BCG induces CX3CR1hi effector memory T cells to provide cross-protection via IFN-y mediated trained immunity

ABSTRACT: After a century of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, our understanding of its protection against homologous (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) or heterologous (e.g. influenza virus) infections is still limited. Here we show that systemic (intravenous) BCG vaccination (BCG-iv) provides significant protection against subsequent influenza A virus (IAV) infection in mice. We further demonstrate that the BCG-mediated cross-protection against IAV is largely due to the enrichment of conventional CD4+ αβ effector memory T cells that express high levels of CX3CR1hi in circulation trafficking into the lung parenchyma. Importantly, pulmonary CX3CR1hi T cells limit early viral infection in an antigen-independent manner via potent IFNγ production, which subsequently enhances long-term antimicrobial activity of the innate immune system like alveolar macrophages. Similarly, we uncover a prominent IFNγ signature in which its increased basal production was associated with enhanced BCG-mediated heterologous innate memory responses in BCG-vaccinated humans. These results offer insight into the unknown mechanism by which BCG has persistently displayed broad protection against non-tuberculous infections via a crosstalk between adaptive and innate memory responses.

Project description:Miao2010 - Innate and adaptive immune responses to primary Influenza A Virus infection This model is described in the article: Quantifying the early immune response and adaptive immune response kinetics in mice infected with influenza A virus. Miao H, Hollenbaugh JA, Zand MS, Holden-Wiltse J, Mosmann TR, Perelson AS, Wu H, Topham DJ. J. Virol. 2010 Jul; 84(13): 6687-6698 Abstract: Seasonal and pandemic influenza A virus (IAV) continues to be a public health threat. However, we lack a detailed and quantitative understanding of the immune response kinetics to IAV infection and which biological parameters most strongly influence infection outcomes. To address these issues, we use modeling approaches combined with experimental data to quantitatively investigate the innate and adaptive immune responses to primary IAV infection. Mathematical models were developed to describe the dynamic interactions between target (epithelial) cells, influenza virus, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), and virus-specific IgG and IgM. IAV and immune kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting models to a large data set obtained from primary H3N2 IAV infection of 340 mice. Prior to a detectable virus-specific immune response (before day 5), the estimated half-life of infected epithelial cells is approximately 1.2 days, and the half-life of free infectious IAV is approximately 4 h. During the adaptive immune response (after day 5), the average half-life of infected epithelial cells is approximately 0.5 days, and the average half-life of free infectious virus is approximately 1.8 min. During the adaptive phase, model fitting confirms that CD8(+) CTLs are crucial for limiting infected cells, while virus-specific IgM regulates free IAV levels. This may imply that CD4 T cells and class-switched IgG antibodies are more relevant for generating IAV-specific memory and preventing future infection via a more rapid secondary immune response. Also, simulation studies were performed to understand the relative contributions of biological parameters to IAV clearance. This study provides a basis to better understand and predict influenza virus immunity. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000546.
