Stronger induction of trained immunity by mucosal BCG or MTBVAC vaccination

ABSTRACT: Vaccination against tuberculosis by intradermal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) injection saves many lives, supposedly by inducing adaptive immune memory in lymphocytes. Epidemiologically, BCG vaccination is also associated with reduced childhood mortality unrelated to TB, which is attributed to innate immune memory, also termed trained immunity. We recently demonstrated improved protection against tuberculosis infection in highly susceptible rhesus macaques by mucosal BCG vaccination, correlating with a unique local but no peripheral immune profile. Here, we investigated local and peripheral innate immune function after intradermal versus mucosal vaccination with M. bovis BCG or the live attenuated, M. tuberculosis-derived candidate, MTBVAC. The results demonstrate an augmented frequency of trained immunity in monocytes after respiratory mucosal administration of live attenuated mycobacterial vaccines compared to intradermal immunization, with MTBVAC being equally potent as BCG. These results provide further support to strategies for improving TB vaccination and, more broadly, modulating innate immunity via mucosal surfaces.

Multi-omics analysis of human population variation in immune function and in vivo response to BCG vaccination

Project description:Immune responses are tightly regulated, yet highly variable between individuals. To investigate human population variation of trained immunity, we immunized healthy individuals with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This live attenuated vaccine induces not only an adaptive immune response against tuberculosis, but also triggers innate immune activation and memory. We established personal immune profiles and chromatin accessibility maps over a time course of BCG vaccination in 323 individuals. This large resource uncovered genetic and epigenetic predictors of baseline immunity and BCG vaccine response. We found that BCG vaccination enhances the innate immune response only in individuals with dormant immune states at baseline, suggesting that exogeneous induction of trained immunity is not a universal booster of innate immunity, but specifically elevates weak innate immune responses. This study advances our understanding of BCG’s heterologous immune-stimulatory effects and trained immunity in humans. Moreover, our results highlight the value of epigenetic cell states as an “endophenotype” that connects immune function with genotype and the environment.

Parenteral BCG vaccine induces respiratory mucosal-resident memory macrophages and trained innate immunity via the gut-lung axis II

Project description:Besides centrally induced innate immune memory/trained immunity in the bone marrow/peripheral blood by parenteral vaccination or infection, recently emerging evidence suggests that the barrier mucosal tissue-resident innate immune memory may develop via a local inflammatory pathway following mucosal immunologic exposure. However, it remains unclear whether the mucosal-resident innate immune memory may result from integrating distally generated immunological signals following parenteral vaccination/infection. We show here that subcutaneous Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is able to induce memory alveolar macrophages (AM) and trained immunity at the respiratory barrier mucosa. Although parenteral BCG vaccine can centrally train bone marrow progenitors and circulating monocytes, induction of memory AM is entirely independent of circulating monocytes. Rather, parenteral BCG vaccination, via distal mycobacterial dissemination, causes a time-dependent alteration in gut microbiome, barrier function and microbial metabolites including short-chain fatty acids, and subsequently the changes in circulating and lung tissue metabolites, leading to induction of tissue-resident memory macrophages and trained innate immunity in the lung. Our study thus reveals a novel gut microbiota-mediated pathway for innate immune memory development at distal barrier mucosal tissues. Our findings have far-reaching implications in developing next-generation parenteral vaccine strategies against respiratory pathogens such as M.tb.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiles reveal changes associated with BCG-induced trained immunity and protective effects in circulating monocytes

Project description:Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is one of the most widely-used vaccines worldwide. In addition to protection against tuberculosis, BCG confers a degree of non-specific protection against other infections by enhancing secondary immune responses to heterologous pathogens, an effect termed trained immunity. To better understand BCG-induced immune reprogramming, we performed single-cell transcriptomic measurements before and after BCG vaccination using secondary immune stimulation with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We find that BCG vaccination reduces systemic inflammation, and we identify 75 genes with an altered response to LPS, including several inflammatory mediators such as CCL3 and CCL4 which have a heightened response. Co-expression analysis reveals gene modules containing these cytokines lose coordination after BCG vaccination. Others have increased coordination, including several humanin nuclear isoforms which we confirmed induce trained immunity in vitro. Our results link in vivo BCG administration to single cell transcriptomic changes, validated in human genetics experiments, and highlight new genes which may be responsible for the non-specific protective effects of BCG.

Lung epithelial signaling mediates early vaccine-induced CD4+ T cell activation and Mtb control

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent. The development of a TB vaccine that induces durable and effective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is urgently needed. Complete and early Mtb control can be induced in M. bovis Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccinated hosts when the innate immune response is targeted to generate effective vaccine-induced immunity. In the present study, we show that the superior and early Mtb control that is mediated by innate activation of DCs is associated with mucosal localization of clonal activated vaccine-induced CD4+ T cells in the lung. Our studies also show that the lung epithelial cell signaling through the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFKB pathway is critical for the mucosal localization of activated vaccine-induced CD4+ T cells for rapid Mtb control. Thus, our study provides novel insights into the immune mechanisms that can overcome TB vaccine bottlenecks and provide early rapid Mtb control.

CD4+CCR6+ T cells dominate the BCG-induced transcriptional signature

Project description:The century-old Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Despite this, there is still a lot to learn about the immune response induced by BCG, both in terms of phenotype and specificity. Here, we investigated immune responses in adult individuals pre and 8 months post BCG vaccination. We specifically determined changes in gene expression, cell subset composition, DNA methylome, and the TCR repertoire induced in PBMCs and CD4 memory T cells associated with antigen stimulation by either BCG or a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-derived peptide pool. Following BCG vaccination, we observed increased frequencies of CCR6+ CD4 T cells, which includes both Th1* and Th17 subsets, and mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAITs). A large number of immune response genes and pathways were upregulated post BCG vaccination with similar patterns observed in both PBMCs and memory CD4 T cells, thus suggesting a substantial role for CD4 T cells in the cellular response to BCG. These upregulated genes and associated pathways were also reflected in the DNA methylome. We described both qualitative and quantitative changes in the BCG-specific TCR repertoire post vaccination, and importantly found evidence for similar TCR repertoires across different subjects. The immune signatures defined herein can be used to track and further characterize immune responses induced by BCG, and can serve as reference for benchmarking novel vaccination strategies.

Prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease in nonhuman primates following intravenous BCG vaccination

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the leading cause of death from infection worldwide. Intradermal (ID) vaccination with BCG has variable efficacy against pulmonary tuberculosis, the major cause of mortality and disease transmission. Here we show that the route and dose of BCG vaccination alters circulating and lung resident T cells and subsequent protection against Mtb challenge in nonhuman primates (NHP). NHP immunized with BCG by the intravenous (IV) route induced substantially higher antigen-specific CD4 (Th1 or Th17) and CD8 responses in blood, spleen, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and lung lymph nodes compared to the same BCG dose administered by ID or aerosol (AE) routes. Moreover, IV immunization was the only route that induced a high frequency of antigen-specific tissue resident T cells in lung parenchyma. Six months after BCG vaccination, NHP were challenged with virulent Mtb. Strikingly, 9 of 10 NHP that received BCG IV were highly protected, with 6 NHP showing no detectable infection as determined by PET CT imaging, mycobacterial growth, pathology, granuloma formation, or de novo immune responses to Mtb-specific antigens. The finding that BCG IV prevents or significantly limits Mtb infection in NHP has important implications for vaccine development and provides a model for determining immune correlates and mechanisms of protection against TB.

Defining Gene Signatures for Protective Immunity to Tuberculosis in the Chinese Cynomolgus Macaque Model

Project description:Gene expression profiles in PPD-stimulated and unstimulated peripherhal blood mononuclear cells isolated from chinese cynomolgus macaques before and after BCG vaccination and before and after M. tuberculosis challenge were compared in animals able to control TB infection and those that developed TB disease in order to identify potential correlates of protection and/or biomarkers of disease. 6 macaques received BCG vaccination prior to challenge and were able to control TB infection (vaccinated controllers). 3 unvaccinated macaques were also able to control TB infection after challenge (unvaccinated controllers) and 3 other unvaccinated macaques developed TB disease and reached humane endpoint criteria (unvaccinated progressors). PBMCs isolated at 8 and 18 weeks post BCG-vaccination from the vaccinated controllers and at 6 weeks post M.tb challenge and at 2 time-points when the animals were naive in all animals were stimulated with PPD. RNA was extracted from the cells and hybridised to and Agilent rhesus macaque GE microarray in a one-colour hybridisation. Gene expression post-vaccination and/or post-challenge was compared with expression before vaccination/challenge when the animals were naive.
