Hookworm-Induced Persistent Changes to the Immunological Environment of the Lung

ABSTRACT: Infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis results in persistent changes to the lung environment. Cytokine profiling reveals a sustained increase in both Th1 and Th2 transcripts. Cellular populations of macrophages display an alternative phenotype, with upregulation of YM1, Arg1, Mrc1 as well as Class II MHC. These alternatively activated alveolar macrophages (AAAMs) also increase drastically in number. Subsequent challenge with house dust mite (HDM) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus shows a reduced allergic phenotype, with decreased fold changes in effector cell cytokines of both the Th1 and Th2 variety indicative of the new regulatory environment established in the lung by helminth infection. Histological examination of the lung environment reveals a significant decrease in eosinophila and reduced mucous production by bronchial epithelial cells.

Transcription profiling of mouse infected with hookworm to investigate induced persistent changes to the immunological environment of the lung

Project description:Infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis results in persistent changes to the lung environment. Cytokine profiling reveals a sustained increase in both Th1 and Th2 transcripts. Cellular populations of macrophages display an alternative phenotype, with upregulation of YM1, Arg1, Mrc1 as well as Class II MHC.

Subsequent challenge with house dust mite (HDM) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus shows a reduced allergic phenotype, with decreased fold changes in effector cell cytokines of both the Th1 and Th2 variety indicative of the new regulatory environment established in the lung by helminth infection. Histological examination of the lung environment reveals a significant decrease in eosinophila and reduced mucous production by bronchial epithelial cells. Experiment Overall Design: BALB/c mice were challenged with 500 infectious L3 stage Nippostrongylus brasiliensis larvae subcutaneously. Mice were allowed to resolve their infection, then were sensitized twice with 75 allergy units (AU) of HDM bound to 1mg of alum intraperitoneally. Two challenge doses of 50AU HDM in PBS were given intranasally one day apart, then lungs were harvested at 6, 24 and 72 hours post challenge. Mice were analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, real time RT-PCR and affymetrix gene array analysis using full genome chips.

Human resistin alters lung mRNA expression from helminth-infected lungs.

Project description:Goal: To examine the effects of human resistin during helminth infection. Methodology: To examine the function of human resistin (hResistin), we utilized transgenic mice expressing the human resistin gene along with its entire regulatory region (hRetnTg+). Following infection with the helminth Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, whole lung RNA was sequenced in hRetnTg+ mice, control hRetnTg- and naïve mice. Conclusion: In hRetnTg+ mice, many genes involved in inflammation and the immune system, specifically toll-like receptor signaling and chemokines, are significantly upregulated, suggesting that human resistin promotes TLR signaling and inflammation during helminth infection.

Single CD4+ cells after Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection

Project description:We were interested in investigating the heterogeneity of CD4+ Th2 cells during infection response. In order to do so we injected Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) in recipient mice as this is known to elicit a Type 2 response. Mice were subcutaneously injected with Nb larvae and single CD4+ cells were isolated from mediastinal lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes, and lungs 5 days after infection.

Th2 responses are primed by skin dendritic cells with distinct transcriptional profiles

Project description:Dendritic cell subsets purified from skin-draining lymph nodes of C57BL/6J mice following intradermal injection of non-viable Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) or topical application of Dibutyl Phthalate-FITC. Results provide insight into the genetic programme induced in DC exposed to Th2 stimuli.

Th2 single-cell heterogeneity and clonal interorgan distribution in helminth-infected mice

Project description:Th2 cells provide effector functions in type 2 immune responses to helminths and allergens. Despite substantial knowledge about molecular mechanisms of Th2 cell differentiation, there is little information on Th2 cell heterogeneity and clonal distribution between organs mainly due to technical limitations. To address this issue, we performed combined single-cell transcriptome and TCR clonotype analysis on murine Th2 cells in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and lung after infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) as a model of human hookworm infection. We identified strong organ-specific expression profiles, but also found populations with conserved effector or migration signatures. A substantial MLN subpopulation with an interferon response signature suggests a role for interferon-signaling in Th2 cell differentiation or diversification. RNA-inferred developmental directions further implied proliferation as a hub for differentiation decisions. Although the TCR repertoire appeared to be highly heterogeneous, we identified expanded Th2 clones and CDR3 motifs. Clonal relatedness between distant organs confirmed the effective exchange of Th2 effector cells. However, locally expanded clones dominated the response, as the most expanded clones in MLN and lung did not overlap. This new insight in Th2 cell subsets and clonal relatedness in distant organs demonstrates their heterogeneity and suggests that they serve distinct effector functions.

Transcription profiling of lungs from SCID and wild type mice infected with L3 stage infectious Nippostrongylus brasiliensis to examine the innate immune response to helminth infection in the lung.

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to examine the innate immune response to helminth infection in the lung. Hookworms (like many other helminths) use an obligate migration pathway through the lung. Their infection has been characterized in the gut in detail, but early immune responses in the lung have not been fully characterized. Experiment Overall Design: SCID mice were used to examine the innate immune response. SCID mice have no functional B or T cells but a fully functional innate immune system. SCID and WT mice were infected with 500 L3 stage infectious Nippostrongylus brasiliensis SC and their lungs were removed at days 2,3,4,8 and 12 post infection.
