Project description:Typhoid fever, caused primarily by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), is a life-threatening systemic disease responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. 3-5% of individuals infected with S. Typhi become chronic carriers due to bacterial persistence in the gallbladder. We have demonstrated that Salmonella forms biofilms on gallstones to establish gallbladder carriage. However, an in-depth molecular understanding of chronic carriage in the gallbladder, from the perspective of both the pathogen and host, is poorly defined. To examine the dynamics of the gallbladder in response to Salmonella infection, we performed transcriptional profiling in the mouse gallbladder at early (7 day) and chronic (21 day) time points. RNA-Seq revealed a shift from a Th1 pro-inflammatory response at 7 days post infection (DPI) towards an anti-inflammatory Th2 response by 21 DPI, characterized by increased levels of immunoglobulins and the Th2 master transcriptional regulator, GATA3. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis predicted the upstream regulation of characteristic Th2 markers including IL-4 and Stat6. Immunohistochemistry and FACS analysis confirmed a significant increase in lymphocytes, including T and B cells, at 21 DPI in mice with gallstones. Interestingly, Salmonella-specific CD4 T-cells were ten-fold higher in the gallbladder of mice with gallstones at 21 DPI. We speculate that the biofilm state allows Salmonella to resist the initial onslaught of the Th1 inflammatory response, while yet undefined events influence a switch in the host immunity towards a more permissive Type 2 response, enabling the establishment of chronic infection.

Project description:Deciphering the genetic signatures of Salmonella Typhi gallbladder carriage
| PRJEB38255 | ENA
Project description:Background: Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A are the agents of enteric (typhoid) fever; both can establish chronic carriage in the gallbladder. Chronic Salmonella carriers are typically asymptomatic, intermittently shedding bacteria in the feces, and contributing to disease transmission. Detecting chronic carriers is of public health relevance in areas where enteric fever is endemic, but there are no routinely used methods for prospectively identifying those carrying Salmonella in their gallbladder. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we aimed to identify biomarkers of Salmonella carriage using metabolite profiling. We performed metabolite profiling on plasma from Nepali patients undergoing cholecystectomy with confirmed S. Typhi or S. Paratyphi A gallbladder carriage (and non-carriage controls) using two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS) and supervised pattern recognition modeling. We were able to significantly discriminate Salmonella carriage samples from non-carriage control samples. We were also able to detect differential signatures between S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A carriers. We additionally compared carriage metabolite profiles with profiles generated during acute infection; these data revealed substantial heterogeneity between metabolites associated with acute enteric fever and chronic carriage. Lastly, we found that Salmonella carriers could be significantly distinguished from non-carriage controls using only five metabolites, indicating the potential of these metabolites as diagnostic markers for detecting chronic Salmonella carriers. Conclusions/Significance: Our novel approach has highlighted the potential of using metabolomics to search for diagnostic markers of chronic Salmonella carriage. We suggest further epidemiological investigations of these potential biomarkers in alternative endemic enteric fever settings.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), a human-restricted pathogen, enters the host through the gut to cause typhoid fever. Recent calculations of the typhoid fever burden estimated that more than 20 million new typhoid fever cases occur in low and middle-income countries, resulting in 129,000-223,000 deaths yearly. Interestingly, upon the resolution of acute disease, 1%-5% of patients become asymptomatic chronic carriers of S. Typhi. Chronically infected hosts are not only critical reservoirs of infection that transmit the disease to naive individuals but are also predisposed to developing gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms involved in the early interactions between gallbladder epithelial cells and S. Typhi remain largely unknown. Based on our previous studies showing that very closely related S. Typhi strains elicit distinct innate immune responses, we hypothesized that host molecular pathways activated by S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients will differ. To test this hypothesis, we used a novel human organoid-derived polarized gallbladder monolayer (HODGM) model, and 13 S. Typhi strains derived from acutely (n=6) and chronically (n=7) infected patients. We found that S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients differentially regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and S6 transcription factors. This differential regulation impacts, at least in part, the cytokine signaling pathway involved in the production of TNF- and IL-6 and is likely to play a critical role in inducing chronic S. Typhi infection in the gallbladder.

Project description:Typhoid fever, caused primarily by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S Typhi), is a life-threatening systemic disease responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Three to 5% of individuals infected with S Typhi become chronic carriers due to bacterial persistence in the gallbladder. We have demonstrated that Salmonella forms biofilms on gallstones to establish gallbladder carriage. However, an in-depth molecular understanding of chronic carriage in the gallbladder, from the perspective of both the pathogen and host, is poorly defined. To examine the dynamics of the gallbladder in response to Salmonella infection, we performed transcriptional profiling in the mouse gallbladder at early (7?days) and chronic (21?days) time points. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) revealed a shift from a Th1 proinflammatory response at 7?days postinfection (dpi) toward an anti-inflammatory Th2 response by 21 dpi, characterized by increased levels of immunoglobulins and the Th2 master transcriptional regulator, GATA3. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis predicted the upstream regulation of characteristic Th2 markers, including interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Stat6. Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis confirmed a significant increase in lymphocytes, including T and B cells, at 21 dpi in mice with gallstones. Interestingly, the levels of Salmonella-specific CD4 T cells were 10-fold higher in the gallbladder of mice with gallstones at 21 dpi. We speculate that the biofilm state allows Salmonella to resist the initial onslaught of the Th1 inflammatory response, while yet undefined events influence a switch in the host immunity toward a more permissive type 2 response, enabling the establishment of chronic infection.IMPORTANCE The existence of chronic typhoid carriers has been in the public eye for over 100?years in part because of the publicity around Typhoid Mary. Additionally, it has been known for decades that the gallbladder is the main site of persistence and recently that gallstones play a key role. Despite this, very little is known about the physiological conditions that allow Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi to persist in the gallbladder. In this study, we analyze the transcriptional profile of the gallbladder in a mouse model of chronic carriage. We found a shift from an early proinflammatory immune response toward a later anti-inflammatory response, which could explain the stalemate that allows Salmonella persistence. Interestingly, we found a 10-fold increase in the number of Salmonella-specific T cells in mice with gallstones. This work moves us closer to understanding the mechanistic basis of chronic carriage, with a goal toward eradication of the disease.

Project description:We determined the global microRNA expression profiles of primary human gallbladder cells and genetically reprogrammed human gallbladder cells and compared with pancreatic beta cells to ascertain the degree of cellular transdifferentatiation of insulin-producing human gallbladder cells to become beta-like cells. First, we cultured patient-derived gallbladder cells and then we transduced these with beta cell transcription factors to reprogram gallbladder cells to become beta-like cells. We used a pan-islet surface monoclonal antibody to enrich for insulin-producing reprogrammed human gallbladder cells using FACS.

Project description:Secondary bacterial pneumonia following influenza infection is a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Upper respiratory tract pneumococcal carriage is important as both determinants of disease and population transmission. The immunological mechanisms that contain pneumococcal carriage are well-studied in mice but remain unclear in humans. Loss of this control of carriage following influenza infection is associated with secondary bacterial pneumonia during seasonal and pandemic outbreaks. We used a human type 6B pneumococcal challenge model to show that carriage acquisition induces early degranulation of resident neutrophils and recruitment of monocytes to the nose. Monocyte function associated with clearance of pneumococcal carriage. Prior nasal infection with live attenuated influenza virus induced inflammation, impaired innate function and altered genome-wide nasal gene responses to pneumococcal carriage. Levels of the cytokine IP-10 promoted by viral infection at the time of pneumococcal encounter was positively associated with bacterial density. These findings provide novel insights in nasal immunity to pneumococcus and viral-bacterial interactions during co-infection.
