Establishment of chronic typhoid infection in a mouse carriage model involves a Type 2 immune shift and T and B cell recruitment to the gallbladder

ABSTRACT: Typhoid fever, caused primarily by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), is a life-threatening systemic disease responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. 3-5% of individuals infected with S. Typhi become chronic carriers due to bacterial persistence in the gallbladder. We have demonstrated that Salmonella forms biofilms on gallstones to establish gallbladder carriage. However, an in-depth molecular understanding of chronic carriage in the gallbladder, from the perspective of both the pathogen and host, is poorly defined. To examine the dynamics of the gallbladder in response to Salmonella infection, we performed transcriptional profiling in the mouse gallbladder at early (7 day) and chronic (21 day) time points. RNA-Seq revealed a shift from a Th1 pro-inflammatory response at 7 days post infection (DPI) towards an anti-inflammatory Th2 response by 21 DPI, characterized by increased levels of immunoglobulins and the Th2 master transcriptional regulator, GATA3. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis predicted the upstream regulation of characteristic Th2 markers including IL-4 and Stat6. Immunohistochemistry and FACS analysis confirmed a significant increase in lymphocytes, including T and B cells, at 21 DPI in mice with gallstones. Interestingly, Salmonella-specific CD4 T-cells were ten-fold higher in the gallbladder of mice with gallstones at 21 DPI. We speculate that the biofilm state allows Salmonella to resist the initial onslaught of the Th1 inflammatory response, while yet undefined events influence a switch in the host immunity towards a more permissive Type 2 response, enabling the establishment of chronic infection.

Diagnostic metabolite biomarkers of chronic typhoid carriage

Project description:Background: Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A are the agents of enteric (typhoid) fever; both can establish chronic carriage in the gallbladder. Chronic Salmonella carriers are typically asymptomatic, intermittently shedding bacteria in the feces, and contributing to disease transmission. Detecting chronic carriers is of public health relevance in areas where enteric fever is endemic, but there are no routinely used methods for prospectively identifying those carrying Salmonella in their gallbladder. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we aimed to identify biomarkers of Salmonella carriage using metabolite profiling. We performed metabolite profiling on plasma from Nepali patients undergoing cholecystectomy with confirmed S. Typhi or S. Paratyphi A gallbladder carriage (and non-carriage controls) using two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS) and supervised pattern recognition modeling. We were able to significantly discriminate Salmonella carriage samples from non-carriage control samples. We were also able to detect differential signatures between S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A carriers. We additionally compared carriage metabolite profiles with profiles generated during acute infection; these data revealed substantial heterogeneity between metabolites associated with acute enteric fever and chronic carriage. Lastly, we found that Salmonella carriers could be significantly distinguished from non-carriage controls using only five metabolites, indicating the potential of these metabolites as diagnostic markers for detecting chronic Salmonella carriers. Conclusions/Significance: Our novel approach has highlighted the potential of using metabolomics to search for diagnostic markers of chronic Salmonella carriage. We suggest further epidemiological investigations of these potential biomarkers in alternative endemic enteric fever settings.

Early Host Immune Responses in Human Gallbladder to Salmonella Typhi Strains from Patients with Acute and Chronic Infections

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), a human-restricted pathogen, enters the host through the gut to cause typhoid fever. Recent calculations of the typhoid fever burden estimated that more than 20 million new typhoid fever cases occur in low and middle-income countries, resulting in 129,000-223,000 deaths yearly. Interestingly, upon the resolution of acute disease, 1%-5% of patients become asymptomatic chronic carriers of S. Typhi. Chronically infected hosts are not only critical reservoirs of infection that transmit the disease to naive individuals but are also predisposed to developing gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms involved in the early interactions between gallbladder epithelial cells and S. Typhi remain largely unknown. Based on our previous studies showing that very closely related S. Typhi strains elicit distinct innate immune responses, we hypothesized that host molecular pathways activated by S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients will differ. To test this hypothesis, we used a novel human organoid-derived polarized gallbladder monolayer (HODGM) model, and 13 S. Typhi strains derived from acutely (n=6) and chronically (n=7) infected patients. We found that S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients differentially regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and S6 transcription factors. This differential regulation impacts, at least in part, the cytokine signaling pathway involved in the production of TNF- and IL-6 and is likely to play a critical role in inducing chronic S. Typhi infection in the gallbladder.

Transcriptome analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium growth in physiological murine bile

Project description:Infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in humans causes the systemic, life-threatening disease typhoid fever. In the laboratory, typhoid fever can be modeled through the inoculation of susceptible mice with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The ensuing disease is characterized by systemic dissemination and colonization of many organs, including the liver, spleen and gallbladder. Using this murine model, we previously characterized the interactions between Salmonella Typhimurium and host cells in the gallbladder and showed that this pathogen can successfully invade gallbladder epithelial cells and proliferate. Additionally, we showed that Salmonella Typhimurium can use bile phospholipids to grow at high rates. These abilities are likely important for quick colonization of the gallbladder during typhoid fever and further pathogen dissemination through fecal shedding. To further characterize the interactions between Salmonella and the gallbladder environment we compared the transcriptome of Salmonella cultures grown in LB or physiological murine bile. Our data showed that many genes involved in bacterial central metabolism are affected by bile, with the citric acid cycle being repressed and alternative respiratory systems being activated. Additionally, our study revealed a new aspect of Salmonella interactions with bile through the identification of phoP as a bile-responsive gene. Repression of phoP expression does not involve PhoPQ sensing of a bile component. Due to its critical role in Salmonella virulence, further studies in this area will likely reveal aspects of the interaction between Salmonella and bile that are relevant to disease.

RNA sequencing revealed the multi-stage transcriptome transformations during the development of gallbladder cancer associated with chronic inflammation

Project description:Purpose Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly malignant tumor with extremely poor prognosis. Previous studies have suggested that the carcinogenesis and progression of GBC is a multi-stage and multi-step process, but most of them focused on the genome changes. And a few studies just compared the transcriptome differences between tumor tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues. The transcriptome changes, relating to every stage of GBC evolution, have rarely been studied. Methods We selected three cases of normal gallbladder, four cases of gallbladder with chronic inflammation induced by gallstones, five cases of early GBC, and five cases of advanced GBC, using next-generation RNA sequencing to reveal the changes in mRNAs and lncRNAs expression during the evolution of GBC. Results In-depth analysis of the sequencing data indicated that transcriptome changes from normal gallbladder to gallbladder with chronic inflammation were distinctly related to inflammation, lipid metabolism, and sex hormone metabolism; transcriptome changes from gallbladder with chronic inflammation to early GBC were distinctly related to immune activities and connection between cells; and the transcriptome changes from early GBC to advanced GBC were distinctly related to transmembrane transport of substances and migration of cells. Conclusion Expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs change significantly during the evolution of GBC, in which lipid-based metabolic abnormalities play an important promotive role, inflammation and immune activities play a key role, and changes in membrane proteins are the most highlighted molecular changes.

Expression profiles of Salmonella typhi inside human macrophages (THP-1) compared to supernatant

Project description:Global expression profiles of Salmonella typhi grown in the supernatant of infection and within human macrophages at 0h, 2h, 8h and 24h were obtained. Stringent analytical methods were used to compare Salmonella typhi cDNAs and revealed that known virulence factors, such as the SPI-1 and SPI-2 encoded type III secretion systems, were found to be expressed as predicted during infection by Salmonella. Intracellular Typhi expressed many genes encoding antimicrobial peptides, used the glyoxylate bypass for fatty acid utilization, and, did not induce the SOS response or the oxidative stress response. Genes coding for the flagellar apparatus, chemotaxis and the iron transport system were down-regulated in vivo. The combined use of SCOTS and microarray is an effective way to determine global bacterial gene expression profiling in the context of host infection, without the need of increasing the multiplicity of infection beyond what is seen in nature.

Typhoidal Salmonella Dendritic Cell Survival Mechanism Revealed by Dual RNA sequencing

Project description:Salmonella enterica represent a major disease burden worldwide. While non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars trigger self-limiting diarrhoea, leading to occasional secondary bacteraemia, S. enterica serovar Typhi is responsible for potentially life-threatening Typhoid fever. Dendritic cells (DCs) are key professional antigen presenting cells of the human immune system. The ability of pathogenic bacteria to subvert DC functions and prevent T cell recognition contributes to their survival and dissemination within the host. Here, we adapted Dual RNA-sequencing to define how different Salmonella pathovariants remodel their gene expression in tandem with that of infected DCs. We find DCs harness iron handling pathways to defend against invading Salmonellas, which, the human pathogen S. Typhi is able to circumvent. We show that S. Typhi mounts a robust response to host oxidative stress to avoid host iron-mediated defence mechanisms. In parallel, we provide evidence that invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella employs several strategies to impair DC functions and undertake alternative nutrient scavenging strategies to survive in the hostile intracellular environment.
