Cell-intrinsic regulation of phagocyte function by interferon lambda during pulmonary viral, bacterial super-infection

ABSTRACT: Influenza infections result in a significant number of severe illnesses annually, many of which are complicated by secondary bacterial super-infection. Primary influenza infection has been shown to increase susceptibility to secondary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection by altering the host immune response, leading to significant immunopathology. Type III interferons (IFNs), or IFNλs, have gained traction as potential antiviral therapeutics due to their restriction of viral replication without damaging inflammation. The role of IFNλ in regulating epithelial biology in super-infection has recently been established; however, the impact of IFNλ on immune cells is less defined. In this study, we infected wild-type and IFNLR1-/- mice with influenza A/PR/8/34 followed by S. aureus USA300. We demonstrated that global IFNLR1-/- mice have enhanced bacterial clearance through increased uptake by phagocytes, which was shown to be cell-intrinsic specifically in myeloid cells in mixed bone marrow chimeras. We also showed that depletion of IFNLR1 on CX3CR1 expressing myeloid immune cells, but not neutrophils, was sufficient to significantly reduce bacterial burden compared to mice with intact IFNLR1. These findings provide insight into how IFNλ in an influenza-infected lung impedes bacterial clearance during super-infection and show a direct cell intrinsic role for IFNλ signaling on myeloid cells.

Heterotypic Influenza Infections Mitigate Susceptibility to Secondary Bacterial Infection

Project description:Influenza associated bacterial super-infections have devastating impacts on the lung and can result in increased risk of mortality. New strains of influenza circulate throughout the population yearly promoting the establishment of immune memory. Nearly all individuals have some degree of influenza memory prior to adulthood. Due to this we sought to understand the role of immune memory during bacterial super-infections. An influenza heterotypic immunity model was established using influenza A/PR/8/34 and A/X31. We report here that influenza experienced mice are more resistant to secondary bacterial infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as determined by wasting, bacterial burden, pulmonary inflammation, and lung leak, despite significant ongoing lung remodeling. Multidimensional flow cytometry and lung transcriptomics revealed significant alterations in the lung environment in influenza-experienced mice compared with naïve animals. These include changes in the lung monocyte and T cell compartments, characterized by increased expansion of influenza tetramer specific CD8+ T cells. The protection that was seen in memory experienced mouse model is associated with the reduction in inflammatory mechanisms making the lung less susceptible to damage and subsequent bacterial colonization. These findings provide insight into how influenza heterotypic immunity re-shapes the lung environment and the immune response to a re-challenge event, which is highly relevant to the context of human infection.

STAT2 Signaling Regulates Macrophage Phenotype during Influenza and Bacterial Super-infection

Project description:Influenza is the common respiratory problem that infects between 5-20% of the US population and results in 30,000 deaths annually. A primary cause of the influenza-associated death is due to secondary bacterial pneumonia. In this study, we investigated the role of STAT2 signaling during influenza and influenza-bacterial super-infection in mice. Herein, we demonstrate that STAT2 signaling is required for viral control, regulation of inflammation, and limiting mortality during influenza single infection. Surprisingly, despite this deficiency in anti-viral immunity, we found increased bacterial control and survival in STAT2 deficient mice during influenza-MRSA super-infection compared to controls. This protection in the absence of STAT2 was associated with accumulation of dual phenotype M1/M2 macrophages, which were required for control of bacterial infection. Together, these results suggest that the STAT2 signaling is involved in suppressing macrophage activation and bacterial control during influenza-bacterial super-infection.

Smith2016-Combination therapy to prevent bacterial coinfection during influenza.

Project description:Secondary bacterial infections (SBIs) exacerbate influenza-associated disease and mortality. Antimicrobial agents can reduce the severity of SBIs, but many have limited efficacy or cause adverse effects. Thus, new treatment strategies are needed. Kinetic models describing the infection process can help determine optimal therapeutic targets, the time scale on which a drug will be most effective, and how infection dynamics will change under therapy. To understand how different therapies perturb the dynamics of influenza infection and bacterial coinfection and to quantify the benefit of increasing a drug’s efficacy or targeting a different infection process, I analyzed data from mice treated with an antiviral, an antibiotic, or an immune modulatory agent with kinetic models. The results suggest that antivirals targeting the viral life cycle are most efficacious in the first 2 days of infection, potentially because of an improved immune response, and that increasing the clearance of infected cells is important for treatment later in the infection. For a coinfection, immunotherapy could control low bacterial loads with as little as 20 % efficacy, but more effective drugs would be necessary for high bacterial loads. Antibiotics targeting bacterial replication and administered 10 h after infection would require 100 % efficacy, which could be reduced to 40 % with prophylaxis. Combining immunotherapy with antibiotics could substantially increase treatment success. Taken together, the results suggest when and why some therapies fail, determine the efficacy needed for successful treatment, identify potential immune effects, and show how the regulation of underlying mechanisms can be used to design new therapeutic strategies.

Antibiotic use during influenza infection augments lung eosinophils that impair lung immunity against secondary bacterial pneumonia

Project description:A leading cause of morbidity and mortality during influenza infection is the development of a secondary bacterial pneumonia, which is appropriately treated with antibiotics. In the absence of a bacterial superinfection, prescribing antibiotics is not indicated but has nevertheless become a common clinical practice for those presenting with a respiratory viral illness. We found that antibiotic use during an antecedent influenza infection impaired the lung innate immunologic defenses toward a secondary challenge with methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA). The antibiotics perturbed the gut microbiome causing a fungal dysbiosis that drives an increase in lung eosinophils. We also demonstrate eosinophils, through the release of major basic protein, impair macrophage ability to clear MRSA. Moreover, we provide clinical evidence that eosinophils positively correlate with antibiotic use and worsened outcomes in patients hospitalized for viral infections. Altogether, our work establishes a counterproductive effect of antibiotic treatment during influenza infection that have negative immunologic consequences in the lungs thereby increasing the risk of developing a secondary bacterial infection.

Inflammation induced by influenza virus impairs innate control of human pneumococcal carriage

Project description:Secondary bacterial pneumonia following influenza infection is a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Upper respiratory tract pneumococcal carriage is important as both determinants of disease and population transmission. The immunological mechanisms that contain pneumococcal carriage are well-studied in mice but remain unclear in humans. Loss of this control of carriage following influenza infection is associated with secondary bacterial pneumonia during seasonal and pandemic outbreaks. We used a human type 6B pneumococcal challenge model to show that carriage acquisition induces early degranulation of resident neutrophils and recruitment of monocytes to the nose. Monocyte function associated with clearance of pneumococcal carriage. Prior nasal infection with live attenuated influenza virus induced inflammation, impaired innate function and altered genome-wide nasal gene responses to pneumococcal carriage. Levels of the cytokine IP-10 promoted by viral infection at the time of pneumococcal encounter was positively associated with bacterial density. These findings provide novel insights in nasal immunity to pneumococcus and viral-bacterial interactions during co-infection.

Staphylococcus aureus stimulates neutrophil itaconate production that suppresses the oxidative burst

Project description:Neutrophils are critical in the host defense against Staphylococcus aureus, a major human pathogen. However, even in the setting of a robust neutrophil response, S. aureus can cause persistent infection. Here we demonstrate that S. aureus impairs neutrophil function by triggering the production of the anti-inflammatory metabolite, itaconate. The enzyme that synthesizes itaconate, Irg1, is selectively expressed in neutrophils during S. aureus pneumonia. Itaconate inhibits neutrophil glycolysis and oxidative burst, which impairs survival and bacterial killing. In a murine pneumonia model, neutrophil Irg1 expression protects critical lung cell populations from oxidative stress but compromises bacterial clearance. S. aureus is thus able to evade innate immune clearance by targeting neutrophil metabolism and inducing the production of the antiinflammatory metabolite itaconate.

Differential ability of pandemic and seasonal H1N1 influenza 1 A virus to alter function of human neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophils are essential cells of host innate immunity. Although the role of neutrophils in defense against bacterial and fungal infections is well characterized, there is relative paucity of information about their role against viral infections. Influenza A virus (IAV) infection can be associated with secondary bacterial co-infection, and it has long been posited that the ability of IAV to alter normal neutrophil function predisposes individuals to secondary bacterial infections. To better understand this phenomenon, we evaluated the interaction of pandemic or seasonal H1N1 IAV with human neutrophils isolated from healthy subjects. These viruses were ingested by human neutrophils and elicited changes in neutrophil gene expression that are consistent with an interferon-mediated immune response. Viability of neutrophils following co-culture with either pandemic and seasonal H1N1 IAV was similar for up to 18 h of culture. Notably, neutrophil exposure to seasonal IAV (but not pandemic IAV) primed these leukocytes for enhanced functions, including production of reactive oxygen species and bactericidal activity. Taken together, our results are at variance with the universal idea that IAV impairs neutrophil function directly to predispose individuals to secondary bacterial infections. Rather, we suggest some strains of IAV prime neutrophils for enhanced bacterial clearance.

MRSA temporal adaptation to the healthy and influenza injured lung microenvironment

Project description:Influenza-induced respiratory failure is substantially worsened by secondary bacterial infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The bidirectional interaction between the influenza-injured lung microenvironment and MRSA is poorly understood. By conditioning MRSA ex vivo in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected from mice at various timepoints of influenza infection, we found that influenza-injured lung microenvironment induces MRSA to increase cytotoxin expression while decreasing metabolic pathways. This overall increase in MRSA virulence was dependent upon SaeRS, a bacterial two-component system. Once expressed by MRSA, these influenza-induced toxins (such as Hla and LukAB) interact with host heparan sulfate (HS) fragments shed into the airspace. Highly-sulfated HS fragments augmented Hla- and LukAB-toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicate that post-influenza MRSA pneumonia is shaped by bidirectional host-pathogen interactions: host injury triggers changes in bacterial expression of toxins, the activity of which are then shaped by host-derived HS fragments.
