Transcriptomics in whole-blood cells of Buruli ulcer patients identifies a signature of inflammation

Project description:Mycolactone, a lipid-like toxin, is the major virulence factor of Mycobacterium ulcerans, the etiological agent of Buruli ulcer. Its involvement in lesions development has been widely described in early stages of the disease, through its cytotoxic and immunosuppressive activities, but less is known about later stages. Here, we revisit the role of mycolactone in disease outcome and provide the first demonstration of the pro-inflammatory potential of this toxin. We found that the mycolactone-containing mycobacterial extracellular vesicles produced by M. ulcerans induced the production of IL-1β, a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, in a TLR2-dependent manner, targeting NLRP3/1 inflammasomes. We showed our data to be relevant in a physiological context. The in vivo injection of these mycolactone-containing vesicles induced a strong local inflammatory response and tissue damages, which were prevented by corticosteroids. Finally, several soluble pro-inflammatory factors, including IL-1β, were detected in infected tissues from mice and Buruli ulcer patients. Our results revisit Buruli ulcer pathophysiology by giving a new insight, thus paving the way for development of new therapeutic strategies, taking account the pro-inflammatory potential of mycolactone.

Genetic defects affecting the development of severe Buruli Ulcer

Project description:Buruli ulcer (BU) is a tropical infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. BU causes profound skin ulcerations and eventually bone infections. Life-long functional sequelae are observed in more than 20% of patients, most of whom are children. Several observations, in particular the large variability in the clinical severity of the disease after infection, suggested the role of human genetic factors in the development of BU. Here, we report two children with severe BU, born of consanguineous parents. The deep genetic exploration of this family led to the identification of a small deletion on chromosome 8 in both patients. The corresponding article is in press in PloS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Gene expression of ulcer-associated cell lineage

Project description:We applied RNA-seq analysis of total RNA isolated from laser capture microdissected intestinal epithelium. The analysis aimed at charactericing the gene expression seen in ulcer-associated cell lineage epithelial cells, and to contrast this with that of healthy control epithelium and epithelium from inflammatory bowel disease-patients with active inflammation.

Genome-wide analysis of long noncoding RNA expression profile in patients with Marjolin’s ulcer

Project description:Marjolin’s Ulcer is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy that typically ensues over a period of time in the post-burned lesions and scars or any other chronic wound. Marjolin’s Ulcer makes up 1.2% of all skin cancers, it is reported that 2% of squamous cell carcinoma and 0.03% of basal cell carcinoma originate in burn scars. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding (lncRNA) plays critical roles in a myriad of biological processes and human diseases,Since the roles of lncRNA in Marjolin’s Ulcer remain unknown,they were investigated in the study.Our findings indicate that the expression profiles of lncRNAs has changed in Marjolin’s Ulcer as compared with normal skin and para-cancerous scar, and may provide novel insight into the molecular mechanism underlying the disease and potential novel diagnostic or therapeutic targets for Marjolin’s Ulcer.

Effects of cannabidiol on the inflammation-stimulated keratinocytes

Project description:Cannabidiol (CBD) oral spray on murine oral ulcer significantly inhibited inflammation, relieved pain and accelerated healing process. To gain insight into transcriptional regulation of CBD on cells related to healing progress of oral ulcer, we performed RNA-Seq on the immortalized human oral keratinocyte HOK-16B cell lines stimulated with LPS and ATP, after 10μM CBD or vehicle excipient pretreatment.

RNA-seq strategy to study Mycobacterium ulcerans adaptation within our original mouse model of spontaneous healing.

Project description:Mycobacterium ulcerans is the causal agent of Buruli ulcer, a chronic infectious disease and the third most common mycobacterial disease worldwide. Without early treatment, M. ulcerans provokes massive skin ulcers, caused by the mycolactone toxin, its main virulence factor. However, spontaneous healing may occur in Buruli ulcer patients several months or years after the disease onset. We have shown, in an original mouse model, that bacterial load remains high and viable in spontaneously healed tissues, suggesting that M. ulcerans switches to low levels of mycolactone production, adapting its strategy to survive in such a hostile environment. We investigated the regulation of mycolactone production, by using an RNA-seq strategy to study bacterial adaptation within our original mouse model of spontaneous healing. Pathway analysis and characterization of the tissue environment showed that the bacillus adapted to its new environment by modifying its metabolic activity and switching nutrient sources. Thus, M. ulcerans ensures its survival in healing tissues by reducing its secondary metabolism, leading to an inhibition of mycolactone synthesis and changes in cell wall composition. These findings shed new light on mycolactone regulation and pave the way for new therapeutic strategies.
