Tuberculosis patients, latent and uninfected controls; whole blood

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) still poses a profound burden on global health, owing to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although a fully functional immune system is essential for the control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, the underlying mechanisms and reasons for failure in part of the infected population remain enigmatic. Here, whole-blood microarray gene expression analyses were performed in TB patients and in latently as well as uninfected healthy controls to define biomarkers predictive of susceptibility and resistance. Fc gamma receptor 1B (FCGRIB)was identified as the most differentially expressed gene, and, in combination with four other markers, produced a high degree of accuracy in discriminating TB patients and latently infected donors. We determined differentially expressed genes unique for active disease and identified profiles that correlated with susceptibility and resistance to TB. Elevated expression of innate immune-related genes in active TB and higher expression of particular gene clusters involved in apoptosis and natural killer cell activity in latently infected donors are likely to be the major distinctive factors determining failure or success in controlling M. tuberculosis infection. The gene expression profiles defined in this study provide valuable clues for better understanding of progression from latent infection to active disease and pave the way for defining predictive correlates of protection in TB.

Epigenetics and Proteomics join Transcriptomics on the quest towards TB Biomarkers

Project description:Even though recent reports estimate a reduction in the spread and contraction of Tuberculosis (TB), 30 % of the world population are currently being latently infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This latent infection can at any time develop into active disease. Biomarkers to monitor this process as well as biomarkers for disease susceptibility and TB diagnosis is urgently needed in order to facilitate a more drastic decrease in the spread of Mtb and better care for TB patients. Our understanding of biology combined with evolving technical advances in high-throughput techniques, led us to investigate the possibility of additional role players (epigenetics and proteomics) in the quest to (a) understand the biology of TB host response and (b) search for biomarkers in TB diagnostics and –susceptibility. We engaged in a pilot study, using a relatively small sample set to interrogate the DNA methylome, transcriptome and proteome in monocytes and granulocytes of TB patients and healthy latently infected participants. The observations in this study provide a first glimpse at the level- and sources of diversity in the epigenome and proteome amongst TB patients and latently infected controls despite limitations due to small sample size. Functionally the differences between the disease phenotypes observed in the different platforms were congruent and suggest regulation of function not only at the transcriptional level, but also by DNA methylation and microRNA. We conclude that the current data support the notion to develop a large scale study of especially the DNA methylome while care should be taken in the study design to account for variation based on gender, age and cell type.

Tuberculosis alters immune-metabolic pathways resulting in perturbed IL-1 responses [Luminex]

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem and we lack a comprehensive understanding of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection impacts host immune responses. We compared, at two timepoints, the induced immune response to TB antigen, BCG and IL-1β stimulation between latently M. tb infected individuals (LTBI) and active TB patients. The immune response was stimulated using the TruCulture system with the corresponding stimulations: TB antigen, BCG, 1L1b, and the Luminex xMAP array was used to assess the cytokines expression profile of the samples.

Tuberculosis alters immune-metabolic pathways resulting in perturbed IL-1 responses [metabolomics]

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem and we lack a comprehensive understanding of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection impacts host immune responses. We compared, at two timepoints, the induced immune response to TB antigen, BCG and IL-1β stimulation between latently M. tb infected individuals (LTBI) and active TB patients. The immune response was assessed using the TruCulture system with a Null stimulation. samples were tested by Ultrahigh Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectroscopy (UPLC MS/MS) for a total of 696 metabolites.

Complement pathway gene activation and rising circulating immune complexes characterize early disease in HIV-associated tuberculosis

Project description:Analysis of transcriptional differences between HIV infected persons with evidence of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection by Quantiferon Gold-in-tube, with and without evidence of subclinical TB disease on FDG-PET/CT scan. Tuberculosis is classically divided into two clinical states: latent infection and active disease. One-quarter of the global population is considered latently infected but diagnostic tests poorly predict the small proportion that will progress to disease. We recruited 35 asymptomatic, HIV-1 infected adults with latent TB by current diagnostic criteria, who underwent [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission/computed tomography; ten had pulmonary abnormalities consistent with subclinical disease and were significantly more likely to progress. As positive control, we recruited 15 HIV-1 infected adults with symptomatic microbiologically confirmed active pulmonary TB, age, sex and CD4 matched to the 35 participants undergoing FDG-PET/CT. By whole-blood transcriptomic profiling we characterised 82-transcripts distinguishing those with subclinical pathology from those without. Transcripts representing the classical complement pathway were overabundant in both subclinical and active TB. We have demonstrated that latent TB is not a homogenous condition and defined a distinct high-risk subgroup with evidence of subclinical disease. These findings point the way to the future development of more predictive diagnostic tests.

Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv in whole blood from HIV- and HIV+ individuals

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), the cause of tuberculosis (TB), utilizes the blood circulation to spread systemically and establish infection, and the risk of developing active TB (pulmonary and extrapulmonary) is significantly increased in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this work, we have used DNA microarray analysis to investigate the transcriptome of M. tb replicating in human whole blood from both HIV-negative and HIV-positive donors compared to M. tb grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth media in order to identify M. tb adaptations to this host environment as well as M. tb mechanisms/factors contributing to increased active and disseminated TB during M. tb/HIV co-infection.

WhiB4 is required for the reactivation of latent infection of Mycobacterium marinum in zebrafish II

Project description:Granulomas are the pathological hallmark of tuberculosis (TB). In individuals latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), the bacteria are thought to reside within the granulomas in a nonreplicating dormant state due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients. However, a portion of these individuals will develop active TB and little is known on the bacterial mechanisms/factors involved in this process. In this study, we found that WhiB4, an oxygen sensor and a transcription factor, plays a critical role in disease progression and reactivation of Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) infection in zebrafish. We show that the whiB4 mutant of M. marinum caused latent infection in adult zebrafish, which is characterized by the stable bacterial loads, constant number of non-necrotized granulomas in fewer organs, and reduced immune responses compared to zebrafish infected with the wild type bacteria or the complemented strain. The mutant bacteria in zebrafish were also less responsive to antibiotic treatments. Moreover, the whiB4 mutant was defective in resuscitation from hypoxia-induced dormancy and that the DosR regulon was dysregulated in the mutant. Taken together, our results suggest that WhiB4 is a major driver of reactivation from latent infection and that WhiB4 is an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutics, which may help to prevent the reactivation of latent infection thereby reducing the incidences of active TB.
