Santos2018 - Pneumococcal infection in alveoli

ABSTRACT: Multiscale mathematical model of pneumococcal alveolar infection. This model analyses the role of cellular and molecular interactions during the first 10 h after alveolar invasion of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. By “multi-level” we mean that we simulated the interplay between different temporal and spatial scales in a single computational model. In this instance, we included the intracellular scale of processes driving lung epithelial cell activation together with the scale of cell-to-cell interactions between bacteria and alveolar macrophages at the alveolar tissue. The model combines agent-based modelling and ODE modelling strategies. The original article of the article can be found in https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2018.00159.

Bacterial Adherence and Dwelling Probability: Two Drivers of Early Alveolar Infection by <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Identified in Multi-Level Mathematical Modeling.

Santos Guido G Lai Xin X Eberhardt Martin M Vera Julio J

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology 20180515

Pneumococcal infection is the most frequent cause of pneumonia, and one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The population groups at high risk of death from bacterial pneumonia are infants, elderly and immunosuppressed people. These groups are more vulnerable because they have immature or impaired immune systems, the efficacy of their response to vaccines is lower, and antibiotic treatment often does not take place until the inflammatory response triggered is already overwhelming. The immu ...[more]

Identification of Proteins in Streptococcus pneumoniae extracellular vesicles (pEVs)

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently garnered attention for their participation in host-microbe interactions in Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. However, the effect of pEVs on the disruption of alveolar epithelial barrier remain poorly understood. Our studies focus on EVs produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pEVs), and reveal that pEVs are internalized by alveolar epithelial cells. In vitro, pEVs induce autophagy activation in a dosage-dependent manner and decrease the alveolar epithelial barrier’s trans-epithelium electrical resistance (TEER). In addition, pEV-containing bacterial peotein serine/threonine-protein kinase StkP may act as an activator for Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced autophagy activation. When administered systemically in mice, Streptococcus pneumoniae wild type strain induced acute lung injury, the deletion of stkP deletion strain attenuated this injury. Taken together, pEVs cargos emerge as critical contributors to tissue damage in mammalian hosts.

CD11b restricts alveolar macrophage activation during pneumococcal pneumonia and prevents excessive lung inflammation

Project description:Bacterial lung infections are associated with strong infiltration of CD11b+ myeloid cells, which limit life-threatening disease, but also severely damage lung tissue. In a murine lung infection model with Streptococcus pneumoniae, we found intrinsic upregulation of CD11b on resident alveolar macrophages. Such CD11b expression was associated with transcriptomic and proteomic adaptations by alveolar macrophages, leading to the identification of specific molecules and pathways that depended on CD11b. In the absence of CD11b, the antimicrobial defense of alveolar macrophages was strongly reduced, and the production of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines was more pronounced. Moreover, CD11b expression limited the infection and prevented excessive alveolar damage. In conclusion, our study provides detailed molecular insights into the alveolar macrophage-specific immune response to Streptococcus pneumoniae lung infection and reveals profound CD11b-dependent alterations that are critical for effective antimicrobial immunity, neutrophil recruitment, and prevention of alveolar damage.

Transcriptome analysis of lung epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts from various developmental stages (E18.5, P0.5, P2, P7, P28, and P56)

Project description:In the alveoli, lung fibroblasts are in close contact with alveolar epithelial cells type 2, and are considered to support alveolar epithelial cells, forming an alveolar stem cell niche. However, what fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions occur during the alveolar maturation stage remains unclear. To understand the lung fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions, we performed time-course 3´SAGE-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

Reprogrammed alveolar macrophages after pneumonia recovery

Project description:Community-acquired pneumonia is a widespread disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Alveolar macrophages are tissue-resident lung cells that play a crucial role in innate immunity against bacteria causing pneumonia. We hypothesized that alveolar macrophages display adaptive characteristics after resolution of bacterial pneumonia. We studied mice one to six months after self-limiting lung infection due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia. Among the myeloid cells recovered from the lung, only alveolar macrophages showed long-term modifications of their surface marker phenotype. The remodeling of alveolar macrophages was: (i) long-lasting (still observed 6 months post infection), (ii) regionally localized (only observed in the affected lobe after lobar pneumonia), and (iii) associated with a macrophage-dependent enhanced lung protection to another pneumococcal serotype. Metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling revealed that alveolar macrophages of mice which recovered from pneumonia had new baseline activities and altered responses to infection. Thus, the enhanced lung protection after mild and self-limiting respiratory infection includes a profound remodeling of alveolar macrophages that is long-lasting, compartmentalized, and manifest across surface receptors, metabolites, and both resting and stimulated transcriptomes. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression for mouse alveolar macrophages sorted from lungs that were naïve or infected more than a month previously, at rest and during an acute (4-hour) infection.

Acquisition of alveolar fate and differentiation competence by human fetal lung epithelial progenitor cells

Project description:Our data show that Wnt and FGF signalling, and the downstream transcription factors NKX2.1 and TFAP2C, promote human alveolar or airway fate respectively. Moreover, we have functionally validated cell-cell interactions in human lung alveolar patterning. We show that Wnt signalling from differentiating fibroblasts promotes alveolar type 2 cell identity, whereas myofibroblasts secrete the Wnt inhibitor, NOTUM, providing spatial patterning. Our organoid system recapitulates key aspects of human lung development allowing mechanistic experiments to determine the underpinning molecular regulation.

Transcriptional responses of K. pneumoniae, S. maltophilia, P.aeruginosa, and B. thailandensis exposed to lung surfactant

Project description:The interactions between Gram-negative respiratory pathogens and the host environment at the site of infection largely unknown. Pulmonary surfactant serves as an initial point of contact for inhaled bacteria entering the lung and is thought to contain molecular cues that aid colonization and pathogenesis. To gain insight into this ecological transition, we characterized the transcriptional responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Burkholderia thailandensis E264, Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279A exposed to purified pulmonary surfactant (Survanta) through microarrays. This study provides novel insight into the interactions occurring between Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens and the host at an important infection site, and demonstrates the utility of purified lung surfactant preparations for dissecting host-lung pathogen interactions in vitro. The goal of this study was to compare the transcriptional responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Burkholderia thailandensis E264, Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279A exposed to pulmonary surfactant using a custom affymetrix chip designed for their genomes.

Smith2011 - Three Stage Innate Immune Response to a Pneumococcal Lung Infection

Project description:Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mathematical modeling to investigate the coordination of immune responses and the effects of initial inoculum on outcome. To evaluate the contributions of individual components, we systematically build a mathematical model from three subsystems that describe the succession of defensive cells in the lung: resident alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The alveolar macrophage response, which can be modeled by a single differential equation, can by itself rapidly clear small initial numbers of pneumococci. Extending the model to include the neutrophil response required additional equations for recruitment cytokines and host cell status and damage. With these dynamics, two outcomes can be predicted: bacterial clearance or sustained bacterial growth. Finally, a model including monocyte-derived macrophage recruitment by neutrophils suggests that sustained bacterial growth is possible even in their presence. Our model quantifies the contributions of cytotoxicity and immune-mediated damage in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

PCR array of inflammatory cytokines and receptors in mouse lungs with NF-kappaB RelA mutant in alveolar epithelial cells during pneumococcal pneumonia

Project description:A murine model of RelA mutated throughout the alveolar epithelium was generated. Mice were anesthetized and intratracheally instilled with 106 CFU of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 into the left lung lobe. Mice were euthanized after 15 hours after instillation, and left lung lobes were collected to isolate RNA. We used SABioscience Mouse Inflammatory Cytokines and Receptors PCR Array to evaluate whether the expressions of lung cytokines and receptors during pneumococcal pneumonia are dependent on alveolar epithelial NF-M-NM-:B RelA or not. qPCR gene expression profiling. RNA were collected from six different mouse lungs in each genotype (wild-type and alveolar epithelial RelA mutant). Equal amount of RNA (200ng) was pooled from six different mouse lungs, and 1M-NM-<g of total RNA (1.2M-NM-<g) was used to the PCR array.

Time-resolved dual RNA-seq reveals extensive rewiring of lung epithelial and pneumococcal transcriptomes during early infection

Project description:BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae, the pneumococcus, is the main etiological agent of pneumonia. Pneumococcal infection is initiated by bacterial adherence to lung epithelial cells. The exact transcriptional changes occurring in both host and microbe during infection are unknown. Here, we developed a time-resolved infection model of human lung alveolar epithelial cells by S. pneumoniae and assess the resulting transcriptome changes in both organisms simultaneously by using dual RNA-seq. RESULTS: Functional analysis of the time-resolved dual RNA-seq data identifies several features of pneumococcal infection. For instance, we show that the glutathione-dependent reactive oxygen detoxification pathway in epithelial cells is activated by reactive oxygen species produced by S. pneumoniae. Addition of the antioxidant resveratrol during infection abates this response. At the same time, pneumococci activate the competence regulon during co-incubation with lung epithelial cells. By comparing transcriptional changes between wild-type encapsulated and mutant unencapsulated pneumococci, we demonstrate that adherent pneumococci, but not free-floating bacteria, repress innate immune responses in epithelial cells including expression of the chemokine IL-8 and the production of antimicrobial peptides. We also show that pneumococci activate several sugar transporters in response to adherence to epithelial cells and demonstrate that this activation depends on host-derived mucins. CONCLUSIONS: We provide a dual-transcriptomics overview of early pneumococcal infection in a time-resolved manner, providing new insights into host-microbe interactions. To allow easy access to the data by the community, a web-based platform was developed ( http://dualrnaseq.molgenrug.nl ). Further database exploration may expand our understanding of epithelial-pneumococcal interaction, leading to novel antimicrobial strategies.
