Leukocyte - endothelial cell interaction in infections: the role of IL1, TNF and IFN pathways

ABSTRACT: Here we comprehensively characterized the transcriptomic responses of human leukocytes (PBMC) and EC to Gram negative-bacteria, Gram positive-bacteria, and fungi by RNAseq. We showed that the common response of leukocytes to various pathogens converges on EC activation. By exposing EC to leukocyte-released mediators, with or without the presence of IL1RA and TNFα antibody, we identified specific roles for IL1 and TNFα in driving the majority of, but not exclusively, endothelial activation. Furthermore, interferon pathways are strongly induced in EC by leukocyte-released mediators, but independently from IL1 and TNFα. Our study, therefore reveals a role for IFN, together with IL1 and TNFα signaling, in mediating leukocyte-endothelial interaction in infections

RNA-seq analysis of whole liver derived from endothelial specific TAK1 conditional knockout mice.

Project description:In this study we show that TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), is crucial for ensuring EC survival on TNFα stimulation. EC-specific TAK1-knockout in adult mice resulted in rapid death of the animal due to destruction of intestinal and liver blood vessels. TNFα from myeloid cells responding to intestinal microbiota was responsible for EC death in the intestine and liver. Our results illuminate mechanisms ensuring survival of intestinal and liver EC under physiological conditions

Genome-wide profiling of whole blood from patients with defects in Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and IL-1Rs (the TIR pathway) signaling

Project description:The objective of this study is to: 1) Characterize the innate immune responsiveness of patients with inborn errors in Toll-IL1 receptor signaling pathway (IRAK4, MyD88 deficiencies) compared to healthy subjects, through the analysis of blood leukocytes' transcriptional profiles after stimulation with ligands for the whole set of Toll-like receptors and IL-1Rs plus whole bacteria. 2) Understand the redundancies in TLR pathway in humans. 3) Explore the use of blood profiling approaches to assess the immune status of an individual by using Primary Immune Deficiencies as a proof of principle.

Pam3Cys-treated HUVEC before and after TLR2 knockdown

Project description:The vascular endothelium is integrally involved in the host response to infection and in organ failure during acute inflammatory disorders such as sepsis. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial lipoproteins circulate in sepsis and can directly activate the endothelium by binding to endothelial cell (EC) Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). In this report, we perform the most comprehensive analysis to date of the immune-related genes regulated after activation of endothelial TLR2 by bacterial di- and triacylated lipopeptides. We found that TLR2 activation specifically induces the expression of IL6, IL8, CSF2, CSF3, ICAM1 and SELE by human umbilical vein ECs and human lung microvascular ECs. These proteins participate in neutrophil recruitment, adherence and activation at sites of inflammation. Significantly, our studies demonstrate that bacterial lipopeptides activate human EC exclusively through TLR2, that TLR2-mediated EC responses are specifically geared towards recruitment, activation, and survival of neutrophils and not mononuclear leukocytes, and that ECs do not require priming by other inflammatory stimuli to respond to bacterial lipopeptides. This study suggests that endothelial TLR2 may be an important regulator of neutrophil trafficking to sites of infection in general, and that direct activation of lung endothelial TLR2 may contribute to acute lung injury during sepsis.

Gene expression of HUVECS treated with either siRNA to CTRL, PDHA1, or SREBF2 and treated with TNF 16 hours

Project description:The endothelium is a major target of the proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). Exposure of endothelial cells (EC) to proinflammatory stimuli leads to an increase in mitochondrial metabolism, however, the function and regulation of elevated mitochondrial metabolism in EC in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines remains unclear. Using high-resolution metabolomics and 13C-glucose labeled flux techniques, we demonstrate that pyruvate dehydrogenase activity (PDH) and tricarboxylic acid cycle flux is elevated in human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) in response to overnight (16 hrs) treatment with TNFα (10 ng/mL). Mechanistic studies indicate that TNFα mediates these metabolic changes via mitochondrial specific protein degradation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4, inhibitor of PDH) by the Lon protease via an NF-κB dependent mechanism. Using RNA sequencing following siRNA mediated knockdown of the catalytically active subunit of PDH, PDHE1a (PDHA1 gene), we show that PDH flux controls the transcription of approximately one-third of the genes that are upregulated by TNFa stimulation. Notably, TNFa induced PDH flux regulates a unique signature of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines and chemokines) but not inducible adhesion molecules. Using metabolomics and ChIP sequencing (H3AcK27), we demonstrate that TNFα induced PDH flux promotes histone acetylation of specific gene sets via citrate accumulation and ATP-citrate lyase activity. Together, these results indicate that targeting endothelial glucose oxidation and/or acetyl CoA generation may offer a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of vascular inflammation.

G-quadruplex DNA as a target for pathogenic bacteria: efficacy of an extended naphthalene diimide ligand and mode of action

Project description:Guanidine DNA quadruplex (G4-DNA) structures convey a distinctive layer of epigenetic information that is critical for the regulation of key biological activities and processes as genome transcription regulation, replication and repair. Despite several works that have been published recently, the information regarding their role and possible use as therapeutic drug targets in bacteria is still scarce. Here, we tested the biological activity of a small G4-DNA ligand library based on the naphthalene diimide (NDI) pharmacophore, against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For the best compound identified, NDI-10, the action mechanism was further characterized. Gram-negative bacteria were more resistant altogether due to the presence of the outer membrane, although the activity of the G4-Ligand was generally bactericidal, while it was bacteriostatic for Gram-positive bacteria. This asymmetric activity could be related to the different prevalence of putative G4-DNA structures in each group, the influence that they can exert on the gene expression (which was found more severe for the Gram-negative bacteria) and the role of the G4 structures in these bacteria, that seems to be more related to promote transcription in Gram-positive bacteria and repress transcription in Gram-negative.

The role of the periplasmic chaperones SurA, Skp and DegP for fitness, outer membrane integrity, antibiotic susceptibility and virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075: same-same, but different?

Project description:The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria efficiently protects from harmful environmental stresses such as antibiotics, disinfectants or dryness. Main constituents of the OM are integral OM β-barrel proteins (OMPs). In Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli (Ec), Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa), the insertion of OMPs depends on a sophisticated biogenesis pathway. This comprises the SecYEG translocon, which enables inner membrane (IM) passage, the chaperones SurA, Skp and DegP, which facilitate the passage of β-barrel OMPs through the periplasm, and the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) which facilitates insertion into the OM. In Ec, Ye and Pa the deletion of SurA is particularly detrimental and leads to a loss of OM integrity, sensitization to antibiotics, and hypovirulence. In search of targets that could be exploited to develop compounds that interfere with OM integrity in Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab), we employed the multidrug-resistant strain AB5075 to generate single gene knockout strains lacking individual periplasmic chaperones. In contrast to Ec, Ye and Pa, AB5075 tolerates the lack of SurA, Skp or DegP with only weak mutant phenotypes. While the double knockout strains surAskp and surAdegP are conditionally lethal in Ec, all double deletions were well tolerated by AB5075. Strikingly, even a triple knockout strain of AB5075, lacking surA, skp and degP, was viable. Our findings underline the extreme adaptibility of Ab and suggest the existence of mechanisms bypassing or acting redundantly to the known OMP biogenesis pathway comprising SurA, Skp and DegP.

Transcriptomic response of immune signaling pathways in intestinal epithelial cells exposed to commensals, pathogens and probiotics

Project description:In order to understand the appropriate use of potentially beneficial Gram positive microbes through their introduction in the gut microbiome, it is necessary to understand the influence of individual bacteria on the host response system at a cellular level. In the present study we showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), flagellated Gram negative bacteria, potentially beneficial Gram positive bacteria and yeast interact differently with human intestinal enterocytes (IEC) with a custom-designed expression microarray evaluating 17 specific host-response pathways. Only, LPS and flagellated Gram negative bacteria induced inflammatory response, while a subset of Gram positive microbes had anti-inflammatory potential. The main outcome from the study was the differential regulation of the central MAPK signaling pathway by these Gram positive microbes versus commensal/pathogenic Gram negative bacteria. The microarray was efficient to highlight the impact of individual bacteria on IEC response, but q-RT-PCR validation demonstrated some underestimation for down regulated genes by the microarray. This Immune Array will allow us to better understand the mechanisms underlying pathogen-induced host immune responses, aid in the selection potentially probiotic microbes and perhaps select biomarkers for future clinical studies.

Rapid pathogen-specific recruitment of immune effector cells in the skin by secreted toxins

Project description:Swift recruitment of phagocytic leukocytes is critical to prevent infection when bacteria breach through the protective layers of the skin. According to canonical models, this occurs via an indirect process that is initiated by contact of bacteria with resident skin cells and which is independent of the pathogenic potential of the invader. Here, we describe a more rapid mechanism of leukocyte recruitment to the site of intrusion of the important skin pathogen Staphylococcus aureus that is based on direct recognition of specific bacterial toxins, the phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs), by circulating leukocytes. This early recruitment was dependent on the transcription factor EGR1 and significantly contributed to the prevention of infection. Our findings refine the classical notion of the non-specific and resident cell-dependent character of the innate immune response to bacterial infection by demonstrating a pathogen-specific high-alert mechanism involving direct recruitment of immune effector cells by secreted bacterial products.
