Project description:Rationale: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial cause of community acquired pneumonia. Some clinical trials have demonstrated a beneficial effect of corticosteroid therapy in community acquired pneumonia, but the mechanisms of this benefit remain unclear. Objectives: To investigate the biologic effects of corticosteroids in pneumococcal pneumonia in mice and in patients Methods: We studied lower respiratory tract transcriptomes from an observational cohort of mechanically ventilated patients and from a pneumonia model in mice. We also carried out comprehensive physiologic, biochemical, and histological analyses in mice to identify mechanisms of lung injury in S. pneumoniae with and without adjunctive steroid therapy. Measurement and Main Results: Transcriptomic analysis identified pleiotropic effects of steroid therapy on the lower respiratory tract in critically ill patients with pneumococcal pneumonia, findings that were reproducible in mice. In mice with pneumonia, dexamethasone in combination with ceftriaxone reduced (1) pulmonary edema formation, (2) alveolar protein permeability, (3) proinflammatory cytokine release, (4) histopathology lung injury score, and (5) hypoxemia, but did not increase bacterial burden. Conclusions: In combination with appropriate antibiotics in mice, treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia with steroid therapy reduces hypoxemia, pulmonary edema, lung permeability, and histologic criteria of lung injury, and also altered inflammatory responses at the protein and gene expression level. The concordance of transcriptional data in the mouse model and in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia supports the translational relevance of this work.

Project description:Host-directed therapy, using nasal administration of the Toll-like receptor 5 agonist flagellin in combination with antibiotics, has demonstrated effectiveness against pneumococcal pneumonia. In this study, we investigated the immune mechanisms underlying the protective effects. Transcriptomic analysis of lung tissue during infection revealed that flagellin not only enhanced pathways associated with myeloid cell infiltration into the airways and antimicrobial functions, but also promoted the early and transient mobilization of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes. Neutrophils were identified as crucial for the protective effects of flagellin. The adjunct activity of flagellin correlated with the increased recruitment of neutrophils into airways, their localization at the periphery of bronchi, alveoli, and lung vessels, along with alterations in phagocytic activity. Lastly, single-cell analysis highlighted that the treatment stimulated the recruitment of specific neutrophil subsets capable of enhancing antibacterial effectiveness. In conclusion, this study highlights neutrophils as an appealing target for host-directed therapy in infection.

Project description:Community-acquired pneumonia is a widespread disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Alveolar macrophages are tissue-resident lung cells that play a crucial role in innate immunity against bacteria causing pneumonia. We hypothesized that alveolar macrophages display adaptive characteristics after resolution of bacterial pneumonia. We studied mice one to six months after self-limiting lung infection due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia. Among the myeloid cells recovered from the lung, only alveolar macrophages showed long-term modifications of their surface marker phenotype. The remodeling of alveolar macrophages was: (i) long-lasting (still observed 6 months post infection), (ii) regionally localized (only observed in the affected lobe after lobar pneumonia), and (iii) associated with a macrophage-dependent enhanced lung protection to another pneumococcal serotype. Metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling revealed that alveolar macrophages of mice which recovered from pneumonia had new baseline activities and altered responses to infection. Thus, the enhanced lung protection after mild and self-limiting respiratory infection includes a profound remodeling of alveolar macrophages that is long-lasting, compartmentalized, and manifest across surface receptors, metabolites, and both resting and stimulated transcriptomes. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression for mouse alveolar macrophages sorted from lungs that were naïve or infected more than a month previously, at rest and during an acute (4-hour) infection.

Project description:Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) dependent sensing of pathogens trig-gers proinflammatory immune responses in professional phagocytes that contribute to protect the host against pathogen invasion. Here, we examined whether overex-pression of Mincle designed to improve early pathogen sensing by professional phagocytes would improve lung protective immunity against Streptococcus pneu-moniae in mice. Proteomic profiling of alveolar macrophages (AM) of Mincle trans-genic (tg) mice stimulated with the Mincle-specific pneumococcal ligand glucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc-DAG) revealed increased Nlrp3 inflammasome activation and downstream IL-1 cytokine release that was not observed in Glc-DAG stimulated Mincle KO or Nlrp3 KO macrophages. Along this line, Mincle tg mice also responded with a stronger Nlrp3 expression and early proinflammatory cytokine release after challenge with S. pneumoniae, ultimately leading to fatal pneumonia in the Mincle tg mice. Importantly, Nlrp3 inhibitor treatment of Mincle tg mice significantly mitigated the observed hyperinflammatory response to pneumococcal challenge. Together, we show that overexpression of the pattern recognition receptor Mincle triggers in-creased Glc-DAG dependent Nlrp3 inflammasome activation in professional phago-cytes leading to fatal pneumococcal pneumonia in mice, which is amenable to Nlrp3 inhibitor treatment. These data show that ectopic expression of Mincle receptor con-fers increased susceptibility rather than resistance to S. pneumoniae in mice, thus highlighting the importance of an inducible Mincle receptor expression in response to microbial challenge.
