Gut complement induced by the microbiota combats pathogens and spares commensals

ABSTRACT: Canonically, the complement system is known for its rapid response to remove microbes in the bloodstream. However, relatively little is known about a functioning complement system on intestinal mucosal surfaces. Herein we report the local synthesis of complement component 3 (C3) in the gut, primarily by stromal cells. C3 is expressed upon commensal colonization, is regulated by the composition of the microbiota in healthy humans and mice, leading to an individual host’s specific luminal C3 levels. The absence of membrane attack complex (MAC) components in the gut ensures that C3 deposition does not result in the lysis of commensals. Pathogen infection triggers the immune system to recruit neutrophils to the infection site for pathogen clearance. Basal C3 levels directly correlate with protection against enteric infection. Our study reveals the gut complement system as a novel innate immune mechanism acting as a vigilant sentinel that combats pathogens and spares commensals.

From carrier to responder - few commensals restore immunocompetence in adult germfree mice via maturation of the intestinal vascular system

Project description:The intestinal microbiota fundamentally influences the development of a normal intestinal physiology and education and functioning of the mucosal immune system. Using the C. rodentium carrier model of germfree mice (GF), we found that colonization of adult GF with 14 selected commensals (OMM12+MC2) was sufficient to convert a carriers into responders through maturation of intestinal crypts, increasing intestinal angiogenesis and stimulation of the immune system. While the immature colon of C. rodentium infected GF did not allow sufficient extravasation of neutrophils into the gut lumen, colonization with these commensals triggered activation and proliferation of endothelial cells, enabling granulocytes to transmigrate into the gut lumen. Enhanced angiogenesis and morphological maturation development of the intestine was most likely due to sensing of commensals by Paneth cells and subsequent secretion of antimicrobial peptides and angiogenetic factors. This demonstrates the therapeutic value of few commensal bacteria to complete morphological and immunological maturation in of the adult intestinal mucosa enabling rendering this organ immunocompetent against infections and responsive to therapies.

Leaf transcriptomes of Arabidopsis thaliana colonized by representative phyllosphere commensals alone and in combination with the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000

Project description:Plants are colonized by a variety of microorganisms, the plant microbiota. In the phyllosphere, the above-ground parts of plants, bacteria are the most abundant inhabitants. Most of these microorganisms are not pathogenic and the plant responses to commensals or to pathogen infection in the presence of commensals are not well understood. We report the Arabidopsis leaf transcriptome after 3 to 4 weeks of colonization by Methylobacterium extorquens PA1 and Sphingomonas melonis Fr1, representatives of two abundant genera in the phyllosphere, compared to axenic plants. In addition, we also sequenced the transcriptome of Arabidopsis 2 and 7 days after spray-infection with a low dose of P. syringae DC3000 and in combination with the commensals.

Salmonella manipulates the host to drive pathogenicity via induction of interleukin 1β [16S]

Project description:Acute gastrointestinal infection with intracellular pathogens like Salmonella Typhimurium triggers the release of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 1β (IL-1β). However, the role of IL-1β in intestinal defense against Salmonella remains unclear. Here, we show that IL-1b production is detrimental during Salmonella infection. Mice lacking IL-1b (IL-1b -/-) failed to recruit neutrophils to the gut during infection, which reduced tissue damage and prevented depletion of short-chain fatty acid-producing commensals. Changes in epithelial cell metabolism that typically support pathogen expansion, such as switching energy production from fatty acid oxidation to fermentation, were absent in infected IL-1b -/- mice which inhibited Salmonella expansion. Additionally, we found that IL-1b induces expression of complement anaphylatoxins and suppresses the complement-inactivator Carboxypeptidase N (CPN1). Disrupting this process via IL-1b loss prevented mortality in Salmonella-infected IL-1b -/- mice. Finally, we found that IL-1b expression correlates with expression of the complement receptor in patients suffering from sepsis, but not uninfected patients and healthy individuals. Thus, Salmonella exploits IL-1b signaling to outcompete commensal microbes and establish gut colonization. Moreover, our findings identify the intersection of IL-1b signaling and the complement system as key host factors involved in controlling mortality during invasive Salmonellosis.

Ad vectors in C3KO mice

Project description:Replication-deficient adenovirus (Ad) type 5 capsids induce potent host innate immune responses. One system pivotal in host innate immune defense is the complement system. Intriguingly, excessive or inappropriate complement activation can result in extreme tissue damage and systemic inflammatory responses similar to those noted immediately after high dose systemic Ad vector injections. To determine if the complement system has a significant role in intensifying Ad-associated acute toxicities, we compared complement deficient (C3-knockout (KO)) mice responses to those of wild type (WT) mice following systemic challenge with Ad vectors. We noted not only thrombocytopenia and rapid increases in plasma IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-12 levels previously reported after high dose Ad injections into WT mice, but also induction of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10, G-CSF and GM-CSF, and chemokines KC (CXCL1) and MIP-1. This expanded innate response “profile” was significantly blunted in Ad injected C3-KO mice, with a near complete avoidance of thrombocytopenia. Further validation for complement’s critical role in perturbing these innate responses against Ad were noted after comparison of gene specific RNA transcription levels in C3-KO to WT mice livers. Finally, these disparities were not attributed to a diminished ability of the Ad vectors to transduce C3-KO mice hepatocytes. These results suggest that Ad capsid interaction with the mammalian complement system may exacerbate the toxicity of systemic Ad injections, and thus represents a future target for manipulation in efforts to improve the efficacy and safety profile of Ad mediated gene delivery.

Complement C3 released from neurotoxic reactive astrocytes impairs learning and memory in the mouse model of postoperative neurodegenerative disorders

Project description:Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PNDs) can commonly occur after major surgery in at risk patients and its occurrence increases medical healthcare burdens and even mortality. Accumulating evidence points to neuroinflammation being pivotal to the pathogenesis of these conditions. The complement cascade contributes to neuroinflammatory responses in the central nervous system (CNS) and complement C3 has been implicated in the manifestation of cognitive deficits in several neurological conditions. Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes function differently to their non-activated counterparts and release complement components in response to pathological triggers. We observed previously that surgery induces a rapid rise and then fall in cytokines but a more sustained glial activation response that coincided with postoperative cognitive impairment. In this study, we explored the relationship between the expression of complement C3, glial activation, and cognitive deficits. Using a murine model of surgery, we characterized the transcriptional profiles of hippocampal astrocytes after surgery and examined the effects of C3 suppression on the neuroinflammatory response and cognitive performance. There was a delayed but sustained rise in hippocampal C3 of astrocytic in origin after surgery which corresponded with the onset of cognitive decline. Furthermore, the A1 or the neurotoxic phenotype predominated in this postoperative astrocytic activation, and these cells have a distinct transcriptional profile including C3 upregulation. Suppression of C3 inhibited synaptic phagocytosis by microglia and attenuated postoperative cognitive impairment. Therefore, C3 from reactive astrocytes appear central to the development of cognitive dysfunction associated with postoperative neuroinflammation.
