to combat mycobacterial infection.

Gene signature profiles in lung tisses of wild type mice or PD-1 or PD-L1 deficient mice infected with Mycobacterium avium

Project description:Rationale: T cell activation is a key antimicrobial component against mycobacterial disease. Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway could affect the antimicrobial immune responses by suppressing T cell activity. Several recent studies demonstrated that blocking of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway exacerbated Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. However, the influence of blocking this pathway in pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) infection was not fully understood. Objective: We aimed to determine the influence of genetic depletion of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway on the disease activity of MAC infection. Methods: Wild-type, PD-1-deficient mice and PD-L1-deficient mice were intranasally infected with Mycobacterium avium bacteria. Measurements and Main Results: The depletion of PD-1 or PD-L1 did not affect mortality and bacterial burden in mice infected with MAC. However, remarkable infiltration of CD8 T lymphocytes was observed in the lungs of PD-1 and PD-L1 deficient mice compared to wild-type mice. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis showed that levels of gene expressions related to Th1 immunity did not differ according to the genotypes. However, genes related to the activity of CD8 T cells and related chemokine activity were up-regulated in the infected lungs of PD-1 and PD-L1 deficient mice. Conclusions: Depletion of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway did not affect the activation of Th1 immunity in response to MAC infection, which may explain why MAC infection was controlled in these mice. In addition, CD8-positive T cell pulmonary inflammation in knockout mice might have some clinical implication in the treatment of cancer patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors when the patients are infected with MAC.

CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies oxidative phosphorylation as essential for cancer cell survival at low extracellular pH

Project description:Unlike most cell types, many cancer cells survive at low extracellular pH (pHe), a chemical signature of tumors. Genes that facilitate survival under acid stress are therefore potential targets for cancer therapies. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 cell viability screen at physiological and acidic conditions to systematically identify gene knockouts associated with pH-related fitness defects in colorectal cancer cells. Knockouts of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (NDUFS1) and iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis (IBA57, NFU1) grew well at physiological pHe, but underwent profound cell death under acidic conditions. We identified several small-molecule inhibitors of mitochondrial metabolism that can kill cancer cells at low pHe only. Xenografts established from NDUFS1-/- cells grew considerably slower than their wild-type controls, but growth could be stimulated with systemic bicarbonate therapy which lessens the tumoral acid stress. These findings raise the possibility of therapeutically targeting mitochondrial metabolism in combination with acid stress as a cancer treatment option.
