Differential autophagy responses in macrophages in chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders

ABSTRACT: Background & Aims: Macrophages are critical to maintain intestinal homeostasis and contribute to localized inflammation, once dysregulated. How their responses across chronic gut pathologies like idiopathic inflammation or infection-mediated inflammation are regulated, is not known. This study aimed at understanding macrophage dysfunction in patients of chronic idiopathic gut inflammation [Crohn’s Disease (CD)] and chronic gut infection-related inflammation [Intestinal Tuberculosis (ITB)]. Methodology: Confirmed CD (n=42) and ITB (n=41) cases were recruited and whole blood samples were collected. PBMCs were enriched for CD14+ monocytes and differentiated into Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), which were either left uninfected or infected ex vivo with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). These MDMs were assessed for Mtb survival, gene expression by RNA-seq, mitochondrial function and autophagy flux assays. Results: MDMs from both CD and ITB subjects were permissive to intracellular Mtb growth, however the bacteria showed significantly better survival in the CD MDMs. RNA-seq data demonstrated that inflammatory response and autophagy pathway genes (protein coding as well as long noncoding RNA genes) are differentially regulated among CD and ITB MDMs, either basally or upon Mtb infection. Indeed, CD MDMs when compared to ITB, showed significantly diminished autophagy flux. Conclusions: Our results indicate an inherent impairment of autophagy process in CD MDMs when compared with ITB MDMs. We propose that the inability to maintain the autophagy process could contribute towards chronic idiopathic inflammation disorders of the gut.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis induced interferon pathways distinguish responses of Human Alveolar Macrophages from Monocyte-Derived Macrophages

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) mediate early lung immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Using paired human AMs and MDMs from 6 healthy volunteers, we investigated transcriptional profiles in responses to Mtb. We found 681 genes that were Mtb-dependent in AMs compared to MDMs, 107 that were induced in both cell types but in different directions, and 4538 that were Mtb-dependent in MDMs but not AMs (FDR < 0.05). We found that IFNA Response and IFNG Response were the top two gene sets selectively induced in Mtb-infected AM. Thus, a second experiment utilized MDMs treated with IFNA1, IFNA8, IFNE, or IFNL1 found that IFNA8 modulated Mtb-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines and, compared to other interferons,stimulated unique transcriptional profiles.

Antigen-specific CD4+ T cells promote monocyte recruitment and differentiation into glycolytic lung macrophages to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Although lung myeloid cells provide an intracellular niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), CD4+ T cells limit Mtb growth in these cells to protect the host. Here, we show that monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), instead of phenotypically similar dendritic cells, are preferentially infected with Mtb in murine lungs. Mtb-specific CD4+ T cells recruited monocyte precursors of MDMs into the lungs via interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Although the CD4+ T cells increased the number of Mtb-infectable cells in the lungs, they then attenuated Mtb growth by engaging in MHC class II (MHCII)-mediated cognate interactions with monocyte-derived cells to promote their disinfection. Specifically, cognate CD4+ T cell help via MHCII enhanced MDM expression of glycolytic genes independently of IFN-γ. These results indicate that CD4+ T cells recruit infectable MDMs to the lungs and trigger glycolysis-dependent bacterial control within them by engaging MHCII-bound Mtb peptides on their surfaces.

Type I IFNs exacerbate tuberculosis pathogenesis by inhibiting migration of antigen specific T cells

Project description:Tuberculosis, a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), often becomes exacerbated upon co-infection with other pathogens, yet the underlying immunological mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Here, mice were initially infected with the hypervirulent Mtb strain K, and later with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to investigate the mechanism of severe pulmonary pathology. Virus infection significantly reduced Mtb-specific IFN-g, increased bacterial loads, and aggravated lung inflammation in the lung of Mtb-infected mice, which did not occur in pre-existence of Th1 response by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination prior to the co-infection. Blockade of type I IFN receptor signaling reinvigorated Mtb-specific IFN-γ response and ameliorated pathogenesis by upregulating pulmonary CXCL9/10 production. Our results demonstrate that virus-induced type I IFN triggers severe immunopathology by deteriorating migration of Mtb-specific IFN-γ-producing T cells, suggesting the balance between type I and type II IFNs determines either control of Mtb or exacerbation of pathology in the lung upon viral infection

Secretome Analysis of Mycobacterial-infected Bovine Macrophages

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis, a chronic granulomatous disease. Mtb is mostly restricted to humans and seldom causes disease in animals. M. bovis (Mbv) on the other hand causes tuberculosis in cows (bovine tuberculosis) and several wild animals. Each of these pathogens therefore has unique host adaptations and the host- and pathogen-specific factors driving this differential tropism still remain largely unknown. Here we profiled the secretomes of Mtb- and Mbv-infected bovine macrophages to characterise host-specific responses to each pathogen.

Tuberculosis resistance protein TOLLIP controls immune pathology by resolving the integrated stress response in alveolar macrophages

Project description:A functional polymorphism responsible for TOLLIP deficiency is associated with increased tuberculosis risk. However, TOLLIP’s role in TB pathogenesis is unknown. Tollip-/- mice developed severe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) disease, characterized by macrophage and T cell inflammation from multiple cell populations alongside foam cell formation and lipid accumulation. Tollip-/- alveolar macrophages (AM) selectively accumulated lipid and underwent necrosis in an autonomous manner. Transcriptional and protein analysis analysis of Mtb-infected, Tollip-/- AM demonstrated increased EIF2 signaling, a key regulator of the integrated stress response (ISR) to variable environmental conditions. The ISR, inflammation, and lipid accumulation were linked, as incubation of the Mtb lipid mycolic acid with Mtb-infected Tollip-/- AM led to ISR activation and Mtb replication. Correspondingly, ISRIB, a small-molecule ISR inhibitor, selectively reduced Mtb intracellular carriage in AM and improved Mtb control, overcoming the inflammatory phenotypeinflammation. Targeting the ISR broadly improves Mtb control and immunopathology, offering a promising target for host-directed tuberculosis therapy.

Iron-restricted Mycobacterium tuberculosis exports pathogenicity factors packed in extracellular vesicles

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of human tuberculosis, responds to iron limitation by upregulating extracellular vesicle (EV) production. This study examined the protein composition of induced Mtb vesicles using chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The findings revealed vesicle packaging of critical pathogenicity effectors, including proteins that promote bacterial survival, immune evasion, and inflammation. The results are relevant to the fundamental understanding of Mtb-host interactions and can guide efforts to develop vesicle-based TB biomarkers.

Aberrant miR-29 is a predictive feature of severe phenotypes in pediatric Crohn’s disease

Project description:Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory gut disorder. Molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical heterogeneity of CD remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gut physiology and several have been implicated in the pathogenesis of adult CD. However, there is a dearth of large-scale miRNA studies for pediatric CD. We hypothesized that specific miRNAs uniquely mark pediatric CD. We performed small RNA-sequencing of patient-matched non-inflamed colon and ileum biopsies from treatment-naïve pediatric patients with CD (n=169) and a control cohort (n=108). Comprehensive miRNA analysis revealed 58 miRNAs altered in pediatric CD. Notably, multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that index levels of ileal miR-29 are strongly predictive of severe inflammation and stricturing. Transcriptomic analyses of transgenic mice overexpressing miR-29 show a significant reduction of the tight junction protein gene Pmp22 and classic Paneth cell markers. The dramatic loss of Paneth cells was confirmed by histologic assays. Moreover, we also found that pediatric CD patients with elevated miR-29 exhibit significantly lower Paneth cell counts, increased inflammation scores, and reduced levels of PMP22. These findings strongly indicate that miR-29 up-regulation is a distinguishing feature of pediatric CD, highly predictive of severe phenotypes, and associated with inflammation and Paneth cell loss.

Tax1bp1 promotes inflammatory signaling and necrosis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of alveolar macrophages

Project description:Crosstalk between autophagy, host cell death, and inflammatory host responses to bacterial pathogens enables effective innate immune responses that limit bacterial growth while reducing coincidental host damage. Mycobacterium tuberculosis thwarts innate immune defense mechanisms in alveolar macrophages (AMs) during the initial stages of infection and in recruited bone marrow-derived cells during later stages of infection. How protective inflammatory responses are achieved during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and the differences in these responses in macrophage subtypes are obscure. Here, we discovered that the autophagy receptor Tax1bp1 plays a critical role in enhancing inflammatory cytokine production and promoting the susceptibility of mice to infection with Mtb. These results were surprising because Tax1bp1 instead restricts Mtb growth during infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), as we previously showed (Budzik et al. 2020), and terminates cytokine production in response to cytokine stimulation or viral infection. Tax1bp1 also leads to increases in bacterial growth and inflammatory responses during infection of mice with Listeria monocytogenes, an intracellular pathogen that is not effectively targeted to canonical autophagy. In contrast to its role in restricting Mtb growth in BMDMs, Tax1bp1 promotes Mtb growth in AMs, neutrophils, and recruited monocyte-derived cells from the bone marrow. In Mtb-infected AMs, Tax1bp1 enhances necrosis and inflammatory cytokine synthesis while restraining apoptosis, changing the mode of host cell death to favor Mtb replication. Similar to Tax1bp1-deficiency in AMs, the expression of phosphosite-deficient Tax1bp1 restricts Mtb growth. Together, these results show that Tax1bp1 plays a crucial role in linking the regulation of autophagy, cell death, and pro-inflammatory host responses to augment susceptibility to bacterial infection.

Human memory CD4+ T cells recognize Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages amid broader pathogen-specific responses [scRNA-seq]

Project description:CD4+ T cell-mediated control of tuberculosis (TB) requires recognition of macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Yet not all Mtb-specific T cells recognize infected macrophages. Using infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and autologous memory CD4+ T cells from individuals with latent Mtb infection (LTBI), we isolate and quantify CD4+ T cells activated in response to infected macrophages. We use T cell antigen receptor (TCR) sequencing to determine the total and unique Mtb-specific TCR clonotypes linked to recognition of infected macrophages, and find that a subset required exogenous antigen exposure, suggesting incomplete recognition. Clonotypes specific for multiple Mtb antigens, and other pathogens, were also identified. We use bulk TCRb deep sequencing from total CD4+ T cells isolated from 10x106 PBMCs from each participant to determine the natural circulating frequencies of relevant TCR clonotypes. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to examine the effector functions of CD4+ T cells in response to infected macrophages. Mtb-specific clonotypes expressed signature effector functions dominated by IFNg, TNF, IL-2, and GM-CSF or chemokine production and signaling. We propose TB vaccines that elicit T cells specific for T7SS substrates, recognize infected macrophages, and express canonical effector functions will offer protection against TB.

Epigenetic inactivation of the autophagy-lysosomal system in the Parkinson’s disease appendix

Project description:The gastrointestinal tract may be a site of origin for α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), and an abundance of aggregated α-syn has recently been demonstrated in both the healthy and PD appendix. However, the molecular changes that enable gut α-syn aggregates to contribute to the development and progression of PD remain unclear. Here, our deep-sequencing of DNA methylation changes at 521 autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) genes in the human appendix and brain in PD and healthy controls indicates a pattern of widespread hypermethylation in the PD appendix that is recapitulated in the PD brain. There is significant overlap in the individual ALP genes affected across the PD appendix and brain, with lysosomal genes specifically downregulated in both regions. Healthy epigenetic aging, which involves a hypermethylation of macroautophagy and selective autophagy genes in the appendix and brain, is disrupted in both areas in PD. In mice, DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by chronic gut inflammation are greatly exacerbated by the presence of α-syn pathology. DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by α-synucleinopathy are significantly associated with the ALP abnormalities observed in the PD appendix, specifically involving lysosomal genes. Our work, which constitutes an in-depth, unbiased investigation of epigenetic changes in the ALP of the PD gut and brain, identifies the epigenetic misregulation of the ALP, especially a downregulation of lysosomal genes, as a potential culprit for the initiation and spread of α-syn pathology in idiopathic PD.
