Ribosomal Oxygenase 2 Constrains A Latent Anthelmintic Pathway In Intestinal Epithelial Cells

ABSTRACT: Expulsion of parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes requires diverse effector mechanisms coordinated by a Th2-type response. The evolutionarily conserved JmjC protein ribosomal oxygenase 2 (Riox2, formerly Mina) has been shown to repress IL4, a key Th2 cytokine, suggesting Riox2 may negatively regulate parasite expulsion. Here we report that expulsion of parasitic nematodes was indeed accelerated in Riox2 deficient mice. Unexpectedly, this was associated not with an elevated Th2 but rather an impaired Th1-type response. Further, in vitro T cell differentiation, reciprocal bone marrow chimera and conditional KO experiments demonstrated that retarded parasite expulsion and a normal Th1-type response both required Riox2 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Gene profiling experiments in IECs revealed anti-microbial α-defensin peptides to be the major target of Riox2-dependent repression. In vitro exposure to recombinant α-defensin peptides caused cytotoxic damage to whipworms. These results identify a latent IEC-intrinsic anthelmintic pathway actively constrained by Riox2 and point to α-defensins as important effectors that together with Riox2 would be attractive therapeutic targets for the control of nematode infection.

The gut microbiota contributes to changes in the host immune response induced by Trichinella spiralis

Project description:The gut microbiota plays an important role in parasite-host interactions and the induction of immune defense responses. Trichinella spiralis is an important zoonotic parasite that can directly or indirectly interact with the host in the gut. Changes in the gut microbiota following infection with T. spiralis and the role of the gut microbiota in host immune defense against T. spiralis infection were investigated in our study. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis revealed that infection with T. spiralis can reduce the diversity of the gut microbiota and alter the structure of the gut microbiota during early infection, which was restored when the worm left the gut. Antibiotic treatment (ABX) and fecal bacterial transplantation (FMT) were used to investigate the role of the gut microbiota in the host expulsion response during infection with T. spiralis. We found that ABX mice had a higher burden of parasites, and the burden of parasites decreased after fecal bacterial transplantation. The results of flow cytometry and qPCR revealed that the disturbance of the gut microbiota affects the proportion of CD4+ T cells and the production of IL-4, which weakens Th2 responses and makes expulsion difficult. In addition, as the inflammatory response decreased with the change of the microbiota, the Th1 response also decreased. The metabolomic results were in good agreement with these findings, as the levels of inflammatory metabolites such as ceramides were reduced in the ABX group. In general, T. spiralis infection can cause changes in the gut microbiota, and the presence or absence of microbes may also weaken intestinal inflammation and the expulsion of T. spiralis by affecting the immune response of the host.

Transcription profiling of Strongyloides ratti free-living males and females and parastic and free-living females

Project description:This experiment exploits the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti, which is a parasitic nematode of brown rats that exhibits three adult stages within its life-cycle - parasitic females, freeliving females and free-living males. We use a cDNA microarray to examine patterns of (i) gender-biased gene expression by contrasting free-living females against free-living males, and (ii) parasitic-biased expression by contrasting parasitic females against free-living females. Of the 3688 distinct transcripts represented on our array, 20% exhibited male-biased expression 19% exhibit female-biased expression, 11% exhibit parasitic-biased expression and 8% exhibit free-living-biased expression. Among the top responding genes, an orthologue of major sperm protein is upregulated in males, distinct aspartic protease orthologues are upregulated in either parasitic or in free-living females, and orthologues of hsp-17 chaperone are upregulated in parasitic females. Upon a global analysis of gene expression, we find that female-biased expression is associated with genes involved in reproductive processes and larval development, that male-biased expression is associated with genes involved in metabolism, and that free-living biased expression is associated with genes involved in regulation of body fluids and response to external stimulus. The association of gene ontology with parasite-biased expression is less clear. Our results provide an initial gene expression analysis of gender- and parasite-biased expression in S. ratti, may be more generally applicable to other parasitic nematodes, and may help to refine the search for novel drug or vaccine targets against parasitic nematodes.

Single cell RNASeq analysis of memory TH2 cell response to an intestianl nematode

Project description:Intestinal parasitic nematodes, affecting a quarter of the world’s population, typically elicit prominent effector Th2-driven host immune responses. However, a more detailed understanding of nematode-induced memory Th2 responses remains scarce. We investigated the activation of peritoneal memory Th2 cells and the mechanisms driving early recall responses to the enteric nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus in mice. We show memory Th2 cells with distinct transcriptional profiles to persist systemically in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues following cure of infection. Moreover, peritoneal memory Th2 cells display strong cytokine production, upregulate costimulatory marker Ox40 (CD134) and IL-5 production in a parasite-specific manner as early as 3 days following challenge infection. This effect is paralleled by an influx of Ox40L+ dendritic cells (DC) and eosinophils, both appearing exclusively in the peritoneum of reinfected mice. Finally, we show that peritoneal mesothelial cells (PeM) significantly downregulate their expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in response to a secondary infection, pointing towards an involvement in immune cell efflux. Thus, our data indicate a pivotal role of the peritoneum for memory Th2 responses and a role for PeM cells in immune cell recruitment, activation and efflux during recall responses to a strictly intestinal pathogen.

Th1/Th2 cross-regulation controls early Leishmania infection in the skin by modulating the size of the permissive monocytic host cell reservoir

Project description:The impact of T helper (Th) 1 versus Th2 immunity on intracellular infections is attributed to classical versus alternative activation of macrophages leading to resistance or susceptibility. However, observations in multiple infectious settings demonstrate deficiencies in mediators of Th1/Th2 immunity have paradoxical or no impact. We report that prior to influencing activation, Th1/Th2 immunity first controls the size of the permissive host cell reservoir. During early Leishmania infection of the skin, IFN-γ- or STAT6-mediated changes in phagocyte activation were counteracted by changes in IFN-γ-mediated recruitment of permissive CCR2+ monocytes. Monocytes were required for early parasite expansion and acquired an alternatively activated phenotype despite the Th1 dermal environment required for their recruitment. Surprisingly, STAT6 did not enhance intracellular parasite proliferation, but rather modulated the size and permissiveness of the monocytic host cell reservoir via regulation of IFN-γ and IL-10. These observations expand our understanding of the Th1/Th2 paradigm during infection.

Effect of cathepsin inhibitors in signals associated with Th1 and Th2 mediators by Dendritic Cells

Project description:Cathepsin inhibitors have been associated to induce changes in Th1/Th2 polarization; cathepsin B inhibitor CA074 has been reported to induce a Th1 polarization, whereas cathepsin L inhibitor CLIK148 has been reported to induce a Th2 polarization. In this study, we pre-treated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) with CA074Me or CLIK148, followed by stimulation with a known pro-Th1 inducer (CpG) and a known pro-Th2 inducer (TNF-alpha) and analyzed by microarrays the expression of genes acting as pro-Th1 or pro-Th2 mediators.

A molecular signature for IL-10-producing Th1 cells in protozoan parasitic diseases

Project description:Control of the intracellular parasites that cause malaria and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is dependent on the generation of pro-inflammatory, IFNÃŽÂ³+ Tbet+ CD4+ T (Th1) cells by infected hosts. Immunoregulatory IL-10 produced by Th1 cells serves to mitigate subsequent inflammation and related disease pathology. However, these IL-10-producing Th1 (Tr1) cells can also not only promote parasite persistence, but may impair immunity to re-infection and potential vaccine efficacy. Here, we identify molecular and phenotypic signatures that distinguish Th1 cells from Tr1 cells in both experimental VL, caused by infection of C57BL/6 mice with the human parasite Leishmania donovani, and in Plasmodium falciparum-infected humans participating in controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) studies. Such characterisations allow for the better understanding of Tr1 cell development and function in the context of these parasitic diseases, and for the identification of targets for immune modulation to improve anti-parasitic immunity.

Exposure to extracellular vesicles from Anisakis simplex induce changes in protein composition of human intestinal epithelial cell line (CACO-2) - parasite-host interaction overview

Project description:Anisakis simplex is one of the most prevalent parasitic nematodes (Nematoda) of marine organisms and is characterized by a complex life cycle. Humans can be accidental hosts for this parasitic species. Therefore, A. simplex was acknowledged as a biohazardous organism. The finding that nematodes can release extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are able to enter host cells, was the breakthrough discovery in parasite research. Although several approaches have been employed to study the biology of nematodes and their interactions with the host, the secretion of EVs by parasitic nematodes, as signal molecules, has been poorly studied. This led us to identify differentially regulated proteins (DRPs) between the proteome of a human intestinal epithelial cell line (CACO 2) exposed to EVs of A. simplex and the proteome of CACO 2 directly exposed to L3 larvae of A. simplex. In addition, we identified proteins present in EVs of A. simplex larvae and linked them to host proteins that they might regulate. To achieve this goal the shotgun proteomics method based on isobaric mass labeling (TMT) with a combination of nano high-performance liquid chromatography (nLC) coupled to an LTQ Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer was used.
