Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s top infectious killer. Understanding how immune mediators determine the outcome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection could facilitate the design of better therapies against this devastating disease. GM-CSF mediates protective immunity against TB but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. To determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective role of GM-CSF during M. tuberculosis infection we performed RNA-sequencing analyses of whole blood and lung samples obtained from C57Bl/6 mice infected with HN878 and treated with anti-GM-CSF monoclonal antibody or isotype control. Uninfected mice were also treated and used as uninfected controls. Three weeks post-infection, whole blood and lungs were harvested from each individual mouse and processed for RNA-sequencing. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that during M. tuberculosis infection GM-CSF regulates the expression of genes associated with neutrophil recruitment and activation and type I IFN-inducible genes, which have been previously associated with TB pathogenesis. Further mechanistical studies showed that disease exacerbation driven by GM-CSF blockade during M. tuberculosis infection was type I IFN and neutrophil-dependent and that over-activation of neutrophils by type I IFN induced NET formation at the site of infection. NETs were also found in necrotic lung lesions from patients with pulmonary TB and type I IFN-driven NET formation correlated with increased disease susceptibility in different mouse models of TB. Our findings reveal an important immune network that may play a central role in determining TB outcome.

Project description:Treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases with tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists has been associated with increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). We examined the usefulness of the rabbit model of active pulmonary TB for studying the impact of the human immune modulatory reagent etanercept on the host immune response. Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, disease pathology and the global transcriptional response in Mtb-infected lungs of rabbits were studied. Etanercept treatment exacerbated disease pathology and reduced bacillary control in the lungs, compared to infected untreated animals. The microarray experiments involves comparison of changes in gene expression between Mtb-HN878 infected and Etanercept treated and untreated rabbit lungs at 4 and 8 weeks post-treatment, starting at 4 weeks post-infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb HN878 at about 3.2log10 (on day 0). One group of rabbits were treated with Etanercept, starting at 4 weeks post-infection, for 4 or 8 weeks. Total RNA from lung tissues of treated and untreated animals were isolated at 4 and 8 weeks post treatment and used for microarray gene expression analysis.

Project description:Current antibiotic regimen to treat tuberculosis (TB) is ineffective in fully eliminating the bacterial load and in alleviating disease pathology. We examined the usefulness of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor (CC-11050) as an adjunctive to anti-TB drug Isoniazid (INH) to improve the outcome of treatment in a rabbit model of active pulmonary TB. Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth, disease pathology and the global transcriptional response in Mtb-infected lungs of rabbits with or without CC-11050 treatment were studied. The microarray experiments involves comparison of changes in gene expression between uninfected and Mtb-HN878 infected (Untreated) or CC-11050 treated rabbit lungs at 8 weeks post-treatment, starting at 4 weeks of infection (i.e, 12 weeks post infection).

Project description:The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, resistant to the frontline anti-tubercular drugs rifampicin and isoniazid, forces treatment with less effective and toxic second-line drugs and stands to derail TB control efforts. However, the immune response to MDR Mtb infection remains poorly understood. Here, we determined the RNA transcriptional profile of in vitro generated macrophages to infection with either drug susceptible Mtb HN878 or MDR Mtb W_7642 infection.

Project description:The critical role of type I IFN (IFN I ) in viral disease is thoroughly documented while their function in bacterial infection remains ambiguous. General interest in biological functions of IFN I in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection was raised by the identification of a distinct IFN I gene expression signature in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Here we demonstrate that TB-susceptible mice lacking the receptor for IFN I (IFNAR1) were protected from death upon aerogenic infection with Mtb. Increased survival was accompanied by reduced bacterial burden and ameliorated lung pathology as well as diminished production of proinflammatory IL-1?, among other cytokines. IFNAR1 signaling did not affect T cell responses, but markedly altered migration of inflammatory monocytes and neutrophils to the lung during pulmonary TB. This process was orchestrated by presence of IFNAR1 in both immune and tissue-resident radioresistant cells. IFNAR1-driven TB susceptibility was initiated by CXCL5/CXCL1-driven accumulation of neutrophils into alveoli and subsequently a distinct compartmentalization of Mtb in lung phagocytes. We conclude that IFN I alters early innate events at the site of Mtb invasion leading to unleashed inflammation. Hence, our data furnish a mechanistic explanation for the detrimental role of IFN I in pulmonary TB. dual-color color-swap

Project description:Background: M.tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent and deadly human pathogens. The molecular mechanisms determining the outcomes of an infection with M.tuberculosis, that range from resistance to an active progressive disease, remain incompletely understood. Here we provide the evidence that IL-1alpha plays a critical and non-redundant role in enabling host resistance to pulmonary M.tuberculosis infection in mice that develop functional pathogen-specific adaptive immunity. Mechanistically, IL-1alpha-deficient mice fail to control M.tuberculosis replication in vivo at a level of individual infected cells and succumb to progressive disease at the late phase of infection. Furthermore, we show that IL-1alpha from hematopoietic compartment through IL-1RI operates upstream of TNFRI-signaling pathway and the lack of IL-1alpha leads to the continuous influx of monocytes that acquire a hyper-inflammatory phenotype and contribute to pathology, rather than to a pathogen control. Cell-type-specific restoration of IL-1alpha expression in CD11c+ subsets of lung leukocytes resulted in reduced levels of inflammatory marker expression on lung cells and improved survival IL-1alpha-deficient mice after M.tuberculosis infection. In humans, genetic analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in 14 genes implicated in IL-1-IL-1R signaling pathway revealed association of genetic variations in IL-1alpha and IL-1RAP genes with human susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis. Our results implicate IL-1alpha as a principal factor of host resistance to M.tuberculosis and IL-1alpha-driven cell-cell crosstalk as a key step in triggering M.tuberculosis control mechanisms that are critical for host survival.

Project description:Every year, tuberculosis kills nearly 1.8 million people through out the world. Though outcome of M. tuberculosis infection into active disease is determined by the host and bacterial factors, a strong host immune response controls the growth of the bacilli effectively. However, in a host with suboptimal immune response, the bacilli grows and mounts active disease. Activation of immune response following M. tuberculosis infection affects the expression of many host genes that are involved in the production of immune system molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, surface receptors and transcriptional regulators that manifest in the change of subsequent cellular events, including activation, maturation, chemotaxis and proliferation of effector cells. However, the specific nature of the host-pathogen interactions and the outcome of Mtb infection are not fully understood. In this study, we have analysed the systematic changes in the global host gene expression profile in the lungs of Mtb infected rabbits at various stages of infection. Mtb infected rabbit lung tissues were isolated at T=0,2, 4 and 16 weeks post-infection. Lung bacterial load, histologic changes and host and bacterial gene expression were determined for each timepoint and compared . Our data suggests a strong correlation between the significant changes in the global transcriptome of infected rabbits and the progression of Mtb infection into a chronic, cavitary TB disease. The microarray experiments involves comparison of: 1) Changes in rabbit gene expression between Mtb-HN878 infected and uninfected animals at 2,4 and 16 weeks post infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb HN878 at 3.2log10 (on day 0). Lung tissue from Mtb-infected rabbits were isolated at Day0, 2, 4 and 16 weeks post infection and used for total RNA extraction.
