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

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.

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.

Project description:Interferon (IFN)-γ-producing CD8+ T cells are involved in control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, in part by promoting antimicrobial activities of macrophages. Whether Mtb counters these responses, particularly during the hypoxic conditions that arise within granulomas during infection, remains unknown. Using metabolomic, proteomic and genetic approaches, here we show that Mtb induces Rv0884c (SerC), a Mtb phosphoserine aminotransferase, to produce D-serine. This activity increased Mtb pathogenesis in mice but did not directly affect intramacrophage Mtb survival. Instead, D-serine inhibited IFN-γ production by CD8+ T cells, which indirectly reduced the ability of macrophages to restrict Mtb upon coculture. Mechanistically, D-serine interacted with WDR24, a subunit of GATOR2, and inhibited mTORC1 activation in T cells. This decreased T-bet transcription factor expression by CD8+ T cells and reduced IFN-γ production. Our findings suggest a mechanism of mycobacterial metabolic adaptation to hypoxia which leads to amino acid-dependent suppression of adaptive anti-TB immunity.

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.

Project description:We hypothesized that individuals with immunological sensitization to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), conventionally regarded as evidence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), would demonstrate binary responses to preventive therapy. This would reflect the differential immunological consequences of the sterilization of viable infection in those with an active Mtb infection versus no Mtb killing in those who, despite T cell recognition of Mtb antigens, did not harbor viable Mtb bacilli. We investigated the blood transcriptional profiles of 18 individuals with a positive IGRA result and known recent exposure to an index person with isoniazid and rifampicin susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis, at baseline, 2 weeks after initiating combined rifampicin/isoniazid (RH) preventive therapy and at treatment completion. Healthy control volunteers with no history of TB exposure and negative IGRA results were also included. RNA from unstimulated and M. tuberculosis peptide stimulated whole blood (from QuantiFERON TB1 and TB2 tubes) was measured using Agilent microarrays. A set of 474 genes showed the greatest interpersonal and temporal expression variability in antigen-stimulated blood. By performing longitudinal unsupervised clustering analysis with the subset of most variable genes, the IGRA+ participants were separated into two distinct groups. The IGRA-negative controls clustered within one of these groups suggesting that, in contrast to the other subgroup of IGRA+ individuals, RH had no discernible effect in this subgroup. 117 genes were significantly differentially expressed over time between these two groups, with the majority of them associated with immunological pathways known to be important in mycobacterial control. We contend that the different host RNA response reflects lack of Mtb viability in the group that clustered with the IGRA- unexposed healthy controls, and Mtb viability in the one that clustered away. Gene expression patterns in the blood of IGRA+ individuals emerging during the course of RH treatment which reflect Mtb viability could have major implications in the identification of risk of progression/reactivation, treatment stratification and clinical trials for LTBI therapy.

Project description:Arabinogalactan (AG) participates in forming the cell wall core of mycobacteria which is known as mAGP complex. Few studies on effects of AG on real-world virulence revealed its interaction with the host immune system, especially when taking the whole mycobacterial conditions into account. By CRISPRi, conditional mutant strains were constructed with low-expression of embA or glfT2 which involved in AG biosynthesis. HPGPC and HPLC confirmed EmbA_KD strain had a remarkable decrease in AG content with fragmentary arabinose chains, and GlfT2_KD strain displayed a modest reduction in content with dramatically cut-down galactose chains. Loose and thickened cell wall structure occurred with AG loss, and extracellular leakage happened from decreased arabinose under TEM and SEM. Phenotypes of EmbA_KD strain including spreading motility, biofilm formation and ethambutol resistance altered. When murine Tr4A.1 macrophages and human Gal9 KO cells were infected, EmbA_KD/GlfT2_KD strains displayed limited proliferation. Through transcriptome profiling, phagocytes infected by EmbA_KD/GlfT2_KD strains showed enhanced oxidative metabolism, and macrophages trended to survival when exposed to EmbA_KD strain. Secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6/MCP-1/MIP-1α/MIP-1β were induced by EmbA_KD strain via the TLR2 - C/EBPβ signaling pathway, which benefited the bactericidal effect. The onset progressions of knock-down strains in larvae zebrafish and murine tail infection models significantly delayed with attenuate inflammatory infiltrate in murine tail, further confirmed that AG was an important virulence factor at the whole bacterial level. In adult zebrafish, EmbA_KD showed decreased CFU/granulomas counts and restricted formation and distribution of granulomas. In conclusion, AG restrained host innate immune responses to enhance proliferation through reprogramming oxidative metabolism and cell death, and inhibiting phagocytes migration possibly. Arabinose chains contribute more to AG virulence, and cause easier recognition and removal of Mycobacterium by the host immune cells, which mimics the ethambutol inhibition process.

Project description:The eukaryotic GID/CTLH complex is a highly conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in a broad range of biological processes. However, a role of this complex in host antimicrobial defenses has not been described. We exploited Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induced cytotoxicity in macrophages in a FACS based CRISPR genetic screen to identify host determinants of intracellular Mtb growth restriction. Our screen identified 5 (GID8, YPEL5, WDR26, UBE2H, MAEA) of the 10 predicted members of the GID/CTLH complex as determinants of intracellular growth of both Mtb and Salmonella serovar Typhimurium. We show that the antimicrobial properties of the GID/CTLH complex knockdown macrophages are mediated by enhanced GABAergic signaling, activated AMPK, increased autophagic flux and resistance to cell death. Meanwhile, Mtb isolated from GID/CTLH knockdown macrophages are nutritionally starved and oxidatively stressed. Our study identifies the GID/CTLH complex activity as broadly suppressive of host antimicrobial responses against intracellular bacterial infections.
