Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) predisposes individuals to secondary infections with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus). Infections may manifest as pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis or otitis media (OM). It remains controversial as to whether secondary pneumococcal disease is due to the induction of an aberrant immune response or IAV induced immunosuppression. Moreover, as the majority of studies have been performed in the context of pneumococcal pneumonia, it remains unclear how far these findings can be extrapolated to other pneumococcal disease phenotypes. Here, we demonstrate that the viral hemagglutinin (HA) mediates bacterial OM by inducing a pro-inflammatory response in the middle ear cavity in a replication-dependent manner. Importantly, our findings show that it is the inflammatory response that mediates pneumococcal replication; not viral suppression of the immune system or epithelial damage. This study provide the first evidence that HA induced inflammation drives pneumococcal replication in the middle ear cavity, which has important consequences to the treatment of pneumococcal OM.

Project description:With annually 2.56 million deaths worldwide, pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death. Most frequent causative pathogens are Streptococcus pneumoniae and influenza A virus. Lately, the interaction between pathogens, the host and its microbiome gained more attention. A healthy microbiome is known to enhance the immune response towards pathogens, however, our knowledge on how infections affect the microbiome is still scarce. In this study, a meta-omics approach was used to investigate the impact of S. pneumoniae and influenza A virus infection on structure and function of the respiratory and gastrointestinal microbiomes of mice. In particular, the taxonomic composition of the respiratory microbiome was less affected by bacterial colonization and viral infection compared to S. pneumoniae infection. Pneumococcal pneumonia led to reduction of bacterial families and lower diversity in the respiratory microbiome, whereas diversity/richness was unaffected following H1N1 infection. Within the gastrointestinal microbiome we found exclusive changes in structure and function depending on the pneumonia inducing pathogen. Exemplarily, increased abundance of Akkermansiaceae and Spirochaetaceae, as well as decreased amounts of Clostridiaceae in response to S. pneumoniae infection, while increased presence of Enterococcaceae and Staphylococcaceae was specific for viral-induced pneumonia. Investigation of the intestinal microbiomes functional composition revealed reduced expression of flagellin and rubrerythrin and increased levels of ATPase during pneumococcal infection, while increased amounts of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase and, enoyl-CoA transferase were unique after H1N1 infection. The identification of specific taxonomical and functional profiles during infection with a respective pathogen could deliver new insights in the role of the microbiome during disease and be beneficial for discrimination of pneumococcal- or viral-induced pneumonia.

Project description:Influenza is the common respiratory problem that infects between 5-20% of the US population and results in 30,000 deaths annually. A primary cause of the influenza-associated death is due to secondary bacterial pneumonia. In this study, we investigated the role of STAT2 signaling during influenza and influenza-bacterial super-infection in mice. Herein, we demonstrate that STAT2 signaling is required for viral control, regulation of inflammation, and limiting mortality during influenza single infection. Surprisingly, despite this deficiency in anti-viral immunity, we found increased bacterial control and survival in STAT2 deficient mice during influenza-MRSA super-infection compared to controls. This protection in the absence of STAT2 was associated with accumulation of dual phenotype M1/M2 macrophages, which were required for control of bacterial infection. Together, these results suggest that the STAT2 signaling is involved in suppressing macrophage activation and bacterial control during influenza-bacterial super-infection.

Project description:The respiratory tract is constantly exposed to the environment and displays a favorable niche for colonizing microorganisms. However, the effects of respiratory bacterial carriage on the immune system and its implications for secondary responses remain largely unclear. We have employed respiratory carriage with Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb) as the underlying model to comprehensively address effects on subsequent immune responses. Persistent carriage was associated with the stimulation of Bordetella-specific CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cell responses and broad transcriptional activation was observed in CD4+CD25+ T cells. Importantly, transfer of lymphocytes from persistent carriers to acutely B. bronchiseptica infected mice resulted in a significantly increased bacterial burden in the recipient’s upper respiratory tract. In contrast, we found that B. bronchiseptica carriage resulted in a significant benefit for the host in systemic infection with Listeria monocytogenes. At the same time, vaccination and influenza A virus infection were unaffected. These data demonstrate that there are significant immune modulatory processes triggered by persistent B. bronchiseptica carriage that differentially affect subsequent immune responses. Thereby our results demonstrate the complexity of immune regulation induced by persistent bacterial carriage in the respiratory tract that can be beneficial or detrimental to the host, depending on the pathogen and the considered compartment.

Project description:Background: We employed DNA microarray technology to investigate the host response to Streptococcus pneumoniae in a mouse model of asymptomatic carriage. Over a period of six weeks, we profiled transcript abundance and complexity in the Nasal Associated Lymphoid Tissue (NALT) to identify genes whose expression differed between pneumococcal-colonized and uncolonized states. Results: Colonization with S. pneumoniae altered the expression of hundreds of genes over the course of the study, demonstrating that carriage is a dynamic process characterized by increased expression of a set of early inflammatory responses, including induction of a Type 1 Interferon response, and the production of several antimicrobial factors. Subsequent to this initial inflammatory response, we observed increases in transcripts associated with T cell development and activation, as well as wounding, basement membrane remodeling, and cell proliferation. Our analysis suggests that microbial colonization induced expression of genes encoding components critical for controlling JAK/STAT signaling, including stat1, stat2, socs3, and mapk1, as well as induction of several Type 1 Interferon-inducible genes and other antimicrobial factors at the earliest stages of colonization. Conclusions: Examining multiple time points over six weeks of colonization demonstrated that asymptomatic carriage stimulates a dynamic host response characterized by temporal waves with distinct biological programs. Our data suggest that the usual response to the presence of the pneumocccus is an initial controlled inflammatory response followed by activation of host physiological processes such as response to wounding, basement membrane remodeling, and increasing cellular numbers that ultimately allow the host to maintain an intact epithelium and eventually mount a preventive adaptive immune response. A disease state experiment design type is where the state of some disease such as infection, pathology, syndrome, etc is studied.

Five-day old C57BL/6 mice were colonised intranasally (i.n.) with 2M-CM-^W103 colony forming units (CFU) of S. pneumoniae EF3030Lux in 3 M-BM-5Ls of PBS. Alternatively, mice were mock-infected with an equivalent volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). At 14-days of age, infant mice were infected i.n. with 20 plaque forming units (PFU) (PR8/34, Cambridge/34 and WSN/33) or 102.5 PFU (all other virus strains) of egg-grown IAV in 3 M-BM-5Ls of PBS. Viral doses were selected to ensure a reproducible infection with minimum morbidity and no mortality. Six days post-IAV infection, mice were euthanised and organs were collected for analysis. Six independent biological replicates (where both ears from one mouse were pooled to create one sample) were used for each condition and analyzed using the NimbleGen platform (12M-CM-^W135K Mouse Gene Expression Arrays, Roche Nimblegen, USA). Indirect labeling, hybridization and washing was performed according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Array images were acquired with a NimbleGen MS200 scanner, and images were processed with NimbleScan software using the RMA algorithm. Data was processed using Arraystar (DNASTAR, USA) with default settings as described in the manual. Differential expression tests were performed with a moderated T-test implemented in Arraystar, followed by FDR correction of the P values (Q-values) according to the method of Storey and Tibshirani

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of hospital-acquired infection. In healthy hosts outside of the health care setting, S.aureus is a frequent colonizer of the human nose but rarely causes severe invasive infection such as bacteremia, endocarditis, or osteomyelitis. To identify genes associated with community-acquired invasive isolates, regions of genomic variability, and the S.aureus population structure, we compared 61 community-acquired invasive isolates of S.aureus and 100 nasal carriage isolates from healthy donors using a microarray spotted with PCR products representing every gene from the seven S.aureus sequencing projects. The core genes common to all strains were identified, and 10 dominant lineages of S.aureus were clearly discriminated. Each lineage carried a unique combination of hundreds of core variable (CV) genes scattered throughout the chromosome, suggesting a common ancestor but early evolutionary divergence. Many CV genes are regulators of virulence genes or known or predicted to be expressed on the bacterial surface and to interact with the host during nasal colonization and infection. Within each lineage, isolates showed substantial variation in the carriage of mobile genetic elements and their associated virulence and resistance genes, indicating frequent horizontal transfer. However, we were unable to identify any association between lineage or gene and invasive isolates. We suggest that the S.aureus gene combinations necessary for invasive disease may also be necessary for nasal colonization and that community-acquired invasive disease is strongly dependent on host factors.
