Dragotcytosis: Elucidation of the Mechanism for Cryptococcus neoformans Macrophage-to-Macrophage Transfer

Project description:Abstract: Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic yeast capable of a unique and intriguing form of cell-to-cell transfer between macrophage cells. The mechanism for cell-to-cell transfer is not understood. Here we imaged macrophages with CellTracker Green CMFDA-labeled cytosol to ascertain whether cytosol was shared between donor and acceptor macrophages. Analysis of several transfer events detected no transfer of cytosol from donor to acceptor macrophages. However, blocking Fc and complement receptors resulted in a major diminution of cell-to-cell transfer events. The timing cell-to-cell transfer (11.17 min) closely approximated the sum of phagocytosis (4.18 min) and exocytosis (6.71 min) times. We propose that macrophage cell-to-cell transfer represents a non-lytic exocytosis event followed by phagocytosis into a macrophage that is in close proximity and name this process Dragotcytosis (Dragot is a Greek surname meaning ‘Sentinel’) as it represents sharing of a microbe between two sentinel cells of the innate immune system. Microarrays were used to assess whether incubation of Bone Marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with receptor blocking antibodies had an effect on their transcriptional profiles.

Cryptococcus neoformans proteins during fungal-macrophage interaction

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans interactions with murine macrophages are critical for disease. In this project we analyzed fungal proteins which were co-purified with murine host proteins after interaction. H99 C. neoformans was opsonized with mAb 18B7 and addedd to murine macrophages. Then murine cells were lysed and cell extracts submitted to proteomics.

Ribosome profiling of Cryptococcus neoformans H99

Project description:We measured protein translation (by ribosome profiling) and RNA levels (by polyA-enriched RNA-seq) in Cryptococcus neoformans strain H99 and Cryptococcus neoformans strain JEC21. This is the first transcriptome-wide map of translation in this species complex.

Characterization of Alveolar macrophage subsets infected by Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:We examined four subsets of alveolar macrophages differentiated by CXCL2 expression and FLT3 fate mapping induced by Cryptococcus neoformans infection. These four subpopulations have distinct mRNA expression pattern indicating the heterogenity within alveolar macrophages.

Dragotcytosis: Elucidation of the Mechanism for Cryptococcus neoformans Macrophage-to-Macrophage Transfer.

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic yeast capable of a unique and intriguing form of cell-to-cell transfer between macrophage cells. The mechanism for cell-to-cell transfer is not understood. In this study, we imaged mouse macrophages with CellTracker Green 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate-labeled cytosol to ascertain whether cytosol was shared between donor and acceptor macrophages. Analysis of several transfer events detected no transfer of cytosol from donor-to-acceptor mouse macrophages. However, blocking Fc and complement receptors resulted in a major diminution of cell-to-cell transfer events. The timing of cell-to-cell transfer (11.17 min) closely approximated the sum of phagocytosis (4.18 min) and exocytosis (6.71 min) times. We propose that macrophage cell-to-cell transfer represents a nonlytic exocytosis event, followed by phagocytosis into a macrophage that is in close proximity, and name this process Dragotcytosis ("Dragot" is a Greek surname meaning "sentinel"), as it represents sharing of a microbe between two sentinel cells of the innate immune system.

Arginase 1 expression by macrophages promotes Cryptococcus neoformans proliferation and invasion into brain microvascular endothelial cells.

Project description:Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis caused by C. neoformans infection is the most common cause of death in HIV/AIDS patients. Macrophages are recognized as key players in promoting the growth, proliferation, and dissemination of Cryptococcus. However, macrophage-derived factors that underlie these pathogenic responses remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the permissive factors of macrophages that support the pathogenicity of Cryptococcus infection. We generated mRNA expression profiles of alveolar macrophage isolated from BALB/c mice intranasally treated with PBS or infected with C. neoformans H99 at 7 and 14 days postinfection and performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis to investigate the transcriptomic changes of macrophages during infection. Alveolar macrophages isolated from C. neoformans-infected mice showed dynamic gene expression patterns which were altered from a protective M1-like cells to a pathogenic M2-like phenotype. Interestingly, Arg1, encoded for enzyme arginase-1, was a predominant up-regulated gene observed in alveolar macrophages after infection at 14 days and the activation of macrophage arginase activity is required for the development of M2 macrophages that supports cryptococcal growth, proliferation, and dissemination.

Light-regulated genes in Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Light is a universal environmental signal perceived by many organisms, including the fungi in which light regulates both common and unique biological processes depending on the species. We conducted a whole-genome microarray analysis on the basidiomycete fungus Cryptococcus neoformans to identify light-regulated genes.
