Differential susceptibility to Candida albicans in mice

ABSTRACT: C5-deficiency in the A/J and recombinant congenic strain, BcA17, is linked to a dysregulated inflammatory response to Candida albicans infection and high morbidity compared to C5-sufficient C57Bl/6J (B6) mice. The recombinant congenic BcA70 strain thus provides an ideal model to study the effect of C5-deficiency on a B6 genetic background. We have used the A/J and BcA70 strains to carry out a detailed analysis of the pathophysiological effects of the uncontrolled inflammatory activity as a result of Candida infection. We present several lines of evidence to indicate that the heart of C5-deficient mice is severely affected by infection, although the kidney is the site of highest fungal replication. Histological sections of Candida-infected cardiac and kidney tissues from A/J mice reveal cellular infiltration in the vicinity of hyphal foci in the heart, leaving more dense fungal colonies in the kidney unaffected. As well as high-level inflammatory activity in the infected heart tissue, gene expression profiles revealed a striking lack of cardio-protective stress response linked to C5-deficiency. An inability of the A/J and BcA17 hearts to make the appropriate adaptive changes resulted in lower levels of both fatty acid and glucose metabolism, leading to cardiac failure.

C5a-licensed phagocytes drive sterilizing immunity during systemic fungal infection

Project description:Systemic candidiasis is a common, high-mortality, nosocomial fungal infection. Unexpectedly, it has emerged as a complication of anti-complement C5-targeted monoclonal antibody treatment, indicating a critical niche for C5 in antifungal immunity. We identified transcription of complement system genes as the top biological pathway induced in candidemic patients and as predictive of candidemia. Mechanistically, C5a-C5aR1 promoted fungal clearance and host survival in a mouse model of systemic candidiasis by stimulating phagocyte effector function and ERK- and AKT-dependent survival in infected tissues. C5ar1 ablation rewired macrophage metabolism downstream of mTOR, promoting their apoptosis and enhancing mortality through kidney injury. Besides hepatocyte-derived C5, local C5 produced intrinsically by phagocytes provided a key substrate for antifungal protection. Lower serum C5a concentrations or a C5 polymorphism that decreases leukocyte C5 expression correlated independently with poor patient outcomes. Thus, local, phagocyte-derived C5 production licenses phagocyte antimicrobial function and confers innate protection during systemic fungal infection.

The Cdkn2a gene product ARF is a critical regulator of IFNb mediated Lyme arthritis

Project description:Lyme disease is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, with a spectrum of clinical disorders. Murine studies with B6 and C3H mice have demonstrated that genetic differences in the host response play an essential role in regulating the severity of Lyme arthritis. C3H mice generate a robust induction of type I IFN response in joint tissue at one week of infection which leads to severe Lyme arthritis at 4 weeks post-infection, while B6 mice develop mild disease without a type I IFN profile. We used a forward genetic approach and identified B. burgdorferi arthritis- associated locus 1 (Bbaa1) on Chr4, which includes type I IFN cluster. B6.C3-Bbaa1 congenic mice display more severe Lyme arthritis than B6 mice. The blocking of type I IFN receptor and the IFNb subtype in Bbaa1 mice suppressed arthritis back to B6 level, so we concluded the Bbaa1 locus intrinsically controls IFNb production, and the differential expression of IFNb controls the severity of Lyme arthritis. However, the IFNb genes of C3H and B6 mice are identical, prompting focus on other genetic factors within the Bbaa1 locus as regulators of IFNb. Reciprocal radiation chimeras between B6.C3-Bbaa1 and B6 mice revealed myeloid cells in the joint tissue as IFNb initiators. Advanced congenic lines were generated to reduce the genetic contribution from C3H Bbaa1 region. RNA-seq of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from B6 and advanced interval specific recombinant congenic lines, ISRCL3 and ISRCL4, revealed novel candidates that may regulate Ifnb. In this study, we identify the Cdkn2a gene encoded ARF as a critical regulator of IFNb mediated Lyme arthritis, and investigate mechanistic interactions that modulate IFNb expression in Lyme arthritis development.

Gene expression profiles of in vitro-infected (Leishmania major) and uninfected mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages

Project description:Gene expression profiles of in vitro-infected (Leishmania major) and uninfected bone-marrow-derived macrophages from BALB/c, C57BL/6, C.B6-(lmr1, lmr2) and B6.c-(lmr1, lmr2) mouse strains. We utilised microarrays to investigate a number of issues. Firstly, we determined which genes were differentially regulated in macrophages in response to infection with Leishmania major. Secondly, we hoped to gain some insight into the differences between C-B6-(lmr1, lmr2) congenic mice and their parental control BALB/c, as well as differences between B6-c-(lmr1, lmr2) and their parental control C57BL/6. This would aid us in the search for the genes underlying our loci, since the only genomic regions differing between the two strains are those of the two congenic intervals on chromosomes 9 and 17. Any genes differentially regulated would be contributing to the experimental infection differences observed between the congenic mice and their parental controls.

Gene expression profiling during active Lyme arthritis development (22 days post infection with B. burgdorferi) in CD45 negative cells isolated from joint tissue of highly genetically similar mouse strains: B6, ISRCL4, and ISRCL3

Project description:Previously, using a forward genetic approach we identified B. burgdorferi arthritis-associated locus 1 (Bbaa1), a quantitative trait locus on Chr4, which physically encompasses the type I IFN gene cluster and regulates Lyme arthritis through heightened type I IFN production. Reciprocal radiation chimeras between B6.C3-Bbaa1 and B6 mice revealed that arthritis is initiated by radiation-sensitive cells, but orchestrated by radiation-resistant components of joint tissue. Advanced congenic lines were developed to reduce the physical size of the Bbaa1 interval, and RNA-seq of resident CD45- joint cells from advanced interval specific recombinant congenic lines (ISRCL4 and ISRCL3) identified myostatin as uniquely upregulated in association with Bbaa1 arthritis development. Our manuscript further demonstrates that myostatin expression is linked to IFN-β production, and in vivo inhibition of myostatin suppresses Lyme arthritis in the reduced interval Bbaa1 congenic mice, formally implicating myostatin as a novel downstream mediator of joint-specific inflammatory response to B. burgdorferi.

Combined transcriptional profiling during systemic candidiasis reveals organ-specific host-pathogen interactions [C. albicans]

Project description:The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common cause of life-threatening nosocomial bloodstream infections. In the murine model of systemic candidiasis the kidney is the primary target organ while the fungal load declines over time in liver and spleen. To get a better understanding of the organ-specific differences in host-pathogen interaction during systemic murine candidiasis, we performed a time-course gene expression profiling to investigate the differential responses of murine kidney, liver and spleen and determined the fungal transcriptome in liver and kidney. We clearly demonstrate a delayed immune response on the transcriptional level in kidney accompanied by late induction of fungal stress response genes in this organ. In contrast, early upregulation of the proinflammatory response in the liver was associated with a fungal transcriptional profile resembling that of phagocytosed cells, suggesting that the resident phagocytic system contributes significantly to fungal control in the liver. Although no visible filamentation occurred in the liver, C. albicans hypha-associated genes were upregulated, indicating an uncoupling of gene expression and morphology during infection of this organ. In vitro the induction of hypha-associated gene expression in yeast cells led to altered interaction with macrophages, suggesting that the observed transcriptional changes affect host-pathogen interaction in vivo. Consistently, the combination of host and pathogen transcriptional data in an inference network model implied that C. albicans cell wall remodeling and metabolism were connected to the immune responses in kidney and liver. Furthermore, the network suggested links between fungal iron acquisition and amino acid metabolism in the kidney and host organ homeostasis. Thus, this work provides novel insights into the organ-specific host-pathogen interactions during systemic C. albicans infection.

Transcription profiling of mouse lung from C57BL6 and DBA2 parental strains and D2.B6-Chr7 and D2.B6-Chr19 congenic mice following aerosol infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis for 30 and 70 days

Project description:To gain insight into the host cell types, cellular and molecular pathways possibly involved in the differential permissiveness to pulmonary replication of M. tuberculosis, we carried out transcript profiling studies on M. tuberculosis-infected lungs from congenic and parental strains. We were particularly interested in two groups of transcripts. The first group consists of transcripts which expression in the lung is regulated in response to M. tuberculosis infection (global response to infection), and that is obtained by comparing transcripts profiles of infected vs. uninfected lungs. The second group of transcripts is associated with increased resistance to M. tuberculosis infection of B6 and D2.B6-Chr7 mice. That list consists in the overlap between the lists commonly expressed in response to infection between resistant B6 and D2.B6-Chr7 but that show a significant difference in modulation when compared to infected susceptible D2.<br><br> In these experiments, B6, D2 as well as the D2.B6-Chr19, and D2.B6-Chr7 congenic lines were infected with M. tuberculosis and lungs were harvested at day 30 and day 70, and RNA was prepared. Three independent RNA samples from each group were converted to labeled cDNAs and hybridized to Affymetrix oligonucleotides arrays (Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array). Hybridization results were analyzed with the Genesifter analysis program to characterize changes in gene expression.

in vitro ubiquitination by E3 ligase Cbl-b

Project description:Fungal infections claim an estimated 1.5 million lives every year. Mechanisms that protect from fungal infections are still elusive. Recognition of fungal pathogens relies on C-type lectin receptors (CLR) and their downstream signaling kinase SYK. Here we report that the E3-ubiquitin-ligase CBL-B controls proximal C-type lectin receptor signaling in macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that CBL-B associates with SYK and ubiquitinates SYK, Dectin-1, and Dectin-2 upon fungal recognition. Functionally, CBL-B deficiency results in increased inflammasome activation, enhanced reactive oxygen species production, and increased fungal killing. Genetic deletion of Cblb protects mice from morbidity caused by cutaneous infection and markedly improves survival upon a lethal systemic infection with Candida albicans. Based on these findings, we engineered a cell-permeable CBL-B inhibitory peptide that protects mice from lethal C. albicans infections. We thus describe a key role for Cblb in the regulation of innate anti-fungal immunity and establish a novel paradigm for the treatment of fungal sepsis.
