Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death due to a single infectious agent and is considered a global threat killing over 4,300 people every day. Upon infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) deposits in the alveoli and encounters the lung mucosa or alveolar lining fluid (ALF), whose primary function is to keep the lung’s health intact, dictating host-cell interactions. Age-associated changes to innate soluble components in the ALF lead to increased susceptibility of the elderly population to respiratory infectious diseases such as TB. We previously determined that increased M.tb replication in human macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells (ATs) is mediated by age-associated changes in human ALF. In this study, we determine the transcriptional profile of M.tb when exposed to healthy human ALF from adult (A-ALF) or elderly (E-ALF) individuals prior and during intracellular replication in ATs, using A549 cells as a model. Prior to infection, exposure of M.tb to E-ALF upregulates several genes associated with the ESX-4 secretion system as well as immunomodulatory proteins linked to the ESX-5 secretion system. It additionally increases the expression of genes related to phospholipases, phosphatases, and proteases, which are important virulence factors in the establishment of M.tb infection. Importantly, we present the first transcriptomic analysis of the impact of the elderly lung mucosa on M.tb pathogenesis during intracellular replication in ATs. Interestingly, exposure to E-ALF altered expression of key genes related to the ESX-5 secretion system during infection. Additionally, compared to the A-ALF group, there was enhanced expression of genes associated with PDIMs biosynthesis and translocation to the cell surface. Lastly, E-ALF-exposed M.tb exhibits upregulation of genes linked to ROS defense mechanisms during ATs infection. Overall, these findings demonstrate how altered ALF functions in old age can impact the M.tb metabolic status, enabling greater adaptation and increased survival in the host cells.

Project description:Superbugs such as drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (DR-M.tb) poses a serious global health threat. Upon infection, M.tb reaches the alveolar space and comes in close contact with soluble components of the human alveolar lining fluid (ALF) for an uncertain period of time prior to and following its encounter with alveolar compartment cells. Homeostatic ALF hydrolases, which main function is maintaining lung health, modify the M.tb cell envelope, driving M.tb-host cell interactions. Still, the contribution of human ALF to M.tb adaptation to the host during infection is poorly understood. Here, we exposed 4 M.tb strains (H37Rv, HN878, CDC1551, W-7642) with different levels of virulence, transmissibility, and drug resistance to human ALF for shorter (15 min) and longer (12 h) periods of time. RNA sequencing was performed to determine the strains’ transcriptional profiles in response to ALF exposure. Gene expression analysis showed a clear temporal and strain-specific adaptation to human ALF. When comparing ALF-exposed vs. unexposed bacteria for each M.tb strain, differential expression (DE) analysis revealed a total of 397 DE genes associated with lipid metabolism, cell envelope and processes, intermediary metabolism and respiration, and regulatory proteins, among others. Most DE was detected at 12 h post-ALF exposure, with DR-M.tb strain W-7642 having the highest number of DE genes. Interestingly, genes from the KstR2 regulon, which controls the degradation of cholesterol C and D rings, were significantly upregulated early in all strains post-ALF exposure. These results indicate that M.tb-ALF contact (15 min to 12 h prior to M.tb recognition by host cells in the alveolar space) drives global metabolic and physiologic changes in M.tb during the initial stages of the infection, with potential implications in infection outcome.

Project description:Within the human lung, interplay between alveolar epithelial cells and resident macrophages shape lung development and function in both health and disease. To study these processes, we devised a strategy for co-culturing hPSC-derived alveolar epithelial organoids and induced macrophages to form functional environment, which we name alveolar assembloids (AlvAssemb). By scRNAseq and functional analysis of AlvAssemb, we identified alveolar type 2-like cells that produced GM-CSF, a response associated with tissue adaptation of macrophages, and that resident alveolar macrophage-like cells secreted interleukin-1β and interleukin-6, a core immune response function, and expressed genes required for surfactant metabolism. Remarkably, in response to alveolar epithelial injury, we found that macrophage-like cells within AlvAssemb efficiently eliminated damaged cells and absorbed oxidized lipids. Moreover, in response to lipopolysaccharide exposure and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, we found that core features of the human respiratory defense response were replicated in AlvAssemb. These findings support that AlvAssemb could serve as a valuable platform to investigate human lung development and pathology.

Project description:Different approaches of skeletal muscle cell regeneration originated from progenitor cells are extensively studied under the strategies of muscle tissue pathologies treatment. Recently it was discovered that anatomically localized alveolar mucosa multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (AMC) are characterized by myogenic potential and high feasibility for muscle tissue recovery and regeneration. Although the resulting multinuclear myotubes are featured by expressing skeletal muscle specific markers (skeletal myosin, actin, myogenin and MyoD1) the exact molecular mechanism controlling differentiation of AMC in myogenic direction is still unclear and poorly scrutinized. In this research we used combination of large-scale transcriptome analysis and bioinformatics approach to appreciate molecular pathways and crucial nodes responsible for myogenic differentiation.

Project description:The disruption of the mucosal barrier of the digestive tract is a common pathological change in the elderly, which often causes inflammatory bowel disease among old people.Given that microRNA (miRNA) molecules are dysregulated in many diseases, the miRNA expression in young and old normal distal colon mucosa in mice was determined by high-throughput analysis. Three 2-month-old mice and 3 24-month-old were enrolled in this study. We used sequencing analysis to identify miRNA expression in the distal colon mucosa.
