Single Cell Analysis of Peripheral TB-Associated Granulomatous Lymphadenitis

ABSTRACT: We employed a single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approach to describe the cells and communication networks characterizing granulomatous lymph nodes of TB patients. When mapping cells from individual patient samples, we uniformly identify several cell types that characterize granulomas. Whether high or low Mtb burden, overall we find the T cell cluster to be the most abundant. Other cell clusters that are uniformly detected, but that vary dramatically in abundance amongst the individual patient samples, are the B cell, plasma cell and macrophage/dendrocyte and NK cell clusters. When we combine all our scRNA-seq data from our current 23 patients (to gain greater n), we distinguish T, macrophage, dendrocyte and plasma cell subclusters. The sizes of these subclusters also varies dramatically amongst the individual patients. In comparing FNA composition we noted trends in which T cell populations and macrophage/dendrocyte populations were negatively or positively correlated with NK cell populations. In addition, we discovered that the scRNA-seq pipeline detects Mtb RNA transcripts and associates them with their host cell’s transcriptome, thus identifying individual infected cells. The number of infected cells also varies dramatically in abundance amongst the patient samples. CellChat analysis identified predominating signaling pathways amongst the cells comprising the various granulomas.

Ultra-low dose aerosol infection provides an improved murine model of tuberculosis

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is a heterogeneous disease manifesting in a subset of individuals infected with aerosolized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Unlike human TB, murine infection results in uniformly high lung bacterial burdens and poorly organized granulomas. To develop a TB model that more closely resembles human disease, we infected mice with an ultra-low dose (ULD) of between 1-3 founding bacteria, reflecting a physiologic inoculum. ULD-infected mice exhibited highly heterogeneous bacterial burdens, well-circumscribed granulomas that shared features with human granulomas, and prolonged Mtb containment with unilateral pulmonary infection in some mice. We identified blood RNA signatures in mice infected with an ULD or a conventional Mtb dose (50-100 CFU) that correlated with lung bacterial burdens and predicted Mtb infection outcomes across species, including risk of progression to active TB in humans. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of the mouse TB model and show that ULD infection recapitulates key features of human TB.

Lymphoid function of the tuberculous granuloma

Project description:Induced lymphoid structures associated with pulmonary granulomas have been observed during TB in both humans and mice and could orchestrate host defense. In order to determine whether granulomas perform lymphoid functions, mice lacking secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). As in wild type mice (WT), granulomas developed, MTB was controlled, and antigen-specific T cell responses including T central memory (TCM) cells were generated in the complete absence of SLOs. Moreover, T cell activation correlated with granuloma formation in these mice and TCM cells accumulated in lungs and participated in protection against secondary MTB infection. Lung granulomas may therefore represent tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) capable of priming robust T cell responses and mediating host defense during chronic MTB at the site of infection.

Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of bacterial lipoprotein-induced polyploid macrophages.

Project description:Granulomas are immune cell aggregates formed in response to persistent inflammatory stimuli. Granuloma macrophage subsets are diverse and carry varying copy numbers of their genomic information. The molecular programs that control the differentiation of such macrophage populations in response to a chronic stimulus, though critical for disease outcome, have not been defined. In this study, we performed scRNA-Seq experiments to gain insights into the transcriptional regulation of polyploid macrophage differentiation in response to chronically persistent inflammatory stimuli.

Gene expression profiling of granuloma T cells in M. tuberculosis infected rhesus macaques reveals a critical role for CD30 [Mus musculus]

Project description:Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires generation of T cells that migrate to granulomas, complex immune structures surrounding sites of bacterial replication. Here we compared the gene expression profiles of T cells in pulmonary granulomas, bronchoalveolar lavage and blood of Mtb-infected rhesus macaques to identify granuloma-enriched T cell genes. TNFRSF8/CD30 was among the top genes that was upregulated in both CD4 and CD8 granuloma T cells and independent of bacterial loads. Transcriptomic profiling of lung T cells from Mtb-infected mixed bone marrow chimeric mice showed that CD30 directly promotes CD4 T cell differentiation and effector molecule expression. Moreover, in mice CD30 expression on CD4 T cells is required for survival of Mtb infection. These results show the CD30 co-stimulatory axis is highly upregulated on granuloma T cells and is critical for the generation of protective T cell responses against Mtb infection.

Effect of hypoxia on Mycobacterium tuberculosis-host phagocyte interactions

Project description:Mtb appears to have developed specialized biomolecular infrastructure to survive and persist within granulomas, where it is subjected to a diverse set of stress conditions. One of these stress conditions is hypoxia. We hypothesized that host cell response is radically altered with hypoxia stressed Mtb and designed in-vitro experiments to study this phenomenon. Hypoxia-stressed as well as aerobically grown Mtb were used to infect rhesus macaque bone marrow derived macrophages (Rh-BMDMs) and the host global transcriptional response compared. Using 4 x44 k Agilent arrays specific for rhesus macaque genome, we tested in biological duplicate the effect of aerogically grown Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs and compared this to the corresponding effect of the hypoxia-conditioned Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs

A protective role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection requires the activities of multiple leukocyte subsets, yet the roles of the different innate effector cells during tuberculosis (TB) are incompletely understood. Here we show a role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mtb infection. In humans, eosinophils are found in resected human TB lung lesions and autopsy granulomas. Eosinophils are also found in granulomas in zebrafish, mice, and non-human primates, where they are functionally activated and degranulate. Transcriptional profiling of lung tissue after Mtb infection of mice, that selectively lack eosinophils, revealed changes in neuronal associated pathways. Importantly, employing several independent models of eosinophil deficiency in mice, we demonstrate that eosinophils are required for optimal pulmonary bacterial control and host survival after Mtb infection. Collectively, our findings establish an unexpected role for eosinophils, granulocytes typically associated with type II inflammation, in host resistance against Mtb, a major human bacterial pathogen.

Proteomic analysis of the secretome of selected Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman strains

Project description:Extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) aggregates can evade phagocytosis and intracellular host-cell defenses by inducing macrophage killing. We showed that Mtb aggregates require a functional ESX-1 type VII secretion system and production of the surface-exposed lipid phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM) to induce cell death upon contact with macrophages. We used quantitative proteomics to compare the secretome of a panel of Mtb mutant strains that induce or do not induce macrophage death and identified secreted bacteria factors involved in macrophage death induction.

CITE-seq analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected B6 and Sp140-deficient mouse lungs

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes 1.5 million deaths annually. Active tuberculosis correlates with a neutrophil-driven type I interferon (IFN) signature, but the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We found that interstitial macrophages (IMs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are dominant producers of type I IFN during Mtb infection in mice and non-human primates, and pDCs localize near human Mtb granulomas. Depletion of pDCs reduces Mtb burdens, implicating pDCs in tuberculosis pathogenesis. During IFN-driven disease, we observe abundant DNA-containing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) known to activate pDCs. Single cell RNA-seq indicates that type I IFNs act on IMs to impair their responses to IFNg, a cytokine critical for Mtb control. Cell type-specific disruption of the type I IFN receptor suggests IFNs act on IMs to inhibit Mtb control. We propose pDC-derived type I IFNs, driven by NETs, act on IMs to drive bacterial replication, further neutrophil recruitment, and active tuberculosis disease.
