Dynamin-like proteins are essential for vesicle biogenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secretes pathogenicity factors and immunologically active molecules via membrane vesicles. However, nothing is known about the mechanisms involved in mycobacterial vesicle biogenesis. This study investigates molecular determinants of membrane vesicle production in Mtb by analyzing Mtb cells under conditions of high vesicle production: iron limitation and VirR restriction. Ultrastructural analysis showed extensive cell envelope restructuring in association with vesicle release that correlated with downregulation of cell surface lipid biosynthesis and peptidoglycan alterations. Comparative transcriptomics showed common upregulation of the iniBAC operon in association with high vesicle production in Mtb cells. Vesicle production analysis demonstrated that the dynamin-like proteins (DLPs) encoded by this operon, IniA and IniC, are necessary for release of EV by Mtb in culture and in infected macrophages. Isoniazid, a first-line antibiotic, used in tuberculosis treatment, was found to stimulate vesicle release in a DLP-dependent manner. Our results provide a new understanding of the function of mycobacterial DLPs and mechanistic insights into vesicle biogenesis. The findings will enable further understanding of the relevance of Mtb-derived extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and may open new avenues for therapeutic research.

Host directed activity of Pyrazinamide in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Project description:Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the first line antibiotics used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). we have used human monocyte and a mouse model of pulmonary TB to investigate whether treatment with PZA, in addition to its known anti-mycobacterial properties, modulate the host immune response during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Mice were infected with Mtb and treatment with PZA was started at 28 days post-infection. At 42 days and 63 days post-infection, group of animals were euthanized and lung tissue was collected to isolate total RNA and used in microarray experiments. Mtb-infected, untreated animals served as controls.

Sensing of mycobacterial arabinogalactan by galectin-9 exacerbates mycobacterial infection by inducing matrix metalloproteinases

Project description:Mycobacterial arabinogalactan (AG) is an essential cell wall component of Mycobacteria and a frequent structural and bio-synthetical target for anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug development. Yet, it is unclear whether mycobacterial AG is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) with an elusive pattern recognition receptor (PRR). Here, we report that mycobacterial AG is recognized by galectin-9 and exacerbates mycobacterial infection. Administration of AG-specific aptamers inhibited cellular infiltration caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and moderately increased survival of Mtb-infected mice or Mycobacterium marinum-infected zebrafish. AG interacted with carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) 2 of galectin-9 with high affinity, and galectin-9 associated with transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) via CRD2 to trigger subsequent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) as well as induction of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, deletion of galectin-9 or inhibition of MMPs blocked AG-induced pathological impairments in the lung, and the AG-galectin-9 axis aggravated the process of Mtb infection in mice. These results demonstrate that AG is an important virulence factor of mycobacteria and galectin-9 is a novel receptor for Mtb and other mycobacteria, paving the way for the development of novel effective TB immune modulators.

Proteome analysis of the M. tuberculosis Beijing B0/W148 cluster

Project description:The main project purpose is to investigate the fundamental physiological state of M. tuberculosis (MTB) during the infection and the mycobacterial response within the infected host tissue, human lung. High-throughput proteomic analysis of MTB cells will be involved to solve this problem. The description of pattern of proteins expressed in MTB cells extracted directly from clinical material of patients with tuberculosis defines the main novelty of the given project. Undoubtedly, the intermediate project results describing the features of MTB strains proteome in vitro will also be essential for the global scientific community.

Demonstrating the utility of the ex vivo murine mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) for high-throughput screening of tuberculosis vaccine candidates against multiple Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains

Project description:Human tuberculosis (TB) is caused by various members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex. Differences in host response to infection have been reported, illustrative of a need to test vaccines against multiple Mtb strains in preclinical studies. We have previously shown that the murine lung and spleen mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) can be used to assess control of ex vivo mycobacterial growth by host cells. The number of mice required for the assay is lower than in vivo Mtb challenge studies, facilitating testing of multiple strains and/or the incorporation of other cellular analyses which may inform the design of future in vivo studies. Here, we present an optimised mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) for testing TB vaccines against multiple Mtb clinical isolates. Using an ancient and modern strain of the Mtb complex, we demonstrate that ex vivo bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)-mediated mycobacterial growth inhibition recapitulates protection observed in the lung and spleen following in vivo infection of mice. Further, cellular and transcriptional correlates of growth inhibition in the lung MGIA were identified. Flow cytometric analysis revealed an increased proportion of dendritic cells and interstitial macrophages in the lung cell input from mice vaccinated parentally with BCG compared with unvaccinated mice. RNA-seq analysis of the lung cell input revealed shared and strain-specific transcriptional correlates of BCG-mediated growth inhibition. The ex vivo MGIA may represent a platform to gain early insight into vaccine performance against a collection of Mtb strains to improve preclinical evaluation of TB vaccines.

Gasdermin D mediates host cell death but not interleukin-1β secretion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected macrophages

Project description:Necrotic cell death represents a major pathogenic mechanism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. It is increasingly evident that Mtb induces several types of regulated necrosis but how these are interconnected and linked to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines remains unknown. Exploiting a clinical cohort of tuberculosis patients, we show here that the number and size of necrotic lesions correlates with IL-1β plasma levels as a strong indicator of inflammasome activation. Our mechanistic studies reveal that Mtb triggers mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) and subsequently extensive macrophage necrosis which requires activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. NLRP3 driven mitochondrial damage is dependent on proteolytic activation of the pore forming effector protein gasdermin D (GSDMD) which links two distinct cell death machineries. Intriguingly, GSDMD, but not the membranolytic mycobacterial ESX-1 secretion system is dispensable for IL-1β secretion from Mtb-infected macrophages. Thus, our study dissects a novel mechanism of pathogen induced regulated necrosis by identifying mitochondria as central regulatory hubs capable of delineating cytokine secretion and lytic cell death.

Novel Role for Macrophage Galactose-type Lectin-1 to Regulate Innate Immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is characterized by inflammatory pathology and poorly understood mechanisms of innate immunity. Pattern recognition receptors (PRR), expressed on the surface of macrophages, determine the balance of inflammatory and antimicrobial functions that influence disease outcome. Carbohydrate moieties displayed by mycobacteria can serve as PRR ligands for some members of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family; interactions that mediate a variety of incompletely understood immune outcomes. This work identifies a novel role for the CLR Macrophage Galactose-type Lectin-1 (MGL-1) in a mouse model of experimental tuberculosis. Murine macrophages upregulated MGL-1 following in vitro exposure to Mtb, while MGL+ cells accumulated at sites of mycobacteria-driven inflammation in the lung. Pulmonary macrophages from MGL-1-deficient mice displayed increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1b, IL-6 and IFN-g) that was associated with greater lipid accumulation, following Mtb infection. Surprisingly for a CLR, we also observed MGL-1-dependent anti-mycobacterial activity as evidenced by greater Mtb proliferation in BMDM, and the lung, of MGL-1 deficient mice. These results identify MGL-1 signaling as an important mechanism that regulates innate immunity against Mtb and indicate potential for the MGL pathway as a novel therapeutic target for anti-TB immunity.

Nitric oxide exposure induces production of Rpf-dependent differentially culturable mycobacteria

Project description:Rationale: Tuberculosis has a devastating impact on global health by claiming nearly 1.4 million lives each year. During infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, produces heterogenous populations some of which don’t produce colonies on agar but grow in liquid media and often require supplementation with culture supernatants or recombinant Resuscitation-promoting factor, thus defined as differentially culturable bacilli. Objectives: to evaluate whether exposure to nitric oxide (NO), a well-known host defence molecule, alters mycobacterial growth phenotypes and drives generation of Rpf-dependent differentially culturable bacilli. Methods: a novel NO donor was synthesised and tested against Mtb and Mycobacterium bovis BCG in vitro, followed by growth assays, flow cytometry analysis and assessment of transcriptomic responses. Resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) inhibitors were used to characterise the role of Rpf proteins in the reactivation of NO-treated mycobacteria. Mycobacterial phenotypes were also investigated during infection of THP-1 macrophages activated with retinoic acid and vitamin D3. Measurements and Main Results: differentially culturable mycobacteria were generated after exposure to the novel NO donor or during infection of activated THP-1 cells. Resuscitation of these differentially culturable bacilli was largely abolished by specific Rpf inhibitors. Transcriptomic analysis revealed redox-associated stress signatures mediated by SigH and SigF, with significant down-regulation of ribosome and cell wall architecture genes, including rpfA, rpfB and rpfE, and induction of genes involved in response to thiol stress, sulphur metabolism and iron acquisition. Conclusion: Our study provides mechanistic insights into the generation of Rpf-dependent Mtb during tuberculosis and outlines a critical role of NO in this process.
