Project description:Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is a ubiquitous skin commensal bacterium that is generally well tolerated by the immune system. Different strain-types of C. acnes have been reported to be enriched on patients with acne. To understand if these strain-types contribute to skin inflammation, we generated a library of over 200 C. acnes isolates from skin swabs of healthy and acne subjects and assessed their strain-level identity and inflammatory potential. Phylotype II K-type strains were more frequent on healthy and acne non-lesional skin compared to lesional. Phylotype IA-1 C-type strains were dominant on acne lesional skin but absent from healthy. Measurement of host cytokine responses from C. acnes supernatant revealed neither strain-type nor skin-type association predicted inflammatory potential. However, differential proinflammatory responses were induced from identical strain-types, but these differences were not attributable to protease, short chain fatty acid or porphyrin production. Instead, whole genome sequencing revealed the presence of a linear plasmid in high inflammatory strain-types. Intradermal injection of C. acnes in mouse skin revealed a plasmid-associated inflammatory response in dermal fibroblasts, revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing. We conclude that C. acnes strain-type is not sufficient to predict inflammation but other virulence factors including a plasmid may contribute to disease.

Project description:Innate immune defense against deep tissue infection by Staphylococcus aureus is orchestrated by fibroblasts that become antimicrobial when triggered to differentiate into adipocytes. However, the role of this process in non-infectious human diseases is unknown. To investigate the potential role of adipogenesis by dermal fibroblasts in acne, a disorder triggered by Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on human acne lesions and mouse skin challenged by C. acnes. A transcriptome consistent with adipogenesis was observed within specific fibroblast subsets from human acne and mouse skin lesions infected with C. acnes. Perifollicular dermal preadipocytes in human acne and mouse skin lesions showed colocalization of PREF1, an early marker of adipogenesis, and cathelicidin (Camp), an antimicrobial peptide. This capacity of C. acnes to trigger production of cathelicidin in preadipocytes was dependent on TLR2. Treatment of wild-type mice with retinoic acid (RA) suppressed the capacity of C. acnes to form acne-like lesions, inhibited adipogenesis and enhanced cathelicidin expression in preadipocytes, but lesions were unresponsive in Camp-/- mice, despite the anti-adipogenic action of RA. Analysis of inflamed skin of acne patients after retinoid treatment also showed enhanced induction of cathelicidin, a previously unknown beneficial effect of retinoids in difficult-to-treat acne. Overall, these data provide evidence that adipogenic fibroblasts are a critical component of the pathogenesis of acne and represent a potential target for future therapy.

Project description:The composition of the prostate microbiome may influence the fate of the cells that may be relevant to prostate morbidity. Several independent studies have reported the presence of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes in diseased human prostate tissue. It is unclear if the bacterium is an infectious agent, part of a normal prostate microbiota or if it is derived from the skin and accidentally introduced, for instance during a prostate biopsy. Previous research with prostate cell culture and animal models has revealed the capability of P. acnes to establish a low-grade chronic inflammation. However, the fate of primary prostate cells exposed to P. acnes has not been investigated in molecular detail. Here, we investigated the impact of P. acnes on human primary prostate epithelial cells (PrEC). An initial analysis of the host cell response by microarray technology confirmed the inflammation-inducing capability of P. acnes but also showed the deregulation of genes involved in cell cycle, and more specifically in kinetochore and centromere functionality. In particular, we could show and confirm by qPCR that only viable P. acnes downregulated a master regulator of cell cycle progression, FOXM1, as well as its target genes. It was further shown by flow cytometry that P. acnes was indeed able to alter the cell cycle by increasing the number of PrEC cells in S-phase. In search for a molecular explanation we tested the hypothesis that a P.acnes produced berninamycin A-like thiopeptide, that is a structurally closely related to the known FOXM1 inhibitor siomycin A, is responsible for the effect on FOXM1 and the cell cycle. A knock-out mutant in P. acnes was created that lacked the gene encoding the berninamycin A peptide precursor; this mutant was unable to downregulate FOXM1, suggesting that a berninamycin A-like thiopeptide induces cell cycle alterations in PrEC cells. Interestingly, the gene cluster encoding this thiopeptide is restricted to a subtype of P. acnes that is relatively rare on human skin, but more often found in prostate tissue.

Project description:Proprionibacterium acnes is a Gram positive bacterium found ubiquitously on human skin, where it is typically considered to assume a commensal relationship with its host. However, it is also closely associated with the skin condition acne vulgaris. More controversially, it has a postulated involvement in infections of implanted prosthetic devices and has been isolated from malignant prostate tissues. The role of P. acnes in these pathologies remains undetermined, although both bacterial and host factors are implicated. By microarray analysis, we have identified fundamental differences in the global transcriptional profiles of keratinocyte and prostate cells to P. acnes infection. Notably, P. acnes infection of the keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT, elicited a robust, but acute inflammatory response. By contrast, the inflammatory response of the prostate cell line, RWPE1, was delayed and persisted for longer times. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy revealed higher numbers of internalized P. acnes bacteria in RWPE1 cells, which could still be detected intracellularly three weeks post infection. This contrasted with HaCaT cells, which P. acnes largely failed to invade. Moreover, P. acnes induced a delayed, sustained activation of NFM-NM-:B in RWPE1 cells, which was absent in HaCaT cells. Further characterization of the host-cell response to infection revealed that the intermediate filament protein, vimentin, was a key determinant of P. acnes invasion, persistence and inflammatory profile in RWPE1 cells. siRNA mediated knock down of vimentin in RWPE1 cells attenuated bacterial invasion and the inflammatory response to infection; similarly, overexpression of vimentin in HaCaT cells increased bacterial invasion. We conclude that vimentin-dependent host-tissue tropism, in part, determines P. acnes invasion and inflammatory capacity. This could contribute to P. acnes pathology at non-skin infection sites. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations. In order to compensate specific effects of the dyes and to ensure statistically relevant data analysis, a color-swap dye-reversal was performed.

Project description:Skin conventional dendritic cells (cDC) exist as two distinct subsets, cDC1 and cDC2, which maintain the balance of immunity to pathogens and tolerance to self and microbiota. Here we examined the roles of dermal cDC1 and cDC2 during bacterial infection, notably Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). cDC1, but not cDC2, regulated the magnitude of the immune response to P. acnes in the murine dermis by controlling neutrophil recruitment to the inflamed site and survival and function therein. Single-cell mRNA sequencing revealed that this regulation relied on secretion of the cytokine VEGFα by a minor subset of activated EpCAM+CD59+Ly6D+ cDC1. Neutrophil recruitment by dermal cDC1 was also observed during S. aureus, BCG or E. coli infection, as well as in a model of bacterial insult in human skin. Thus, skin cDC1 are essential regulators of the innate response in cutaneous immunity, with roles beyond classical antigen presentation.

Project description:<p>Studies have emphasized the importance of disease-associated microorganisms in perturbed communities, however, the protective roles of commensals are largely under recognized and poorly understood. Using acne as a model disease, we investigated the determinants of the overall virulence property of the skin microbiota when disease- and health-associated organisms coexist in the community. By ultra-deep metagenomic shotgun sequencing, we revealed higher relative abundances of propionibacteria and Propionibacterium acnes phage in healthy skin. In acne patients, the microbiome composition at the species level and at P. acnes strain level was more diverse than in healthy individuals, with enriched virulence-associated factors and reduced abundance of metabolic synthesis genes. Based on the abundance profiles of the metagenomic elements, we constructed a quantitative prediction model, which classified the clinical states of the host skin with high accuracy in both our study cohort (85%) and an independent sample set (86%). Our results suggest that the balance between metagenomic elements, not the mere presence of disease-associated strains, shapes the overall virulence property of the skin microbiota. This study provides new insights into the microbial mechanism of acne pathogenesis and suggests probiotic and phage therapies as potential acne treatments to modulate the skin microbiota and to maintain skin health.</p>
