Project description:Neutrophil lysis after phagocytosis is a process potentially important in the pathogenesis of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. The mechanism for this process is not currently known. Therefore, to better understand CA-MRSA virulence we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to investigate the mechanism underlying enhanced PMN lysis that occurs after phagocytosis of CA-MRSA. In order to examine the effect of S. aureus on the neutrophil transcriptome and to elucidate any possible differences in this effect between hospital- and community-associated S. aureus, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with hospital- and community-associated S. aureus. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Control and S. aureus-exposed PMNs were incubated at 37C for 1, 2, 3 or 6 hours.

Project description:We identified 18 patients with the distinct clinical phenotype of disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, viral infections, especially with human papillomaviruses, and fungal infections, primarily histoplasmosis and molds. This syndrome typically had its onset in adulthood and was characterized by profound circulating monocytopenia, B lymphocytopenia, and NK lymphocytopenia. T lymphocytes were variably affected. Despite these peripheral cytopenias, all patients had macrophages and plasma cells at sites of inflammation and normal immunoglobulin levels. This novel clinical syndrome links mycobacterial, viral, and fungal susceptibility with malignancy and is transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern. In order to elucidate the possible genetic defect that results in this novel clinical syndrome, we performed microarray expression analysis on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) isolated from affected patients and healthy controls. Keywords: healthy donor vs affected patient Gene expression data for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) isolated from the blood of affected patients and healthy donors. There are two separate data sets: For the first data set, there are 7 healthy controls and 3 affected patients [Samples GSM400913-GSM400922]. For the second data set, there are 5 healthy controls and 5 affected patients [GSM400923-GSM400932].

Project description:We demonstrated recently that both constitutive and FAS-triggered apoptosis of human neutrophils are profoundly impaired by Francisella tularensis, but how this is achieved is largely unknown. To test the hypothesis that changes in neutrophil gene expression contribute to this phenotype, we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to identify differentially regulated genes in cells infected with F. tularensis strain LVS compared with uninfected controls. In order to examine the effect of F. tularensis on the neutrophil transcriptome, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with F. tularensis subsp. holarctica live vaccine strain (LVS).

Project description:In the present in vitro study, interactions between P. aeruginosa (sessile biofilms as well as planktonic cells) and PMNs were analyzed by means of DNA microarray based transcriptomics. We found that the P. aeruginosa wild type biofilms, in contrast to planktonic cultures and quorum sensing (QS) deficient strains, respond to PMN exposure in a rather aggressive manner. The response does not involve protective mechanisms such as those involved in oxidative stress. Rather it is dominated by QS controlled virulence determinants such as those encoded by pqs, phz, rhlAB, all of which are designed to cripple Eukaryotic cells including PMNs and macrophages. Our comparative analysis supports the view that QS plays a major role in mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa evades host defense systems. Keywords: Stress response The biofilms were allowed to grow and develop in the biofilm flow chambers for 3 days before challenge with PMNs. Fresh PMNs from human volunteers were isolated and resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium (BIOCHROM AG) as previously described by Bjarnsholt et al. 2005 (Bjarnsholt et al., 2005). Prior to PMN injection the flow was halted. Ten million PMNs were resuspended in 6 ml of RPMI media and injected into the flow chamber. The concentration of PMNs was found by microscopy to be approximately 1 PMN per 1000 bacterial cells. PMNs and biofilm were incubated for 2 hours. The flow chambers were rolled every 15 minutes to ensure that the entire biofilm was exposed to the PMNs. After incubation the fluid inside the chamber was discarded and the attached biofilm cells were loosened by rolling. The cells were then mechanically removed and collected in 6 ml of RNAlater®

Project description:PMNs were isolated from venous blood of healthy individuals in accordance with a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Human PMNs (107) were cultured in RPMI/H -/+ 100 ng/ml GM-CSF at 37°C and 5% CO2 for up to 24 h as indicated. At the indicated time points, tissue culture medium was aspirated from each well and PMNs were lysed with RLT buffer (Qiagen). Purification of PMN RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cRNA target was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, GeneChip hybridization (Hu95Av2 oligonuceotide microarrays) and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols (see http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/manual/expression_manual.affx). Experiments were performed in triplicate, using PMNs from three healthy individuals for each treatment. These analyses allowed comparison of global gene expression in human neutrophils during spontaneous apoptosis with that in cells cultured with human GM-CSF. Experiment Overall Design: 39 samples total: 9 time zero controls, -/+ GM-CSF at 5 time points in triplicate

Project description:Little is known about how commensal colonization controls neutrophil differentiation and functions. Using system immunology approaches we discovered commensal and infection induced changes in neutrophil proteomes. The identified differentially expressed genes were CRISPRed out in immortalized neutrophil progenitor cell lines transduced with lenti-guides. Analysis of maturation and bactericidal capacity of the generated CRISPRed clones ascribed a function to a currently unknown protein-termed Prenylcysteine oxidase 1 like (Pcyox1l). Pcyox1l deficient neutrophils show dramatic defects in longevity, autophagy, and bactericidal functions associated with reductions in SerpinB1a transcripts and protein. Metabolic labeling experiments revealed that Pcyox1l controls levels of protein prenylation, highlighting its key enzymatic function. The Pcyox1l deficiency phenotype is phenocopied by SerpinB1a deficiency in neutrophils signifying linked mechanisms. Commensal colonization increases Pcyox1l and SerpinB1a levels in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in specific pathogen free (SPF) mice when compared to germ free (GF) mice and, conversely, Pcyox1l KO mice demonstrated altered commensal microbiome and elevated susceptibility to bacterial infection. Cumulatively, our data highlight a novel metabolic pathway which is controlled by commensal colonization and governs neutrophil functionality, longevity, and bactericidal properties. In lieu with the impairment of neutrophil bactericidal functions, Pcyox1l KO mice showed elevated susceptibility to infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Francisella tularensis is a category A select agent based on its infectivity and virulence but disease mechanisms in F. tularensis infection remain poorly understood. A murine pulmonary model of infection was therefore employed to characterize the host immune response to F. tularensis infection and to discern differences in responses to infection with the highly virulent Type A F. tularensis strain Schu4 and to the less virulent Type B live vaccine strain (LVS). Mice were infected intranasally with F. tularensis Schu4 or LVS and organ lesions were assessed 48 and 120 hours after infection. Experiments were also conducted to assess and compare the host immune response to infection using global transcriptional analysis. Mice were infected via low dose aerosol with F. tularensis Schu4 or LVS strains, and transcriptional response in the lungs and spleen was monitored using full mouse genome microarrays at 12, 24, 48, and 120 hours after infection. We found differential and temporal differences in expression of cytokine and chemokine genes, CD molecules, apoptosis, leukocytes and adhesion receptors, and immunological signaling between infection with Schu4 and LVS strains. The transcriptional differences coincided with marked differences in the timing and extent of organ lesions in mice infected with the LVS and Schu4 strains. Thus, these studies revealed both temporal and qualitative differences in the host immune response to infection with virulent F. tularensis Schu4 compared to infection with LVS.

Project description:Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are often caused by strains encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL can cause lysis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and other myeloid cells in vitro, a function considered widely as the primary means by which PVL might contribute to disease. However, at sublytic concentrations PVL can function as a PMN agonist. To better understand this phenomenon, we investigated the ability of PVL to alter human PMN function. PMNs exposed to PVL had enhanced capacity to produce superoxide in response to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), but unlike priming by lipopolysaccharide, this response did not require Toll-like receptor signal transduction. On the other hand, there was subcellular redistribution of NADPH oxidase components in PMNs following exposure of these cells to PVL - a finding consistent with priming. Priming of PMNs with other agonists such as IL-8 or GM-CSF altered the ability PVL to cause formation of pores in the plasma membranes of these cells. Microarray analysis revealed significant changes in the human PMN transcriptome following exposure to PVL, including up-regulation of molecules that regulate the inflammatory response. Consistent with the microarray data, mediators of the inflammatory response were released from PMNs after stimulation with PVL. We conclude that exposure of human PMNs to sublytic concentrations of PVL elicits a proinflammatory response that is regulated in part at the level of gene expression. We propose that PVL-mediated priming of PMNs enhances the host innate immune response. time series of PMN's non treated vs PVL treated vs iPVL treated

Project description:Emergency granulopoiesis refers to the increased production of neutrophils in bone marrow and their release into circulation induced by severe infection. Several studies point to a critical role for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as the main mediator of emergency granulopoiesis. However, the consequences of G-CSF stimulation on the transcriptome of neutrophils and their precursors have not yet been investigated in humans. Here, we examine the changes in mRNA expression induced by administration of G-CSF in vivo, as a model of emergency granulopoiesis in humans. Blood samples were collected from healthy individuals after five days of G-CSF administration. Neutrophil precursors were sorted into discrete stages of maturation by flow cytometry, and RNA was subjected to microarray analysis. mRNA levels were compared to previously published expression levels in corresponding populations of neutrophil precursors isolated from bone marrow of untreated, healthy individuals. 1110 mRNAs were differentially expressed more than 2-fold throughout terminal granulopoiesis. Major changes were seen in pathways involved in apoptosis, cytokine signaling, and Toll-like receptor pathways. In addition, G-CSF treatment reduced the levels of four out of five measured granule proteins in mature neutrophils including the proantibacterial protein hCAP-18, which was completely deficient in neutrophils from G-CSF-treated donors. These results indicate that multiple biological processes are altered in order to satisfy the increased demand for neutrophils during G-CSF-induced emergency granulopoiesis in humans.
